my 27th attempt at oil painting a rural landscape

The main problem with walking Yuki after 8 is not stepping on a frog in the dark.

Masha regularly receives fairly standard spam from universities. Today, for instance, we received a postcard that really looks like it was handwritten. Not even by a robotic hand or a plotter, but directly with a pen and hand. Interesting, such effort must be worth it.

You never know who you’ll meet while walking with Yuki

Walking my dog tonight. Who we met on the trail

Yuka had been stalking a rabbit in the backyard for a week, and today Yuka was fortunate, though it seems the rabbit was not. The rabbit had the sense (or whatever it has) to climb over the fence from a safe territory full of grass to a closed area with snapping jaws. Maybe it believed that after so many days they were already friends. Likely, in that minute while Yuka entertained the rabbit, it took a significant beating. Eventually, it squeezed into a crack where dogs can’t fit. Tomorrow at dawn, I will go check if it survived and escaped or survived and didn’t escape. Yuka seems to be spending the night in front of the closed backyard door.

UPDATE: This morning we cannot find the rabbit, nor can Yuka. I hope it’s doing well.

The dishwasher decided to cut off a piece of the glass goblet. The top centimeter

And I don’t quite understand, is this some kind of honorary guard at the cemetery, or are they going to wait there for 40 days? Well, as it is known, for up to 40 days after death, the soul undergoes trials and tribulations, and during these days a person has to answer for the sins they committed in life. Maybe it’s just a process happening?

Put in checkmate three seconds before the end. Too bad you can’t see the opponent’s face;-)

Frequent, not always neat blitzes (actually, recently, it’s no longer blitz but rapid chess) have wrecked my rating, but at least it’s honest.
