Still chilly and windy. I was feeling more than a little tired today because I didn’t sleep all that great last night. So, I napped and spent a couple of hours reading on my lanai. I pretended that I was on the cruise ship. Except, I am guessing that my room is a little larger than the average ship cabin. Plus no danger of mal de mer. A perfectly satisfactory day.
This morning at breakfast Billy mentioned that according to the New York Post the average (American?) adult is bored 131 days a year. PEOPLE, that is 1/3 of your life. Billy and I decided that we were going to have to ramp up our boredom levels. Neither of us had anywhere near enough bored days to be average.
Went for a little walk about after dinner last night – stopped to enjoy sunset.
