Let’s move on...

[John G.]

Two!

[John G.]

So I took a few days off from my daily walk because of the terrible air quality -- and I gained a pound. Four miles per day is what I have to do to maintain my overweightedness.

Let’s not go there. Haven’t had a walk in a week

When I stay home vs walking I tend to eat more.

[Jane]

Though eating continues to be a challenge and makes me sick I am still managing to keep on more weight than I like to have.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep.  Guess I'll go hope for the best, line-wise, at the nearby branch - if it's bad I'll head over to Studio City, my branch, which reopened a few weeks ago.

LOL!

[elmore3003]

I had a lie down with Stella and Annabelle, which was nice.  It's too humid and warm today to do much else.

[bk]

Back from banking - wasn't too bad today at the local branch - shorter line and in and out in twenty minutes.

[George]

Finding Rover, one of the three pet rescue sites where I've registered the cats' microchip numbers, wanted a new photo of Annabelle this morning, so I cropped one of DR ChasSmith's photos and updated all three sites.

Nice picture, Larry and ChasSmith!

[George]

And so the other two do not accuse me of favoritism, here are the others.

As are these!

[George]

Tonight/tomorrow on the MET Opera stream is Peter Grimes, which I have never seen, only listened to.

I hope they get around to showing Marnie. I also hope they didn't run it earlier and I missed it. Too bad it wasn't included in "20th Century and Beyond" week.

Next week is "French Week".

On YouTube, there are (were?) two or three other versions of Peter Grimes that were streamed by opera companies due to the quarantining.  I was able to capture a couple of them.

[John G.]

Nice kitties.

[John G.]

I think I need to make pie for the derby.

[John G.]

Derby pie.

[Jane]

We won't aim for a year between visits to the dermatologist again.  Eight months was long enough.  The doctor has put us back on a six month schedule.  Mostly we just got sprayed, 14 times for Keith & 16 times for me.  I had two things removed but have no concerns about the biopsy report.  Now anything removed gets checked even if it is obviously benign. 

[Jane]

Derby pie.

I don't know that I would like Derby pie.  I am surprised, unless there is another version I didn't see, that it doesn't include Kentucky whisky.

I'd go with this one: Britten conducting his opera with Peter Pears recreating his original role of Grimes.

Picked up a package and shall now order food.  Wished there was more Dragon Tattoo to watch - maybe I'll peruse the extras, or maybe I'll run the American version to remind myself how bad it was or maybe I'll watch the shorter version of the original film.

There’s the really bad version of book 4.

It doesn’t have to have bourbon in it.

[Jane]

But sometimes it does?  I only saw a recipe without.  Oops, I left out the important word "bourbon"

It generally does have bourbon. Otherwise, it’s essentially a chocolate-pecan pie. Nothing wrong with that. Just not very Kentuckian.

[George]

And speaking of operas, Glyndebourne just posted their 2011 production of Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg.  It'll be available until 5:00pm (but which time zone??) on Sunday 6 September.

Here's a kitty for TCB. He looks a little like Thatch. With short hair.

Odd, the recipes I saw said walnuts and chocolate.  I think I found the wrong Derby pie.  Your description is what I had expected to find.

Awww.  DR TCB do you need a cat that will be ok with your wheelchair?

Kentucky is not a walnut state, even though they grow here. People here favor pecans because they’re sweeter.
