How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Good afternoon all... another glorious sunny day today.... 🌞 🌞 🌞 🌞

I've been in the garden and it's very warm....


This morning I also spent time on the phone with my Broadband provider.. trying to get a definitve price for my TV/BB/Phone package...

Every month they're billing me a different price... so hopefully we've come to an agreed settlement.. and I will be getting a much lower price for the package.. of only Β£41 per month... yesterday they took Β£60... last month they too Β£96... but hopefully going forward for the next 24 months the whole package is now going to be siginificantly lower.. because I've reduced the tv channels package to the essentials package only..which is fine by me, I don't need 1000 TV channels.. but otherwise my Broadband and phone remain the same..

Good morning. Today is grandson day! It's raining, it will be a rainy day. So I hardly go anywhere, and when I do, it rains. I'll stop complaining now, and look forward to a few hours with my favorite boy. Can only wish/hope that the evil AccessARide doesn't cause grief. Yesterday, my therapist called AAR Nazis, and that sounds like an adequate description. Put on my big girl pants and oh, who am I kidding. It's love day and angst day. Please wish me luck..........
 
Not getting much sleep each night since the operation 13 days ago. Maybe 5 hours average versus 7 or 8 before. Mind is just way too active and keeping inconsistent hours due to healing focus and myriad computer activities. No chance at this point my mesh area will get infected. Can get up from a prone position easily now unlike just a few days ago doing so carefully slowly. Weight is really low now at 132# (lost 6#) due to soft food diet recovering. That has now officially ended.

Completed totally removing equipment from, vacuuming, cleaning, then rebuilding about an 8 by 9 foot zone in the back corner of my living room where an old very dusty desktop and computer desk was. Even cleaned two large cobwebby windows with blinds there. Where my new desktop will be set up. Love seeing it all clean.

Online Amazon bought a special 4k graphics monitor I mentioned on our what buy thread.
Drove my vehicle for the first time in 13 days to a supermarket restocking groceries.

After being stuck at home for so long, have a growing desire to on a forecast calm morning, grab my a6700 camera gear and drive down to our Pacific Coast then hike up one of the small lush green stream canyons. At this late spring time, beautiful clarkia species bloom. Most of lower elevation California has gone to seed, is dry and browning. But right along our immediate Pacific Coast where fog is common and cool marine air flows in, green vegetation lingers longer. But conservatively, that will need to wait another week.
That week will be over in no time.
 
I'm planning on trying to get my Mom's car in today, to at least get the window fixed. No rain today, so it would be a good time to go. I have to see if they have an opening this morning. If we go, we will have to wait at the restaurant across the street, for 2-3 hours, until it's done. I'm not looking forward to that, but it is what it is.

Have a WONDERFUL day! πŸ’•
 
I've just been working on the borders in the garden. Since my gardener put the new fences in, the plant pots were moved across the other side of the garden, so they needed moving back, and also the bird bath which weighs a ton...

... but first of all I weeded the border then used the hand trimmer to cut the grass spouring along the edges... Then it got too hot, and I started to come in and DD rang, and she was able to explain to me the meaning of certain aspects of the new BB package...

I've got a cuppa tea, and a Krispy kreme equivelent, then I'll be going back out to finish the border..shouldn't take too long..
 
That's me done out there working in the border.. My back is hurting, so I've learned to stop and not push it otherwise I'll pay for it tomorrow. It's past 3.30pm that side of the garden is in the shade now, and the wind is getting up. Still hot and sunny but the wind is pretty strong.

Got myself a Can of Ice cold Pineapple Soda..... and now I'll have a few minuttes rest and then sort some internet business out....

I started setting up for this weekend's garage sale. Just setting up the tables and putting tablecloths on them took 2 hours. I have a pounding headache for my trouble, but now I can set out the merchandise at my leisure. I have 2 more days to do it. Weather forecast is not good for Friday and Saturday. :mad:
Can you not sell on a different day ?
 
Just got a delivery of some items I need for the car.. expecting another delivery shortly of arechargeable USB lamp...

I didn't realise how late it was and I made a sandwich for my ''lunch'' about an hour ago ..it's only now I'm looking at the time and seeing that it's racing towards 6pm... so I've missed dinner...I might have something later.. :D
