I slept very well only stirring to the calls of Nature which was at least twice through the night. Can’t “hold it” like I did as a younger man…I am in the habit of getting up around 9:00 am and even without looking at the clock, I know that it is approaching that time because of the position of the sun as it shines through the blinds in the morning. Again, we have nothing planned and will just see what develops as the day progresses.

I harnessed up Mikey and we went out walking as we always do. The morning walk is so that Mikey can pee after the long night and so that I can get the blood flowing to my old bones. I can almost see the look of relief on Mikey’s face as he goes and I know exactly what he is feeling.

When we got back, I brought out the bird feeders though, in truth, there are not many birds to feed nowadays. I guess a lot of them have flown off to warmer climes although, with our current temperatures so hot, it might have been a bit confusing for them. I don’t know if this summer is a forerunner of things to come as the Earth slowly heats up.

I fixed a bacon sandwich for breakfast and offered some to Mikey but again, he turned his nose up at the food. Hopefully, he will eat it later. As usual, the coffee hit the spot for me, not Mikey.. Then, it was time to work on the blog. Luckily, I was up to date and only had to finish and post yesterday and then start on today.

We sat around either listening to an Audiobook or just doing a whole lot of nothing which is something I am getting very good at. As the day progressed, I brought in the bird feeders and then me and Mikey sat on the outside couch as it got dark. It was kind of peaceful just sitting there and everything quiet around us.

Eventually, we went back inside for the evening meal and then watched television until it was bedtime.
