Wednesday April 7 Day 36
One of the more interesting aspects of living here in Landour is the fluctuation in the voltage of the electrical supply. At 4:45 am this morning there bulbs were very bright and the florescent tube went on readily. My 7:30 am there was not enough voltage to keep the florescent tube glowing. The fluctuation is caused by the number of lights burning on the hillside at any particular time. By 9 pm there is hardly enough electricity to keep one standard bulb glowing let alone burning. Therefore reading as the evvening goes on becomes more and more difficult. The one type of bulb that gives enough light to read by is one of the new energy efficient bulbs. The only problem is that the last 3 nights the room that has these bulbs was not available to me because of guests sleeping in that room. Everyone is gone now and I am here alone. Therefore I shall be able to read this evening (I hope).
After reading the last paragraph, you may wonder why I was up at 4:45 in the morning. My mind works all the time and if I have a problem (or a perceived problem) I wake up early and worry the thing. This morning I decided to get up and see if I had a problem. I have been concerned whether my 2 video camera are exactly the same in the quality of pictures they record. This problem popped into my mind and I got up and checked it out. Both cameras are the same and I can now quit worrying about that.
Todays shooting went well and I got some good shots of Ridgewood in the morning when the sun is on the front of the building. I have shot so much lately that I am behind in my logging. I must catch up and keep up every day.
This past week my blood sugars have jumped around a bit. I had high levels on Monday morning. That is the day after my “day of rest” and I had done no walking at all. My body had not consumed enough of the sugars that my food produced on Sunday. Today the levels were a little bit low and I walked a great deal yesterday. There is a direct casual reletionship between exercise and sugar levels.
Hi Leon. This is my third try to write to you today. I couldn't remember my Google access stuff. If you didn't need to try so many different words while setting it up, it would be easier. It might help to write it down, too. It is so simple to remember at the time.
ReplyDeleteSeveral people from our group are following your blog. The group is small now. That is a good thing. People are getting better and moving on with their lives. Gaylen is going to China next week.
I am just getting back to my normal activities nearly 5 months after my total knee replacement. I still do my physical therapy exercises 3 times a day, or more. I am back to the gym. My knee still tightens up when I sit, stand or walk. Each week it looser.
Keep up the good work. I am impressed with the way you have delt with a lot of problems. It will make you a "stronger person". Do you believe that crap? Have a good week and I look forward to your next blog. Burnie
