Here is the take:

Three full bags of aluminum cans. A triangle lawn chair in good condition. A lawn chair that needs a little fixing.

2 lbs of cheese...a full can of vodka/pineapple...a golf ball....a pound of fruit. The food will feed the chickens and goats.
 
Today I went shopping for a few little bits, had to have some links taken out of a watch, and only needed a couple of small things from the supermarket..good thing, because the shelves were empty....here we go again..!

Brexit, Shortage of truck drivers, hold ups at the French borders for imported goods and now a shortage of Carbon Dioxide which is preventing pre-wrapped food from reaching the stores... so EMPTY shelves.....and on top of that our Gas & Electricity supplier has just gone bust due to the huge and sudden increase in Gas & Leccy prices... so talk about racing towards a winter of discontent ...again!! 😣

OMG!! good thing you checked before you set out tho', at least you know what's ahead of you and you can get there on time
 
Back from city. My throat affected as always plus eyes feel weird from first numbing agent so they could check pressure (right eye was a little high lasr time but back to normal now), then the dilating agent so he could see how the implants are doing.(7 years post surgery) But he said everything good. Unless i something comes up, am set till next year.
 
Crappy start of the day with a migraine. Took son to motorcycle training but he fell twice and had too many problems handling the bike. Instructor suggested private one on one and then take the course again. Guess it was too hot for him too as he just threw up. Sigh... I did go out and vote with hubby so tonight is relaxing with tv and tea.
 
Had a lovely 5 days off in my hometown, having fun with grandgirls, visiting with my adult kids, having supper with a long-time friend I haven’t had a chance to visit with since pre-covid, shopped for clothes and found some fun autumn outfits, and just generally loafed around. Spent some quality time with my Prince Among Men 🥰

Last Thursday, 9/16, we were without cell phone service for around 5 hours here in Northern New Mexico. (AT & T phones never work up here in this area.) our internet was out from 9am Thursday to sometime between 2 and 6a.m. Friday (Still out when DD went to bed but working when i got up--still slow at that time but working.

In process of trying to find out what happened i stumbled across a site that keeps track of ongoing outages (and updates regularly) around the globe. At any given time there are outages somewhere. Most minor, over small areas, and of short duration. But last Thursday we had most of two counties out for hours, and it seemed that many of those around globe were longer and more extensive geographically those days.

i'm still trying to figure out the details on the site. But just noticed (by clicking on the 'help' option at bottom) that they are based on some kind of AI probes that detect when signals 'drop', so not dependant on after the fact user reports.

I've bookmarked that @feywon, thanks for that , I just clicked on it, and it zooms right in to the exact area or street.... (y)

So far today I've been trying to get myself back onto my laptop.. It's Microsoft rather than the MAC desktop which I use daily, but I've forgotten the password to my laptop , and it won't let me in unless I reinstall windows .. I've tried looking on you tube and everywhere for fixes, and followed them to the letter but none of them work... very frustrating.. 😣...so in an effort to relax ..I went out and cleared out some precious items junk from the shed, and binned them.. Wheelie bin gets emptied later so the guys will think I've put rocks in it, it's so heavy now.. well probably not for them truth be told,... but it is for me..

Froze all the portions of Shepherds pie I made yesterday ...just had enough room for them in the freezer.. the containers take up a lot of room, so if I'd made more I would have had no space..

Sitting here now with a cold drink...

You're welcome about the first thing i quoted. About the second.. the worst thing about passwords to even get into devices is that you can't click 'forgot password' enter some info in response to questions and get into it to make a new one.
 
I replaced the battery in my Timex wristwatch this morning. When I opened the case, I found that it had a cover over the battery with a couple of very tiny "latches"....I could have easily broken them. I found a UTube video that showed the proper way to unlatch the battery, and did it the right way. This is just my cheap "every day" watch, and it would probably cost more to take it to a shop than a new watch would cost.
