Saturday chores, per usual, then a trip to Trader Joe's (110 miles round-trip) for some things I like but just can't get locally. I only do this once or twice a year and given the cost of gasoline, it may be another year before I go there again. When I got home, I portioned out the frozen food into single-serving packages and vacuum sealed to prevent freezer burn.

I live about a mile from the closest Trader Joe's and buy a fair number of their foods. That said, I can't help but wonder what you love so much that you'd make this long trip for them. Would you please tell us? Perhaps I'm missing something extremely yummy...

Joey has chosen Olive Garden for lunch today as he wants “pasta”. 😂. He is an expensive date. He likes the Tour of Italy with a salad. We could never get him to eat soup. Invited older son but he is busy 🙄.

Did my walking.

@hollydolly I am thinking of taking britbox on Amazon as I want to watch Vera. From what I read this streaming service has a lot of good shows. Have you ever used it? It’s 6.99 a month here and it says it’s 7.99 in Britain-strange. Anyway, do you watch it?

No, I've never watched BritBox Aneeda... however I'm left wondering why I would need to watch it as Brit..I mean not why you're asking but why they would be selling it to Brits, when we already get channels showing Vera etc on regular TV channels....other than that of course I have Amazon Prime so I get lots of TV, and film choices .. which I don't actually use tbh
 

Today I am still thinking of yesterday's trip with my friend to our Giant Tiger store.
We got to the store, shopped , really happy with some of the prices and headed back to friend's car. We decided to go for coffee and donut so put all of the shopping in her trunk as some of it was frozen. Then ..disaster...my friend left the keys in the trunk and of course rest of car was locked. Spare key was at home , hubby is a bit of an old crosspatch if you know what I mean , so she decided to call our CAA .

After talking and pressing a million keys for the robot who answered she was finally told we would have to wait 84 minutes ( as calculated by robot of course) . So we go back in to the shopping mall to wait. Fifteen minutes her phone rings again and this time it is a live person who said the truck would be there in ten minutes. Half an our later it arrived. A jolly man and woman who poked open a window with their crazy tool and voila the door opened and they left. However, since the car is fairly recent model there is no way to open trunk without starting the car so my friend had to get into the trunk from the inside . So there she was crawling in from the back seat at age 82 but she did manage to get the keys.
With my old car I just have to flip a lever to open trunk. While the newer cars are technically wonderful in many ways , they have their faults.

So that is my story for yesterday. When she dropped me off with my groceries we hugged goodbye and then I burst out laughing and then she burst out laughing so was a good release from the tense time we had.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Life is so weird some times and we have to wonder why these things happen.

I watched Vera on YouTube. They have most of the episodes.

I know it's tricky deciding on which video service to use (and pay for). I chose YouTube Premium. They have lots of movies and TV shows. Maybe not the best selection of those. But I like that they have so much variety: exercise videos, information on a million things, content in other languages, etc.

You might like to take a look at both britbox and acorn tv before making a decision. I was also of the same mind to get britbox but found that I had seen a lot of the content. I purchased acorn tv, about $10 canadian and I love it. Not only shows from the UK but Australian shows that I really enjoy and subtitles. Good luck BTW you can find Vera on acorn tv. Funnily enough when I spent some time in the UK I could not find anything on the tv that I liked so ended up doing a lot of reading.

I think it's because it's so far away and whenever I go there, I find some interesting foods not available where I live.
 
Winter is here. Salt, grit, and sand get tracked into the apartment. I've shaken the mats, etc., into the bathtub several times in the past 2 weeks. Then I have to clean the bathtub (or try to).

Why don't I take them outside and shake them? D'oh!

Other than that, I'm going to host the trivia game in about half an hour.

I don't mind the masked singer.. it's the Panel that gets on my nerves. It seems to be more about them than the singers...

OTOH the masked dancer is a waste of production money !!

I don't usually watch it but I am waiting for I'm A Celebrity - which is another show I do not usually watch but, I am WhatsApping with some friends and they are all watching ! :) I watched about 5 minutes of the first Masked Dancer and thought it was awful.
 
Raked leaves, raked more leaves and watched more leaves come down. Swept the driveway and walkway and cleaned the front windows. Put the trash and recycling out for collection tomorrow morning. That was just the outside work. Did usual chores inside, too.

Jealousy is rearing its ugly green head. I want one. I'd be living in it and growing plants for my garden in the spring. And Maggiecat would be there with me.
