We just finished watching "Reacher" on Amazon Prime. Yesterday I started listening to the audio book on my morning and evening walks.
Happy Birthday, Jilly
Happy Anniversary, George
Happy Valentines Day to all.

Loved Teacher!! Watched Power of the Dog tonight. Strange but up for Academy Award.0

Thank you BARBIE, I wish I could go for a walk with you and your doggie pals. I'm still a puppy at heart and LOVE walks. Jilly Bean.0

Happy Tuesday! Nice sunny day, calm before the storm on Thursday. Sitting later and I will be taking Robby to choir while Lisa has a three hour seminar for her teacher's license that she is keeping up until all kids are in school. Will be bringing Mc Donald's and hopefully Fannie May still has some Valentine candy left because I forgot to get the kiddos something.
I started the 30 day shred yesterday and I am sore today but will continue. I can't do it all like jumping jacks or kick ups but I am working with weights for the crunches and other exercises. What is the expression no pain no gain? The only problem is that my scale went up instead of down so I am again thinking I am not eating enough but I don't know. I also rode the bike for an hour so maybe I am overdoing. All this just to try and look decent in a swimsuit which no one will care except me.
Have a great day everyone, soon it will be Spring.

Sandy, congrats on your new exercise plan. Often exercise causes your muscles to hold on to fluid so it looks bad on the scale. Keep up the good work. I added squats to my routine a few days ago and now I'm feeling aches in some muscles that aren't used to the challenge. It will go away.
Bessie and Sasha go for grooming today. It has been hard for Jake to lift Bessie into the back seat of our Subaru SUV so instead of buying a new car (his idea), we accepted the offer of my dog walking friend to transport Bessie in the back seat of her Honda Civic. We did that for Bessie's visit to the vet last month and it worked great. Jake sat in the back seat with Bessie to keep her safe and happy. Today I'll ride in the back seat of my friend's car with Bessie and Jake will take Sasha in the Subaru.
Jilly Bean, we would love to have you come on walks with us.

It is a sunny, albeit windy, day. I guess the weather may be not so great later in the week. A friend is stopping by later today to pick up the stuff I made for her on Saturday. I also bagged up some books for her to read.
Sandy, the kids will love whatever treats you give them. You really are going all out to prepare for this vacation. Just stay healthy. You always look great in your photos and you will be with family enjoying yourself. It will be great.
Barbie, I hope the dog grooming is going well today. Good logistics!
I finally watched Reacher last night as I couldn’t sleep for some reason. I have read most all of the Reacher books so I think the character of Reacher in the movie is just right!
Hello Jackie and Patsy.
Be happy everyone.

The sunny weather went away and clouds rolled in with cool rain. But all in all not too bad.
I had a lovely Valentine’s Day. John had a big bouquet delivered and it is amazing! And Valentine’s. I did my Valentine tree but alas my original plan didn’t work. I had red and pink heart cut to hang on a huge houseplant that lives in the dining room. The paper hearts curled and would not hang. So a swift rethinking sort of worked. We have a small artificial Christmas tree I often put downstairs in the family room. I brought that out and placed on the living room hearth and decorated with paper hearts. I think John liked it and I baked a sugarless apple pie, I carved a heart in the top crust. That I know he liked. Just a note here…I really miss sugar.
Katie is also due for a grooming session. I do the grooming and the nail cutting. I am usually totally exhausted after that but the clean up is really the hard part. It takes both John and I to get the house vacuumed after. We use the grooming session as a way of forcing us to vacuum every room and nook and cranny. Believe me if we could, we would take Katie to a groomer. She doesn’t really like strangers and hates being touched by them. Don’t even get me started about the nail clipping! This girl is a diva! We are her staff and employees. But with friends and family, she is funny and loving. It is so weird that our vet has a litter mate of Katie’s. He says his doggie is almost the same personality. Katie is much bigger and taller than his labradoodle. Yet same mom and dad. Recessive genes, I guess.
My exercises are quite simple and for the most part keep me alive. (?) I use the NIH suggested total core exercises for seniors. It includes some weights and I use 8 lbs barbells. I use 2 lb Velcro weight on ankles some times. This is hardest for me. Stresses my knee. There are 20 different positions and I do 30 reps most days. Some I do hanging on to my ballet bar in my dungeon. The whole thing takes about 35 minutes. Of course, I feel absolutely “used up” after. But I recover shortly and can hobble about my day.
Tonight I am making mild Turkey chili with guacamole and some organic multigrain chips we found at Costco. If it were my choice I would put some spicy peppers in the chili but I fear it would set John aflame!
Bad photo but it was a fun evening reading Valentine’s and eating pie. Watching that series, Killing Eve.
Hello to all you delightful sneakers. As Winnie would say, “Never forget how wonderful you are.”

