Sitting in the darkness of my father's house while my husband gently sleeps listening to an environmental soundscape called "sitting on a stoop" which is an amazingly uncanny sound of New York or Brooklyn with people walking by and huge trucks coming off the Holland Tunnel and to the right in the distance a dribbling basketball and then in between in the quiet the sproingy sound of a bicycle chain when a cyclist speeds by & all the while birds are chirping and it feels like a balmy spring afternoon with the window open...Oh how I wish I were there!! I think the only thing missing is jump-roping and cicadas but it's pretty darn good I find that I lose myself in it and forget I'm actually in Carmel, which is a pretty cool thing
Had a fabulous day today in Carmel all told...
Met my Father's friend Pim who is from Thailand & a very jovial sort! Spent the evening with her supping and altho I was nervous at first, it was refreshing to meet someone new my father's age and who enjoys my father's company with a bright sense of humor that we could really relate to! She also was very into talking iphone etc which was fun for me tho I try not to go into it too much since I could go off on a tangent ha ha. Before dinner we all walked along Spindrift Rd laughing at all the huge ostentatious overdone houses and I took a lot of photos with my iPhone trying out the iOS4 zoom feature
Very tiny flower of Mint family
Extremely teeny moth
Another small flower
Dinner was perfect as usual- starting w smoked salmon and brie, red wine, then rack of lamb, sweet potato, broccoli, and finishing with coffee and baklava
Fred picked almond cake
I chose baklava mmm
Too tired for the customary film viewing in the "media room" but the plan is to check out Lady from Shanghai tomorrow since yesterday we watched The Third Man both from the mid 40s both with Orson Welles
Good night!
