I got lots done outside: gave more mint away and cleaned up behind it; moved rocks out front to re-delineate edges; weeded around the lilac saplings; planted more veg seedlings and replaced them with the rest of the tomato seedlings to harden off from prop; removed some random tree saplings from where they didn’t belong; and weeded.

Later, Avdi and I finally got to make up for lost “rain” dates (of course it was literally raining this time), and went out to try some new places in Tower Grove.  First we went to “The Headless Bat”, an eclectic cozy pizzeria and bar, where we had excellent hand-crafted drinks and pizza slices.  Totally recommend.

Then we found “The Gin Room”, a veritable museum of every kind of gin there is from floor to ceiling, and wonderful hand-crafted cocktails.  We just gazed and sipped in wonder.  Next to us was a lovely lady embroidering, whom we enjoyed talking to.  Also totally recommend this place.  I believe we made up for lost time(s)!  I hope it helped cheer Avdi up a little from his doldrums.
