    Rebecca, I love the flower dolls. A friend and I used to make them when we were in grade school. It is a delight to see the ones you posted.🌺

    I just had a nasty surprise. My computer was changed without my permission. Right now, it seems to be okay. Has anyone else had this happen? It seems to have been from Microsoft. I guess I’ll have to play with it for a while. I do not like surprises.

    Advice welcome.

    Last year I had trouble with microsoft. They wanted me to pay them another fee for their software on my computer. I don't use accounting programs but I do use Microsoft Word. It appears that I have had another visit from them. I shut down and reopened my computer and it seems to be working now. My second problem has to do with checking out electronic books through our library and amazon. I check out many books online via Library to Go. I may need to renew my library card. I will contact our library in the morning to see whether I need to update it.

    The estimate lady has been round to look at our hall and toilet. They have a gap tomorrow for the 10% April discount. She will send the estimate by email and we just have to pay the deposit and we are on for tomorrow. :D

    We will have to take sandwiches and water upstairs for the duration (a bit less than a day) because we will need a toilet. Won't be able to get out of the house, but that's fine. Last time they were amazing and created absolutely no dust! Bit noisy, but that's fine.
    It will be great to have it done!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Allie - Hopefully, they will be a lovely, pale sheen next time I post a photo!
    The painter can't come until July, because he is booked up, but we are making progress.
    I've also ordered two, new coir mats for the inside and outside. The outside one is a disgrace. It was there when we moved in. The inside one we bought, but it's grubby now and will look dirty on our lovely new floors. The outside one is large and has a tree on it and the inside one has a star. :D
    Excited now! I've paid the deposit.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Did Crunch Yoga Body Sculpt DVD then went for a walk around the block. Didn’t do the recumbent bike since I’ll save that for days when it’s raining out and I can’t go for a walk. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise but when I get home I do plan to walk at least around the block.

    Tracey – sounds like you had a heavenly day

    kylia – I admit that I’m probably one of the people you don’t like. I told them at Food Lion that I only wanted to work 4-4and a half-5 hours. I did tell them that I’m open to just about anything. At this point in my life, I feel that I have a good work ethic. I would be the one outside offering carts to people, talking to them, making sure there were carts in the store, going out into the parking lot to get them. Then after I’d get off work, the next person usually just stood there. No getting the carts, no making sure they were in the store, nothing. But I really don’t want to work more than 5 hours. I did tell them that 2 – 3 days/week worked for me. I’m not pickey about the days. I’ll adjust my exercise. But I don’t want to work more than 3 or possibly 4 days/week (prefer 3). It’s so sad to see so many places looking for work. At the soup kitchen they were talking about some restaurants that are closing one day/week because they can’t find help.

    Lisa – we leave our spa open all year. Of course, it isn’t vinyl. Do you have to close yours? We only close ours for the winter. Is your cover a solar cover?

    Barbara – we were planning to put the pool at the bottom of the stairs from the house in the back. But we weren’t able to since we are on a septic and that is the repair area. So we wound up having to put it behind the detached garage. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the pool is in the sunshine from about 9am to 7pm. If it was where we were going to put it, it would be in the shade much sooner.

    Bananas – I thought it was the J&J vaccine that had the issues with the blood clots. BREATHE

    Working on a jigsaw puzzle for down at the condo. I find that if I work for an hour, that’s about it, then I need to take a break, and go back to it in a bit. I’ll probably go back to it for an hour or so in a few

    Took two walks around the block

    Rebecca – I can just see you running around the house!

    Worked on the puzzle for a few hours and will probably work tonight on it some more. It’s coming along.

    Michele NC

    Michèle, like Machkas said, J & J and Astra Zeneca are similar. I believe Astra Zeneca is not authorized in the USA.

    Ginny, it looks awesome.

    https://www.scottsdalecamelback.com/monterey-studio-villa

    here is where we stayed a decade or so ago. we were upgraded to a little villa, since Arizona resorts are pretty empty in steaming august.
    I remember the bed being really comfortable and the little area being handy, hanging out at the pool a bit in the shade, and getting some amazing guacamole.

    Machka, awesome for the 9 day fortnight!
    It's a bit like that in France for many (not me as i'm a teacher). They have had 35 hour weeks for well over a decade, 7h a day, but in fact many people work 8h days and accumulate a half day every week, and save them up , more often to have long weekends, extra long vacations, or more vacations and so on. It seems to work well.
