What are you doing today?

[hollydolly]

What a shock I had earlier today! I went out for a walk and decided to pop to the supermarket on my way back and the little slip road was completely blocked with fallen trees, fences and debris. Blowing a gale outside now but, hopefully the worst is over!

just getting properly into it's stride here again... horrible out there, just had to go out and rescue stuff in the garden...

I knew the pagoda had been blown away but hadn't realised the extent of the damage. My friend has solar panels on her roof, one came off, bounced on all the others and now they are all damaged! Hope your garden has survived.

so far the garden has survived, keeping my fingers crossed for the fencing and trellis.. the fencing is in with concrete posts but the trellis might not fare so well, ..so I'm worried about that.

Got all the stuff that's likely to be blown away into the barn ..can only keep my fingers crossed...

Hopefully it won't be too bad. Mum has a walled garden, she said there's some damage but nothing we won't be able to sort out and no fences to mend.

Actually other than my house, I'm more concerned about my Computer. It crashed twice on Friday because of the storm, along with all the electronics in the house.. .. it's an expensive almost new Mac desktop.. I don't want the insides fried if it crashes again..

I am not a Mac user but my computers have crashed before and always recover okay, fingers crossed yours will be fine. Fortunately we haven't lost any power ... yet

someone has just posted on 'Next Door app''... that someone else's garden sofa has landed in their drive...

Watching the Daytona 500 from the comfort of my living room and speculating on the 2032 race where they'll all be self-driving electric cars out there on the track.

"Here #67 is coming in for a charge! He'll be back out in 20-30 minutes!" Everyone is taking turns passing safely. Car engine sounds are piped in for a touch of authenticity. Only lite beer will be sold at the concession stands and you'll have to bring your own BPA-free reusable cup.

Masks will be optional because everyone will be immune or dead by then.

I know it's not funny but for some reason it is I'd knock and ask if they have a coffee table and a lamp to spare too

I had a great problem getting my Mac to recover from both crashes....

Chores done, laundry washed and tumbled and shopping list ready so, taking a break before I pop down to the shop. How on earth did I once do all this and go to work?

Today, I single-handedly managed the successful upgrade and deployment of a new environmental illumination system with zero cost overruns and zero safety incidents.

Yep, I changed out the light bulb in my reading light with an energy-efficient one I got for free from the county and I didn't burn my fingers on the old bulb.

Go me!

Guess I am staying home. Got my butt out of bed early to bring my car in for its 2 year check up and State Inspection. Turns out I wrote it on my calendar wrong...it is TOMORROW!!!

Senior moment #438

Senior moment #438

Good idea that you keep a count, Marie.
That way, you are aware that it could be worse.

After all, you might have reached Senior Moment #440, or 445, or 450.
But you are only at #438.

Not too bad, I'd say to myself.
If only I had kept count of mine.

But that is just since Christmas. LOL

I suggest we start a new count, every month.
Or possibly, more often than that.

Or how about, every time we get to #10 ?
Start over from zero, at that point?
This seems the best idea, we've had so far!

it didn't crash last night thank goodness, but the wind is still pretty strong today albeit no rain.....so keeping my fingers crossed...

 

[hollydolly]

Haven't felt the greatest today, so I literally spent the whole day until an hour ago ( it's now 6.10pm)...laying on the sofa binge watching tv, and dozing.. didn't eat or drink all day, not like me at all.. just felt so yuck.. no idea why !!..

Took delivery of a new hand-held cordless Vacuum cleaner.. and a new cordless computer mouse..

I dislike the Mac ones, they're just too bulky or slow to respond for me.. so I got this one... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09L8425DC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just waiting for the snow to start later today and the temperatures to dip drastically. I am just currently sitting around the home watching old episodes of The Partridge Family.
