What are you doing today?

I managed to go to the store and get more greens for Rabbit and a couple other things. Then checked my mail and put my name on the list for the potluck tomorrow night. I am bringing cheese and crackers because I can't cook something this time. If Sonny can find a decent watermelon he said he will bring one. Right now i am waiting for my laundry, 2 loads washing right now. Then I will hang them in the shower and get my feet up.
 

My lawn needs mowing. Constant intermittent rain have kept me from doing my duty. The sun is out today, but it's so warm and humid, I fear the grass will not dry off enough added to the fact that mowing in hot, humid conditions is torture for me. I don't like to mow wet grass anyway, it clogs the mower and leaves clumps on the lawn. I looked at the lawn when I got back from the dentist (had a filling this morning) and there was still beads of water on the leaves.

Good idea not to mow wet grass...Debs... hope your filling didn't hurt.. Dentist yesterday only gave hubs a temp filling, said it would be wasting his money to keep the tooth, so he's got yet another appt somewhere in the distant galaxy to have it taken out...

It'll be the first tooth he's ever had removed .. good thing it's one at the back... (y)

@hollydolly
One would think that the time it takes to fill a tooth would be around the same as it would take to extract a tooth.

Yes I said that too.. but I was told that due to C-19.. they have to prepare the clinic for a 45 minute procedure.. rather than a 20 min one.. with different types of PPE..! This from the dentist receptionist.. can you believe it ? :rolleyes:

Actually, I can. Our dentist remains extremely cautious. The waiting room is your car - you phone upon arrival and they tell you when you may enter the building and then their office. From there you must immediately wash your hands, answer Covid-related questions, and have your temperature taken.

You get escorted to the treatment room. Dentist and assistant are masked, gloved and wearing face shields.

When finished you exit the office through a different doorway, so you don't retrace any steps.

Everyone is masked through this entire process, patients included until they're in the chair.
They sanitize everything before working on the next patient.

All this despite California's significantly loosened C-19 restrictions.

@Keesha You’ve found perfection in your new location. I remember looking at your home while you were considering purchasing it. It looked like it was designed for entertaining.

Jules! You are right! This house, the area we live in and the friends we are meeting are perfect for us. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy other people’s company until we started getting invited out and remembered. It’s a LOT of fun.👍

Today we went out and purchased this dining room set because it’s so simple but classy and matches our floor really well. We found an extra piece of hardwood floor and took it with us just to be sure.

Then we bought a table cloth and a few other things for entertaining. I’m so glad my husband talked me out of selling my good china. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever have a need for a full set again but I do. Yayyy. I’m so giddy right now. Then again, I ate some gummies. 😂

It’s been 32 years seen we bought a new dining room table and this was 30% off. It’s solid wood throughout with comfy seat cushions.

That’s my style too. Right away I looked at the photo to see the seats. I’d never have wooden seats again. It’s from DH and we’re stuck with it until it wears out, which mean never.
 
I got lucky today....I had an old Crown break off from a root canal, last night at Supper. I called my dentist this morning, and he fitted me in early this afternoon. Luckily, I didn't swallow the crown, and he was able to install a longer pin into it, and drill deeper into the old root for a better fit.
This dentist is the best I've ever had. He closes on Wednesdays to teach at a nearby university. Even though he is usually quite busy, he always seems to find time for an unscheduled visit...even works through his lunch hour if necessary.
 
Made my first salat (Fajr prayer) of the day before sunrise. I ironed a bit, added a review update to my website and have been catching up with social networking on and off all day both here and on FB. plus checking out another site. I took the garbage and recyclables to our dumpster area and walked to the supermarket to pick up a few things this morning before it got too hot. I also took care of some financial stuff online. Sitting at this computer for most of the day has made me lazy, so besides cleaning up my kitchen, nothing else will get done in here tonight.

Thanks. We used to have bare wooden seats before too. Never again. I made sure these were ultra comfy. My bum is with it. Lol.56772065-4205-41BB-9114-121141084748.jpeg


We got it set up and it does match with the wood in our house. The table cloth I got matches the big lighthouse picture but is a bit big. I think I’d prefer table mats.

Anyway I took a picture without the table cloth and one with.

@Keesha, it’s perfect. If you have an extra board for the table, you’ll need the long cloth.

Thanks Jules. 🥰
That’s ‘with’ the extra piece in the middle.
We meant to measure the table before we left but forgot and by the time we remembered, they were boxing it up for us to take home.

I figure it’s about 39 or 40 by 78”. The tablecloth length is 120” but I only paid $14 for it from winners. Besides which I can shorten it. It does match nicely. Yayyy.

Very hot here today, and especially in our back garden which is protected from the wind by hedges and mature trees, it's really hot ... .I've been out gardening with hubs today.. he's been reducing all the hedging to a more manageable level so we don't have to cut it quite so often...


It's so hot I got myself a Dark chocolate peppermint Ice lolly.. to cool down while he's had a beer.....and come in a little while ago to the front of the house and take in the breeze through the window next to me..

I don't have a pool here but the kids next door are playing in their pool,..I think I might have to stand under the hosepipe spray later once we've watered the lawns

Gotta go out shortly and drop hubs off at the car place...
