  🛍 .... the ' boro report. sunny and Eternal Blue w / chance of rain very low [ I think ]

typing in the window and coffee just finished burbling

and the test is in the testing, a 7. 

I slipped out for party food. For Monday, fish sticks, veggy spring rolls and appetizers in crust.

Not the whole shebang but a start

Read a review of C14+. The keyboard was judged better than average.  Back lighting. Yes. Screen pops yes.
and some limitation of ability to run apps [ games ? ]

my exercise app, has been updated, approx 7 months ago. The Wahoo app now asks you to categorize your workout. Hard, easy ......... and add the comments to a log. I answered once but stopped at logging on.
so. today, the workout was tiring mentally. I chose between a nap and workout. I am guessing that I did the minimum but made the 35 min and the 400 Kcal, goals. Actually, I exceeded both.
Finishing w/ half a can of Kostrizter, Edel Pils. BTW there is a double dot over the ' o ' .

I await the arrival of new slippers. No, there is wear left on the current ones but I think that they smell, not nice either. I decided that washing might work BUT Amazon Prime day had 35 reduced to $ 25. Yeah, sucker here

follow up.
the day was entirely as advertised.
the coffee was at least a 7
fish sticks are tasty
slippers arrived and are magic. wide toe box, cushy insides

the neighbour lady de weeded the front ' flowerbeds ' [but there are no flowers ]. Later she will mulch. Normally, she works indoors tidying and cleaning the house. But the cleaning service comes on Monday. Thus, we offered the outside work which she had agreed dto. Her son runs a landscaping service and there was / is a chance that one of her part time jobs besides us would be landscaping.

  ⮔ ...... the view shows muted light and a sky that is cloud. not bad for work. rain chance should be small
coffee and typing in the window seat. coffee is from the thermos, so 1 day old

today s symbol is arrows in a counter clockwise motion

 another slow day, wait, do we have fast days ???? slipped out for beverage and vitamins
what a combo.
joined another club or store program at Healthy Planet, where an attendant came over and asked if she could help
yes, please, Answered all my vitamin questions. slightly expensive products but ..... the right stuff

💸 the 2 five of jun

  💸  .... and reporting rain, overnight and a cloudy view out the window, early day for us, coffee is burbling  .... and typing to the void

I hope the brew is a winner. My morning method is to microwave a 1/4 C of water.
The coffee goes in the filter w / the hot water mixed in and waiting a bit, turn on the coffee maker.
Otherwise,  the coffee maker sends that first water thru as it is beginning to warm. Then the coffee grounds sit in lukewarm water and the first bloom is weak. 
What proof that the change works, none.

Ah, coffee is stratospheric ! 

a compromise. rather than go for a ' powerwash ' on the Duet, I opted for a ' safety reset '. Last night, frustration set in w / the Duet.
Duet was slow and glitchy [ or I was, never can tell ].
Safety reset does what - " if your device is acting up, you can use the built in system menu '

So. Better ? I'm going to say yes, b /c I'm a coward and also hoping for the best

We shall see said the Zen Master
back on the C14+ typing, and its not fair to compare. but the Duet was less troublesome after the ' safety reset '.
Important b / c it will be the backup machine til 2030. 

Interestingly, both machines were hyped as ' ARM' devices, better able to handle Chrome OS or Plus and running MediaTek Companio processors [ the cat s miaow ]. The Duet never caught on here. 
C14+ however, boasting of the MT 910 chipset, did / does.

💒 two 4 Juin

  💒 .... tea for two ... or ... twofer and yes June is slipping away.

coffee, Si senor. Typing, aussi Si Senor. outlook, beauti. Green outside and sunny and the Eternal Blue Sky 

I want to say that there has been a shift in the running of the house. not subtle but more people are coming to the house. the PSW s are here, Tues thru Fri, one hour but here. the neighbour is scheduled for 2 - 3 h on Saturday. Plus the new arrangement for weeding and mulching

and I am much more relaxed ... except, I cannot imagine ' me' relaxed. I tend to wound up more or less always. I over think and then overthink .... the overthink

a bit of grocery shopping after a pedicure - thank goodness, that guy can bend over my toes. He doesn't even hesitate, clip, clip. His eyesight is better too, right.

