Quiet park

I went out because I was tired of staying home,  but it rained.  I wonder if it's good for me to be in this world.
There are few people in the park where the parking lot is closed.

Noisy bird

Flowers are blooming, but I don't feel happy because of the invisible threat. A round-shaped bulbul comes in the yard to eat camellia flowers. Noisy.

Mattress Protector

Waterproof Mattress Cover Twin XL 38X80Inch (at Aliexpress :$10.76)
My mattress size is 97/195/28 (cm),  it is fit. 



reverse side



The fabric is water-repellent, covering a large area of the mattress.  The sides are so thin you can see through to the other side.  I found a stain that looked like coffee, so I washed it off for the first time in months.
There's no discernible stains on the mattress, so it served its purpose.

Rain clouds

Overlapping clouds hide the sun and cover the sky for 3 days. High humidity makes me feel down.
