Last night my DIL put me on their account for Apple TV and I just watched CODA and really enjoyed it! Wasn't bored for one second! I also made popcorn. Got into the spirit!

co-incidentally, I'm just about to watch an Old movie on Apple TV which I haven't seen in decades...I watch films in stages, I can rarely sit through a whole film in one sitting, I get bored or distracted..
 
Watered the backyard. Then I positioned my lounge chair between my 2 magnolia trees and read my book, while waiting for my niece to come by.

We had a nice visit, then when I walked her out to her car she was driving a 4 door Tesla. She likes it, says it only takes her 45mins to charge it up. But, it's so bland inside. There's nothing on the dashboard except that big ole computer.

It does everything! She even showed me where Netflix was!
 
Finished up my chores for the day, and took the dog for a walk up the hill to check out one of my junkyards, and turn off the heater in the pump room of the other house. That should pretty much guarantee the return of sub-zero weather. Li'l Bit had a great time flying around the property. She also bagged her first chipmunk today, out below the bird feeder. I thought she was going to eat it whole, but after a thorough chewing she finally dropped it, and I disposed of the poor guy. She spotted another one under the big welder, but was unable to convince him to come out and play. Not to worried about the chipmunks, as they get out of hand some years population wise. She also appeared to be interested in learning how to drive the tractor.

Not today but yesterday.

A grandson of the lady from over the road brought his electric scooter to me to have a look at, "It's broke" he said.
An hour after he left I got it working, then I took it to the park for more extensive trials ( "Well you have to don't you?"). 😊
I whizzed around and round, then round again, the wind blowing my mane of hair behind me, and I heard some kids refer to me as 'Super Grandad'.
Some park official stopped me and told me to act my age, I responded that I was acting my age, and that he couldn't understand this, because he was less than half my age.
Honestly these youngsters don't know how to be young. 😊

The rest of my day take afternoon walk,read NYT/local paper, read my book. After dinner tackle NYT daily crossword puzzle I'll try to watch part of the NCAA basketball championship game between Univ of North Carolina vs Kansas. I've been a 'Tar Heel 'fan for yrs. I don't know why the game starts at 9:30pm
 
We've been having beautiful weather the last few days and I've been enjoying being outside.

I'm really sad today after listening to the news this morning of the horror that Putin is doing in East Ukraine....it is all just beyond sad to know how one evil human being can cause so much misery to innocent people.

You’re a hoot, @timoc! always enjoy your posts 😁
 
I've really done nothing noteworthy today.
It's been raining steadily all day and so that stopped me from going out which I'd planned to do, but as it was only to pick up some alterations I didn't feel it warranted me going out in the rain..maybe tomorrow.., I need to buy some more Compost anyway, so I'll perhaps leave it all for tomorrow when it's supposed to be dry..

I completed my Journal which is usually a daily task that I try to keep up with faithfully, and I'd left it since Thursday but a lot has happened since then so it took me almost an hour to write everything in longhand ...

I cooked Mac and cheese with Macaroni & Spinach Farfalle, with cheddar and and chopped bacon for dinner tonight....and had a choc & hazlenut Cornetto after, while watching a couple of catch -up shows on TV..

Podiatrist appt today. My toenails were like daggers :giggle:, and he's not the best.
I'll have to go to the nail salon for some fine tuning and color.

Ran some more errands, hit the down the corner a ways store looking for a rack of lamb...but they didn't have any out.
Had to get a battery for my watch. Luckily, all my little errands were within my 4 mile radius of my home.

Came home, did a load of wash, made dinner, checked my FB for my clone order, and here I am.
 
Yesterday was busy.......had sold my king adjustable bed.......decided, just too big, impossible to move for cleaning.
Was been picked up yesterday.....so stripped it all, washed all the protective covers, gave the mattresses a good vacuuming......washed down the framing. Picked up at 4:30.
Wow.... i have a bedroom now !!!!!!!!
Got them to bring up one of my futons from downstairs, is a full size bed......going to order a memory foam mattress for it......will just set on top of the mattress that's on there now, to get some height.

Next to go.....my HUGE living room set.
I'm really getting into this downsizing thing.

Today.....garbage to the curb.....and an easier day planned.
 
Very gloomy in my area today.
Yesterday I made a big pot of split pea soup. I had the peas for awhile and figured I better make the soup because once the weather gets warm we aren't going to want a steaming hot bowl of soup for dinner.

I used low sodium chicken broth in place of the water and it made a big difference in flavor. With the broth and the ham bone it was seasoned just right without adding extra salt.
I'll pick the meat off the bone today and add it to the soup for dinner.

I'll probably change my curtains in the kitchen today and bring a couple of window screens up from the basement .
I don't put all of them in because generally we get a week or two of heavy pollen form the trees and I will have to wash the windows and all the screens again.
