Lynette: I hope your daughter is feeling well. Nope, no jab for me yet. I'm 63, and my state is only vaccinating healthcare workers, first responders, and people over 65.
Lindy: Lovely sloth poem! I loved that kangaroo. Your flowers are lovely. I'm tired of the gray, dark, icy days here. Please send lemon drizzle cake. LOL
AQ: Hope your power outage wasn't too inconvenient. So glad to hear you're feeling normal. I will try to send you some cold air. I have plenty of it here. Snow, too.
Harelady: Oh, dear. I watched that video. That's a lot of snow! I thought snow that deep was rare in England. I'm glad your daughter is okay.
Pat: Looks like you received deep snow, too. Is the polar vortex over the UK?
Annette: My sympathies. I've had freelance projects that refused to end.
We’re back with all mod cons. Since 8 am OH has wandered around, dozed, lunch; he lasted until 1 pm when he switched on his computer, not caring if power went in the middle of something. I had my nanny nap. At 2.25 pm Mr Orange Vest knocked on door to say “power going off”. 15 mins later, our stove clock went “ping” and Mr OV returned to say all was well with our power board and for next 10 years. So much for the plumber (!) who tried to tell us 3 years ago that it should be replaced.
This calls for an extra smile. Last week I found a wallet packed with money down by the church. Did you give it back? Not yet. I’m still trying to decide if it’s a temptation from the devil or the answer to a prayer.
AQ: Glad all is well with your power!
Annette: From CNN. 150 miles east of Los Angeles. Not good.
Bought myself some daffs to cheer us up. I love the smell of them, the fragrance of spring!
Lovely flower pics, LINDY - liked the iris. They do seem to be early. My sis in law in France says that her camellia is in bloom. Nothing showing here yet. It was minus 16 inland yesterday and is minus 5 in my back garden this morning. Get that man of hours to wrap a scarf over his mouth and nose... AQ - as others have said, don't run before you can walk! So good to read though, that you are starting to feel more normal x Daughter messaging me, I'll be back later
Diane: Finally sent my freelance project off to the editor late yesterday - what a relief. Interesting about those missing explosives.- nothing in the LA TImes print edition or on their website, nor on the WaPo or NYT web sites, but I see CNN is still carrying it further down on their main page. I can't imagine the folks at Twenty-Nine Palms will be eager to discuss the topic Not a good time for explosives to be in the wrong hands...
Finally am free from above project to - oh joy - think about cleaning house, getting busy in the garden.
Stay well everyone.
While browsing the LATimes website, came across link to live video of an eagle pair up at Big Bear Lake (in the mountains behind LA) who've apparently lost their first three eggs but have now laid a fourth. Talk about a room with a view! www.youtube.com/watch
ANNETTE - good that you've finished the article! I can identify with the last four weeks of pregnancy... OG - hope all is OK and covid vaccine done and dusted. HARELADY - Some snow! I followed your link and so glad daughter didn't have more trouble x PAT - I chuckled when reading about your Mum's coat... LYNETTE - I've had a recurrence of positional vertigo, started on Sunday. I know that you have it as well. It is the first attack since my OH died and I don't like being on my own in the house when feeling so dizzy. DIANE- I hope that you are under that electric blanket x
