Self is watching Versailles Season 2. She is so happy the series was renewed! It has proved extremely addictive.
The Guardian: With ladies in milky baths, ocular torture and piles of flesh, Versailles returns for more pre-revolution rumbustiousness (Shouldn’t that be rambunctiousness? Whatever). But is there depth beneath the bling?
Where were we then in Versailles, which returns for a second series? The palace is still under construction, and 1,000 workers have died so far. Versailles was clearly the Qatar of its day, and those gold gates are very Gulf State chic, no?
The writer is Sam Wollaston.
Self bows to your wicked wit, Sir. She bows.
From her visit to Versailles, May 2017:
Versailles, 28 May 2017: It was too bloody hot.

It was another beautiful day in Mendocino. One thing about being here, there is always something self can take a picture of.
Right now, it is spring. So there’s an unbelievable amount of action going on, even in the vacant lots, and even if it’s just grass.
Hodder Field, One Block from the Mendocino Art Center
Self’s attention was caught by the swaying grass in Hodder Field.
And there are many, many spring concerts abounding, such as this one advertised on a poster tacked up to a fence on Ukiah Street:
Spring is a great time to be outdoors and just soaking up the sights in Mendocino.
Her friends are telling her to come back for the Mendocino Music Festival (July) but all accommodations are booked solid.
Never mind. She’s just happy to be here in April.
Other PROLIFIC:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

It is spring. Self had a sudden hankering for shiitake mushrooms. So she walked to Corners of the Mouth Market on Ukiah. The vacant lots she passed were dotted with little white and yellow flowers, a whole profusion of them. She wouldn’t have stopped to take pictures if she hadn’t been thinking of this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge: PROLIFIC.
Kids lying on their backs, stretched out on the soft grass. School’s out, AYAYAYAYAY, such a beautiful afternoon.
She peeked over a fence and saw a shelf filled with whimsical ceramic objects.
Also PROLIFIC:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

It rained most of the afternoon. Towards 5 p.m., self took a big umbrella and her camera and walked around the Mendocino Art Center, taking pictures in the front garden. Colors are so vibrant in the rain! It was tough juggling the umbrella and the camera, but she managed to get a few decent shots.
Other Awakenings:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

The weather gods are smiling on Mendocino because the weather is just beautiful up here. So spectacularly gorgeous. And to think she worried about cold etc etc etc
Anyhoo, self’s favorite parking spot was not taken, she couldn’t believe her incredible luck. She sailed her 98 Altima into the space like, you know, she owned it.
SMILE SMILE SMILE
Also, she decided to treat herself to a cup of Mendosa’s clam chowder, MORE REASONS TO SMILE:
Harvest at Mendosa’s, a Mendocino mainstay on Lansing Street
On the way up (the trip took her five hours, including two stops to keep awake and five pull-overs on 128 to let faster vehicles pass and one ten-minute wait due to roadwork), she stopped by Big John’s Market in Healdsburg. A group was selling cookies for a dollar. Women got the 100% cookies, and men got the 80% cookies, good way to make the point that women should get EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. It’s really troubling that, in this day and age, women still get only 80% of what men get, simply because of their gender.
Outside Big John’s Market Today
The cookies were dee-lish! Put a big smile on self’s face, for sure!

Such a gorgeous day! Sun is shining, everything’s beautiful.
Went to the Palo Alto Farmers Market. Smiles everywhere. The dimsum at this market is just heavenly:
Sunday, 8 April 2018: Haven’t been to the Palo Alto Farmers Market in at least a year. It was a great day for it.
Bought a hanging basket of pink ivy geraniums from this vendor:
You can see the basket of pink geraniums in the center of the picture below:
She hung the basket on the porch, soon as she got home.
