November 2019... Share YOUR day...

I have always been busy since the day I was born. LOL. This morning I did my 8 songs on my guitar. Pick 4 & strum the other 4. I sing along with all of them. This morning it was "Roses Are Red, My Love" and "Ruby Ann". When I finish with the computer I will read as I do each morning. Then for a walk after breakfast. After that, jump in our car & off to get rid of more stuff at the charity shop, buy groceries & stop over at one of our libraries. Never boring! I think I am one "lucky ducky".
 

Well it's only mid-day. I've done nothing much, suffering a little bit.

Sun is shining, although quite cold at 43 deg. Been out in the garden tidying up here and there.. Hubs has taken my car for it's annual MOT, and doing a few chores while it's being done..

Like you @Packerjohn , I have another few bags that needs dropping off at the Charity shop... gotta wait until I can get there but I dropped several off last week.., I do like to get as much to the Charity shops as possible before Christmas so those who are in need can get the chance of some nice things for the festive season.
 
Off to a funeral today. My neighbour's father died after contracting pneumonia. He was 85 so not a bad innings. The funeral service was at a crematorium (not so common here) and was conducted in a very dignified way. Little religion (a couple of upbeat hymns) and a humourous celebration of his life.

When I go, I don't want any gloom and black clothes. I want everyone to wear something bright and jolly. I don't want a dirge - I want a singsong.
 
All the funerals I've ever been to have been conducted in a Crematorium.. sorry to hear about your neighbour's dad, 85 isn't so old these days.


Yesterday I forgot to mention that after my car had it's Annual MOT test I was told I needed 3 new tyres.. sheesh.. they're really on their last legs too, and I never even realised...and it's given me the shivers to think of the speeds I've been driving on the motorways not realizing my tyres were dodgy.. :oops: So the garage has had to send off for them as they don't sell Tyres there.. they should be here tomorrow so I can't drive my car until the new tyres are on...

Mixed feelings today. My left eye due for cataract surgery at one pm.
On the positive side, my oldest son, Dave Jr. and his wife will be here tonight for a five day visit. I haven’t seen them since our 50th wedding anniversary, 12 years ago. Tomorrow, my daughter and youngest son will be here too. The whole family together since our anniversary. Getting excited to see them all.
 
cleaned bedroom windows -plus the shutters-- did some washing and drying all boring stuff --
had lunch - watered plants indoors - de flead the small female cat - has u see just a every day situation ….:(
 
Further to yesterday's post, the weather was very strange. There had been a hard overnight frost and the sky was very clear. As you drive west from where we live, you come to a point where you can see across the Moray firth towards the very north of Scotland.
This is about 60 miles away and quite often you can faintly see the mountains in the distance. Yesterday, you could make out every detail and see the snow on some of the mountain tops. It was so perfectly clear it looked as if it was only a few miles away.

It's much warmer today, but a bit windy.

Good luck with the surgery, @Pappy. Since you'll be wearing a patch again, will you only be able to see half of your family ? :giggle: 😘

Today is "one of those days". I decided to make two doctor appointments, two dental appointments and pay some bills.

I can't get through to the dentist's office; just "leave a message and we'll call you back".

I've called both doctors' offices. One isn't in til noon, the other one is "leave a message and we'll call you back".

The bank's website seems to be malfunctioning. All I want to do is pay my charge cards.

I tried calling my dental insurance to ask a question. "Due to high call volume, we are...….". In other words, call back some other time......

I have accomplished nothing so far today. I need a nap to fortify myself before not accomplishing anything else.
 
Cool and overcast today. Spent much of the morning helping to make steak pies which are now in the freezer. Somehow the filling didn't make as many pies as we had planned, so tomorrow we'll make some mutton pies. I also made a liver and bacon casserole for tonight's dinner.

I managed to get a little bit of joinery done and hopefully I'll find some time for a bit more tomorrow.

We only have mutton pies because our friends have a flock of pedigree Ryeland sheep and every year some of the sheep are culled. Depending on how things go, we get lamb, hogget or mutton. We have to butcher it ourselves, but we're getting pretty proficient at it.
We also help with the traditional breed pigs, and we recently butchered a Black Berkshire which is in one of our freezers.

I hope things pan out OK for your father. My sister was a director of nursing in a hospital and when my father was a patient, she would say things like, "he's as well as can be expected" and I would say "Beth, you're talking about our father, not giving a press release".

Cataract surgery went well. Just had bandages removed and a little blurry but that will go away. Can’t believe I won’t need glasses after wearing them 72 years. Need some help for reading up close thought.

Excellent news Pappy.. !! I bet you can't believe how well you can see now without the specs except for the reading

I think you mean Charry's Father, ...I'm so sorry to hear about your dad Charry. :(
 
Finally got a few things done I've been putting off. Gave the dog a good bath and put the plastic up on the front window. (y);) Hopefully I won't worry as badly about the birds catching a draft. Still got to put up a big blanket over the plastic covering the AC. Found some nail tacks that will probably hold the blanket down well. I also have a few big blankets I can put over the birds should the temperature dip really low this Winter. I am thoroughly tired of living in this climate where it's either way too cold or way too hot! :confused:
 
I took a short afternoon walk,3 blocks to local shoe store,looking for winter boots
I didn't find any in my size 11,no surprise.Instead I tried on pair of men's size 9 1/2 which did fit,price was reasonable.I have bought men's boots in the past at other stores
