HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH
I hope everyone has a joyful week.
I saw a female turkey in a tree today, the wild woodland species, not a domesticated bird. She was huge and beautiful!
I found this site a while ago, and I personally find him so helpful,as he gently explains what each excercise will do and says able to easily do at home. www.youtube.com/.../UC2lvPVVm0Mv53QK7vdnC-rw
I found clicking his videos tab, most helpful, not sure I would do the 'POP' quickies CHOL:):)
AQ - I am glad your 2 year check up was good. I have first annual one this month followed by a consultants appointment in December. Fingers are crossed.
Annette - gentle physio sounds to be the way to go. I hope you keep gradually getting better.
I have been birdwatching near Wrexham today in a lovely country park alongside the river Dee. The walk ended up under the famous Pontcysyllte aqueduct. Birds were rather scarce but we did see 3 gorgeous male mandarin ducks and one female plus a nice dipper. We think we saw about 25 species in all but it was hard work.
Doesn't sound like scarce birding to me, Rusty! You had a lovely trip. Thanks for the great picture of the aqueduct, I've only seen it from a distance. Good luck with your check up. My OH was hoping to get on with the tiling after he returned from golf today, but he had words with our neighbour and she asked him who was responsible for the hedge we share between our front gardens. He said that of course, it was our hedge but that we had always left the trimming of it on her side to whoever lived there (she is our 3rd neighbour). She asked him if he would trim it, even though in the past her gardener has done it.
So when I came back from shopping, I found him with the hedge trimmer laboriously going around her shrubs and tidying the hedge. Later, after he'd picked up all the debris, he came back inside looking tired. We decided he would rest instead of ripping more tiles off the wall today.
Of course, we both have mixed feelings about it, now. And I regret agreeing to his doing the tiling, which he didn't want to pay anyone to do when he could do it himself.
Lindybird: Very generous of your OH to trim other side of hedge. Does he want to come here and trim the other side of ours? :-) We've also been talking about upgrading one of the bathrooms in the Arizona house, which will need new tiles.....
OG: Even with Covid, that's a long time not to see daughter. Maybe she's had a chance to rethink her reaction? I mean, what are we supposed to do in those tricky situations? Be rude? No. When my granddaughter took Ms. D to Wisconsin visit her ex-husband and Ms. D's half-sister the other year, some members of his family were in full freeze-out mode with other members of the same family during a birthday party for the sister. At one point, granddaughter took both little girls off to the park and let the adults get on with it. Hope you had a good day out.
Sounds like everyone is busy and/or heading off for a day or two. My OH and I are finishing up marking our ballots for the mid-term elections next Tuesday. I will drop them off at the county election office tomorrow morning when daughter and I go to see her horse participate in riding lessons.. Not feeling very positive given that the mid-terms generally see a shift in parties at some levels; also, the loonies on the other side are a real worry, with the Loony in Chief hinting that he might run for re-election in 2024. Horrors.
Take care everyone.