It's been a sort of nothing day as regards achievements, probably to do with more rain that soaked us on our morning walk and continued all day. George was shivering by the time we got home because his coat becomes soaked and heavy but a good rub down with a towel soon had him zooming round the cottage! I've ordered a rain coat for Betty off eBay but no sign or even notification it's on its way. Unfortunately she grew out of the one I bought for her when she was first adopted, gaining about 3 kilos!
I've been playing with the new laptop and downloaded a couple of Apps I use on the tablet but for some reason the Zoom app doesn't finish its download so I'll have to persevere with that.
We have some nasty weather on the way, one storm called Dudley (or as Anne would call it, Doodly!) with high winds hitting Scotland and northern counties then another on Friday coming in my direction. Looks like a lot of snow trekking across the Atlantic from Canada too!
In an effort to take control of my weight again I bought a Galia melon instead of bananas and after slicing into 4 pieces then cubing the flesh I made a hole in each piece of skin, pushed string through and tied them up in the hens' run so they can peck at them. Of course they get the seeds as well.
Nearly 10pm so I'll watch the news and have what will be an early night by my standards. I want to shop early at the supermarket in the morning so will set the alarm!
Take care everyone.
Jackie (No Emojis on this laptop!! )0 -
I enjoyed today, but no Mark because he hurt his back again after laying the wooden struts across the concrete to eventually put the floor boards back downstairs. I hope its not too bad because he really suffered two years ago when he decided to take early retirement. It's never really healed after loads of treatments.
I made bean, cabbage and veggie soup for lunch which is quite hearty and satisfying. Then the courier delivered my M&S linen shirt which fits perfectly and I really like. Light weight it will be perfect for summer days if and when summer arrives. After that I watched The Guernsey movie which I rather enjoyed being somewhat soppy under an outer crust. Not like the book at all but still likeable.
Oh oh JACKIE, I'm East Yorkshire so not Doodly but Dudley with a guttural U. Touch of the vikings I think which raided our part of the world. There's a beauty spot call Brantingham Dales where my Mom, Dad and I used to bike to when I was a kid. You can look down on the River Humber estuary and I used to think how terrified the villagers must have been as they watched the long boats sail towards shore.
Wild scabious and harebells grew there. I wonder how much it has changed in 70 odd years!
So a lovely day with milder temps of -4. The house finally felt less chilly and I looked less like an overdressed bag lady.
ANNE
PS. I've found Brantingham Dales on safari and it doesn't appear to have changed much. Also Wauldby Green and Elloughton, favourite walks in the past.0 -
Oops, sorry Anne! I should remember east is east, and west is west.... A southerner's error! Yes, you enjoyed the Vikings while we welcomed the Anglo-Saxons from Germany when the French and Spanish weren't invading!! What an interesting mix we are!
It's raining (of course) but relatively mild and my shopping trip went well in that it was quiet so I got around in record time. Muesli for breakfast and finishing my coffee then I shall walk George and Betty. I didn't put the car away as I planned to drive to the moors but the darker it gets the less inclined I am!
It's a Power of the Dog movie day I think, having missed watching Sunday night because I got engrossed in a Louise Theroux programme about him meeting right wing young white males in America that seem to have serious issues with every race, creed and gender that's not white and male! A tiny minority I'm sure but frightening in their own disturbed way as they apparently sit in their parents' basements shouting hate over social media. That had followed on from Call the Midwife that was upsetting too but I daren't say a word more about that!
Coffee finished and I can't put off our walk any longer. It'll take 5 minutes just to get waterproofs on! I might take a photo up there if I can see through the mist and low clouds.
Jackie0 -
Genuine mistake JACKIE! York museum has a recording of 46 dialects spoken in Yorkshire. Can you imagine! Ours is quite posh as compared to further north and west, lol.
More later, but I think I'm recovering after over 6 months of scratching and agonizing stabbing pain. Actually slept last night!!!!!!!!!!
What on earth is my little girl with a big boy bark barking at? Probably a marauding fox on the way home to bed after a night of terrorizing the local bunnies. Nature is SO cruel.
ANNE0 -
Hello friends. I absolutely have to get through the 3rd layer of stenciling for the upcoming cards today so I can move on to the next bit of making the cards. My hands have been cramping up quite badly when I do any extended period of inking with the small brush. So new approach today, 2 or 3 cards per hour, stretching out my fingers for a while after each card.
Jilly what have you been barking about? Anne, hope all is okay!
Jackie, the weather just sounds horrible. Glad you shopped early and your Muesli sounds yummy.
Patsy, your Valentine’s Day sounds lovely. ❤️❤️ You are doing well with those exercises. You are devoted. I am in awe!
Sandy, did I miss you?
Barbie, did the grooming go well yesterday?
It is a windy, dreary day here. I need to get my mail this afternoon. I have been letting it pile up in the box but I see I am getting some bills today. Must grab those.
Hugs.

