The lindens have gone to town with their seedlings, which are not only profuse but sticky, so that the wheels of my walker- already pitted by two years of contact with Toronto sidewalks- become immovably gunked up with them whenever I go out. Also it appears that at some point I walked over a patch of black rubbery stuff that, unlke the seedlings, can't be washed off with lots of water and an abrasive cloth. Ah well. It's too hot to be walking outside anyway. Though it's a nice dry heat like August in Tokyo and otherwise I would.
Finished Carpe Jugulum. One shouldn't use Granny as a role model but there are very few admirable old women in genial literature around, so one takes what one can. Because otherwise you've got achy old women in reality and I have enough of that in my own reality, thank you.
Couldn't sleep last night so thought I'd start a boring book and there was Spring Snow on the bookshelf beside the bed. Oh dear oh dear. We have a Japanese Bao Yu here, one of whom was quite sufficient. Also life is too short to read Mishima but it's July, a month to be got through however one can.
Mind, July also brings government goodies in the form of sales tax rebates and grocery rebates and such. I can't reconcile the dizzying sum depisited into my account with the sum the gov't says people in my income bracket get, but I'll take it.
