Oh gosh, my carabao grass needs trimming again.
This is what happens when it rains almost every day and the grass grows like crazy. Maybe I have to postpone trimming it for a week more until after I’m done visiting my doctor for another monthly check-up. I am scheduled for lab tests on the 20th of this month. Growing older, getting old, every which way you look at it, time is inching its way too fast.
Didn’t I say I am excited to see my friends tomorrow? It’s been a while since we have seen each other last. I just cooked a kilo of chicken pork adobo today which we’ll have tomorrow for lunch along with fresh veggies from the garden. Adobo tastes so much better a day or two after when the sauce has seeped through. It’s a Pilipino recipe that is so easy to prepare but tastes so good. I like dry adobo. We sometimes serve it with quail eggs.
Presently listening to some old songs on YouTube. Pete’s blog post triggered it actually.
It’s nice to go back sometimes to the 60’s music and dream of those days when life was simple and you were younger. Procol Harum is good in A Whiter Shade of Pale. Just finished watching some of the greatest golden hits of the 60’s. I love the Motown sounds too. There was a time when I was still working when I would bring a small cassette player with an ear phone and listen to some music on cassette. Music One was a favorite place to go to during lunch break. Back home, the CD player was of constant use. I have compiled those sounds during the British Invasion. Nowadays though, I just rely on my small radio which I take outside when I am gardening. I could listen to the latest news and some music in between. Music soothes the soul. It also makes me smile.
I found these four books (they’re actually in a series) by Nora Roberts. It’s a story of four brothers who were adopted in their younger years. I’m in book 3 and enjoying it. I am done with 85% of my reading challenge at Goodreads.
How was your day?
