What are you doing today?

Backing up photos is a long tedious job. I have over 70,000 on my computer and try to file and back up at least once a week, spending hours sorting, deleting and saving..
You are more behind than I am! My pictures are on my tablet, which only holds so much. I upload them to my Amazon cloud since it has more storage.

From there I download them onto my PC. Then date them and add a description. Now they are ready to be transferred to the appropriate files on my flash drive. Then I have to go back to the tablet and "delete from device" for each pix, so that I can free up some memory. Talk about "make work"! LOL. The good news is that I'm up to April of this year....so I'm getting there.
 
Drove to the library and picked up two books that were on hold for me. Came home, fired up the tractor and used its belly mower to mow the field on the fringe of my woodland.
You reminded me how much I miss owning my own place. I had 5 acres I mowed with my tractor and when I finished I felt like I had accomplished something. And loved to inhale the smell of new mown grass. Today I vaccumed my apartment. Took me 10 minutes. Not much of an accomplishment!
 

It's 10 am on a Friday... just like yesterday or the day before or the day before that... but wait!
TODAY some excitement! I am having a gas insert placed into my wood burning fireplace. I'm sure "we" have many opinions here about what is better to burn but I am soooooo looking forward to not having to storing wood, chopping my own kindling, tracking wood chips, dirt and critters into my living room! With the cost of $150-250 per cord of wood here I am bowing down to the convenience of clicking a button and presto... clean fire and warmth for the damp winter here on the NW Pacific coast!
Good for you! I'm sure you will like it!
 
The baby chicks have sleeping in the henhouse for a long time, now. Chelveston is the only one who I have been putting in a box, in the barn, each night. The henhouse is raised off of the ground, and Chelveston is so clumsy that I was afraid that she would fall and get hurt.

First thing, every morning I go to the barn to get her, and put her back in the chicken with with everyone else.

Last night, as it was just starting to get dark I saw Chelveston stretching up tall, to look into the henhouse. So, when it was time for her to go to the barn for the night, I put her in the henhouse instead. She settled right in, and went to sleep. Yea!!!!! On less thing that I have to do for her!!!!

This morning I took her down to the pond for a swim. Per usual, as soon as she heard Bonnie calling for her, she ended her swim and headed back to the chicken yard!

Each day is it's own accomplishment....it all depends on your view. 💗
 
Not much planned for today.. chilly and overcast so no incentive to go out..


Just brought the emptied wheelie bins in....

I got a couple more parcels from the Postie.. another splint ring.. and some plant support canes... ,

Gonna do some Ironing today for the first time in forever. I tend to not buy anything that needs ironing .. because I'm a freakoid about creases. if there's a crease in something then I HAVE to Iron it.. but the drawback is a detest ironing.. Anyway, I can't get away with this today..I have one pair of fashion jeans that have to be ironed, and a couple of cotton blouses... so it'll have to be done.

I don't iron! I make a point of this. Once every 10 or 15 years, I might, maybe, iron something big and flat like curtains, otherwise...nope! Not happening!
 
It's a 4 day holiday from yesterday in the uk..until Sunday so a lot of things aren't open because of the Jubilee partying.. I kept thinking today was Saturday, it's been a strange day..


It was warm today with cloud and sun..I got some low arch border fencing installed this afternoon... only a little bit to stop the hedgehogs from spreading all the bark chippings everywhere.. which I have to clean up every morning..

Tried on some dresses that I bought last year and haven't got around to wearing...they look awful..I don't know what I was thinking. Clearly in a fog .. gonna have to sell them on marketplace or somewhere..

I went for the first of my two-part annual physical this morning. After that, I went to the mall and bought a new pair of reading glasses.

My Apple Airbud Pros arrived yesterday, so I walked the mall while listening to music on my iPhone. It was nothing short of amazing. Music really lifts my mood. The outside noises from people in the mall were drowned out and I felt like I was in another dimension. Corny, I know, but that's how it felt. Made my day.
 
you seem to have a lot of fun activities down there... I wish we had some here...
If you ever find yourself on the border between Bournemouth and Poole, you must stop off at Compton Acres. The tea rooms alone make the place worth a visit. The reason that I go there is because there's an old fashion tailor, a skilled artisan, who makes everything that my wife doesn't, like suits and blazers. Fox Tailoring, like a lot of other businesses, have a studio there.
