Project Lorraine
Immaculate blue sky. And a day in which I felt curiously content and happy just to potter about with my wife. Betty off to work and back to London, and I began Project Lorraine today, which is a cunning way of starting Project Peter and mapping it onto someone else. So a porridge breakfast and off into town to buy Lorraine a pair of walking boots which actually fit her. Went to some lengths to do this in Blacks on North Street, being served by a nice woman also monitoring a man trying to steal an anorak.
Home via the sunny Laines, and stopping to watch musicians playing. Then into Sainsbury's where we brought the fixin's for a Project Lorraine approved lunch of delicious Greek Salad. In the evening we ate sea trout fillets, couscous and roast vegetables, and had a walk around in the park under a full moon in a clear sky and heard my iPhone make a noise in my trousers to indicate that we had walked over 10,000 paces.
We spent the afternoon starting The House Poo. Which is a process where we purge our house of stuff and junk. This weekend we started at the top of the house, and filled a box with books for the charity shops, bags of rubbish, and recycling. All in all a really satisfying thing to do, and the study is a place of beauty.
Spoke to Mum who had detected someone trying to scam her into sending art works. I googled the name of the scammer marceladavidshop@gmail.com and found out it had been done before.
Also managed to turn the TV off this evening. I am reading two books simultaneously. Seem to have got off to an American start to my reading this year. Am reading A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole as an actual paper book, and Cannery Row by John Steinbeck as an audiobook.
