Trying to find if, OK, I can't say it, but if NBSP is kosher under XHTML. So tired. Need a rest.

Light work @ Y. Staples: reporters' notebooks. Stopped by garden. Appt. with Payne. Shopped (see below). Lunch @ HH: rice/veg stuffed squash, awful. BPL: read Adele, awful too.

Shopped Shawmut Avenue: Formaggio, The Syrian Grocery, Wholy Grain. Lingered long in Syrian Grocery, getting to know and trying to figure out their stock. Which is wide, world-wide, a strange mix, not simply Syrian.

Added and formatted first installment of Olmsted article.

Trimmed a bucket full of zebra grass from small garden and turned it into bed A3 (last year's carrots, just in front of the ferns). Really lofted the soil. Also added last of compost from rear composter. Mined a wheelbarrow full of compost from community pile and added to A1. 40's, quite pleasant, sun and clouds.

Swore it would be a day off, and it sort of was. Lounged in the sunroom soaking up rays, meditating, ie. spacing out, thinking no particular thoughts.

Lunch at Haley House: brisket of beef, roasted potatoes, salad, rolls, gingerbread (didn't have). Everything perfectly done. Cooked by Kathleen O'Connor (who's also the H.H. Board Treasurer), her husband and their volunteer group. A great meal. Offered to work with her group.

Worked on Roofscape design and programming in the morning. Added and formatted Orion text, wrote and formatted Credits. New Journalentry, as daily.

To garden. Mid-50', sunny. Chopped up prunings from yesterday to pave sunroom patio. Pulled a huge clump of ground ivy. Sat in the sun. Exhausted. A big week.
