It is hanging in there. I'm not babying the hip and yesterday's dog walking hit a wall. I was going up a small incline on uneven terrain walking a dog when my hip started hurting so bad I had to stop. After a while (with the dog patiently waiting for me) it got better. Half an hour later the same thing happened. So I stopped walking the long way and started just doing short walks with the dogs. Got through my quota and bailed. By the time I got home I was fine. And it hurts a bit now and then and I have to assist getting into the car a bit but pain scale is 2 vs the 10 it was. And the standard is it may take another couple of days to be fully working. I'm signed up for next Wednesday's pickleball. That will be interesting.
Today was gate fixing at the dog Ranch. They upgraded the fencing from chicken wire to cattle panel a couple of weeks ago and screwed up the gate I'd worked on so hard last year. I managed to fix it again with not too much trouble but any more of such and I need to be replacing wood that is rotting. I might do that anyway. It is my little carpentry project.
Meanwhile we went to see the second half of Dune and it was predictably huge. Visually and sonically it was washing through the theater. We did not opt for IMAX but I think that might have been too much. The plot is a bit weak in places, a bit slow here, a bit too much there. I know the plot so well that doesn't matter to me. Dana, who also loved it, is a bit lost. But we'll see it at home when it starts streaming.
An absolutely impossible book to bring to screen was done and is beautiful. Shogun and Dune in the same week.
I'm listening to a middling Stephen King, Revival, that needs to get on its horse pretty quickly or I'm moving on.
I finished 1984 Julia and it made it to the finish with a solid plot and great ideas intact. I could hear "Won't get fooled again" by some other English act playing in the background. What a fun read.
Otherwise, we're doing spring here. My butler is having a hard time figuring out what clothes to put out for me. It was barely 40 when I got up and is now 75 and sunny. A beautiful day. I declared the end of winter and put the water hoses back out. We can't water due to impending drought but I got tired of seeing the hoses in the garage.