Happy Wednesday! We have Lin's weather, warm at 48 degrees F but very windy. Tomorrow they predict a snow storm but can't be sure how much snow. They say anywhere from 6 to 12 inches but that probably means about 3 inches. Either way I don't think I will be going to meeting if weather is bad.
I am hurting from these new exercises but will not let it stop me from continuing, I don't think. lol
Lin, you beat me today. Good luck with the cards and don't get blown away getting your mail.
Anne, dogs are funny with their barking, they see or hear things we can't. On Facebook in one section they show funny videos. I love the ones with the husky which they make seem they are talking. Huskies make funny noises and the owners put in writings as to what they are saying. Here is an example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cRpEQZ4mN4
Jackie, I watched the Power of the Dog and although strange it is up for an Academy Award. I don't want to spoil anything but would like to hear your thoughts when done.
Patsy, I am more than impressed with your exercise routine. I use 2 pound weights and they are hard enough. I am doing crunches and presses and other types and can really feel it. Do you do your exercises daily? I am doing mine daily until my vacation or at least I am going to try pain or no pain.
I am sitting later this afternoon and hope the rains holds off until I get home. Have a great day.
Sandy

What a walk we had! When I parked I wondered what a terrible noise I could hear was and then struggled to open the car door because the wind was so fierce, and that's what was screaming through overhead electric cables. Running water, huge puddles, thick mud and a constant battering from the gales made it extremely difficult even walking on the lowest footpath. I paused to talk to a couple of passing walkers and we discussed the warnings for a nasty storm coming in on Friday with 100mph winds and agreed our dogs will have to put up with our respective gardens that day! After that it was a case of head down and keep walking but definitely no being knocked off the path! George and Betty did well and had a good sniff about but when we got home I had to fill the baby bath and stand George in to soak off the mud that was sticking to his tummy and paws. Fur between the pads had turned into solid stone so it took a while to gently cut it away.... me being terrified I would cut the wrong thing off! The usual zooms after a rub down but he was so wet I used my blow dryer and he's now snoozing on the spare bed while Betty lies snoring on the sofa!
Another gorgeous teapot Lin. That's a good idea to restrict the number of cards each hour rather than suffer cramping. I would never have imagined creating cards would be so physically wearing.
That's wonderful if you feel the itching is finally easing Anne. Lack of sleep can be so exhausting.
Aahh, battery about to die and Betty needs to go out
Jackie0 -
I started to watch the Power of the Dog this afternoon but after 5 minutes fell fast asleep on the sofa. I'm wondering if I should resume watching SANDY and so like you, await JACKIEs comments.
It's not often a movie has me falling asleep! but to be fair after numerous recent bad nights I am slowly catching up on the lack of.
ANNE0 -
Well my plan flew out the window. A friend called and talked on and on. Two hours behind now. And I do have arthritis in my hands which is causing the problems with this work. I use a lot of pressure on the brush to get a good dark bit of ink on the stencil openings. I have to go over them maybe 3 times like that to be finished with one panel. My hands have just rebelled.
Back to the tiny brush soon.
Sandy, I watch all the short Husky reels on Facebook and Instagram. Love them.
Jackie, argh, what weather. Glad you are inside now.
Anne, I hope you can catch up on some more sleep.
Lin🙋🏼♀️0 -
A rather dreary day day today. We were to have partly cloudy…I see totally cloudy from where I stand. Oh well, maybe later.
I did a few chores when I first got up. That is when I am most energetic. Things go down hill from there. As to my exercise routine, well! I always have good intentions to do my routine daily but, to tell you the truth, it averages out to about 4 or 5 times a week. From what the NIH says, that is a good exercise practice. They really only recommend three times a week but I am not that active during the whole week. I do a few chores daily but find it easy to plop down in my chair at any opportunity. (Baaaad Patsy!)
Do any of you take collagen powder or supplements? A friend is really recommending them. I read all the info and possible side effects. I just wondered if any of you take it. Reason tells me there is no special supplement to rebuild all my old joints. But who said I am reasonable? I think the best plan is to get out of this chair!
Sandy: cute video. Katie talks too. She grumbles at her displeasure. She laughs and sort of giggles when she plays jokes like stealing socks or kitchen towels. She also made up a game that she only plays with John. We call it monster tag. John growls and Katie runs like crazy around and around with her toy in her mouth. Then drops the toy at my feet. Strange game, but she made up the rules and it never changes.
