20221015 On the water

I’ve been neglecting my daily walks. Last week was busy at work, and chaotic around the house. I got out in the morning and took a walk through ‘t Twiske. The day was overcast, but not cold. It drizzled a bit towards the end, and I was wet when I got home. But it was good to clear my lungs of all the accumulated concrete and plaster dust. While I was out, Abi did a ton of vacuuming around house, and mopped the construction site to catch a lot of the dust that would otherwise have just puffed up again.

Took some photos while I was out, but most of them came out a bit meh. I clambered under the bridge across the water on the Twiskeweg where a few doves were nesting. The light wasn’t great, and everything came out a bit dim. The photo above uses the Fujifilm “Classic Chrome” film simulation mode, which I don’t use very often, but which seemed to suit the slightly washed-out feel of the day.

I finally got around to doing my expenses for the trip to New York in September. I took the subway and PATH trains a lot while I was there. The company’s expenses policy allows us to take a taxi from the airport, but I prefer public transport. Public transport around New York city is pretty good.

The electricians were round, and a fellow came and drilled a large hole through the outside wall for the new extractor fan. This is pretty cool, because it shows us what kind of insulation we have between the inner and outer walls. Given that the house was built in 1993, I was pretty sure there would be some kind of insulation, but I didn’t know what it would be.

Very much at the “aaahhhhh what have we done” stage of the kitchen rebuild.

Watched the first two episodes of House of The Dragon with Fiona this evening. Long day, very tired. Off to bed.
