It's been a gloriously sunny day. I went out without a coat, and I was still very hot while I was out... not complaining tho'...

Drove south to the next town to pick up my prescription specs, and I wasn't at all surprised that they all weren't there. The reading glasses, and my sunglasses were there but the specs for using while on the computer were not, so they had to call and chase them up, and apparently they won't arrive now for another week! ..irritating.. but in the great scheme of things it doesn't matter a great deal... MY new sunglasses are a little bit cat's -eye shaped, but they look fine I think..

Got my tyres inflated at the garage while I was over in that town..I was surprised how low they'd got..they were down to 25/26 instead of 35 front / and 32psi..rear..annoyingly no car wash over there nor is there one in my town either.. so I had to drive back and by pass 2 towns including my own, to get to yet another town west of the county for their one and only Jet wash place.. it's beyond belief really, that there's so few places to wash the car. Anyway I got soaked because the slight breeze that there was blowing on me as I jet washed the left side of the car.. :ROFLMAO: my fragrance was now car wash soap..

Went into the department store afterwards ... and Picked up 2 Navy blue faux mink cushions for the spare room bed.. and a super quality white quilted Duvet cover set in the 'everything 50 % off'' sale... as well as 2 small cement plant holders..one grey with a gold band and the other white with a similar god band.. got them for £3 each, they're over £10 online each...

Decided today was house cleaning and cooking day. Vacuumed, and cleaned the bathrooms. The blue velvet couch in the living room was completely covered in dog hair. Took half an hour to clean off the hair, and slobber. She knows she's not supposed to be on there, but when I go upstairs at night, she makes herself at home. She's not allowed upstairs at all, as my OCD requires I have at least one easy to clean area. That training endeavor seems to have finally paid off. Pulled out some camping sheets and a foam pad, and covered the couch. Have to decide whether to just let her on there, or resort to getting a shock collar. Hate to go that route, but I won't have an non obedient dog. Pretty much done cleaning and heading out to grill some chicken and sausage, and make some soup for the next week. Well forgot to post this the other day. Have resolved the dog on the couch issue, by setting mouse traps on the couch. Went up to bed, and was reading when I heard, snap, snap. She has not been on the couch since (no dogs were injured in the making of this film). Credit to a friend of mine for the idea.
 
So much for my Big Plan to put the greenhouse together. It's going to take two people so it won't happen until Friday when DSIL has a day off.

DD and I did get groceries this morning, and the lawn got mowed so I wasn't a complete slug.

Tomorrow it's back to work, which means getting up at 4:30am🥱

I love these. Interesting design for those pots and beautiful plants!! I wish I could grow live plants. I killed every last one of them, even when I thought I was taking good care of them.
 
Again, I slept later than planned today. I watched a little T.V., loaded and ran the dishwasher and played Words With Friends. I spent several hours making lists of what floppy disks each of my songs is on. At the same time I made sure each song is on at least two disks and deleted music that was no longer viable to work with or was on too many disks. I wound up listening to several...some I'd forgotten about. I later decided to play along with some of them because It's been over a decade since I composed/played some of them and I've gotten rusty. It felt good to be back in the (music) zone. I still have a couple more disks to check out. I love myself sometimes. :love: I was looking for something to use when I found the printed sheets I'd done years ago... ready for me to list the songs alphabetically and note which disk each is on.

Yesterday was the nicest day we've had this year, but it's colder and dull today. At least it's dry. The cherry trees that we bought are starting to show signs of life, so it will soon be time to plant them out. I've also got some Jasmine to plant out and I'm on the lookout for an ornamental quince for a splash of colour.

Going down to Aberdeen today. Until a couple of years ago, I could get a bus into the nearest town and then a bus to the city. Then there were cutbacks and then Covid , so now I either drive all the way, or just 8 miles into town where the bus still runs to the city. Being over 60, I get free bus travel within Scotland, so although it's slower, it saves the cost of petrol and parking.

yes we had a beautiful day yesterday, and today it's just as gloriously Sunny, and is expected to be all week. ☀️ ☀️

We too get free bus pass here for over 60's and can be used not just here in the south but all over England. Very handy if I lived in the city, but as I live in the rural shires where buses are limited to a couple a day, not so handy...
 
Today first thing, Have to go out and buy a new mini blind. A neighborhood cat which is not supposed to be out according to the park rules had the audacity to sit on the porch railing and peer into the sunroom.

What a ruckus, I heard growling, hissing and ran into the room to find Riley mano a mano mode in the cat version of Rambo wanting to tear the intruder limb from limb.

Glad the window was shut or I would have been replacing a screen too.

Sure can't have that or there'll be scratches everywhere! 😩
 
I lost my precious cat Max Sunday at 8pm. He died in my arms with his sister Buffy sitting next to us. She sat with him for hours afterwards. My son saw him before and after and yesterday removed him to Vet's office & spent day with us.

Today just adjusting. Will go out shopping later; have scheduled appt. on Zoom w/therapist; going to see Grandson tomorrow, I hope.

Lost a lot of energy. Very dramatic exit. Very sad. Was so proud to have TWO cats.

Oh I'm so sorry Pepper... I know how much you love your cats... 😔
 
Drove to the quays with hubby, it was nice but windy ,when headed to the end, so turned around

we were stuck in traffic going home , as the bridge was stuck open for half an hour …..😡
a 5 mins trip home , ended up 45mins ….grrrrrr 😡
 
Yesterday's shopping trip was horrible. First of all, I haven't been feeling great this week (nothing serious just the same ol' stuff), so I just wanted to get the shopping over with and get home. Well, unfortunately, Wal-Mart had other plans. They are in the process of a major remodeling project....everything was moved around. Clothes were in the middle of the food section, and there was one aisle of food in the middle of the Ladies underwear! The signs up above the aisles had not been updated to reflect what was actually in each aisle, so people were aimlessly wandering around (me included) trying to find things. Oh, and the aisles are narrower now, and it's harder to maneuver around other people's carts. By the time I was done, I was soooo craby! I needed someone to put my down for a nap!

I'm glad that I won't need to go back for several weekend. Hopefully they will be done by then.

Andy has also not been feeling well this week...I don't know what was wrong. He had several changes in behavior, all of which could be explained away. However, I worry when there is more than one behavioral change at a time. I'm happy to say that today he is mostly back to being himself. And that is good because I was missing the old Andy! The final test will be later when I go out to check the fences. If he goes with me for the walk, then I'll know that he is ok.

I don't plan on doing much today, so that I'm feeling ok while at the rink tomorrow.
