You're right about sea temperatures. Look at this map and see the differences in sea and land temperatures around our Island.
This morning I shall be at work earlier, we have some guests whom I have been (t)asked with, giving the guided tour. The hat has been requested, last time I was told that I looked like a movie extra from one of those "Film Noir," flicks. Was that a compliment?

Definitely a compliment, @horseless carriage ... they wish they were as stylish
 

Have been doing maintenance on my 30 year old truck. Fixed the brake light wiring, new wipers, repaired the windshield washers, new fuel filter, etc.. Getting it, and the big trailer ready for a trip down to Fort Collins to pick up a 3400lb milling machine. Have to wait for the weather to clear, and Saturday looks like the next decent day. Should be about eight hrs of driving round trip, going over Cameron, and Rabbit Ears passes. Looking like I will have another foot of snow to clear by Thursday morning.

🎂Yesterday's Yule Cake did not come out of the pan well, so I get to do it all over again today. (sigh) So, I get to make another Yule Cake today. I like making the mess, I just hate cleaning it!

📺 I did finish watching 1883. It was a prequel to Yellowstone. I sure enjoyed it! They are talking about making a second season....I'm not sure if I would like that. This first season was more of a "mini series".....it had a definite ending to the story. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I forget from year to year how many spritz a whole recipe makes. Um. 12 dozen. Glad I only made a half recipe. They're done. Yay.

The ingredients for DD's favorite cookies are out and at room temp. Guess I'll go ahead and make them. Then I can clean up the kitchen and be done with it.

BTW, the spritz are quite tasty😋
 
The picture on the right is one I made myself.. from start to finish, including the framing... it's approx 28'' x 20 inches

The picture on the left is slightly larger.. cost me an arm and half a leg to buy ready made... and was delivered late this afternoon.

If I may blow my own trumpet for a second, I think my picture on the right look every bit as good as the ready made one on the left.. . The only discernible difference between the 2 is that my Frame is lightweight..faux fake Chrome.. with a plywood back... the Balenciaga.. also has a Faux chrome frame but has a solid wood rear.. which make it very heavy to lift, and will be a challenge to hang..

@hollydolly Probably the only difference is how your back feels after lifting them! They're both very nice, though I worry about your missing arm and half a leg...

DD's cookies are in the fridge as we speak...you know: refrigerator cookies. LOL. The dough needs to be stiff and cold when they go into the oven.

Can't believe I actually talked myself into getting the cookies done! Way to go, Gramma👵🤶

well I have to do without the leg and arm if I want pwetty pictures :p seriously, the weight won't be a problem once they're hung.. it's just getting them hung.. might have to ask a friendly neighbour to help..
 
Round 2 of the dishwasher saga.

After some thought i told hubby let's buy locally.
made a call , went to home center looked at what they had.
Found one with black stainless front.
Checked with son before buying, as I guessed that he was going to buy the brand he wanted us to get.
Caught him before he bought any!

Hubby went back to store paid for dishwasher & its on our truck.
He called the plumber, who should be here Thursday.

I'm glad you're feeling better!

In addition to my language partner, who has offered help if I need it, my neighbor has also asked me to let her know if I need anything. (She came to invite me to Christmas dinner. I won't go, as there seems to be more illness now than ever.)

Nice to know that I'm not totally alone with my mysterious health problem. Something in my abdomen.

If and when I get the ultrasound appointment, I think I'll walk. It's a bit far for me (just under 1 km), and slippery.

But I don't want to drive it again. The hospital entrance is on a steep blind hill, and no one is driving carefully because it's normal for them. I'm a flatlander and still not used to these BC hills.
 
I have been busy "cutting the cord". I have moved furniture and unhooked my satellite cables and equipment and installed one Roku over the course of the past couple of days. It will be something I will take a while to get used to, I am sure, but I can stream PBS live with no problem and the rest will come gradually as I learn about it. It made me feel a little insecure doing this. I am not great with technology. My hotspot is my only source of WIFI. I am sure not going to miss that satellite bill. I realized I wasn't watching it much at all at it wasn't worth it.

You’re doing great with all this tech stuff, DebraMae.
 
Today after much arguing with myself, and time monitoring a thread which I started on SF I did a shopping trip to Walmart for a few items.
The Items I specifically wanted were mostly not available but I did get a real bargain with the purchase of Tetley Tea ..216 bags for
$8.87 regular price around $14.00. So nice to get something cheaper than before these days. Now I can have a BIG tea party:p
So tea drinkers check your local Walmart for a bargain.

Tomorrow afternoon I get my bi monthly macular eye jab so may be out of commission for a day or two. It depends on how many needles . Sometimes just two ,other times three but it does the job so I am grateful to have it.
Been having a lot of tired eye sessions lately . Blurry , focus etc. Between computer and TV too much glare I guess, I hope, as I can cut back on that.

Have a nice evening, afternoon, morning ... wherever you are
