     The only sound I hear is a dog barking persistently all afternoon. I can’t hear the parade or the bands playing or the crowd. Were they quiet or am I not hearing so well? Once the stars come out the firework blasts and explosions arrive. Sounds of war.

     The highlands baker arrives with fresh baked rye bread and conversation, in the late afternoon.  I get to tell her my current medical stories. I have endless stories. I suspect most of my visitor are tired of them. I am tired of them. But I am also tired of talking about our dreadful politics.

     Started reading Chris Lintott’s book, ACCIDENTAL ASTRONOMY, How random discoveries shape the science of space. Now here is something new to talk about.

     Meals on Wheels brings extra food for the three day weekend. More food than I can actually eat. I have a lot of choices for my meals. I am still watching CLARKSON’S FARM on prime. I had no idea that farming is so hard.
