    In the context of a table leaf, what is the correct plural term, "table leafs" or "table leaves"? Per Merriam-Webster's online dictionary either is a correct plural for the word leaf. There is no differentiation between the usages. The usage of the word for part of a table is that it is suggestive of a leaf. Hence, it follows the same usage.

    Machka ... I heard on today's news that Australia plans to ban international travel until mid 2022!

    Yep! :)

    Works for us! I doubt we'll even be able to leave Tasmania, because of my husband's accident and WC situation, until then.

    Somehow it feels better knowing that no one can leave the country. :)

    Back to work today. Catching up with emails etc.

    I'm also catching up with stairs. I'm in a stair climbing challenge and lost a week because I was home all last week. Now I've got to climb more to catch up!!

    Good Monday,
    Plants are in the ground. Gutters and roof top cleaned out/off. Went to Costco. Took a 2 hour nap. Apparently, I needed naps this weekend ;) Never made it to the grocery. Not fretting about that though. Will go next week when we get back. Feel like I was unproductive, but I reckon that is okay occasionally.
    Family resemblance is definitely strong in my family, I agree! I was happy to see that my youngest daughter and family went to baseball tournament with oldest daughter and her family this weekend. It is good for them!
    I reckon since I am now caught up here again and it is early morning, I should do some work stuffs.

    Will check in later.

    Did Power Yoga DVD and then walked. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise.

    Kylia – ever year I string popcorn to put on our Christmas tree. Yes, you read right. But….if I do it now I can do it on my deck before the pool is ready (warm enough) to use. And pieces that break off are blown away by the wind and the birds eat them. This way, I don’t have to clean up. Am I lazy or what….lol?

    Katla – how great for you that that restaurant only changed its name. Wonder why they did that?

    Streaming services: Vince has this “thing” against them so we don’t have any. Doesn’t bother me a whole lot since I don’t watch a lot of TV. I record a few shows and it usually takes me a few months to get caught up.

    KJ – that was very nice of you to go to that woman’s house.

    Cool today but I’m wearing shorts.

    I'm like an ant on a hot rock - can't settle to anything. The kids and grandkids will be here about noon or one p.m. (four to five hours from now) and I keep doing another round of the house trying to toddler-proof at least some areas. Much of that will simply be a shut door--and I'm pretty sure he's able to open doors by now, too.

    I think I'll leave the house here in a little - if I stay here, I'll be even more whack-a-doodle by the time they get here.

    Welcome to those who are new to us, we're glad you're here! Drop into the conversation anywhere, you'll be welcome.

    Love,

    The clearout went extremely well. I had steeled myself to chuck nearly all of it into the tip. 100s of them. Although they are wonderful paperbacks, the print is tiny and I know we will never read them again. I've kept school prizes, my old religious books, and books I loved as a child. Plus a couple I think the kids might read. It was lovely to rediscover all the foreign language versions of the children's books I wrote. Max might be amused by the Spanish version of Well I Never! CARAMBA! I will try and read the German versions of the two Herbert books. :D
    I also weeded out some good quality crime and historical thrillers that I've just posted on Freecycle.

    I expect they will go quite quickly. We buy the hardbacks as presents to each other. :D

    Then DH rang a clearance company who are coming on Wednesday morning to give an estimate. If they are not too expensive they can take it away immediately. We have about a quarter of a garage full of junk.
    Feels so good!

    Barbara: I am delighted that things are moving in a better direction. We even got to eat inside a restaurant. We needed to bring along a photocopy of our vaccination record cards. We sat indoors with no social distance worries as everyone in the restaurant had to show a photo of their vaccination cards. Ours are on our iphones. Masks were not required for those who had proof of vaccination. :bigsmile: :star:

    Michele: I didn’t ask about the Thai Restaurant’s name change, but I suspect it had to do with their previous lease. They were unable to open their doors for a very long time due to the pandemic and the business closed. I suspect they negotiated a new lease with the landlord and changed the restaurant name in the process. Just guessing on my part. :ohwell:

    Heather: I have shelves of old books—including Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons complete series. I happily read books that I love again & again. I only throw out or donate books that I don’t enjoy. I read many electronic books through the public library at no cost. :smile:

    YOGA TODAY!!! This will be my second class since lockdown. Our Friday yoga class was fully masked. I am planning to go to Yoga this morning. I wonder whether the photo of my vaccination card will be sufficient. I'll take a mask with me in case the photo will not be sufficient there. I’ll find out later this morning. :heart:

    These are some of the fun stuff I picked up Saturday- look forward to trying my new packs and really look forward to going back. This store is at least as big as a Costco if not bigger- So much amazing stuff (and great prices- the Russian ones were just .59, the others were a dollar or close to it. I really want to check out the German section and what ever else I missed.

    Annie==Sending lots of hugs and prayers. It's hard when our parents get older and have to depend on others than each other.

    Allie--Did they explain why they cut your refund? Sorry to hear about your friend. Sending hugs and prayers.

    Lisa--sounds like your farmer's market is working out well for you. I know I enjoy stopping at them and getting things.

    Flea--Glad you were not hurt any worse in your fall. I understand what you mean about one thing hurts and to make it feel better something else hurts. My knees are really hurting and having trouble walking much as I hit them on the way down. My bursing looks so much worse than it is.

    Debbie--It is family that can and do hurt us the most. I pray your sister can put your mom first and do the right thing. Sending hugs and prayers

    Kylia--I also have been stressing a lot about cleaning and getting rid of things. I have made up my mine to do one closet or cupboard at a time maybe once or twice a month. At least I have a plan(just came up with this Saturday middle of the night, when it was all I could think about).

    Pip--Sorry to hear about your dog walking friend. Sending hugs and prayers.

    Tracey--So exciting about getting your table. When will it be arriving?

    I had a very relaxing weekend. Went to see our neice and new baby. He was born almost 2 months early, but home and doing well. So tiny. Went to church yesterday and then cleaned some at home and got things ready for the work week. I have Monday-Friday 10-11 hours each day. Have a department meeting today at 5pm. Should not last long as not a lot to talk about, but higher ups says we have to have them.

    Enjoy your day. Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE <3

    Katla -
    It hurt me to get rid of the books but I feel lighter now. I hated consigning them to the dump. 100s of beloved books but in reality they are only paper. We read almost everything now on our Kindles and couldn't possibly read the tiny print of the paperbacks. If I need anything it is immediately available online.
    I love a decluttered space. I feel freeer. DH is visibly happier to have them out of his space. Over the last few years we have got rid of thousands of books. I feel little need for old novels now. I am thinking of my heirs. I did salvage an old bible that belonged to my ex's dad as a child with a lovely old address in it. A house called "Enderley ". <3 Reminds me of Manderley in 'Rebecca'. I will give it to my son. I hope he appreciates it.

    Had fabulous peppers stuffed with chilli tonight with amontillado sherry to celebrate ridding ourselves of stuff.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxx

    I got my estimated taxes mailed in, and flea and tick stuff on the dog. Feeling a little off today. Spending too much time lazing around with my phone. Now that I'm vaccinated, I should find a place to volunteer. Someplace without too many people! Otherwise I just sit around and wait for the next meal.

    Went to the gym with husband this morning, and didn't whine. Put on disco music on Pandora, with ear buds in, and walked a 3.4 pace with a 1.0 incline. Did 2 miles. 263 calories burned. I do it in a fasted state. Feeling lean! Today's feast is 4 street taco tortillas, some spaghetti sauce, olive bruschetta, black olives, diced tomatoes and mozzarella shredded cheese. Little mini pizzas👍. Was going to add shredded fresh spinach, but only so much stuff can fit on those suckers.
