Did your neighbor have any luck with his recent yard sale, Deb?

I can't say. The one across the street in the church building didn't look like he had many cars stopping, but then I don't watch all day. The one next door had a lot of people stop, but stopping doesn't necessarily mean buying. Also, I don't go over and ask in any event. They'd probably tell me it was NOMB.
 

Forecast highs have been upped to 114°F (45.5°C) on both Saturday and Sunday. Eek! 102° tomorrow, but only 96° today. I've got a load of laundry working and will put in another later today. Want to check them off my list before the heat wave arrives. An admittedly small contribution of minimizing appliance use during peak strain on the power grid.

Went for a morning swim - heaven. DH and I are about to enjoy a late breakfast.
 
Hm. I never thought of trying to learn bridge online. I hated trying to learn because people who play bridge want to play with people who play bridge. It's sort of like not being allowed to go swimming until you learn how. Maybe it was just the people I was trying to learn from, but patience wasn't their long suit (pun intended). As a result, I never learned how to play bridge. Pinochle and Canasta were more my speed.
 
I taught myself the fundamentals long before the Internet games came about. I know the basics, but not so good at the fine points. Could never grasp what is the best card to lead. I'd be a lousy partner.
 
Deb, how is the weather forecast for this weekend. I learned that multi-event sales meant people raced from one place to another & didn’t browse long enough. Good luck with your sale.

I am learning how to play bridge online since my senior center is closing for 2 weeks and my group might close down.

I’m really shocked your senior centre is open. Ours has been closed since March 15th & will not likely reopen again this year.

Playing bridge with the lack of social distancing and proximity to others seems impossible.

The secret to bridge is lessons, lesson & more lessons. And then more. It never ends. I definitely need more lessons.

I play online.
 
Actually did a couple of "normal" outings today. I finally dared to get my hair cut (dropped about 3-4 pounds right there!) for the first time in over 6 months. It felt safe, everything was well ventilated, they wiped everything down very thoroughly, everyone wore masks, and there were only 2 customers, at opposite ends of the salon.

Then I stopped at an old favorite Chinese restaurant and picked up carry-out lunch. That felt safe also. Let's hope, anyway. It was delicious, first Chinese I've eaten also in over 6 months.

I play online also. Bridgebase.com is a good web site.
 
This morning on my early walk around 6:15, to buy local paper&USA Today I wore my yellow reflector vest because it wasn't really light outside
When I returned, watered the plants/flowers in our community garden,walked up 3 flights of stairs to my apt
At 9:30,my friend,Thora{she lives 1 floor above me} we're going to local grocery store TOPS for a couple of items
The rest of my day read NYT, my book,this afternoon may sit outside in garden or go for a walk depending on what I feel like doing
 
So far today, despite my back killing me and having to stop and use the heat pad in between..I've managed to get the plant pots on the trellis taken down and cleaned and emptied of water after our torrential downpours the last day and a half.. (dry today)

Bagged up loads of clothing/handbags & belts and some Brica-brac for the Charity shop, and loaded them into 6 wheeled suitcases which I'm also donating..

Made brunch, washed up.. wiped down the front door and the doorstep .. ..cleared out one kitchen cupboard and transferred the contents into a basket in the Barn ..posted on here... now sitting down with the 3rd heat pad of the day...

In the meantime , hubs has gone to get his teeth cleaned at the dentist :sneaky:

You certainly have done a lot despite the back pain! Good to know you are using the heat pad between bursts of energy!

Thanks Pinks...I'm trying to be as normal as I can and get on with everything in the house where possible...unfortunately I have no choice when it comes to the heat pad..I'm in a lot of pain quite quickly so I have to use it..

I was supposed to be driving today but can't so I've put it off in the hope I'll be able tomorrow (y)
 
Waiting for the sun to get to the back of the house so that we re-pot our plants out front. It just to hot out there in the direct sun.

Also waiting for the UPS driver to pick up a package to return to Amazon. That foam pad they sent, to hold my iPad, was the biggest piece of junk I’ve ever ordered. It didn’t come from Amazon but one of their direct suppliers. They, Amazon, are great about returning orders.
 
I have my weekly "date" with our vacuum cleaner and other Friday Field Day Tasks.
And sometime today, I have another "wrestling match" with our local post office that claims they "delivered my package to our mail box." They might have delivered it to "a mailbox" but it wasn't mine. Since this package contained medicine, I have no choice but to "engage" them on this.
Just in case anyone else encounters this problem and tries to get answers using the USPS website, .... well be prepared for a lot of website "run around" and lots of frustration. I am now getting daily e-mails saying that they have received my complaint and they "are investigating." Fortunately, I have enough medication to last me for a couple of weeks.

That's a serious mistake on their part! I hope that whoever got your meds will get them to you.
