Afternoon my dear friends... really dull day here, it rained this morning, but now it's grey and cloudy.

I've been clearing out my closet of clothing which I've kept in the hope of fitting into them, but I'm never going to be that skinny again, so they have to go... not sure whether to sell them..some are very new.. or just donate the whole lot.. .

would any fit the daughter? I hate to get rid of nice things but then again I do not have a lot of clothes. I just keep hanging on to things of various sizes, weight goes up and down. (lord knows none of them are small sizes) Don't go out much but if I do, I have things to choose from.

well yes there is that to it as well. I pretty much have everything anyone could want ..like you.. including bags shoes and outerwear, but in truth, it's wayyyy too much, and I really have to be honest with myself that some of the styles are now beginning to look a little young for me too..

The things I have seen you post are classic, not at all too young for you!!
 
Today……NO outside time today……back in the deep freeze, -25c still, not supposed to warm up much today…..but…..tomorrow is supposed to be 0c.
Inside stuff today.
As I assumed…..have been called upon today…..oldest grandson’s birthday today…..asked for supper.
Haven’t seen him since end of last November.
Haven’t seen the rest of them other than 2 minutes in the grocery store since December 28, when I took over the Christmas gifts…..and only a couple very brief messages…….oh right……she says her communication skills aren’t very good. 🤔🤨😏😒. Forgot, silly me…..they only live 10 blocks away…..I know, along ways away
I call them granchildren, for the fact, don’t know how else to refer them as.

I may do a couple of errands this morning…..see if the mood strikes me.
 
@hollydolly Whaddaya mean some of the styles are a little young for you? If I can have blue hair and tattoos at 82, you can have "young" clothes at your age...as long as you don't come off as looking like a hat-check girl ;)

Good morning, boys and girls. I slept so wie ein Baby last night because, as we all know, I am pure and innocent:rolleyes:

Those peeps on TV who tell us all about the weather lied again. They said rain all day. Pffft. Overcast but no rain until much later, like suppertime later. Geez. I swear that in my next life I'm coming back as a meteorologist so I can be wrong most of the time and get paid big bucks.

It could be that today I trim all the dead stuff off the camellia and the gardenias that froze in December.

It could also be that I have a discussion with the squirrels about raiding the bird feeder. A serious discussion. Darned rodents:mad:

Or...it could be that I sit around on my dead center and just think about trimming those shrubs and giving the squirrels a tongue lashing.

@Georgiagranny, my white camellia bush (have had it for 20+ years) is looking very scraggly with dead branches (mainly on the outside) and doesn't appear to be putting out new leaves. With all your gardening knowledge, may I PM you to discuss what I should do? Thanks
 
@CinnamonSugar I truly wouldn't have the remotest notion! I'm wondering what's going to happen with mine and was just going to check with Mr. Google, gardener extraordinaire, to see what he has to say on the subject.

The outside foliage is what was frozen; inside looks fine, though. It might be that I get a real skinny camellia when I'm done!

OK, GG, thanks... I'll get Google Gardening on the horn just as soon as I get off hold with Social Security (argh)
 
Right Now said:
Another morning to smile about. I'm keeping my clothes from 8 years ago when I was still working as they all fit! I do weed out whatever I am tired of, or replacing with a newer style.

As for Will Trent, I really do enjoy this new series. Quirky for sure, but it's put together differently. Now, @OneEyedDiva , when I'm watching I'll know you are, too!

I plan to rewatch the episodes. And yay...just checked Wiki and they added two more episodes to the listing. I really hope there will be 10 at least. Do you watch The Rookie? That's one of my shows.

Yes, I watch the Rookie, but I love Rookie: Feds! I didn't think I would get hooked on the new series, but she just cracks me up! A heart of gold but believes in herself!

I have some scrapping and painting to do on my front porch. I am not fond of painting, especially when I am on a ladder and working overhead.

I almost always underestimate how long it is going to take me to do a repair job; and then every once in a while, it goes the other way. It only took me about 25 min to scrape off the old paint and sand the surface for the new paint. The first coat is already drying, and in another hour, I will put on a second coat. I don't know if a third will be required, but I may put it on anyway.

Ou weather will be crappy tomorrow so if I can wrap this up in one day, I will be very happy.

Do you have consignment shops? You get part of the money, the buyer gets a good deal and you have none of the work. If things don’t sell, they are donated to charity.

Coffee and scones didn't help. I might as well settle in for the rest of the day and do nothing.

Predicting storms and possibly a tornado tonight. Fine.

I'll be round in half an hour, Hols, I'll give you a shout when I enter your drive. 😊
 
So. Now the sun is out. I can't win.

DD brought me some chicken tortilla soup. And some potato soup. And some broccoli/cheese soup. That'll last me a couple of days.

ETA: Spoke too soon. Sun's gone.

ETA: Wait. It's back. Let's call in the yo-yo sun.
