Today I did some comics stuff, and worked on my lesson plan for the new week of ethics classes, on the topic of Fishing.
For lunch I took Scully on a big walk to get her some exercise. She didn’t get much yesterday and was a bit restless and cheeky, so today I really wanted to tire her out. We stopped at St Thomas Rest Park where Scully could run around a bit off her lead. I practised some recalls with her, getting her to sit and stay while I walked away, and then calling her to come to me. We also said hello to some other dogs (and their owners).
Then we went to Maggio’s Italian Bakery for lunch. I got a pizza slice and a sour cherry danish, and grabbed a couple of Napoli biscuits for snacks tonight.
Near the bakery is a cafe called The Laneway Cafe. They serve a coffee brand called The Cat’s Pyjamas, and have signs for it on the barriers around their tables. Seen here with Scully:
Now… I’m disturbed by the fact that the cats on the sign are wearing clothes that are not pyjamas.
Yesterday I assembled the Lego Dungeons & Dragons tower with the tavern and the other castle-like bit, and this afternoon I took photos of the whole lot so far.
So this is all stages 1-24 put together. It’s huge! I managed to put it into my display cabinet, where it just fit, thanks to me having moved the shelf a while back specifically to accommodate it. Hopefully it’ll still fit when the dragon is constructed and added.
And finally, I’ve stared noticing signs of spring flowers and foliage already. There are several magnolia trees starting to flower, and even a few azaleas, and I’ve seen new green shoots on some plants too. I’m a bit surprised, as the weather is still really cold. Although we are forecast to get up to a pleasant 23°C on Thursday. So maybe that really is the first sign of spring…