🥻23 of Jun

      🥻 ... coffee stopped just now, the view is sunny and the Eternal Blue. summer scene out there

alright coffee it is
rate the coffee ..... we have an eight
shortly, out the door to buy bagels at Simit, up the street. Wholesale bagels [ they do large orders and sell the rest to peeps] We have a guest dropping by and lunch is bagels and fixings

and much to my ignorance : there is a new more adaptatable method for calculating Heart Rate Zones
the old traditional way was 220 - age and multiplied by 70 % or 80 % [ the typical boundaries for Avg Heart Rate ] during a workout.
the new improved estimate is 208 - .7 [ age ] times the 70 % or 80 % boundaries

much to my chagrin, the ' new ' way raises the values. 
however, my ultimate decider was always ' a good sweat ' 
that will not change. 

Bagels were a hit w / all. And the price is remarkable as well - 6 for $ 5

Oh. Or new house helper will do weeding too.

Not my favourite job.

👔 XXII of VI

  👔 ... this is the ' boro 2.0. or whatever you want
early, up at 5 AM and awake.
coffee and typing. looking out on a quiet, gray scene

re arrange the ' re arrange '.
our new cleaning helper, swept and wiped the floor in the living room / cafeteria / entertainment hub [ alright, we do everything in that space ], on Saturday.
she centred the area rug and centred the plastic rug protector and the round table. harmonious and aligned.
BUT the original arrangement allowed the plastic protector to align w / the rug edge, then a separate mat butted up to the protector, hence crumbs etc would fall on the plastic / mat. saving the area rug
yep, back again to the way we had it. It was a tryout and did not do the job

I'm trying to get by w / 1 1 / 2 cups of coffee as c.f. 4 or so. We had a guest and there wan't s much coffee in the thermos. instead, I'll try tea

I decided to garden, by trimming the front bush. Massively overgrown. Hedge trimmer and lots of raking - likely 20 lb of branches, twigs and greenery. However, the result was satisfying

don't think that this is an everyday event. Likely, on the order of monthly - maybe.

🏓 XXI in juin

  🏓 ..... sunny, Eternal Blue is all. beauti morning

I'm mobile today. C14+ is on my lap. I'm in the living room multi tasking. Airing sheets, breakfast, doing a small white load, watching ' My Life is Murder ' and typing. Coffee and tomato on toast - the backyard is a woody glade

Also, a visitor is due in 40 minutes. Quite the start to the day.

airing the sheets is really the comforter and cover. recall, the actual duvet is silk filled and cannot be machined ' anything '. Air and fluff, do not beat or scrunch or the silk will break up

on the theme.  how is the Nordic individual duvets going. the jury is out. sort of making it work. not real solid on the long term possibilities. The temperature fluctuations are difficult to figure each night. e.g. last night was ideal, the duvet was warm and convertible - the duvet is light and comfortable

follow up, small white load is based on a white shirt that was $ 3 on the rack, its a formal dress shirt cufflinks and stud holes on the front. I am getting it ready, in case, our visitor will iron the shirt for me.  Live in hope 

Yes. Newer white dress shirt is ironed, cuffs and all. A ... claimed that the dress shirt was an easy iron and felt good 

and sitting, typing in peace. exercise is over.   it s not horrid, as you know, much reduced in intensity - simple goals Avg BPM 111 - 116 and 400 Kcal plus a good sweat. I'm reading / learning that much of the handicap of aging is range of motion e.g. if you don't reach out as in max then your muscle memory is the limit that you settled for .

Truth is once that you have limited your motion - stretching out is tough
