Thunder clouds approaching!

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged! Well, the parking lot opposite is finished but nobody has been allowed to park on it so far! Doesn't look too bad. Our computer went down so we are the proud owners of a nice new shiny black model.
Yesterday we had thunder and lightening, quiet dramatic. It poured with rain nearly all day.

Sadly today, we say 'goodbye' to our dear friend Dick who has been with us for 7 days. He's off back home to San Francisco. The three of us went for lunch yesterday at LULU, downtown in the old Muriel's. A HUGE menu, they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very ambitious of them and we hope it works out. It had a great quota of fags and will definitely be on our list of recommendations. The 'red hat society' were there for lunch enjoying themselves as usual. For those who don't know, the 'red hats society is a group of women who go out for tea (or lunch, or dinner) for themselves, not for charity but to have FUN! I think the minimum age is 50 but I might be wrong on that. Anyhoo, check out the poem, "When I grow old I shall wear purple, and a red hat".......... then you'll know what they are about.

Goodbye to Dick, but hello Friday to Jim and Terry, also from San Francisco and also in for 7 days. Welcome back!!!!

I have just finished reading "Secret Historian" By Justin Spring. The life and times of Samuel Steward, professor, tattoo artist and sexual renegrade. How very interesting and we have a lot to thank Steward and his contemporaries for the life we now have. Please read it (ignore the footnotes, they drove me crazy), reflect and be thankful.
