@holly ,,,I am jealous of your weather!

Think this morning. temp was in the 20s.
Took the dog out,, A North wind? was blowing.

This afternoon is cloudy & still Windy,,brrr

Hubby has been sorting through things he has saved from odd jobs.
He was surprised at the things he found.

We use old filing cabinets for odds older tax, bill papers.
Sorted through them & bought papers out from the file cabinet in the house.

Weather makes me think that March in NWPA ,, came in like a Lion!
 

I am currently on Day 5 of facedown lying after eye surgery.The macular hole repair I had in September did not hold so had to have a more extensive procedure that requires 5 days facedown rather than the 3 last time.

It`s not been a good year so far. Lost my BIL suddenly and unexpectedly on Jan.15 to an embolism. Had cataract surgery the next day,then off to California to be with my sister.Back to Idaho after a week for my regular immunotherapy infusion and a second cataract surgery,then back to California for BIL`s Celebration of Life.

Oh,forgot.Two days before we left,I rolled my ankle in the snow and turned out it`s fractured. So I am in a boot. Fun.

Day after I broke it,our 6 yo great granddaughter bounced out of a trampoline and landed on her head on patio tiles. Traumatic brain injury.Was hospitalized for a week. She is home now and they are seeing daily improvement so I am thankful for that.

I think that`s about it! My time is up.Back to facedown.....

That is a lot. I'm so sorry.
 
Been up since 1:30 am. My feet hurt! Feel like standing on two blocks of ice to get swelling down! Did so much walking, almost running, playing hard yesterday, and walked so much Friday. Feet hurt, but legs feel great!

I'm all out of whack so I woke up. Will rest Sunday, today, all day.
 
Lovely bright day today and later we are meeting some friends at the pub but, I am not sure it is warm enough to sit outside but, we will see.

Atm I am waiting for a friend who had a hairdressing appointment yesterday but her hairdresser had an emergency and had to cancel so, my friend is on her way over and I will do her roots for her so she is root free for her trip tomorrow. :)

Have a great day everyone (y)
 
It's racing towards 11am..it's an absolutely glorious Sunny morning again..🌞🌞🌞 but its freezing. I woke up this morning to a sheet of ice covering all the cars....

Oh my gosh! You have really had some bad times. I hope your eye recovers soon. I'm sure the other stresses you've been facing are not helping.💐 🙏
 
Quiet time with ☕ before Familiar Dinner Day. Well, it's really Family Lunch. We always called it Sunday Dinner growing up even though it was lunch. Likely because it was typically a big meal.
Have a nice day everyone! 🌅
we were the same . Gowing up it was always Sunday dinner rather than lunch

In fact in Scotland and Ireland the mid-day meal is Dinner, and the evening meal is supper... usually..

I've been in England over 50 years now, so I'm used to calling it lunch , and dinner now
 
One of the things I miss is going to the pub for a pint and the occasional lunch. Like many places, most of the pubs round here have closed and I'd have to travel a fair bit to find an open one. Fortunately, there is a collection of craft breweries that offer a mail order service, so I can always enjoy a real beer in my own house or garden. My favourites are 'Old Jock' or 'Hopo 6.2 IPA'. Mrs L prefers 'Highland Jock' or 'Ten story malt bomb'.

Growing up, for us too, midday meal was dinner and the evening meal was 'Tea'. I suspect it was when Mrs .L and I were both working, we had lunch midday and our main meal ie. Dinner, together in the evening.

yes that's all well and good... my husband would always sit and drink in the garden or even in the house... but you miss the atmosphere, and the banter in the pub.. so we always went to the pub at least once a week on our day off ...despite the fact I don't drink alcohol

Altho' we've lost a significant amount of pubs here.. we still have one village country pub almost on the doorstep.. but its been turned into a high dining eperience rather than a local hostelry... same with the next village where theres only one pub left out of 3... however there are as still several pubs in the nearby market town... different types to suit diferent people fortunately..

I did not go outside for my usual early morning walk it was too cold 10
My close friend, Marcia is picking me up at 10am to go to church
After she drops me off, having brunch at noon with 3 other church members who live here
I always talk with my brother, JOhn every Sun afternoon,instead we talked yesterday. He&his wife,Suzanne ,fly out this afternoon for a 3 1/2 week trip to New Zealand with their best friends. He did send me & our sister their iternary so I know where they will be each day
The rest of my day,read local newspaper,if its warmer by this afternoon I may go out for a short walk
 
It's sooo warm in my garden with the sun beating down altho' only 51 deg...I've just spent 2 hours outside tidying up the garden from the effects of all the rain and storm winds we had last week... I'm furious that my neighbour continues to feed the squirrels despite me asking her not to... because they've run along my fence and broken the trellises, and so I'm going to have to pay for 2 new panels, and trellises..

I also cleared down the front porch.. cleaned up the downpipe drains.... and made sure the whole 4 sides of the barn is clear so as to let the handyman easy access when he's here to fix the roof..

I need to go out and take a wire brush to the downpipes before I can paint them. Its 1.45pm, I'm just having a cuppa tea.. I may do it this afternoon, I'll see how I feel...
 
Good Morning, Everyone.

It's going to be cool here today, but nowhere near the cold we were enduring a couple of weeks ago, so you know, not so bad.

Yesterday, I went on two dog walks and had a nice, long walk with my son. It was so windy though! We were nearly blown off our feet a few times.

Today, I will go on the usual walks, hang out with family, do the usual household things, do some crafting, watch The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, listen to an audio book, (The Journey of Souls), and hopefully, get on my treadmill or do some weight lifting.

Gods, I'm boring myself! LOL I feel like I should be studying cold fusion or something.
