Listening to and watching the relentless rain yet again, 5th day now here on the Gold Coast Queensland. So much flooding in Australia right now with parts of New South Wales receiving 75% of their annual rainfall in just 1 week. Feeling for those who've lost everything. Luckily at the moment I'm OK at my place.

Reminds me of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge "Water, water everywhere ..."

So glad you are ok. That’s truly devastating. I’m so sorry this is happening. I send my thoughts and prayers your way. That’s horrible. ☹️
 
On my early morning walk around 6:40 it was already 45 outside,no wind quite refreshing
This morning,will be calling Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are.I couldn't do it yesterday since I had my annual eye appt
This afternoon,I'm taking my next door neighbor,Pat outside for a short walk,she will be using her walker,we won't go far. Its going to be another nice spring dayYesterday her aide took her for a walk as well.Pat doesn't get out much,taking advantage of the nice weather
 
What I am doing today is catching up on what didn't get done yesterday, which was a most frustrating day . I waited around all morning for a Spectrum technician to come and fix our upstairs TV cable problem. This was the 4th time someone was coming out, the first three having failed to fix the problem. Well, the guy showed up around noon and worked for several hours, changing out the tuning adapter in the process. He finally gave up and said he couldn't make it work. He said he would call his supervisor and then left, leaving a trail of apologies. After waiting around for a supervisor to call, which never happened, I went into look at the wiring. Lo and behold, the wiring between the tuning adaptor and DVR was all wrong. It seems the technician had trouble understanding the difference between "cable in" and "cable out". I changed the cabling and, voila, every thing worked after nearly a month of trying to get them to fix it. I do have to give Spectrum credit for finally replacing the old tuning adapter box, which probably shit the bed after the last, brief power outage and spike.

Now, as for today; I do my normal Tuesday light grocery shopping and then go riding like I'd planned to do yesterday. The TV works, the weather is superb and it is a great day.
 
Besides my usual chores......cleaned the front windows in the living room.....now.....i have a riddle for you.....how long will it before the nose prints appear......any guesses.....might be a prize if you're close or right on......lol.
Trying to get the rust off of a so called rust proof shower rod....using CLR and a plastic scour pad......i guess it would be rust proof if the rod doesn't get wet.:rolleyes:🙃😶🤪😜😝🙃
 
Chilling after yesterday hike. Completed first yoga exercise, and cancelled tomorrow’s yoga appointment. Learning the importance of constant movement and fluidity.

I want to understand purpose and meaning of yoga poses and movement, body and spirit.

So sorry for what you're going through in your part of the world....Hope you will remain safe......seems like the world's devastation will not quit.
 
🍃🍂Today I finished decorating my Easter Simnel cakes. There is a thick layer of marzipan in the middle and a very thin layer on top.

According to tradition, there are 11 marzipan balls on the cake to represent the disciples who were faithful to Jesus, the missing one is Judas who is omitted from the cake.🍃🍂
 
I am getting a lot done, sometimes I just get a burst of get it done, I try not too, but it does happen. Yesterday I rented the movie News of the World, been dying to see it and it’s been 20 dollars for forever. Yesterday it was 6 dollars. It Was GREAT! Going to rewatch it today-get my money’s worth. 😁
 
A collection of new plants arrived today for the conservatory. Lots of time spent deciding which plant goes where. Pure joy, after the ding dongs on the forum today....sigh...🌱🌱🌱
 
A lovely sunny day, we took bags of clothes and books to a huge charity warehouse, while there I replenished my stock of books

After a drive through the countryside we decided to have a full English breakfast at a beach cafe, so good to be out and about with my daughter, doing normal things again
 
I FINALLY forced myself to call a new dentist and now have an appointment in April. Proud of myself now that I did it. My plan for today is to clean the bathroom, take some stuff downstairs to my storage area, the regular daily chores and then back to work on my website and moving my photos. Nothing spectacular today.
 
Today it's cloudy although not cold. Been out in the garden trimming back some trees.. didn't take long but the chain on the electric chainsaw needs replacing , so just ordered a new one of those. Hubs fitted a new external extractor flap vent replacing our old one.

Going to take the tree stumps and branches to the recycle centre shortly.. won't take long....

“ding dongs on the forum today”? Interesting, hmm, well, there might be at least one “ding dong” on the forum today. 😂
 
Been restoring old photos all morning, Fixed a roast beef and cheese sandwich for lunch and will soon start working on tonight's dinner (with leftovers for several more dinners) - a tavern roast with egg noodle infusion (i.e., once the roast is falling-off-the bone done, the whole shebang will be pressure infused into egg noodles. This is pretty much the same thing I do with Stroganoff and Bourguignon but wanted to try a different combination of ingrediants. It will be tough to beat the Stroganoff (my favorite) but I'll try.
