DRINKS The tiniest dollop of milk in my coffee makes me sneeze and sniffle.
MUSICALS - I am not really into them now, but we had albums of lots of musicals when I was a kid and both my older sister and older brother were in musicals in high school. We knew all the words to all the songs in some of the musicals. So I like the music of some of the old ones more than the actual show i'd say. Ones that come to mind: from another era: Bye bye birdy, guys and dolls, Oklahoma! (I think my sister and brother played in those in high school) Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar. (very hip and trendy when I was a young kid).. and a few top songs from others.
FOOD DELIVERY - I pick up bits from time to time during the week and go about every week or two for to go shopping live, but have them deliver stuff. Free delivery for over 50 euros which is very easy to get to.
HEATHER that is a good does of tea! I think I would not be able to sleep well If I I drank a lot of tea. Nice picture of the family!
BARBARA glad Joe seems better after the visit with the acupuncturist. coffee meet-ups are great in their simplicity and brevity!
MACHKA people are going to jail for not respecting confinement? I have not heard of that here. There have been fines here. That is a short lockdown! I can't quite see the point of such a short one, since there is some delay between catching and developing. Our 1st lockdown was 2+ months and the 2nd one was basically 7 months (all restaurants closed for visit for about 6 or 7 months).
CHERI Congratulations ! nice pictures!
KYLIA I'm sorry about your daughter not giving you news about the kids' events, and them not paying for house (?) how nice for the fish gift. I would love that!
ALLIE Enjoy the wedding!
MICHELE that seems unusual that they had you over and made dinner for selves and you didn't get to say good night. I'm sorry they don't come to visit. When was PJ born again?

a lot of work on Saturday - some wierdness and stress to deal with.
Lovely day off on Sunday. I hesitated, but went to friends' place for dinner: family of 5 with 3 relatively young kids (ages 4 to 13) plus 4 visitors they could pick up from station in car.
Long leisurely lunch and then walk in forest and then train back. I was beat and crashed at about 9pm. Then woke wide awake at 3am. I listened to some relaxation music online but sleep is not coming back. We had coffee at about 4ish maybe which I usually don't do and that may have influenced the extra early wake up.2 -
I got my stitches out after 10 days and can now take a bath! I was missing that!4

Our bin strike is beginning to affect us. The bins are chock full. The huge piles in the street in town are being dealt with by private contractors, but we are getting a bit desperate out here. No piles yet but ...... They are supposed to be having a 3 day amnesty but I don't know if they'll get round to emptying us.
The cleaner comes today for the first time in a month and I will have to put the wastepaper bins stuff in the garage.
Then I have a scheduled phone call with my friend who had the hip replacement. She is still in a lot of pain.
I slept badly last night. Too much excitement from the kids plus getting to the very last stages of my book. I will take it slowly.
Baby steps.
We miss the kids already. Felt very quiet this morning.

17: Take a small step towards a positive change you want to see in society: remember to be respectful even when disagreeing.
18: Set hopeful but realistic goals for the week ahead: minutes, email new grant writers, get out that rain gear and keep making it easier to take vitamins, walk dogs and dance.
Heather, his smile says it all. Happy Birthday Johnny!
Lisa your favorite musicals are mine too, except I’d add West Side Story. Brigadoon is a real fave but yes to On a Clear Day… I still hear “Come Back To Me!” when I’m whisking anything.
Katla ah yes, Covid, another reason I should not have felt obligated to invite acquaintance inside or offer lunch. (forehead smack). “paper tp” :laughing:
Beth OW!
Rebecca you tip for carryout service? Yikes, I've never thought to do that. Oops.
Vicki fingers Xd your new hire works out.
Mary, sorry, unfamiliar with android phones. Found this in mfp help “Currently Android does not support uploading photos.”
: https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032624231-How-to-post-a-photo-in-the-forums Sounds like Kylia has a work around, pic from android phone to facebook, then from laptop facebook to mfp? No reflexologists nearby here. :{
Heather do you use the mfp app on your android or do you go in via the website?
Machka what about people who, like we do, live more than 5 km from town?
Pip whose tummy is that? Ah it was puppy Floyd. Impressive housecleaning burn, you and Kylia.

