That could be rather jolly, PAT ! You could remind me of all the old Methodist hymns, and we could sing them, driving LINDY and her OH out of the cave to look for a plot of land in which to grow veg. , ANNETTE and DIANE would keep our feet on the ground when we start worrying about things. OG could take her place as chief organiser of menus etc depending on what success LINDY and EE have. AQ could read aloud to us until we fall asleep. EE might have to be the hunter gatherer. ROSY is chief medic and HARELADY can be our manager. Not sure what job to give CLARE but she is very adaptable so can fill in for the rest of us at a moment's notice.
I see that I have not given LYNETTE a job and have probably missed out other potential cave dwellers also ! Mea Culpa....
Neeps, tatties, and Australia Day. I'm just not paying enough attention!
Heather: Sorry, but Diane has to be our techy person in that cave (we are taking our electronics, right?) And EE could also add "chef" to his duties, with OG supervising. However, I don't see your duties listed - maybe social coordinator?
Rosy: I spent yesterday researching extensions to our downspouts so expected heavy downpour can be directed away from foundations to trees and shrubs. I got one some years back and while its lightweight, it's a bit cumbersome, not to mention ugly. Will tootle off to hardware store today (sunny) and organize the set up this afternoon.
AQ: Good job to keep that idiot under lock and key until the Fall and who knows, maybe things will be so slow in the courts his stay might last through the next fire season?? I think they should implant electronic chips into some of these people so we know where they are (yes, a bit extreme, but sometimes....) Not so sure about Aristotle - sometimes you can be patient and end up wondering why you bothered. :-)
I had my annual physical yesterday. Stepped on the scale and - amazing and wonderful! - had hardly gained any weight at all. Apart from that, all well but doc suggested Vitamin D supplement, which surprised me given the fact it's California and I'm outside a lot. Turns out we absorb less from the sun as we age, which I knew, but thought that only applied to people in cloudy northern climes.
Meanwhile, Arizona contingent not quite as thrilled this morning now that 2-3 ft of snow is on the ground. Daughter was up during the night cleaning it off the roof of the chicken coop. Granddaughter and assorted kiddies going over to her house this morning to help clear path to various critters.
Off to attack my To-Do list, which has gained some new items....
Take care everyone.
Hope the beans went down OK, OG. Much milder here tonight after several days (weeks?) of chilly temps. We went for a walk into the town this morning, had a short wander around, then picked up some tomatoes and cake on the way back. It rained gently as we were halfway home, and I was so tired, or rather my knees were, that I had to lean on my OH for the final stretch. Poured down as we made a cup of tea once we were safely home!! Heather: A Troglodyte poem is on it's way, but unfinished at present!!!!
