I headed out this morning to get Argento the fiat’s oil changed. They did some routine maintenance stuff too and ordered a new display array (yes that’s right, a display array) to fix the lagging clock problem. Known issue friends, known issue… so they’re going to replace the whole dashboard view in order to fix a clock that doesn’t keep time… OK. Anyway that took longer than I’d hoped but on the other hand it cost me zero dollars.
While I was waiting, I re-read some material I’d bookmarked about sonnets and wrote one, which I shall post shortly. Turns out the rhythm is more of a challenge than the rhyming. Should be an interesting April. I’m quite sure the person sitting nearby must have thought it weird that I kept ticking things off on my two hands. How do cool poets handle that?
Buoyed up by that I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought some reasonably good twin-sized sheets: a set of two sheets and a pillow case and an individually sold flat and fitted sheet. The sheets are currently in the washer.
I resisted the urge to buy a small blow dryer which apparently is de rigueur for watercolorists.
I did not resist the urge for a little Baggallini purse. I was sad they didn’t have a laptop-sized number of some form but they do specialize in small bags, afterall. Anyway this appealed to everything Virgo about me and turns out to have a little “secret” compartment on the body-side of the thing and can be used across the body or on a belt using the same strap. That’s what it says folk, I just report what I see.
Oh and PS, it’s snowing.
