Nobody is on the streets today. The highways
were crowded the past few days but everyone is where they wanted to go, usually
their parents homes. I would like to take this opportunity to get train tickets
for a day trip to Tainan to the south or Taipei to the north. So long as there’s
a seat and we don’t have to sit on a highway, it should be okay. All the
amusement parks and tourist spots will be swamped with families trying to enjoy
what is their only real holiday; they work or study on other holidays. I just
want to visit restaurants. Leona said we may go to a movie today. That is fine
with me, too.
Valentine’s Day
is Thursday. Leona and I will probably go to the Westside to have Indian food
at Andrew’s.
I fixed up the
balcony in the living room yesterday with plants that we bought a few days ago
when I went to the dentist to get my bottom right implant tightened. The
Taichung night market with the great chow tofu was there and there were plant
stores nearby. Yesterday, I got some soil, a garden trowel and a watering can
and went to work on the narrow two foot wide balcony. I was careful not to drop
anything thirteen floors down. With the sliding-door windows that I washed, the
balcony looks good though we could put more plants up. One-third of the balcony
is taken up with the air-conditioning unit for the living room; however there
were neglected plants before on the top of the unit and the wall behind it so I
used the space for our new plants. We don’t let the cats out on the balcony. I
moved the decorative chain of wood cylinders along the railing edge of the
balcony and removed the rotting wooden floor risers so we have a place to stand
outside.
