So busy

[susandennis]

This morning has been go go go. But, I think I've now got everything under control.

I finished the Thomas The Tank Engine pants and they are great except I hate pants in non-stretch fabric. So I already cut a test pair out of some knit fabric. I have a bunch of nice black knit fabric but I'm saving it for when I am sure the pattern is perfect in knits.

Then I cleaned up everything thing. I picked up this mess here. That mess there. And did the treadmill. Only 20 minutes but I still count it.

I went down to the garage to pick up my UPS package. When I got back to the lobby to take the elevator up, one of my neighbors was there waiting already. It was obvious from his plastic gloves and his demeanor that he did not want to share the elevator with any other human. Fine by me. We had a bit of a You Go, No You Go dance but we got there. When the door opened, 4 people and 2 dogs walked out. So... not everyone is taking it the same way.

The class of 1967's email continues. Someone decided they should hold a reunion on Zoom. Using the account of one of their husbands. (One noted that she attends AA meetings via Zoom which, honestly, sounds like the perfect application. I'd never thought about that.)

I decided to worry about food when I got to the bottom of the potato chips at lunch. Amazon Fresh was back to no delivery windows so I checked Safeway. They allowed as how Monday morning would work for them. So I shopped. 'Due to ...' they no longer let you edit the order after it's placed. You can cancel but not edit which is a bummer but ok. I've got it done now and will cancel if I have too many changes. They do have a way bigger inventory.

Time now for some more Billions.

Susan, off topic, but what do you use to read your library books? Ereader or tablet? I don't have either, and I've been thinking I may want one, as my book stack is getting smaller! Thanks, in advance :)

Turns out, most of my library books are audio. BUT when I get a 'word' book, my first choice is a Kindle version and then I use either my Kindle or a tablet. But some of my library's electronic reads are ebooks and not compatible with Kindle so then it's tablet or phone. (The tablet is really too heavy for me to use comfortably so it's last choice for me.)

Thanks for the input!

But does Safeway know to smash your eggs? How will you get that kind of service.

Hi Susan,

You are on a friends, friend list and I found myself nipping back to check up on how the puds (puddy cats) were doing so I have added you to my friend list, hope that is ok. I'm a fiftysomething Brit in Leicestershire. The photo is my previous darling boy Chester and the current master of the house Jasper is having a wash, probably cleaning off the blood of his latest kill. We live next to a racecourse (horseracing) so he has a huge hunting ground for rodents. He just likes to eat them inside and has a habit of leaving the bits he doesn't like on the carpet. So charming.
Glad Biggie is healing well, how many of those plastic things did the vet remove from him?
We also have trees in bud that are about to steal our view, I am a birdwatcher so love this time of year as I can SEE the birds on the branches, once the leaves arrive its so frustrating as I can hear the birds but can't find them. I have a question..if I sit and look out of the window for an hour I am most likely to see the following birds, I am curious what you would see where you are: European robin, wood pigeon, magpie, crow, dunnock, blue tit, great tit, greenfinch, goldfinch, starling and a green woodpecker.

Any questions about the UK, just ask. I'm not on the knitting and tv regime, just drinking tea and tv regime and I have just received episode 6 of Outlander :) as a child I lived in Scotland so i have a very soft spot for Jaime's accent.

Hi Alice and welcome!! My place is about a block from the ocean inlet and so we get seagulls and crows mostly. Yesterday there was this odd small bird that came onto the terrace but that's the first time I'd ever seen anything besides gulls and crows.

Hi,

Where are you geographically?

Jasper is preparing for C-19 by checking all the beds and sofas are comfortable, he is exhaustingly checking every one thoroughly. :)
Such a good boy !

I use Zoom a lot now, both for work and social activities (usually stitch and bit h sessions). I even joined a Zumba class that way last night. I’m pretty happy with it.
