Pandemic Journal, Day 441

Apparently the Repels-All has helped with the critter situation in our raised beds – there was no new damage today.

This evening, we saw “A Brilliant Mind” from Marin Theatre Company. The play was mostly filmed in advance, but there was a live actor being seamlessly brought in for certain segments (monologues) via YouTube, and there was a little bit of interaction between the audience and that actor. We couldn’t stick around for the talkback, unfortunately – it would have been interesting to find out how they put it all together.

The play itself was a story of a Palestinian immigrant family coping with the death of their father – there were generational conflicts, issues of gender, and what happens when your family “doesn’t fit”. I enjoyed it – it’s playing through June 13th.

The critters munched two more of our tomato plants overnight, though they left a few leaves this time. I sprayed Repels-All around all of the plants in the beds and on the wood, and I hope it works.

We got our first real dose of summer weather today; we stayed inside most of the day and worked. We’d put aside a lot of newspapers, magazines, and other papers for “later” and Diane dealt with many of them. I got most of my 2021 photos into Lightroom and pruned, geotagged, and labeled them up through April 22. Which means that the next time I attack the photos, I’ll have to make decisions about the many pictures I took in Joshua Tree National Park on April 23.
