Introduced the overnight crowd to my yoga routine. Rhonda, Rick, Susie, Glen, Janet, Barb, Dave.
A nice outing before breakfast, breakfast being mostly Barb's fine cinnamon rolls, as much fun to see her making them as it was to eat them, and fruit from Peter.

A spin around the Rhino course. Not raining too much, but plenty wet out. I was getting a little wobbly by the end, but generally a very satisfactory outing. I'll wait to pick up the controls until it gets a little drier.

Out with the dog, who was a good sport about being locked up for a good part of the day and needed some refreshing activity. Being in more or less the same situation, I went with her.
Today we had the garden club, 20-ish or so ladies, and one man, out in the barn making wreaths. This is an activity they have pursued here for about 12 or 13 years, I'd say. They all came in for lunch, which was a bit of a racket. The lunch looked better than it tasted, as far as I am concerned.
Had a very nice visit from those Manchester Road Race champions, who were dropping off controls for me to use Saturday. .
Annual eye exam, which explained some recent observations. Got to the point of looking at the eye chart with glasses on, 3 lines of diminishing size, the usual sort of thing. Look with the left only, can read the middle without difficulty, the bottom with a bit of extra concentration. Look with the right - oops, can't even pick out the top row! Seems I have a cataract, so in a few weeks off to see the ophthalmologist and get it removed. The recent observations: increasing difficulty seeing, both near and at distance. Well, of course! Seems I also have one developing on the left, but it is not yet affecting vision. Will probably have to deal with that, too, ere long.
