I had a bit of a sleep in this morning – I think I must have needed a bit of a catch up. I didn’t feel particularly active so didn’t do very much today, except for a long walk with my wife and Scully.
The quarterly Coal Loader Artisans Markets were on, and it’s a bit of a hike but within walking distance from us.
As we arrived, there was an oil tanker being guided into port by tugboats, which was kind of interesting.
As you can see it was a grey day, and it sprinkled lightly for a bit, but not so much that we really got wet. It was also very cold. My wife had gone out earlier with Scully and told me it was warm and sunny and I wouldn’t need a jumper. So I went to the market with just a jacket over my shirt, but the clouds rolled in and a cold wind as well, and I felt chilly the whole time.
This afternoon I relaxed and spent some time compiling historical dates for a project of a friend of mine: Bisecting History. For example, this one from earlier this month:
May the 4th has passed, but today marks an even more momentous milestone. Episode 1, launching the prequel trilogy, is now closer in time to the original Star Wars film than it is to today. Each span exactly 8026 days. @starwars pic.twitter.com/r20ZY2aIGo
