One of those mornings

Do you ever have one of those mornings where you think that you did not finish your espresso and go over to the cup only to find it drained? Now that I think about it, it was a good espresso, too. Time for another.

Cobwebs bigtime this fine, sunny morning. I was experimenting with various adhesives for tile and cement last night, and, well, you know how it goes when you are absorbed in a project...you look up and it is suddenly 2 am.

Anyway, I think I found a good combination, but will have to test it with the pressure hose today, which is good news for Amalia, since playing with water on warm days can only mean getting good and wet. Yippeeee!

If you are wondering what I am doing with tile and cement, the answer is "mosaic." Beyond that, I will remain silent. Not so much because I am being hush-hush, but because I am not sure where this thing will go.

It has to do with an homage to Rodia and Gaudi, and sculpture. So far the plan is for four mosaic-covered pillars and a ferro-cement and mosaic covered bench and a variety of plantings. But it depends on the site, and the sun, and all that, so when I get to actually put it in, well, who knows? It might be a winged teapot.

But I think I have a good outdoor mosaic adhesive. We'll see.

Meanwhile, it is time for another doppio espresso, and subito!

Later tonight I might write about California, I might write about Diebenkorn, I might write about bedwetting liberals, it all depends on my mood.