Jackie: your weather is rather alarming. Our big trees fall over during a wind storm. They have a very shallow root system due to our high water table. They are top heavy and unstable during high winds. Do be careful. I wondered if you had the same issue. Katie is very fussy about her feet. I have to distract her with a treat while I clean her feet. Who trains who? I fear I am not in control of this situation.
Anne: a good nights rest is healing and helps the mood. I am so glad to hear you are at last on the mend. I am so sad to hear about Mark’s back. For years John suffered with back problems. Not sure how he cured it or treated the problem. My dad had two operations on his back. Each with limited success. I guess active people just have episodes that need to be treated with rest and some sort of pain relief like topical creams or non-addictive pain killers.
Barbie: Katie must be helped into our car as well. She is a big girl and John really has to heft this big girl into the back seat. But she loves going on rides until she understands we might be going to the vet. Then she starts talking to us about how much she doesn’t want to….
Lin: good idea to not strain you hands and fingers. I will often plan my creative projects that allow me to change areas and tasks. At some point change from cramped concentration with a tiny brush to stamping or using markers or affixing your messages. Advice from me to you, who is a practiced expert……wishing you well, my friend. I know how important these creative projects are. They are your creative voice.
Hello to all my dear sneakers, you know who you are 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Recently when I was lying awake all night I would listen to Jill talking in her sleep. Her throat noises are so distinct I find myself listening for actual words! I swear she is trying to talk human and her mumblings sound a bit like me!
I'm so sorry to read of PATSY and LINs aching joints. The weather here isn't helping and I actually creak when I stand up. Please don't overdo it SANDY! It became really warm today at plus 11 right now, but soon it changes to rain, freezing rain and finally snow overnight. Lovely!
What a tale from JACKIE out on them thar moors in Dudley! I've read that Britain has lost more than 1 million trees which is alarming when you think how small the British Isles are.
Anne. PS. Mark thought the Power of the Dog a weird movie so I think I'll give it a miss and try The Courier tonight which he thought better.0 -
The Courier, well that was a tad violent, lol. ANNE.0

Well, another exciting doggy walk fighting the elements! All seemed settled when we left home and then when I parked and we set off to climb a less muddy route to the top, although a man returning from his walk warned me it was soggy underfoot. We had walked some distance before I noticed dark skies to our west coming rapidly in our direction so decided, since we’d had such a long walk yesterday, to turn back. Just as well because rain arrived and was quite heavy as we got to the car so I towelled Betty and George sitting on their seats and when I felt hail hitting my backside, ran round to my side and clambered in! It was horrendous outside and I could see other walkers running across the moor to find shelter… rain, hail, wind, the lot, plus flood water pouring across the car park, so decided to sit tight rather than try to drive. Instead I phoned Chrissie who had called as I was driving to the car park first thing but I don’t have Bluetooth in my car so couldn’t respond. Excuse my big sigh but she is now apparently taking Amatriptyline, an anti depressant, day and night when it was actually prescribed to help her sleep nights so she’s now apparently groggy all the time and unable to do much of anything. In my usual no nonsense way I explained she’s taking too much but the answer to that was “oh well, I’ll get used to it”. At least in the time it took to walk before phoning her back she had found other volunteers to walk Bella today and tomorrow!
Once the storm passed I drove to the farm supply store and stocked up on food for the hens, a frozen pasty to pop in the oven this evening and a huge Danish pastry to enjoy with my afternoon cuppa. Of course that means I’m blowing any weigh in on Saturday Sandy!!
Anne and Sandy, you have managed to put me off watching The Power of the Dog for now but I’ll give it a go at the weekend, promise! I’m struggling to find anything that’s not dark or violent and even the usually excellent BBC dramas are becoming to weird for me. Perhaps it’s my age!! 🙃
Anne, instead last night, I watched Jodi Foster, the latest Dr. Who, in an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? She’s a west Yorkshire lass and I listened to her accent and see exactly what you mean about the different dialect. Her family history was fascinating and moving at times and I got to like her very much.
I love the talking Husky Sandy. Thanks for posting. I should have taken a video of Betty watching it as she sat next to me. Her big eyes became enormous as she stared at the screen but for once didn’t scream, as if she understood what was being said! George can be vocal, especially if he thinks it’s time for a treat, and makes those talking sounds rather than barking.
Storm Dudley has been and gone across Scotland and the north, now we wait in my part of the country for Eunice with her danger to life warning! No walking on the moors or anywhere tomorrow! 🌩⛈💨🌊😧
Housework this afternoon and nothing much else planned, except that Danish pastry!
Happy Thursday to one and all. Stay safe and warm. Rest those hands Lin!

