Friday already, folks! It is raining again, never had a year with so much rain, it's just incredible. One good thing; it's all green around us, we have to cut branches and rake leaves and so on, much more too.
Next weekend it's my BD and I asked/ordered a new interior door to the living room. They are making it now with 4 frosted glass windows horizontally and will spray the door anthracite black. All our interior doors are greyish white, kind of boring as we have all smooth doors, but since the closed door from the landing (our living room is 2nd floor) makes the landing very dark, this will give much more light in the landing, but at the same time, you can not look through the glass. A very nice design door handle will make it perfect. I will mount the door, the lock and the handle myself. If they make the door exactly as ordered, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Today the Heritor, which is a hommage of the Zodiac Seawolf 53, just wider (44 versus 40) and a SII movement instead of a Swiss one.

My little cottage only has doors to the two bedrooms and the bathroom. They never get used, except the bathroom if I have guests. Whoever painted the house painted the doors with white ceiling paint or green wall paint. Fixing that was on my list of tasks before I became unable to move properly. I'm letting the folks who buy this house when I'm gone do the painting.
That's a good looking watch! I'm wearing my Orient Mako USA today. The first version, still with the cal. 469 and the screw-down click button. Upgraded with a sapphire crystal, solid end links, new hands and indices, and a 120 click bezel with bigger numbers. It's a pretty perfect watch.

Been getting a lot of rain here in KS too. We needed it. Nice Heritor. CT Scuderia Racer today for me. Red white and blue! I had a lake in my backyard and my garage flooded when Beryl came through here. The garage only gets an inch or two on the floor, because the floor settled weird and slants towards the back.

Happy upcoming reminder of getting older Johan! Maratac for this maniac tonight. Nice Maratac and that's a fact Jack! I now wish I had the smaller one. Does it have the Miyota 9XXX in it?
Once again, let me point out that there's only one alternative to getting older, and we should all celebrate avoiding that for another year.
