We celebrated John\u2019s birthday this week – happy birthday! It was pretty low-key although we did treat ourselves to pizza. We also celebrated the 250th birthday of the Marines at a fancy do at the Marriott Friday night. It was fun to get dressed up and out of the house a bit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise the week was routine. I got back into my walking every morning, followed by yoga on You Tube, and I worked on some stressful insurance\/Medicare paperwork (hopefully moving toward resolution!). I read Oliver Sacks\u2019 \u201cThe Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat,\u201d which was fascinating and finished <\/p>\n\n\n\n
John and I binged on the latest season of \u201cThe Diplomat,\u201d plus we got up to date on \u201cSlow Horses\u201d and \u201cDown Cemetery Road.\u201d Last night we binged on an excellent Nordic crime show, \u201cThe Asset\u201d – lots of good tv right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rainy season is starting to return to Guyana and the rains are breathtaking when they come. It rained so hard a few nights ago that water came in under the kitchen door. It will rain like crazy for 10 minutes, then stop abruptly and turn to sunshine. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen or heard such heavy rain! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We continue to enjoy the birdwatching around the house! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
