Main activity today was to lead a tour at the museum at 2pm. Don’t remember what I did in the morning, but I’m sure it was terribly constructive. Oh, I remember. Actually this was yesterday: the pot containing one of my favorite plants just split, half of the side of the pot falling off. I didn’t actually notice that, what I noticed was that the plant was obviously water-stressed, leaves all limp. Poor baby, what’s wrong? Oh–half of your root ball is exposed. So I had to repot the plant in a hurry, and made a mess of potting soil and stuff on the balcony. So part of this morning was to sweep up the mess and generally tidy up.
Anyway, after lunch I hopped in Fred and off to the museum. Good tour, had a couple of people who were absolutely riveted by my spiel, watching and nodding at every word. Very flattering.
After supper I was looking through some of the old pictures on my Smugmug page, and casually asked Joanne if she would be bored by somebody’s 20-year-old vacation pics. She very generously came down and spent an hour looking at my old pics of New Zealand. So that was nice.
