I'm fairly irritated. I wanted to go and take some stuff to the recycle centre and also cut the lawns .. but the forecast stated rain for all morning, ...so instead I felt as I was going to be home I may as well order an online purchase for next day delivery..

Well, it didn't rain at all, and the forecast says it's not going to rain today or tomorrow.. but now I'm stuck in waiting for the delivery which is showing that it will be delivered by 10pm ..so very ambiguous . ....so I can't go out, and equally can't cut the grass because out back with the lawnmower going I won't hear the doorbell :confused:

Oh dear, HD, seems you are stuck between a rock and a hard place:unsure:
 
This is what I was working on Tuesday and yesterday…..setting these patio blocks in…..18” x 18”
Probably doesn’t look like much…..but had to dig out the grass…..setting in…..levelling…..got 8 down, 2 more to go this size…..
then 3, 16” x 16” on the end.
Decided to put these down, because my guys had the grass dug up from playing fetch….used that spot as a launching pad.

This type of work is a reminder to me as why I have 2 knee replacements, and need 2 hip replacement..
I started wrecking my joints on the farm when doing landscaping…….24 x 30, 24 x 24, 18 x 18 patio blocks, about just under 300 of them……railroad ties, lost track how many of those…..at lot of heavy work, but l loved doing it, and loved my results when I was done.

Any body need blocks or ties put down……DON’T CALL ME. 😏🙃☺️.

Another lovely day in the neighborhood! This time I'm not gonna make a laundry list of all the things I intend to accomplish. Instead, I'm gonna start on one side of the garden and work my way across and up and down to see how far I get.

The a/c will prolly need to be turned back on today. Sigh. It was nice while it lasted.

BTW @Trila regards to🐐 and Andycat. I hope that they (and you, of course) are doing well.

this is actually very hard work..I know I've helped the estranged O/H many times.. Kudos to you doing it on your own.. but you really have to be careful and not injure yourself..
 
Well.. you'll never believe this.. well you probably will of me... the parcel arrived quite early afternoon.. so I not only managed to get out and mow the lawns.. I also managed to get to the Post office, and to the Supermarket. Just got back about 20 minutes ago...

I was really surprised, there was no heavy traffic, and the supermarket was not only almost empty of people, almost every shelf looked like it had the locusts strip it..:oops: so I have no idea what was going on.
Granted I didn't get there until 5 pm..ish.. but even so it 's open until 9pm.. and the roads are normally fully jam packed at that time too.. Oh well I'm not complaing about the roads.. but the Supermarket is another thing.. just too many missing items, and everything that was there had risen in price by at least 10 % and many as much as 25 %...😖
 
@hollydolly When I was packaging bread yesterday I noticed that one foo-foo brand of bread had gone up from $4.79/loaf last week to $6.49/loaf this week. No kidding. I guess if it's trendy enough, the price is whatever the traffic will bear. As long as people keep buying it, and they do...

And muffins. Holy Toledo! I can see paying $1.25 for one in a coffee shop as a snack, but $5.99 for a package of 4 in a grocery store? Nope. That means $1.50 each to give each member of a 4-person household ONE muffin. A dozen can be made with 10 minutes of effort and 20 minutes of baking, so that 4-person household can each have THREE muffins. Cost? Probably less than $2.
 
So far today, I've made us a quick meal, scrambled eggs ,toast , jam & sausage.

Been cleaning up behind Mac,he's been puking on the rugs!

Got that mess cleaned up & blocked the doorway to living room.

He has been giving me the look,,,,,,"I have no where to take a nap or sleep!"
His kennel door is open,,but no want to sleep on a couch.

Presently he found some sunshine on the porch.
 
My day started off with some excitement. I looked out my window when I got up, and there were all kinds of Highway Patrol cars on the freeway. I found out that about 3:30 am a truck rolled over and slid down an embankment. I watched as the lowered the truck down the embankment ot the road below. Now CALTRANS has a bunch of workers out there replacing the torn up guardrail.
Tonigh our apartment complex is hosting a Happy Hour, and I plan on going.

Autumn indoors decorations have never been a thing here.. it;s just something we've never done in the Uk at all, unlike the USA... However it has recently become a fashion, and it;s taking hold quite quickly in the last year or so, and now our stores have a lot more Autumn decor than ever before

You know, @hollydolly, I had to mull over what you said but I realized fall decorations haven’t been a big thing in most places I’ve lived (S California, Uostate New York). I guess we southerners are so happy to see the cooler, non-humid weather arrive we feel like celebrating.
