Today is Bingo downstairs in the Community Room. So getting my work done before two. I will make sure to clean Rabbit's cage before time to go so I don't have to do it after I come back. I like to have everything done before I go anywhere. Might take a load of laundry downstairs before I take my garbage out so I can get that done early. Took chicken out of the freezer to thaw for supper. So that will be the only thing I have to do after Bingo. Right now having coffee and doing some computer related stuff. Have a good day everyone!
 

It's much cooler this morning than yesterday... 80 deg yesterday, 60 deg today. Bliss. I 'm sitting as always in a sleeveless top right by an open window enjoying the coolness of the morning.

Overcast..and forecast to rain from Mid-day, so I will have to go out and collect some items that are on order at a store in town..

Otherwise nothing planned for today except the usual chores..
 
It was a foggy 53 this morning.

So far hubby & Mac are sharing a couch.
Hubby is playing a game on his tablet while Mac sleeps.

I keep looking out the window,, trying to convince myself to fire up the weed whacker.
Or just start pulling the weeds by the porch.

Sounds like work,, guess I'll go finish the library book so I can return them,, & get more books.
 
Wi-Fi has been out since sometime yesterday. I wanted to thank everyone for the lovely anniversary wishes! 💗

Right now I'm having my coffee. In about an hour, we will be off to meet some friends for breakfast. Since we will be in town anyway, may as well run a few errands.

Hopefully, I can come back later to catch up with everyone....Wi-Fi willing!!! 😁

We might be looking at cars today .. or tomorrow. Maybe Mazda's. VW and Toyota are also on the list. In any case, I think we're done with Honda.

out of those 2 choices I think I would prefer the Toyota. I don't know about Canada but the cost of repairs and parts for a VW are sky high ..altho' I suppose it's a Moot point if you're leasing...
 
Well I did go out and pick up my parcels, and now I'm home I've just realised I've left them in the car *duh*... While I was in town, I walked around to the Nail salon and had my nails done. Never had Lilac before so I thought I'd have a change..

£30 now for an infill, instead of £25 last month..

Had a coffee in town too.. I was surprised to see so many people at the coffee house, because it's a pretty overcast day today.. so usually the town would be quiet..

The garage has just relieved me of £800 for service, repair, tyres and MOT for my wife's VW Golf. Fair to say though, we have had the car from new and it's now 22 years old. It has been a most reliable car and the reason that it's never rusted is because it shares a heated garage with our 75 year old MG. Eight hundred pounds though, no wonder I can't retire.

Love that colour, Hols!
As for the car lease .. I'll be happy just to get the colour we want - red, this time.

Actually that was a good price.. you could pay that alone for the Tyres. Cost me £400 last year for 2 tyres..

They all sound like nice cars, was the problem with the Honda only the price or has some other thing gone bad with them? I remember reading long ago that mid-winter (January?) was the time of year to get the best deals on a new car.

@HoneyNut

We can't wait that long (January), as we recently bought out our last leased Honda, which was 3 years old. We're gifting it to our daughter & SIL, in the very near future.

Since we've been leasing Honda's for 19 years, we expected a better leasing deal than they offered. Unfortunately, that did not make a difference this time around.

We've got an appointment with a Mazda dealer, for this coming Thursday. I hope we can get our choice of red. It will be a 2022 model.

love your nails!
 
Sitting on the back porch listening to birdsong, reading a book and having some lunch. Is it my imagination or has the arrival of cooler weather—thanks be to God— made the birds more chipper?

I turned off the AC this AM and flew around the house, flinging up windows to let in the fresh air (I’m totally with you on loving the first non-humid days, @Georgiagranny !).

I hope to take a walk in the park after lunch and maybe tonight I’ll light a scented candle and sit in the porch again, while the sun disappears and the bird song changes to crickets chirping There may be a glass of wine with my name on it.

I Love Autumn!
 
It's a perfectly lovely day here, and I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to talk myself into working in the garden. Nah. I worked all morning in the bakery and don't have any energy left for working in the garden. I'll save myself for Thursday when I have a day off.

@Cinnamon Sugar The windows are open again...it's sunny and 78F here with a nice breeze.

There's no rain in sight for about a week. Imagine a whole week without rain. It's about time! I was starting to feel a bit soggy.
 
Today is the anniversary of my mums' death. It was a long time ago, I was just 18, but I never ever let it pass without having a little conversation with her...

Today also, my ex husband (DD's father).. who is recovering from prostate Cancer, is back in hospital with heart & respiratory problems and .. so I've been sending him uplifting texts... to try and keep his spirits up.. but I have to say, he's so thin and poorly.. and looks 10 years older than his age, I just can't help thinking he's not got long to live.

It's so sad to see him like that, because he was a tall, good looking life and soul of the party guy when we were married.. now he's literally a shuffling skin and bones old man, who struggles to catch his breath.. at only 65....just desperately sad..:(