:)Dog grooming went well. The girls were happy when we picked them up and made our next appointment for April. When we got home I sent the date to my friend who drove us over in her car and she said that she wasn't available that day because of a planned long weekend trip with her daughters. I worried about it all night but in the morning, Jake texted the groomer and told her that we goofed about the date and she offered us an appointment a week later. Problem solved but I worried about it all night.
Lin, your card making is amazing and I'm sure your friends and family appreciate every one. We got ah handmade card from our neighbor recently and loved it. Is there a way you can talk on the phone hands free and work on your cards at the same time?
Sandy, The best way to deal with those sore muscles is to keep doing the exercises. It will get better.
Jackie, I think I'd have to buy some more outdoor clothes to walk the dogs where you are. We get cold but not so much wind and rain. You and your pets are quite resilient.
Barbie1 -
Barbie, in Britain our favourite subject to talk about is our weather because it’s so changeable and just plain wet! The one bonus for all our rain is the green landscape but you’re right, cold is easier to dress for because not even so-called waterproofs always stand up to a constant battering. At least two sets are required.
Sleep tight tonight… 💤
Jackie0 -
Damn. I seem to have lost my less than interesting comments. So here we go again.
Not much except its horrible out there. I can't imagine even the ducks and geese liking "out there". Its rained and rained and so with snow banks melting we are warned of flooding. All is not lost, it all changes to soggy, wet, miserable, slushy snow this afternoon. But you know what, even with our below freezing temperatures I've felt much colder in the British Isles. The dampness I guess. I always used to say Brits may die of pneumonia but our complexions remain dew like as we lie in state.
That was one violent movie I watched yesterday. The heroine was not only beautiful, [she was The Courier], but she sure could pack a punch felling naughty bad guys left right and centre. I quite enjoyed it in a weird sort of way. I think I would like Jodie Foster as well JACKIE. Her real personality sort of shines through even as Dr Who.
Perfect weather for staying in and creating beautiful cards LIN and doing your "what did you call it SANDY." I can't go back to the last page, oh I remember, The Shred? And so glad all went well with the grooming BARBIE. I wonder what PATSY is up to, too early yet for her to report.
And so, seeing no one is going anywhere outside, except for my grocery delivery man who shot up the porch steps and down the porch steps to the comfort of his grocery delivery van earlier, I will see what else might be interesting on Netflix.
Have a great afternoon, early evening everyone,
ANNE.0 -
Happy Thursday! Still no snowing like predicted which made me decide to not go to meeting. It is a half hour drive and I didn't want to fight the elements. Opps, I just looked out the window and the snow has started, so I guess I made the right decision. I will do the shred again today as my muscles are feeling better as Barbie said they would. I still can't do jumping jacks or kick ups but I improvise and keep moving. Hope all this works but if not at least I am using some muscles that haven't been used.
Anne, it is a perfect day to stay in even if for just watching a movie. As far as Power of the Dog I only meant that is not about a dog like suggested in the title. It is a cowboy movie but very different but your son knows your taste so if he thinks you would not like it listen to him.
Barbie, yes I feel better today and will continue daily. I won't make 30 days as I leave March 7th but hopefully it will work by then.
Jackie, as I told Anne I just didn't want you to think it was about a dog. It is a strange but good movie if you like strange which I do. Sorry about you weather it sound awful. I too, love the talking dogs they make me laugh. I think Chrissie is making a mistake in taking that pill during the day but some people are so stubborn. I am glad you don't have to walk Bella today.
Hello to Lin and Patsy, I really have to get off this computer. Have a warm safe day.

