The Coffee House

[waday]

I sort of like a nice rainy day and just slept in today, it was nice having windows open and the rain smelled so good. But we've had enough rain already! not hot but not really cool either, can't make up its mind what season it is today. After today supposed to be dry. I'm ready for grass that stops growing and doesn't need to be cut.

Agree! I love rainy days here and there.

It feels like we've had more rainy days than non-rainy days in the past few months. I come home to find my potted hibiscus in 3-4 inches of water every day. It now needs a support to keep it upright, because it's so waterlogged.

I feel bad about the areas that will probably be dealing with flooding, but I have to say that I personally have been quite delighted with this summer so far and the fact that it's been mild and rainy. Now if we can keep this pattern (or at least keep it "mild and cloudy" - doesn't have to be rainy) for the next month or so, I'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Yeah, we still get the Indian summer heat wave towards the end of Sept/beginning of Oct, but I know that it's just one last temper tantrum and that I will have gotten through another dreaded summer.

That's what winters in northern Portugal are like. It rains constantly. Umbrellas are an absolute necessity and mold becomes a serious problem. One of the nicknames that my mother said they had for the town when she was growing up was "penico do céu" or "chamberpot of the sky."

Yuck!

I hate mold (when it's not desired) with a passion. Desired mold would be food and penicillin?

Rain is on the way for here. I also got my scans in from my two most recent rolls of film. I'm extremely happy, and I'll be littering them around here once they've completely downloaded.

Is that with the camera I gifted you?

And the lens! I'm at the mechanic getting my oil changed. I'll post the results when I get home.

Oh, I am right there with you. I had a huge problem with black mold in my apartment, and I got pretty sick one year. Can't remember if the diagnosis was ultimately bronchitis or walking pneumonia. Either way, I was out of work for 2 weeks.

Gary's Sekonic Studio Deluxe Lightmeter (circa 1970's) was missing the dome which rendered the meter unusable. The parts came in making the meter complete. Gary used this puppy in conjunction with a Pentax Spotmeter for his metering needs.

Ugh.

More. Rain.

Very tired of rain. The streams are very high for a good portion of the state. We don't need another major flood here so soon. Last major flood (at least for central/southcentral PA) was in 2011.

Yay! Maps!

Had Bronchitis many times that I thought was bad till I spent a week in the hospital last Sumner with Pneumonia.

Ouch. I didn't have to go to the hospital, but I had frequent doctor visits and a note from her forbidding me from work for a week, and then extending that to another week when my chest x-ray showed I still needed more recovery time.

Interesting thing about the health care system in Portugal? You get to keep your x-rays. I still have my 2 chest films.

And giving away the negatives hasn't collapsed the X-ray photo market?
