Yesterday we resolved the fence at least the style and that will go ahead in the early fall. The birds have returned to feed along with the chipmunks and the squirrels. They finish off the food by nightfall and then we fill it again the next day after sunrise. The doors will go on early next week. I must set up 1-800-got-junk and the seven items will be gone by the end of the week if they still have spots. The house will be lighter once again. Just one item coming in but we can organize the front room now to be the review area and go through the rest of Edward's boxes. I need to do scanning for some things and get them up online on the website. I also need to collect up the original images and forward them on to his various cousins so that they are not lost. There are 55 years worth of pictures that he collected and a number of them belonged to his maternal uncle and he had them for a while perhaps since the grandfather passed away not sure on that.
So a day of getting all sorts of things managed. There are still more items that we hope to have completed by the end of the summer but we are making a good start for sure. Downsizing in earnest and soon back to writing the books.
I mostly have put together the Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter. Just a little more writing to do in the discussion and it will be ready and published today. Then I can work on the Blake Newsletter which was due on the 1st of July.
This is generally the hottest month of the year and we will need to keep a check on the watering. I am definitely not a gardener but we do enjoy the produce from the garden so will likely keep doing that. Lawns needs cutting so perhaps today for that.
Breakfast and then Latin and on to the day. Slowly getting back to my normal exercise routine and will keep adding the exercises back in. I do not see any effect on my eyes from doing so; sounds like it is time to move forward with more exercises. I do miss the exercise although did do a lot of walking every day in excess of what I used to do. Nice to be back running and moving back towards my thirty minute run each day.
I must admit I fail to understand why the individuals involved in the U of T encampment feel that they had a right to inconvenience everyone from the time that they set it all up. Now that it is down they do not appear to have learned anything from the experience. Their attitude towards the Jewish people does not have a leg to stand on. The Palestinians received the absolute same treatment as the Jewish people in 1948 and one notes that the Jewish people have thousands of years of history on all of this land and are indigenous to the land (one can not live in Canada and not realize that the indigenous to the land have first rights). If one looks one can see that the Jewish people accepted the UN decision and created a strong viable country; the Palestinians whined and complained through three or more generations, accomplished nothing with the land that they received and elected a terrorist group to be the leader of their "country" continuing throughout these generations to blame Israel and attack them regularly; Jewish school children were being murdered in their school yards by Palestinians when I was a child. The people of Gaza also continue to live off of the hardworking people of the world with 500 United Nations trucks a day going into Gaza to support them. The decision on where each was to live was made by the United Nations in 1948 and it was created to give us peace. I think that it is time for the Palestinians in Canada (and why are they not just Canadians like the rest of us?) to grow up personally. If they see us as being so complicit why do they live here? The world is moving forward and there are other people who actually have suffered and are ignored and would like the opportunities that the Palestinians received in 1948. Make a life for the children of Gaza and stop wasting their lives by attacking Israel. The October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and their adherents was barbaric and totally unacceptable; celebrating it as the Palestinians who live here did illegal and they should be in jail for their hate crime not setting up encampments at our universities and spoiling convocations for many across Canada.
