Photographed a few Halloween decorated houses to show my Guatemalan language partner. Even if he doesn't care about the decos, he'll find the houses, lots, and trees interesting. And the snow....

Met my local language partner at A&W. Such a nice, intelligent person. Ever since I've been "not looking," my life seems to be full of very cool men!

Got 6 large cooked burger patties to bring home. No cooking for 2 days.

Drinking my 6th coffee of the day, so will be up most of the night.
 

Today was garden day. Winter tomato plants are starting to grow. Planted some strawberry plants. harvested most of my lettuce, but, still have a couple left. Rosella bushes started to flower so now we'll be able to harvest some bulbs, looking forward to making some jam and tea out of them.Been told they're good for you. :)

Selling bits and pieces stored downstairs. Corresponding with buyers takes time. Not making much money, I’m not doing it to get rich. I’m approaching this clean up as precursor to whenever we have to downsize. It probably won’t be for a few more years. Might as work on it now. If someone changes her mind, it sure would be nice to have a reply. I was going to list some items for free and saw a request for things like that. Never heard back from her. Tomorrow I’ll list it, though it would have been nice to know if she wasn’t interested because someone else might have been. Most action is on a Saturday.

Did a major grocery shop and two walks.
 
After some overnight rain, it's a lovely Autumn day with a southerly wind. Great for drying the washing. In the past, and probably still in some places, it wasn't the done thing to hang out washing on Sunday. I've never worried about such trivial matters.

Maybe go for a walk later. I'm cooking a leg of lamb for dinner. Not sure what veges we have to go with it, but I'll see what the garden has to offer.
 
Daughter's special lasagna for her Dad's birthday yesterday, turned out delicious! That, and chocolate
birthday cake is the reason why I've been awake since 3:30 a.m. with acid reflux. Ugh, growing old isn't
for sissies. I find that if I indulge even just a little, I pay for it.

Nothing on the agenda for today .. just laundry. Have a good day everyone :)

I feel for you Pinks, because that combination of lasagne and chocolate would have had the exact same effect on me.. horrible... today you'll have to eat really bland food to help ease your gut...

I;d forgotten totally about not hanging washing out on a Sunday, until you said... I remember it being that way when I was a kid..
 
This morning, all the clocks have gone back an hour.. and mine change automatically apart from One in the kitchen.. so I'll have to get a ladder and get up and change that..

It's absolutely piddlin' down.. very wet indeed.. and I'm happy about that because I like to get cosy indoors when it's a rainy Sunday.. , thank goodness I mowed the lawns the other day...
 
Today, I am going to do some laundry, clean the NuWave oven and exterior of the stove (since I don't cook with it, only on it and use the oven as a cupboard for pots and pans) and the hood too. Then making a corned beef in the Instant Pot. Other than that, probably writing some on my story or the blog. Not sure at this point.

Good for you, Jules.
You’re right, corresponding with buyers does take a lot of time.
I’ve only had a couple people change their minds about items, wasn’t big issues, always kept other buyers requests to contact, if a buyer failed…..and there were some that wanted to wheel and deal, discount the price.
 
Going to son's apartment. They are having a Grandparents Day so we can see our grandson in his Godzilla costume (plus his dad as Spiderman and his mom as a Butterfly BUT grandson insists his mommy NOT a butterfly but Mothra, an enemy of Godzilla.) I am a witch, but not wearing a costume. A witch au naturel. Allergic to brooms, reminds me of housecleaning!

Great day expected EXCEPT I'm using AccessARide, twice, not once, this week. Help me Rhonda.
 
Took Joey to lunch as usual and oldest son met us there. After lunch oldest says he is going to the movie. Have not been to a movie in three years 😮. So we decided to go. It was Black Adam. Like most everyone, we love the rock.

But the movie was not great. Critics gave the move low scores, but audiences have given it high scores cause, I suppose, it the rock. It was 10 dollars a person to get in, it wasn’t worth 40 bucks, imo. But, you know, an afternoon with your sons, priceless 😂😂.

As a funny side note, my oldest sons SO is Chinese. She calls ”the rock” the stone, cause she can’t remember name-the rock. 😂

Then Joey hits us me up for bath wash, Halloween candy for the party at work, and his Sunday donuts. That Plus the lunch, plus the movie, plus his treats at the movie. Was a very expensive afternoon. But, you know, priceless, absolutely priceless. 🤪
