Hallo all. Don't fail to check back and see Lindybird's lovely pix of Anglesey.
Rosy: That's a tough one; maybe suggest she not commit to do all the work until the leaves and rubbish are gone and she can see what she's up against..... Good luck.
Wrote my last batch of letters to prospective voters - this time in Kansas. Have been following the headlines, but as usual with this White House, it's impossible to know what's what.a
It's my daughter's 60th today. We tend to celebrate both sides of birthdays, so she's been the recipient of several days of treats, flowers, gifts with more to come (most noticeably the recliner which has yet to arrive). I was really hoping to be there for her birthday but the new windows were scheduled to be installed in the AZ house this coming week so we decided I'd come early for them. But now they've been delayed a week thanks to Covid (we hope that's all!) so I'm now planning to go a week later.
Take care everyone.
Afternoon all: Got updated instructions from bookcase people today that differed from those that came with the package and still don't allow the front casters to rotate fully.. So I threw caution to the wind and made my own adjustment and now have a working bookcase, but I do have to say that Ikea (where I bought a chair last month) does the best job on guiding people through assembly (with no words; just pictures, so no language issues either!).
OG: Sorry you're stressed; hope tomorrow is better. I had a meltdown yesterday over a couple of things, which wasn't helped by the VP debate (more civil than the Trump/Biden fiasco) but still..... Our VP, Mr. P. was described by one commentator as having 'a breathy earnestness while saying nothing." Another likened him to "an unseasoned potato salad," which made me laugh - so true! I do like our VP candidate Kamala Harris - a smart woman.
Lindybird: Can you Facetime with Rosie so she can connect the voice to the face? It's a shame that you guys are having to curtail even 'careful' family visits....
No sun today so a good day to do indoor stuff. I'm hoping to find a good thriller on the TV to while I put my books away. :-)
Finally found time to post my Minsmere photos from yesterday afternoon. If you click on Mr Mallard here, you'll see the rest:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Clare: Gorgeous!!
Hi Rosy!
Unknown said:Stressed! Hope I shall feel like conversation tomorrow! Forgive me.
Sorry you've probably had a bad day, OG. Hugs from here....
No, LINDA & HEATHER, I wasn’t tired after The Visit. I felt quite refreshed.
OG - {{HUGS}} to counter your stress.
ANNETTE – I was out & missed the “unseasoned potato salad” fest; only caught snippets on our evening news.
CLARE – Brilliant pics.
Alas lunch was a disappointment. We chose the cafe for its convenient location. I had been looking forward to a salad roll, one not of my making and with lots different ingredients. That cafe doesn’t have rolls or sandwiches. Only pies or sweet stuff. There was a 90 min limit on car parking so clock watching necessary and we barely had time to offload our winges.
Just a thought
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE. (Joss Whedon)
For everyone, but OG in particular at the moment.
