Sunny today but only 50F. Did my workout this morning. Might ride my bike down to a shop to pick up some wine to bring to our friends' house for dinner Weds. I will have to bundle up though, although it's not windy. It's 10 miles roundtrip. Husband already did his bike ride today - around the block. Ha! It's 22 miles around our block!

Going to be sunny and in the mid-50s here today. Sitting at the dining room table deciding what to do with my day. Will probably work for a few hours and might go take some photos. Will probably hit the gym.

A beautiful 62 degrees for my early walk today. Going to insurance agency to change over my insurance to my new car. Then back to dealers to finalize a couple of things.
Have a couple of new mysteries in my Kindle library to check out. Love sitting under the carport in my swinging lawn chair and reading. Hummm..maybe a small glass of wine too.

Our weather is similar in Ohio Maggiemae. I hope you will get that much needed rain. Artificial grass is attractive, too, yes.
How did the lecture go? That's great you are physically active!
I've never heard of Goodreads.
I always enjoy the photos you take Bob!
You inspire me to take a nice walk today too! How do you like the new car so far? That swinging lawn chair sounds so relaxing!
Ruthanne, Goodreads.com is HUGE! Lots of book reviews, and you can find out about new books, or join groups where they discuss the type of books you like - thrillers, etc. You will automatically get suggestions on books based on books you've entered into your book log. Very easy. You can friend people on there.
I've been on it for many years. It's linked to your Facebook if you use it, but not mandatory. I saw it on FB when my sis in law who 'eats' books shared it there.

Thank you so much for the recommendation on that site Annie! Sounds like an awesome site!

Love the new ride, Ruthanne. It handles so nice. It isn't very often that the humidity is low in Florida, but when it is, it's great.
It's so nice when you first get a car and you can appreciate it so much! Sounds like a good ride! I didn't know you often had high humidity in FL. We often do in Ohio, too. Ours is lower now too and I too am glad. The high humidity can zap us of energy.

It's a overcast day here with no forecast of rain however. I am going to get a pedicure in a moment because I have Peripheral Neuropathy in both feet and don't want to amputate my toes. Last time I tried it myself I cut two toes pretty bad.

It was (state) pension day today and I wish they would pay it monthly instead of 4 weekly as it confuses me. Off we went and after two hours shopping, half of it had gone... The wife said I was getting slow in my old age - it normally didn't last that long

It doesn't help The PN at all, but since I have no feeling in my toe's it keeps me from cutting my self.
Yes, the state does things that confuse us for sure! Did you get anything when you went shopping?It was (state) pension day today and I wish they would pay it monthly instead of 4 weekly as it confuses me.

What is the PN from? Diabetes? That sounds like a very serious condition.
Did you ever feel misunderstood? Well, that's how I felt with a friend of mine today. It was really getting to me so I called her and talked to her and afterwards I felt even worse! So, I wrote her an email tonight because I felt confused at what we talked about. I don't feel confused anymore and hope she understands I was having a hard time with a situation. At the end I told her I was done with the subject which I am. I just really wanted to be understood.

I mark the pension in my google calendar. I'm fine with every 4 weeks (on a Weds) as that means 13 payments a year instead of 12. Ruthanne: Capt means our UK pension like SS. Our pension days are on the 3rd, 4rd, every 4 weeks, 20th, and last day of month for another. I love retirement!
Cloudy now but I think it's to clear up. Working out this morning as usual. I don't really miss the gym being closed for refurbishment at all as there is a lot of I can at home.
I'm resisting the urge to get my suitcase out of the loft as we don't leave until Nov 29th, but have tossed tons of stuff to pack on the bed in a spare room.

I believe our SS comes each month on the day of our birthday, I think, but my wife handles all that.
Another cool morning for a walk. Haven't been yet, as it's a bit early. One of those nights I couldn't sleep, so was up very early this am.
Having high BP problems again. For no reason I'll have a time where it spikes very high, and then it goes back to normal. Have dr. appointment Friday so will discuss this with him. Maybe a change of meds needed.

Overseas SS payments are on the same day regardless of birthday - I get mine on the 4th but for some reason hubby gets his on the 3rd (no he never worked in the US but still gets it as a spouse). I get a small US university pension the last day of each month. And then we both get UK pensions and hubby a work pension.
Hope you get your BP under control, Pappy.
I admire that you work out every day. That is a goal of mine. You sure are not a procrastinator about your packing! I know it feels good to be ahead of everything instead of behind.
I hope you can get your bp down again. It is nice here too this morning for a walk.
I've stepped up the workouts in preparation for our trip. Normally I work out 3 days a week. Will join a small gym in Thailand like I did the last two winters and will go MWF, and then we'll also bike ride and walk a lot.
Last minute packing makes me stressed. We left a lot of stuff in storage in Thailand where we rent our house, so packing will be easier. I know what I can buy in Thailand when I run out, and what I need to bring with me. Non perfumed toiletries is a biggie for me as I'm allergic, and I found that dry eye drops cost more in Thailand than here, so will bring lots of that. An issue this trip is that we are taking a different airline (British Airways) and the baggage allowance is less than the other one (Emirates).

A beautiful Autumn morning here so I had a stroll round the village before starting to prepare the green tomatoes for making chutney. The last of the barley has been harvested and the straw bales lifted. I took this photo in the field behind my house.
Sorry not much colour as the trees are mainly evergreens.
