Aside from a telephone consult with my small-m medicine man, accomplishment today was taking apart one of my woodblock prints whose glass cracked lo these many years. I take my hat off to the framers of same because jeez that thing was solidly assembled. Took a utility knife and a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to prise it all apart, and print took some minor damage in the process. Half the glass is now in a bubble wrap envelope awaiting garbage day. The other half requires a larger envelope which I have not got, since I don't really want to try breaking it with a hammer to get it down to size.
Other accomplishment was getting a bottle of gin open, non sine labore, and alas I didn't manage to do it in time to ease the back spasms so that I could sweep up the linden detritus out front before it got too dark to see. Must do that tomorrow. Gardening in the back yard got me two mosquito bites on the back of my leg (well, I hope they're mosquito bites) and I hope to be spared that in the front garden.
But consoled myself with my favourite dinner, poached duck egg on an avocado-spread slice of bread. Caraway rye would make it perfect but no one has that anymore.
