HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope you all have survived Storm Eunice with yourselves and your property intact.
Have a wonderful, joyful week!
CC: I'm in Arizona so blessedly too busy to listen/watch anything and I'm actively avoiding the online versions of the NYT and WaPo and even avoiding the BBC web site. I've decided the planet deserves a much better species than humans. And yes, many times I've sat on the couch with my husband with dinner and a glass of wine and feel somewhat voyeuristic watching people suffering in other parts of the world.
Lynette: Good to see you and hope you're spending time looking forward to those trips with your daughter. Hugs to you!
Have long list of things to do today and just got honey on the keyboard..... sigh
Hi to everyone - am reading posts.....
We inherited some papered ceilings, too: one we managed to get rid of, but some are a pain, as now and then you can see the joins! They must have been put on to hide other imperfections. I've had a muddled, frustrating day - my OH left before 9.00am and our neighbour said he had to see someone about a bad shoulder, but it turned out that he needed x rays and other tests, plus a couple of consultations. They eventually returned here just before 3.00pm. By which time I had run several scenarios through my head, and was wondering why my OH had not messaged me at all, seeing as they were so long. My OH was weary and hungry - they had had endless waiting, and not had a drink or anything to eat. He sat down to a cheese sandwich here at 3.30. He asked me if I had received his text message - No!! It arrived about an hour after he got home, so I've no idea what went on with it.
Several things we were going to do had to be shelved for another day. I had to content myself with cleaning the oven, which didn't get done yesterday. Boo.
This morn I delivered perishables & library books to Dau & Co’s front door. All were standing in window (Dau in tears). MissL has recovered (only mild symptoms for 2 days). Her exclusion time has expired and she can return to school. But how?, when rest of family (still negative & without symptoms) have to quarantine until mid-week. Too far for her to walk. Too far for me to help twice a day. And friends already have cars full of kids; no cramming as we once did (safety & individual car seats rightly required).
On way home I photo-ed a few buildings but it was too hot in the sun (about noon), so left more for another day. From my local library I collected my “holds” plus a few other books. I had already found 2 for me at Dau’s library despite it being very small and adult non-fiction rather sparse. To Dau &Trio’s “holds”, I added another 8 books for them to share; I hope they haven’t read too many already. I avoided cat & dog stories LOL. OH has gone for his (almost) daily walk. I must transfer cottage pie & veg from fridge to stove. Oops, he’s back.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Procrastinators unite! Tomorrow!
My 1st actual size daffodils are out! Sheltering in the front garden. We get excited, here in the UK, AQ, as we have so little colour in our long horrible winters. Today is bright but still only about 8 degrees. Roll on Spring....
Heather, glad the ceiling is sorted. Sounds as if you have a treasure of a decorator there. ... Sorry about your Welsh friend, hope she's not too ill.
