New sofa and a couple of rocker or glider type recliners that go nearly all the way flat. Leather preferred, but we'll see what's available. We looked during the pandemic but choices were slim and estimated delivery times were 6-8 months so we decided to live with what we had.

While I like leather I find it problematic for furniture, wow, problematic I so seldom use “big” words. Surprised I can remember it, and how to spell it. 😂. I am definitely on a roll.

I find leather either too hot so I sweat like a pig and my legs get stuck to it; or it’s too cold and I have to put a blanket on it to stay warm; or it too slippery, for a recliner, and I slip down in the seat.

Although last time I saw my mother she had a leather couch which was great to nap on, so comfortable. I liked it so much that I asked her could I have it when she died. (She was in one of her “I am dying tomorrow moods”. So ok, can I have your couch? 😊

My brother spoke up immediately “I bought her that couch”. Hmm, guess that’s a no. 😂

@Aneeda72 I'm sorry to read that your appointment didn't go well. I hope things will get better for you.
@NorthernLight Hoping the weekend will be better for you. How nice of you to thank us for our humorous posts.
@CinnamonSugar You're welcome, of course. I'm so happy for you.
Best of blessings to each of you.

Thanks. @Happyflowerlady must have been mind reading with her remarks on my pacemaker thread. I saw my doctors’ partner for some very disturbing restricting heart symptoms I have been having during the last week. Hoping it was something other than my stupid bradycardia.

She refused to do an EKG. She simply said get a new pacemaker or die. (My heart had stopped 4 times, 🙄, in addition to other problems. It’s called a pause, when you heart beats so slow, it quits beating. 🤬). I am not happy.
 
Nothing earth crashing today…..doing the grocery thing, that will be crashing on the pocket book, but I don’t need much.
I gathered up 5 big bags of leaves yesterday in my back yard……remember……I paid someone last week to clean up 😤😤😤😤😤.
I’ll put them out at the back lane so they can get picked up…..still maybe a bag or two to fill back there still…….remember…..I have no trees back there.
Supposed to be double digit temps again today, so that will be nice to be out in.
 
Sunny and warm here.. 68 Deg F...🌼🌞🍂🌿


Got the house cleaned.. then Factory Reset my old Iphone X, clearing everything off it.. so I can give it a new home.. I;m chuffed I did it because I'm not techi minded at all...

DD rang..she has serious painful arthritis in her right hand caused by her fingers having to be reattached after a fall over a cliff a few years ago ... and she had gone into the drawer in the kitchen and her most bouncy dog.. jumped up and slammed the door shut on her fingers.. she was on the point of throwing up with the pain... 😧😧

We like leather furniture - have had it in years past and currently have a leather sofa in our living room. (Right now we're shopping for family room furniture.)

There's an enormous comfort and durability difference between expensive, buttery leather furniture and inexpensive, stiff leather furniture. No surprise there. The difference between a good leather jacket and a far cheaper one is also dramatic.

DH & I are also considering fabric furniture and will keep an open mind.

completely agree.. I have buttery leather sofas... and in Spain we made the mistake of buying not such good quality leather , our bare legs would stick to them in summer, and they'd be freezing in winter.. and within 3 years they'd cracked and started to split,...

I had a leather loveseat that I got for free. Loved it. One doesn't stick to leather if one wears clothes....
