Today?
Go and get the car washed
Put away the laundry
Watch some football on TV, maybe!

Plans for today (2024)

- Start date
Another day of sitting in the dark, methinks. Power outage numbers have budged very little overnight…except to increase slightly.
Update on the power situation: still out, though numbers are improving. Peak outage in our county was a little over 5,300 by Friday night, now down to a little over 1,000…but they’ve posted an update saying that power won’t be restored to everyone until late Monday night.
Because we live semi-rurally, we’re always the last serviced, because they go for the concentrated population areas first…so I’m expecting another night of no power.
Fridge was indeed not cold when I opened it earlier today, so what had to be purged has been purged, wasn’t too bad, but it always hurts throwing out stuff.
Neighbor did finally offer up some freezer space (after a little nudging from MrsT), and the damn thing was half empty, so they had plenty of space, and I got all the freezer stuff I was concerned about over there in enough time.

Unbelievable still. Had to be asked. Glad you were able to salvage it.
Done and it made for a most enjoyable evening.
I can’t say I was blown away by his drumming but it was good, he keeps time so incredibly well it could almost be a drum machine. I suppose that’s one of those things you don’t get credit for.
He certainly provides an excellent platform for the others to do their thing, tastefully proportionate and skilfully delivered.
Today I'm going to buy a new remote for the TV, collect a debt or two and go to my friend's catering centre to teach her how to make carrot halwa!
Whats carrot halwa?
It's an Indian sweet - a little like fudge, but not quite as thick. Carrots, semolina, sugar, milk, nuts and cardamom, basically.
I have actually eaten that!
Quick note, I’m heading out the door for the hopefully-not-more-than-an-hour commute to the office (first time in months), but power came back on exactly at midnight - the techs must have been listening to some Wilson Pickett (“I’m gonna wait ‘til the midnight hour…”).
Good stuff.

Today I will resign. At the end of the month I start a new job outside Italy. A new chapter of life.
Sounds exciting and bold!
