My days have become as full as before COVID shut down the world. Taking walks, socializing, writing, taking part in nurses' training programs, tunnel flying, etc. I don't often have the time to do a bigger new adventure, so my Somethings New have been the kind I can fit into my schedule.
For example, I take a long walk from the train to the medical complex where I do the nurses' trainings, so every time I choose a different path there and back. I'm often rewarded by coming across an unexpected piece of civic art, or seeing a house with a bright red door or marvelous garden, or stopping to talk to someone with a nice dog. (It's always so easy to start a conversation with someone who has a dog. Why isn't it easy with the dogless?) I have also discovered a lot of new little cafés and restaurants this way. I almost always take myself to lunch before the trainings, which are emotionally very draining, so I've been trying different places to eat. My reward for that is having some really good meals from places I would never have discovered without taking these walks.
Last Sunday Sweet Hubby and I had planned to go to a specialty museum, one of the many mentioned in a special full-section focus on local museums in the previous Sunday's newspaper. However, we woke up to a layer of snow and decided to stay in. I do want to go to this museum, though, which is only open on Sundays for visitors. A friend of mine who is actively involved in this museum years ago asked me to record some of the informative narration explaining the exhibits. I'd like to hear that, because I don't really know what I sound like. I think visiting some of the boutique and specialty museums listed in the paper sounds like so much fun, and may comprise my Somethings New in the future on those days when I have the time to go out exploring.
