Pre-breakfast: spiced hot tea, plain yogurt with leftover fruit salad. Power outage in some parts of the house while Adrian changed some manually switched exterior lights to dusk-to-dawn lights. Breakfast by Mark and Jonathan: popovers with four kinds of jam and apple butter, cheesy scrambled eggs, pineapple pork sausage. Francis, Josh, and Sheening departed. Sunny and 87 degrees. Lounged poolside with Jonathan, Galen, and Mark. Galen gave me a ride home. Dinner at home with Patrick: cacio e pepe ravioli with alfredo sauce, toast, white wine. After dinner we continued drinking wine on the balcony. Galen returned briefly to drop off a rotary sander for me to borrow. We watched The Sandman s2:e4 on Netflix then Big Mouth s2:e1 on Netflix. Dessert: we shared half of a very small apple pie from Whole Foods deli, heated. Patrick went to bed. I caught up on email and fighting spam.
