@StarSong ,I agree with what you said about the library. Ours does a fantastic job. We order the DVDs online and make an appointment. They are waiting on a table in a paper bag on the library porch. They said they clean each DVD and when they are returned and they wait 3 days before putting them out for someone else. I still go over them with sanitizer just to be sure.
 

In the basement of my building is our 'community library',with shelves of books arranged by topic/author.One of the residents is in charge of it
.Whenever I'm finished with a book I've bought, no longer want in my bookcase,I take downstairs.There are 2 bins 'donated' 'returned'.
I have no need to go to my childhood local library which is a block from my apt building.The last time I was in there maybe 5 yrs ago.It basically looks the same from the outside,inside also the same except now there are computers,copying machine

Here's the process:
I go online, look at their catalog just as I did in 2019. I order whatever of their books or DVDs I want. If they're not stocked in my branch, the large entity that is Los Angeles Public Libraries ships it to that branch. If it's not being lent out at that time, I usually get an email within a week advising me it's arrived. Sometimes I have to wait for it to be returned from another patron.

When I get the email that it's reached the branch I designated for pickup, I select an appointment from their website to pick up the materials. There are usually open time slots within 3-4 days.

On pickup day, I mask up and go to the entry door of the library. They open the door, I tell them my last name, they hand me a paper bag with my items in it and I leave. If I have things to return I go to a different area and drop those books/DVDs in a slot. The library holds them for about five days before processing them (safety measure for the librarians).

It's a pretty good system. Feels very safe.
 
Going to get the ever popular mammogram. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Watching the counting of the votes, still. I think this will be the last day I watch until, if I am still alive and if the world is still populated with people and if I still have a brain and a tv and a house that houses my tv, 2022. When the mid term elections roll around; I will watch the count again.

I like to watch. 🤪😂🤣

Great to hear you've chosen to have the mammogram (y) ...when are you going ?...
 
I advertised a free piece of furniture on Nextdoor this morning and now I'm waiting for a nibble.

“‘Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to shew when you are there.” - Mary Howitt
 
My plan for today is to clean out the fridge and wash it inside and out. I want to vacuum as well. I plan to make a small cod fish chowder.

Yesterday I went out for a just few groceries; some fresh grape tomatoes, blueberries and the fish mainly.

The weather here has been gorgeous these last few days; sunny and in the mid to high 60's.
 
Cleaned out the rain gutters and mulched leaves in the front yard. That's enough for today! When I tell people I get out on the roof and lean over and scoop out the leaves in the gutters, they are amazed. To me it's better that trying to climb up and down on a ladder. A few weeks ago my cousin fall off a ladder helping my aunt. He wasn't badly injured, but he's sore and he's a big strong man. Here's a photo my mom took of me doing it one year - from my hair color, I' say it was nearly 30 years ago.

Be careful up there, Deb.
 
Well it looks like we're all in cleaning mode today. :giggle: 🧹🧺 I've just cleared the livingroom of furniture except the sofas and heavy stuff and vac'd all the way through so hubs can shampoo the carpets , stairs and landing... which he's just getting ready to do now..

I'll pop the doormats in the washing machine after I've had this few minutes sit down with a cuppa char..☕

It's been a sunny day here but not especially so.. with a high of 51 deg...

I went to the State Police Academy this morning to watch the Cadets go through their driver training. What a bunch of bozos. This is not a good class and I overheard the one Instructor talking about releasing 6 Cadets later today. It's a heartache and shattered dreams for them, but if you don't have it, they can't fake it and put you out there. Maybe try the local police department where you live. Their standards aren't quite as high as the state police's are.
 
Today. I had to drive to and from the airport ...about 40 minutes each way. Nice drive for a change because of the lockdown, there wasn't the volume of traffic that there usually is on the airport roads

On the way back I stopped for some shopping at the Farm shop.. and got some nice sweets , pastries and cake for Christmas ..

I got a pack each of the Meringue Kisses... hazelnut and raspberry flavour..

The organic butcher store at the farm shop had a queue 1/4 mile long...

Also at the farm-shop I took pictures of these little fellas.....so cute.. I was leaning on the fence singing ''Little Donkey '' to them... :giggle:

I'm doing some housecleaning. We're celebrating two birthdays at my place & having 6 people over. The birthday guy & his wife are in their 80's & I'm making a big fruit salad & my sister is bringing the pastries & other goodies I can't have.

Well (LOL), are we going to get a audio clip of you singing "Little Donkey"?
 
Cleaned out the window wells where a lot of leaf debris accumulates (thinking about getting window well covers). Still kind of mucky in the bottoms.

Started to mulch the leaves in the backyard, but the mower ran out of gas about a quarter of the way through. I'll have to stop on my way back from church tomorrow and get a tad more gas.
