really a lot of blather with some digression

so the weekend winds down

 soon

 i will be feeding the cats

 harry begins his whining cry 

earlier and earlier

 each evening

 saturday
when we took jack to the vet for his yearly exam

 i asked

 if he'd ever done any vocal chord removals

 he hadn't

 he also said he doubted i really meant it 

ummmm

 i love my long weekends

 i wish i could have them all year 'round

 i am sad summer is coming to a close 

at least on the calendar 

i know the weather wont be unsummery

 for another month or more

 which

 will make

 the

 lack

 of

 fridaycations

 all the sadder

 however 

after the cats are fed 

i will be indulging in some sushi

sunday
 after beautifying

i

 bought another bottle
of the delightful
gouleyant

 a french malbec

 did you know
 malbec grapes originated in france

 they did

 apparently some sort of rot affected the vineyards

 and

 some french growers 

moved to argentina

 where the climate and hilly region

 was perfect for the grapes

 i learned this from the very nice wine shop salesperson 

i like knowing things like this

 not only do they fill a blog

 but

 they serve as clever repartee 

should

 i ever be invited

 to 

dinner 

somewhere 

sometime

 getting back to my point

 what was it

ah yes

 after
i beautified

 before
 i went to the wine shop

 i went to planet sushi

 ordered

 take out for dinner

 i am looking forward to it

 and

 to watching some catch up
of
 pre recorded television

 last nite

 we watched 

case histories

 re-run on bbca

 case histories 

is

 a

 book

 by

 kate atkinson

 who i adore

 the made for bbc series 

was quite faithful to the book

 with

 one exception

 and

 one modification

 edinburgh in all its glory was exchanged for cambridge

 and

 louise showed up in a full book before she was due

 i am not upset or disappointed by either

 if you've not read
case histories 

you should

 also
read

 started early took my dog

 when will there be good news

 all 3 feature jackson brodie

 played in the tv series

 by the extremely excellent jason isaacs

 he starred in the short-lived 2011 cbs tv series awake

 doing an amazingly good american accent
(if you have time warner, you no longer have cbs but that a whole other post)

moving right along 

i also ran

 into

 those wonderful dogs

 steve mcqueen and ali macgraw

 remember them?

 ali was ill 

but she's better now

 looking quite fit

 as did their person

 whose name 

i keep forgetting to ask 

this weekend
we also went for a walk
in
riverside park

 took
 the big camera

 here's

 a shot 

since

 you sat through all that blather

not signed i really want harry to shut up and i really want my sushi
