Animal of the day:
Polar bear. Ursus Maritimus. Isbjørn. Nanook. Ours blanc. It has many names, names only classify, they speak nothing of personal talents; for example these furry white creatures are excellent swimmers, carnivorous and solitary, they are stealth hunters, polygynous by nature, insulated with layers and layers of underfur.
That’s me today, the furry arctic queen and snow is my domain.
I’m gonna channel my inner polar bear self because; pending snow storm aside, I have a meeting to attend, laundry to do, alterations to pick up, butternut squash lasagna to make, and website to do, which also means I will be doing the Brooklyn-Manhattan-Brooklyn trip for the umpteenth time.
Oh and because I have laundry to do which I’ve put off to the absolute very last minute I have nothing but a short skirt, sweater, and thick woolly tights to wear, this explains reasons for nursing a persistent 3 week cough…short skirts in winter certainly doesn’t help recovery.
As promised, exterior shutters. Energy efficient. Operable and no-fuss. Just a really effective, aesthetically pleasing, reasonably cheap way to control and maximize daylight and wind conditions.
Now to resume my reading of the IPCC Report- Summary for Policy makers; all gloriously dry 22 pages!!! Historic preservation and global climate change is the topic of the day, but why oh why must I read this report???
