Had to pick something at the local pharmacy. I found it so thoughtful that, at the checkouts, they give priority to people over 60 who are pregnant.

In front of Syd and Gundy’s house, low winter afternoon light.

That’s a pigeon it’s got for dinner, best I can tell. With all the raptors we have here, and all the easy targets, like pigeons, I’ve always expected to see an attack, but never have.

Dead Things on the Beach. A penguin. Near the dunes. I don’t have even the beginning of an explanation.

The sign at Tienda Inglesa (Street View pic from better days) had become very faded, so they brought in a huge crane and took it down.

That thing is big! And i can promise you this is a job I would not want to have anything to do with, ever. I hope I get to see them reinstalling it.

And Syd.


Thermometer’s in our back yard, with lemon and orange trees, where it never freezes, but was 2°C this morning…pretty close, and same as two days in June. First frost in a month. Strange thing is the sky is not perfectly clear, as it always seems to be on mornings with frost. Some light, wispy clouds.

The owner said it sold here with Chinese plates. Why she didn’t have Uruguayan plates, but a printed certificate with the license number in the windshield…eh, enough mysteries for one day.

Those white envelopes contained save seeds from before the plandemic, for a cancelled seed exchange. Last spring I got a germination rate of about zero. So into a big glass they went, down to the corner lot, and scattered there. Bird food, I guess.
