This post will be quite short, for my wife has not had to work today. She did go out once, but she did so while I was having my early afternoon nap, and she returned just a few minutes after I had risen.
I took a photo early yesterday while I was out on my somewhat damp five-mile hike ─ I took the photo while directly across Surrey's King George Boulevard from the King George SkyTrain Station and the Coast Capital Savings headquarters building.
That latter structure is essentially the location of a popular drinking establishment of the second half of the 1970s known as the Surrey Inn. The Surrey Inn was to be known thereafter by a couple of other names, but it was always the Surrey Inn to those of us who frequented it in its original incarnation.
The photo was taken at exactly 4:30 a.m.
I would also like to mention that I had my second toolshed exercise session this morning that again saw me fail to match my performance of both this past Friday and Saturday where concerns pull-ups / chin-ups.
The Friday and Saturday sessions saw me perform far better than I have managed to do ever since I became ill and was hospitalized last October with "COVID pneumonia", losing considerable muscle and strength that month.
On Friday and Saturday I practically doubled what I have of late been managing to achieve in those exercises, but those two stellar days seem to have been flukes. I am again struggling, and I do not understand why.
Something else I wish to mention is that the lupin or lupine seeds I had 'scored' and placed within a folded paper towel that I then wetted and placed inside a plastic bag three or four days ago ─ there were maybe 19 seeds ─ have all sprouted a root to one degree or another.
So I now have the seeds within some wet potting soil that I spread over an 18-egg cardboard carton. This carton is itself set into an 18-egg styrofoam carton, and both are now in a plastic bag where I hope that the seeds will all develop shoots and start flourishing.
We may be done with frost for this part of the year, but I want the wee plants to have a few inches of growth before I transplant them due to the threat slugs and snails would have for much smaller plants.
Most likely I will have to shield each plant with their own plastic bag for a time to allow them even further protected growth once they are outdoors.
All else I wish to take the time to report is that we have had quite a sunny afternoon hereabouts. And since my early evening is already upon me and I wish to have a bath, I am going to call a halt to further blogging for today.
