Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 15 - Mar. 21)
I was about to write a blog about how we are only halfway through the month but then realized that we only have a few days left 😮 In the past day I've had April showers in March bringing May flowers, and March snowstorms killing any May flowers that popped earlier than April. Wait, did I F that up? Well yes I did. I cannot judge what month we are in anymore by the weather outside.
I know I once read that Medellin, Columbia has an average temp of 22 C/72 F year round. I could live with that, I think
. I can stand a little bit warmer and I can stand a lot lower, but that sounds pleasant. What I wonder is how much sunscreen I would need. To be honest, I should wear sunscreen for anything above 10 degrees but usually about 25 C is my default. Yes, I know that I should wear it year round no matter the temp.
Today I was flipping through the channels and couldn't find anything to watch during our snowstorm. Speedskating, nah, College basketball, nah, Netflix/Crave/Disney/Apple TV+/Prime/Tubi etc., nah. So I went over to my bookcase and after taking a vacuum cleaner to it
, I pulled out a long ago paperback novel that I haven't read in years and years. Do you save books for the sake of saving books? I know libraries and bookstores are not really interested in old books, but I hate to just toss them into recycling.
Well after closing my eyes and grabbing a book, I came out with The Osterman Weekend by Robert Ludlum when I think he still wrote books by himself 😮 Heard of it? First thing I can tell you is that the pages are YELLOW
. I primarily read on my iPad nowadays and to pull out a paperback book is weird to say the least.
So if you like to participate, here are some questions for this week. Please answer them in order
- Would you like a regular temperature year round or do you like your seasons?
- Do you wear sunscreen regularly?
- Did you watch any TV or Movies yesterday?
- Do you own any old paperbacks or hard cover books still?
- Do you ever read them or are you a digital kind of person now?
- What is the last book as on paper, did you read?
