Warm September continues warm, more pleasantly today than yesterday, which was muggier. And probably bad air quality, though I didn't notice it excessively until last night when there was a chemical stink to the air in spite of closed windows.

Yesterday I went out to Midoco to buy one of their screen cleaners, a soft polyester (as it happens) mouse that sort of works. Tissues and handkerchiefs don't, even with spray. Then returning home I realized there's a new pizza place, right beside Pizza Pizza, and the door was open and so, yeah. Their slices are larger than that Canuck staple next door and very good. But of course I need to avoid starch and cheese and nitrate meats, sigh.

Stretching at the study window this morning, observed SND returning from somewhere and heard shrill cries of childish glee inside the garage. Then as SND opened the door to the garage and walked in she seemed to... be doubled? as she immediately came out again. Eventually registered that SND2 was actually older than J, oh, and dressed differently, but like enough that it's clearly a sister. And thus the shrill whooping was her kid, trying to collar Ollie who was having great fun being chased around inside the garage. SND's fiancé eventually lured him out, and instructed kid how to keep him out by blocking his route while the adults continued to unpack the car. So I assume this was the kid I saw before, playing with Ollie in the yard: though that kid had straight hair and this one had curls. 

Otherwise was a nice July afternoon, deep blue sky and warm breeze. Continue on with Terra Nostra which is beginning to fantod me, all the bits I'd totally forgotten. But courage, and onwards.