Tracey 300 snow couple ornaments? Well done!!!
Michele ((hugs))
Julie hooray for having stitches out!
For the third day in a row, Joe walked Shadow to the mailbox and back. He said it’s getting easier already. I am so impressed with him and grateful for the change.
Lighter, lovelies!

I imagine they would do like we have done for the past 3 days ... stay home.
We have not left our yard in the past 3 days and haven't minded a bit.
We all had 4 hours to get supplies if necessary, before the lockdown started. And I would hope that most people have enough for 3 or 4 days. But if not, then there is the option of delivery.

My Grandfather was adamant that it was a terrible decision. I can’t remember all of his reasonings but #1 was that paper breaks down and could be disposed of without affecting the environment and plastic would never be good for it. His other reason was that it was putting affecting a whole industry. Forests don’t grow without cutting, thinning and planting again. He would be laughing about the changes being made now.
Yes, and there are always off-cuts, sawdust, etc. Bags aren't made from good quality trees.
My husband was very pleased that our groceries are now delivered in paper bags. He can shred them, like he does with all the paper products we want to dispose of, and use them as mulch. Shredding the paper means we don't have much rubbish. Both our recyclables and regular rubbish go out every other week.Snowflake1968 wrote: »We sold one ornament yesterday. This market is just getting started, I’ll continue with it as it doesn’t affect my time at all except for a few minutes every Saturday morning. I can do it from the comfort of my new chair. I don’t have to lug everything to a market, sit there all day and then not have a sale.
Tracey in Edmonton
Is the online market available all week or just one day?

Ah, I see. I use the app.0 -
I don't use the app because it had too many shortcomings. I use the actual website so I was able to post this photo of Bernie 3 -
Bin strike over! We hope.
The council are voting on an agreed deal with the union tomorrow. Thank goodness. It was getting really difficult.
Final edits went well this morning. I keep remembering things to put in. Very nearly there.
Happy with my work.

M We can either shred our paper bags and put into our own compost pile or there is a special bin at our leaf compost site that take kitchen scraps and brown paper products. I did they food scraps for a time but then I had trouble with insects. In our bin I put banana peels, coffee grounds, egg shells, and some veggie scraps and some brown paper. The rest of the bags, toilet rolls, and egg cartons I take to the composite site.
It was a busy week with having friends over for one last eat out outside. Son's house is perfect for this. He has a great deck right off the kitchen facing the south side. I have an outside umbrella if the sun is too intense. My friend and I stayed outside until the shade from pine tree next to deck shaded the deck. Then sat in sun room in front of house. I set up my portal massage cushions in this room too. She calls the house my spa house. She also like how I rearranged the bedroom. It appears twice as big. Watching Sell this House for ideas. I am starting to put away things in getting ready to paint Kitchen. It is amazing how much roomier it appears by just clearing spaces.
I cleared the kitchen desk first. I look at it to inspire me to continue clearing. DH will set things down on it because there is a space. I quickly move whatever it is and explain no extra stuff zone. He is quick to complain about all my stuff yet turns a blind eye to his own piles.0 -

Margaret ~ I feel for you concerning you DH's stuff taking up space. At this time, our dining room and living room are completely covered in my DH's stuff. I just try to not look at it when I pass through.
Question: Does anyone but me not like all the "pumpkin" things that are so much in the news this time of the year?
I grew up on sweet potato pies and not anything pumpkin. Did decorate them when my son was small.

Had a lovely long conversation with my friend this afternoon. I made her laugh a lot, which is the best medicine for pain. :laugh:
Cleaner has gone. House quiet. DH listening to music in his study.
Breathe. Ahhhhh.
