April 18, Sunday, most items put away and sorted, so a break….. first using of the gym! Well equipped but not well oiled. QB thinks not the quality level of Equinox.

Hot tub, waterworks in the apartment. Good tub, very slippery, no overflow valve. Hard to use this much water :-). Leg felt much better afterwards. Needs a rubber mat on bottom to get purchase; too hard to get out.

Tuesday: M &G arrive. Great to see them,

4/22 Thursday: incredible wind. Howling up in the apartment. Could barely put the chairs on the balcony. According to April this wind is abnormal, Generally windy around the tower but not like this.

Sunday 25th. First gathering of the Newport pod. Well, the pod plus Ellen and Evan (nephews of George), who are leaving the area tomorrow. Nine in total today, will be nine when Marcia and Bruce return from Florida. Dinner at Stoneacre brasserie in Newport. Handsome place designed by Dan. Sadly, food mediocre and not hot. Good setting and the only place that would take nine on rather short notice.

Sara and Lee came over for the yard sale. Took much of the left over decorator items. We will offer the balance to the staff here.
