This was a really bad flu. It's getting slowly better , but I spent the weekend in bed.
Mati is off to a research project at the university for two hours (they're basically measuring the best ways to teach children with autism). I'm sitting on my front porch, enjoying the sudden onset of autumn and the first brown leaves spinning down from the pin oaks.
Last month I got a lovely pair of modernist metal chairs and a table from a garage sale for the total 20$, only to discover later that they are of Italian origin and are quite pricey. They're a bit beaten up, but undefeated (like me?). It's rather wonderful to sit here. I have raw honey in the house, and should get a cup of tea.
Hm. I'll be back.
And voila! View of the street from my front yard, the pin oak straight ahead, and its brother is to the left (the trunk is invisible, but you can see some of the branches).
And the tea! The little teapot is for
zavarka, courtesy of my mother. The cup is also courtesy of my mother. The little white dish is a part of my
golem dish set.
