Hallo all. Re dishwashers, we just fill it up and run it whenever that happens. Re gifts, my OH was fretting again that my hedge trimmer wasn't much of a 'gift' even though I wanted it. I got it organized today, charged the battery and it's all ready to go. Meanwhile, he's thrilled with the four-slice toaster, which seems to the job in record time.
AQ: Re a previous 'thought,' what bothers me is that I eat light and healthy between New Year and Christmas but then undo it all just between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Went for a walk this morning and all kinds of bits were jiggling along behind.
Heather: I'm sure your gift from daughter wasn't mere wrinkle cream but a very exotic and expensive moisturizer. :-) Maybe buy her a book on how to stay in shape as you age? Just kidding.
Lindybird: A too-small hat and ice-defrosting spray for the car? And no flowers either. :-( By the way, what made you decide on that lovely painting of the sailboats rather than one of the two you'd previously mentioned? I love the winter-time photos. I always liked walking in winter when I lived there - it's quiet and sort of contemplative time of year.
Diane: Is it your computer or just online access? We've been repeatedly bumped offline at certain times each day recently; the techy folks said it was simply that too many people were zooming, etc. Do hope it's a comparatively easy fix.
OG: Oh geez. No flowers for you either - and no houseplant - what does it take I ask! Personalized signs on the motorways, as in "Don't forget the flowers for your wife"? That raspberry pavlova must've been wonderful - and chocolate cake too. I've put on weight just reading about it.
A lovely sunset here tonight, with a storm working its way down the coast. Grandson and partner are coming down tomorrow for lunch. I told him we had leftovers, etc., but he insists on bringing everything and will do all the work, 'so you don't have to do anything and can relax with a glass of wine." What a sweetie he's turned into. I'm very lucky.
Have a good Sunday all.
The snowman my OH made this morning, before the little ones next door were up and about. A real carrot nose!
Little Rosie, not impressed with having a cold bottom!!
Morning all:
Lindybird. Like little Rosie, I too am not impressed with cold bottoms. How sweet of your OH to make the snowman.
Heather: Yes, indeed, you did read BBQ and it was on the patio. It's mild enough here - or was yesterday, but last night a massive storm moved in and the rain was torrential for about an hour before becoming more sporadic. This morning we had a few minutes of fierce hail that bounced all over the patio; now it's just raining steadily. We're all thrilled and hope it's a harbinger of more to come, although there's a La Nina (dry) rather than an El Nino (very wet) weather pattern over the Pacific this year.
OG: Grandson's partner is taking down everything but the tree today and I have to say that the cards at our house are beginning to look untidy, toppling about, etc. .
AQ; What is CBD? We are very lucky here in that we have lots of open space and can at least get out and figures in our county aren't terrible (but bad enough).
Off to find stuff to do on this rainy day. No Tai Chi on the Y's patio I fear.
EDIT: Oh by the way Lindybird; Costco has a sale on an extendable Rooftop Snow Removal Tool. Maybe something your OH could buy to go with your windshield ice remover? :-))
