Up to the Letter ' R '

 เฐ‹ the telugu vocalic letter ' R '

a gray day, a stirring of the remaining leaves is happening out our window.

bear w/ me, I'm going to tell you of the view.

Far left is the corner of the neighbour s house. The silver leaf dogwoods make a loose border about 30 ft from the window. There are sentinel pines as you swing right. In the background are the trees of the slope of the ravine. And next a wall, that is now a full year old. The right side is dominated by the furthest pine. 

I thought that to appreciate some scene that it is best to share. And there is the danger of taking that view for granted. No one else does. Many have commented on the way the lookout makes them feel.

Country
Peaceful
a slice of the wild [ home to mice, raccoons and foxes, deer

except we are the only ones that actually see the wildlif

And I have a recommend. I'm watching prime video and found a new offering a series called The English w/ Emily blunt who is kind of cute.A little violent though and lots of racial inequality. This is not the ra ra look at the wild West didn't we do great things out there instead? It's pretty realistic

๐•ผ this is ' Q ' ?

๐•ผ Yes, this mathematical bold fraktur

in English,  ' huh ? '

The forecast is rain all day, so of course the sun came out and the sky has blue patches

Well decision time.

 Do we put up the big fake Christmas tree or do we put up the little Christmas tree with its revolving multicolored lights? So many decisions.

 I guess it's just a matter of,  you know how much effort we want to go through. Well let's just say the vote right now says

 " let's put up the little tree and make do"

. We are going away in the new year. Too much trouble w/ the 6 footer

Thanks! To Pixel dictation services

Day was cool to cold but a winner. Then around 3P the temperature dropped and still is falling.

Remembrance Day

๊ฉ‡ , the Cham letter finial for ' P '


Hi

 so we've got 5:30 in the morning and I'm waiting for the coffee to perk. I guess I'm up the day starts.

 Can I start? I don't know. Anyways, we shall see what we shall see. Thanks!

I suppose that somehow, Remembrance Day or Veteran s Day meant something

However, 3 years ago, we stood in the underground bunker where Winston Churchill stood on the last day ' of the Battle of Britain '. Calling "the morning of September 15, 1940 the Battle of Britain Day, acknowledges that after a months long desperate air struggle between the RAF and the Luftwaffe, something broke.

As we looked up at the " big board " we saw no green lights. You see that morning every fighter was airborne - no reserves.

The Luftwaffe lost so many planes [ and crews ] that the High Command could not envision surviving if they continued.
Thus, the Battle of Britain, ended. The skies over their Island home of Britain were secured !  

Would the ' far flung colonies and member states of the Commonwealth and their allies ' have continued the fight against Germany [ and Italy] ? Who knows !

But the September morning, ' never have so many, owed so much to so few ' spoke Churchill.

Lest We Forget

เฎ’ ' Oh, what a Beautful

 เฎ’ the Tamil lettter 'O '

...... morning Apparently, the rising sun brings hope

 " hope is never mere " [ from ' rings of Power ' ]

" rebellions are built on hope " [ from ' Rogue One ' Star Wars ' ]

last night, a special show on the ' crypto ' internet or /

'the de - centralizing of the internet '

I wanted to learn but

they dumbed it down, maybe not enough,  I can pretend to understand

they showed the theory w/ examples, using little boxes and simple symbols

they could have put the 16 character box up there but .....

nope, not a clue

The wind is up and leaves are flying, sideways and going East.

 Basically that's it for the warm weather. I think we've got cool, rain even cold times ahead. They're even talking about snow. I guess it's November and we are about do.

เตป, ' N ' is for nutterbutter

 เตป this is the Malayamaylim ( ? ) styled ' N '

Nutterbutter is excessive. Love them !

Well, I'm up at 6 AM, flet like typing.

The day is cool to cold.The wind is a factor, gusting enough to swirl the ground cover. But crisp is the word.

So, in a self absorbed effort, I'm concentrating on furthering my weight control program. I'm controlling carbs. Especially, bread. Asking beforehand, ' do you really need that '. 
And substituting,

 Matzo crackers. You see, the sale said ' Streitman's Passover Matzos Wafers ' regular $4.99 now ' $ 0.99 '. OK, how cheap can you get ?

The wafers are the sheets of crackers, unleavened and about the flavoufulness of re - constructed sawdust. But if you are going to snack !, Well, less salt [ none ] and very little oil.

' Desperate times, desperate moves ' !!!!

Of course, I am hoping to become gleeful and exuberant, as I lose the 5 # [ 10 ? ]. However, for pure health reasons, makes sense.
Did you know that I won't cut out beer ? The thought process says ' cut out everything and you'll quit ' out of frustration.

Reduce cookie consuption and smaller amounts at each sitting.

We shall see said the Zen Master

Every once in a while, I wish that this would happen :


Alas, if it did

I missed it. Figures

Right

๐” bringing you the letter ' M '

 ๐” this version is called Mathematical Fraktur

The day opens w/ clear skies   [ maybe, the window view isn't exatly wide open ]. However, a relatively peaceful day in store.
Our adventure, was medical. M.. s back has been suspect and added to that her balance is poor and a shakiness in the hands.

Our appointment was w/ ' physiologist '. Well, it turns out that the guy was a ' traffic cop ' of doctors.
Lets do these tests b/c things like this overlooked.   But primarily,  we '' do X rays and cortisone injections but you need to see some other specialists.

Wow ! talk about confidence building

This weather turned out pretty good. Cool, but sunny w/ a bit of chill in the air

 "" and the cold weather is on its way. They're calling it a Colorado low bringing much colder air to Southern and Northern Ontario.

 But as well the tropical storm building in the south Atlantic is also going to draw this cold air and rain w/ snow further north. That's our weather for the next 5 days. ""

BTW . The two paragraphs immediately above were actually typed by pixel. It's voice dictation ssyste made my speech into the text that you see.

 so I typed with my voice.

 neato eh !

ใ„Œ We are at the letter ' L '

 ใ„Œ this is the Bopomofo [ or Zhuyin } letter ' L '
Allows the transliteration of Mandarin

A sunny and warm day arrived w/ fairly gusty winds.

Shopping early to the Supercentre and household chores and inspection of the cathedral ceiling.

Thus, yesterday, I did my Sunday AM weigh in [ to see how bad thing are getting or staying ]. Well, for the first time in at least a year and a half, likely longer, I weighed in under 180 # [ 179.4 ].
What does this mean?  Good.
I have been monitoring my food choices and amounts, slightly more assiduously. Realizing, this result was once and not a trend. I was 182.4 # about a week ago. 

Keep up the good practices. 

We shall see said the Zen Master

A sidenote concerns your weight or people s weight.
My observation has always been ' I'd lose the weight [ 10 # ] if I knew thin people that are happy '
I'm sure that there are but the real question ' if I'm slightly pudgy, am I happy '
would I ever be happy

I worry. I fret. I obsess. What a frickin' mess, OMFL
