Wet now, getting Wetter and then later, White

Welcome to the first Wednesday of 2024 and hope you are enjoying your New Year still. I should Wetsday though because it is pouring, and its going to pour some more for the next 5 days and then after all of that wetting, we are forecasted for snow for a few days as well. Here it was holidays for two days, so everything was closed, except for the supermarket and a few market stalls. To be honest, we were just happy to be outdoors and enjoying some sunshine. There is a little gap in the rain this afternoon, so market for this afternoon. Washing was done yesterday already, so we are almost ready to hunker down and sit out the wet. I fear hiking might turn into diving at some point I've made a decision this year to read some more. My own fault for letting things get to me last year, if I read 20 pages the first 6 months of 2023, it was a lot. Also, no more wasting time looking for decent movies. Good movies are so few and far between now, I'm better off reading at night anyway. Got a few books I'll get my eyes into. Lunch today will be something quick, probably buckwheat, potato and marrow soup and some cheese skillet breads. Winter is going to start biting into availability of fresh produce soon and tinned and dry goods do not feature so much here. It will be an interesting experience, hope we do not end up with just pumpkin though I'm going to revive a long lost interest in classical music and opera, the more so as we are in a town with an actual opera and ballet theatre. Tosca was performed at that theatre in the early part of last year so hopefully, if they have some performances this year, we will be able to go, and the language won't be a barrier either. But first I want to let Majnoon and Eylül Ergül's magical oriental improv transport me to far lands, fitting because my first book tonight will be my long ago purchased copy of 1001 Arabian Nights. I only see now, today is the Festival of Sleep Day. Apparently I'm in a celebratory mood if I like taking a nap round about now. Well, before I nod off, have a wonderfully sleepy Wednesday and take a nap when you feel like it
