The trapped vole I encountered last night had disappeared! Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shredded coconut, toasted slivered almonds, diced half banana; hot water. More tidying and housecleaning all day following the removal of the Logitech Z906 speakers. The landlord arrived today to install a new bathroom light fixture. There was a delay at the start because the fixture was broken upon opening, so they had to exchange it. They were unable to find the exact replacement, so they returned with a different one that turned out to be too long. After we agreed we would wait for the replacement of the proper size, they moved our mailbox from the garage door to our front door. I installed a mounting bracket for the HomePod in the living room. The one I used is from Amazon: Wall Mount Compatible HomePod, ALLICAVER Sturdy Metal Made Mount Stand Holder Compatible HomePod Smart Speaker (Black) and it worked well except that during installation two of the anchors failed to open during screwing, and this was evident because I could pull or wiggle the bracket and it was obviously loose. I resolved this by using different screws I already happened to have. Lunch: I prepared for myself a bagel sandwich with lettuce, red onion, tartar sauce, cheddar cheese, and leftover fried fish. Water to drink. Patrick napped then I joined after a while. Dinner at home with Patrick: I prepared a butter leaf lettuce salad and spinach and ricotta ravioli (from frozen) with alfredo sauce (from a jar). Dessert for Patrick: ice cream. Dessert for me: a piece of Lonohana Kanahiku chocolate. Afterwards we watched various YouTube videos then The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel s5:e3 on Amazon Prime Video. Patrick went to bed.