Hello. The stenciling is thankfully completed. I was full of excitement this morning to move on to die cutting what I wanted to add to the front of the cards. But of course, not a smooth path. The delicate, intricate die would not cut through the card stock I was using. I tried adding a thin metal shim but nope, it still would not cut easily, even when running it through 3 or 4 times. Then it finally came to me, 🤦🏼♀️, when I used that die once before, I used 65 lb. card stock. The card stock that matched perfectly with the ink is 100 lb. card stock. Waaaay, too heavy for this wimpy little die. 😁 No 65 lb. card stock that is a color match for the greens I am using. Rethinking the design. I found a different die, cut out one piece, and didn’t like the way it looked. Moving on, I finally found a die that will work and it will cut through the 100 lb. card stock. I will cut out gold circles as well. Then cut and trim everything to the desired size.
So there you go, Part 2 of the process is underway. 👍🏻
I hate to say this but the storm missed us completely. The mess was South of our area. I feel so bad for those who are affected by yet another storm. Hang in there, we are getting closer and closer to spring. I know, cold comfort at best.
Anne, The M.C. Beaton books featuring Agatha Raisin are featured as movies on Acorn TV and some on PBS. Now, I do like the books so much and the movies are not great but if you can find them, they are wacky mysteries. So something a bit different to watch.
Jackie, just the descriptions of your weather makes my sinuses rebel! Wow! I don’t know how you live with the wet and damp. Maybe if I spent my childhood there, it would just seem normal. I saw some pictures of Dudley going though parts of Yorkshire. A very bad storm!
Barbie, thanks for the suggestion, I might try that some day!
I need to get back to my tasks. Be safe everyone.

Cloudy day with promised showers. However, while a bit chilly, not too bad. We here on the north coast have no idea how to drive on snow or how to deal with snow on our streets. No snow plows to speak of and I am not sure there in a real snow shovel in our whole county. We do know about relentless rain and dark wet, cloudy days for weeks on end! That is why I have “happy lights” all around the house as well as fairy lights on several of my house plants. When we lived in Alaska, I never put away my Christmas lights during winter.
As far as entertainment, we are finishing up that series, Killing Eve. I would say it is good for the most part. There are some episodes that are not great. I think that happens with most series. I think we might try Power of the Dog, just because it sounds unusual and I like the idea of film makers trying to flex their creative Muscles. As long as they don’t hurt animals or children. I’ll tolerate a little violence if it is necessary to tell the story.
Lin: I love the little dancing teapot person. What a charmer. You need to organize a handmade creative card art show.
Anne: so happy that those awful shingles are on their way out! I can well understand your reluctance to getting a booster shot. I have not heard of anyone getting shingles from it here but maybe there are different contents that could cause that to reappear. Stay safe my friend.
Jackie: you are a brave English lass to suit up and take your sweet doggies out on the moors each morning. Knowing my propensity, I would run the pups out in the garden, play a game of ball with George. Teach Betty to catch the frisbee and head indoors at the first sign of bad weather. I am a wimp.
Barbie: you are another wonderful doggie owner. The daily walks keep you and your pups healthy. I am not an early morning kind of person. I do admire those who are. When I must get up early, it is with an alarm clock. I seem to sit staring into a cup of coffee waiting for the brew to work it’s magic.
Sandy: glad you are attacking the shred carefully. My exercise program is geared for seniors and there are days when I can only do part of them. The weights are the hardest for me. I usually need good old rock and roll to help me through the session.
Tonight is tofu Berger with guacamole and chips.
Love and high hopes,
Patsy☘️☕️

Okay SANDY it looks like I had better give Power of the Dog another try. Judging by all the cattle milling about and the hats I figured it was a cowboy film before I fell asleep, lol. Set in New Zealand I think?
The snow's started here. 20 cm overnight.

Watched the Power of the Dog. Strange but I liked it and can understand why it's been nominated.
Waiting for JACKIES reaction. The beginning put me off, hence me falling asleep. I thought it would be just another Western.
