Throwback to Paris.
Because I need that right about now.
Sigh.
I’m posting a bit earlier today as I have a phone appointment with the director of Jane Eyre at about 10 am. Since it takes me so long to wake up in the morning and I have yet to have my second cup of coffee with Don, I realized I wouldn’t get everything in before 10 unless I got a move on!
It is very cold here today. Yesterday, seemingly out of nowhere, we had strong winds – very strong, relentless winds starting in early afternoon and continuing all night long. I didn’t see any wind warnings when I checked the weather in the morning, so it was a big surprise.
They were so loud that Don said he felt like we were being assaulted. Thankfully, I slept through the night in spite of them and things are calmer this morning. But goodness, it was crazy! So the temps have dropped and the wind chills have made for a very cold morning.
But it’s sunny and that makes me happy.
Except for my research for the play, things are as usual around here. I’ve had to pause on the renovation of Dove Cottage until I’m back from Hartford next week. (I’m going there for two days, Tuesday and Wednesday) Then I’ll have a little break until I have to check in for a run-through in early February, so I can get back to my ongoing stone work.
I miss working on that house! That’s a good thing because I went through quite a long period of not feeling motivated. So it’s a relief to feel motivated enough that I wish I didn’t have to hit ‘pause.’
As always, I am aware of the insanity going on in Washington and the world but I’m trying to keep a healthy distance from it for my peace of mind.
It’s not easy.
Hope all is well with you.
Happy Thursday.
