It was a potluck. I brought an avocado tomatillo salsa. Five other people brought guacamole. Lots of avocado. Lots of leftovers for me. Oh, well. It'll taste great tomorrow.

There were several door prizes and I managed to win one. It included a bunch of barbecue tools, including an instant meat thermometer, as well as a $25 gift card for the grocery.

I'm now at home, all too late, and watching the last 40 minutes or so of Christopher Robin.

In all the traffic I faced today, I managed to listen to the first quarter of Jack London's Martin Eden, which I'm enjoying thoroughly. It's semi-autobiographical, so there's a lot that rings true, in its way, from the biography I just finished.

Rehearsal is done.  I'll take about fifteen minutes and then start writing - about six or seven pages to do, but it's all dialogue so I'm hoping I can get through it in ninety minutes and really have some relaxing time.

Loved the credits of Christopher Robin, with Richard Sherman singing two songs, more than I enjoyed the movie.

Went back to the Forty Guns disc to watch some of the extras. I'm now watching an interview with Sam Fuller's widow and daughter. Fun stuff. Their view of Fuller is very different from film critics'.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Our last stop on the tour was the big market with lots of little shops. We were held hostage in side by side shops until we purchased a few items ;D

Lately we have been doing better on our posting, but the last few days evenings, it has been like pulling teeth.

My condolences to the family of the vixter’s friend.  How truly dreadful.

Not warm, by any means, but certainly sunny.

A little over fifteen pages today - that's a good day's writing, presuming I like it tomorrow.
