#2992 is the post number < dogged, relentless blogging to the ether >
We got Easter greetings from Ashford, Middlesex. And a delightful offer of a fabric swatch.
This marvellous design was discovered by Aunty B. Previously, she gave us a ' oriental ' motif table coaster that we promptly hung. The offer is to do the same w/ this one < a wall hanging ? >
Not that it was needed today but here is Lehman s ' icon ' from their daily:
Enjoy 🎲 < thats games that they are highlighting >
well, it doesn't ache but the tooth is tender
Pressure makes the dull ache more noticeable.
Weather holds w/ sun and warm - ishness
Back some years ago, at the Academy Awards ' Avatar ' won for best picture. I mentioned to M that years from now, Avatar would be a faint memory. The loser was ' Lord of the Rings - Return of the King '
I felt that LOTR would be resounding success years later.
NO. A distant trivia question - that s all it is. I'm a huge fan but even for me. Its OK but a nice DVD to have on hand and thats the sum total of its longevity. Oops !
the week is the warmest in a while. The average temperature is 55 - 60
InboxInboxAnd its drilling day in my mouth - a reprise of last Monday. One root to dig out to save the upper tooth.
The CV 19 news is dismal. Sligtly more people vaxxd but ICU numbers are brutal. As if they were anything but.
So, 1 1/2 h in the hair w/ the plastic dam in my mouth. Hunting for a hidden nerve channel. Success !. Now, a post annd crown. And the future is problematic b/c the tooth is a shell. Treat it badly and it will crack
We shall see said the Zen Master
Notice ! that guy has an answer for everything

Does this mean ' not normal ' or with error
Acrually, its the ' Irregulars ' a Netflix spin-off from Sherlock Holmes. The main characters roam the streets dodging eveything earthly and non earthly. Holmes and Watson are secondary but involved < in dubious roles >.
Weatherwise, we go for 65 F today and in fact the lowest temperature all week is 55. And not a lot of rain forecast.
In the news, woe of CV 19 and variants are top. Oh, the price of lumber is high.
Sun. Little breeze. Loverly day
Job1 : clean the range grates on the gas stove
while your at it, the baking pans
plus the burner lids on the stove top
Easy - Off sprayed outside on the items on a plastic sheet < really those fumes are killer >
Job 2 : lube the crank out window in the bedroom. And you don't use WD 40 b/c it can work but it is a ' water displacement ' product. Loosen rusted bolts etc. A spray grease is far better b/c it does lubricate the crank. And a silicon spray even better < more expensive too >
And lastly, pick up dinner at Swiss Chalet chicken restaurant. 2 - 1/4 chicken dinners + appetizer + pie
AND at 6:20 PM next door dropped off dinner b/c I had taken half a pan apple dessert over yesterday. They brought DINNER - the whole shooting match
been there
done that
Except ...... as a crimefighting duo when one invents a way for them to get superpowers.

Yesterday, we did our taxes by phone. I had dropped off the paperwork. And the accountant gave us the skinny on how we did in terms of owing. The total owing was $155 for the two combined. YES ! A Victory over the forces of evil..........
See. Same plot. Unfortunately, no superpowers.
A lousy investing climate overall for us. Our portfolio is swing resistant but grows slowly sometimes. Steady Eddie is our motto.
Its a monthly income fund and everytime that I look and see how little it grew - say over two months
I gotta remind myself - it bought and paid for our cottage
which is now an income earning mortgage that we hold
of course, as cottage country prices rose some 20 % year over year.
The new owners may have doubled their equity in 3 years
' Remo Williams, the Adventure Begins ' is an old movie ( 1980 ? )
I did my version this morning. I caught chubs this week in the creek down the ravine. However, on the fourth cast, I hooked a branch on the opposite side of the creek. True to form - that was. I snapped the line and lost a fly and a float and 2 ft of line. For the safety of the birds and b/c I'm cheap - I took the limb cutter pole and went after the float.
OK Down the slope, and over to the spot. Cut the branch and retrieved the whole mess. Crawled back up the slope using the pole to balance.
Dada ! Bob s your uncle. Then in the garage, put my hand in my pocket to get the float etc and put the hook into my finger ! That is kismet for sure
Alright - safe and slightly punctured, licking my wounds < really ! had to sop up the blood drops > and celebrating over a cup of yesterday s coffee.
So, how was your morning ???
according to Elvis P
Well, he didn't mean our Premier. Through political biased decisions and dithering, he got caught mucking about. Restaurants were in the first week of a relaxation in dining rules. Limited seating was allowed indoors plus patios < yes, we have sun and warm in S Ont >
Nope. Back to a lockdown. Don't travel and don't gather w/ stores limited to essential goods. 28 days.
" I'm sorry folks, but the numbers are bad " now he didn't say that but basically its been his tried and true fall back when he delivers bad news.
This time, he may have sunk his own ship.
Weather report : says cool today w/ sun BUT wait for it - the temperature soars over the next 6 days. We are reaching for 60 almost every day.
The reality of this lock down is that some businesses have been closed over 300 days during the pandemic now at a full year and still not done. However, you've probably see that Ontario is not alone in a recent surge.
We gasped when a news anchor reported that the U.S. in certain states is entering a fourth wave - say what ? we are thinking in terms of a thrid wave
From Lehman s a touch of light in a dismal day - Suppertime Savers! Make Serving and Storage Simple. 🍴
The day was a bonus - cold, windy but hopeful Mr Sun did his thing
from Lehman s - stole the icon
but thats our day
but 32 F for the high
Review : vaxx went well. Both of us are a little tender under the band aid. And I am a little off. ????? Well, I'm groggy a bit. Took Gravol to sleep and bingo ! Slept through the night < after having trouble falling asleep >.
I think the ticket is to take it slow and not feel like that you need to be bursting w/ energy.
Zen Master would say - all in its time
As asvertised the sun hung around but the winds are kicking up. One day of cold like this, is bearable. Somehow, even in the cold, you know this is spring
