Clear

Slept heavily, unlike poor D. Cats off and on the bed. This morning, D left for work, barely making an impression through my unconsciousness. Eleanor curled behind my knees, and I thought I felt Moby hop up. Sure enough, when I actually woke up, he was at the foot, and she still nestled in behind me. I got up, and they stayed, for at least another couple of hours. This afternoon, again, we found them both there.



Well.

This pleases us immensely.


Laid down more scarlet flax seeds on the wet soil, along with coffee grounds from work. Loads of sunflowers sprouting madly. Compost out to the pile. Cleared away the fallen branch.

Visited Ocean City, a new Asian market, more Pacific rim stuff, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese brands and foods, fish and seafood. As opposed to more Indian and Chinese with some Japanese, at the other places I visit.

But as I turned into their parking, a bunch of cops, including one with a 'Crime Scene' jacket - taking photos, were there. I asked if they were open, assured they were, I went in. Apparently they had a break-in. Nothing too serious, as far as I could gather without being nosy. New store, well laid out, similar to the other Asian markets in town, or rather, some overlap. I want a class, to learn how to cook with all these interesting ingredients. Tempted by the curls of lamb and the scallops, but the amounts were too large for two people. Not without some research and planning.

But I got soba and sesame seeds and oil.

Stopped across the street at my favorite beer brewers, but the lights were off. They were open, but they'd lost power from the winds. Manual exchange process, but with a little patience, everyone satisfied.

Everything wet, clear skies, brisk and cool.
