Myle charming this morning. Let me try half a cup of
soup she'd made from a mixture she bought in Hong
Kong. A kind of melange of ingredients, including
squid. This evening, on the way to the library,
stopped and talked to Ady at 7-Eleven. Went to Capers
again to see if the Ethiopian girl was working. Had a
short, lovely little chat, & agreed to get together
during her break on Thursday to take photos

Finished the Halsey biography, while waiting for Yajing
on the terrace at the market. She loved the portrait,
showing it around to everyone who worked there. Lovely
cool evening, the fireworks blasting away through the
branches of the trees
