Another day of quarantine. We solved the Spelling Bee early. She got the first dozen words and I finished the job.
I did some cleaning up in Nora's room, vacuuming the spilled litter and cleaning one of the two boxes, adding fresh litter.
We went for a drive mid-afternoon, heading west on 222 until just short of Kutztown. Work is beginning on the traffic circle near Maxatawny. North to New Smithville, then back on Route 22 to Route 100. We saw flocks of Canada geese and of sheep. Stopped at Walmart for a short list of cat food and bird food, and found exactly 3 cans of the former and none of the latter. BB stayed in the car; a sore leg, and yet another wave of Covid-19 kept her away from the public.
Now it's dark, BB is watching a Tivo'd episode of Morse, and I'm about to go back to reading Le Monde. (I can do that now. Didn't used to be able to.) 2002, subscribed to Champs-Elysees. 2011, trying to read French at the library, and frustration. 2015, streaming Europe 1 on the Altima radio. Now, well-spoken and clearly enunciated French is no mystery anymore, and reading the newspaper beyond stories with U.S. subjects. Haven't found a place to practice speaking, so conversation skills are still weak.
