Friday, February 23/2024


 Down to the Blue Song in the afternoon. Meet up with last week’s lot plus four or five more. Beverly explains that a number of them are members of an amateur dramatic club and they’re making plans for a production they’ll be putting on six weeks from now. Some discussion re a woman whose car had been crushed by the huge supermarket sign that came down in the storm at the end of last month. Apparently she’d just got out of the car. The unlucky part is that her automobile insurance says it’s the supermarket’s insurance that should pay up, while they say it isn’t as it’s an act of God. Seems likely to be settled in court eventually. Meanwhile the woman is without a vehicle - but alive.


Sun going down behind the mountains makes sunset earlier than it would be with an unobstructed view, but the days are getting longer. Sky still rosy until nearly six now. Twilight always noticeably shorter here than at home because of the lower latitude - the path of the sun is at a higher angle.
