Today I actually shopped. The new jeans that I ordered online stretched out as soon as I wore them. They’ll be donated. Went to another store and found some on sale. There weren’t any other customers in the store. Then I went to another store and bought two caps & a hat. It actually felt exciting. It doesn’t take much to thrill me nowadays.

Yesterday went to Ollies and bought two water hoses and nozzles. The sun down here ruins hoses, here in Florida, so I replaced two out of three. Also got a bag of Bonus S for my lawn. Sticker shock on this one.
The sun here is bad for a person's dashboard. I don't use a hose so...*Shrugs*

it's the same in Spain, the sun ruins the hoses.. and everything else tbh...the paint and render on mi Casa ( which has to be painted every 5 years) ... the paintwork on the cars... annoying

Bought a hamburger press, needing to up my burger game. Now, if I could just make chili that would taste like what Steak n Shake used to make back at their original drive-in ( on Main Street in Normal, IL) when it was owned by the founder's family. None of the internet "copycat" recipes even come close to what they served in the 1950s
Edit Note: The original Steak n Shake was THE place through which to cruise a and have a burger in 1950s central IL.

If the sun and dry weather ruin things why don't you sell up and move inland because the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

Finally give in and ordered the bike I've been drooling over for months. They won't ship to my planned destination so it's coming here and I will ship it ahead myself as I depart. It's on backorder so watch the goddamned virus slow down and allow travel with me sitting on my butt awaiting its arrival.

I've always wondered why they're called push bike in England. OK if I had one I'd have to push it. Pedal bike would sound more logical.

The push in "push bike" refers to having to push on the pedals to make it move. It only came about to distinguish from motorized versions once they became a thing

Another exciting Amazon day yesterday. A package of stick-up hooks for my Florida room. Oh, the excitement is overwhelming.

Our clocks went forward last night/early this morning... I've had the same radio alarm for several years.. I don't need an alarm clock now since I've retired, so I've just ordered a Radio controlled bedside clock so I never need to mess around with seasonal time changes again.. it's about the only clock in the house that isn't radio controlled.
It's due to arrive this evening... 6 hour delivery window

In the US we distinguish between them as bicycles, motorized bikes/bicycles (small engine to assist), and motorcycle or motorbikes.
