We've just bought a couple of new windscreen wipers for the car £32, then Halfords have the cheek to ask you at the checkout if you want to pay another £2.99 for them fitting. It was a 2 second job which we did ourselves. |

She was telling me they were replacing their deck around their pool, got tthe new liner to install after that, but they have it. Got them an new small trailer so they can go places also.Wants to redo the grass in her yard, and put in an small sidwalk from the side of thier house also. Things she wants to do after the retirement. Another neighbor is water pressuring the moss off their driveway...the others are packing up for an vacation..at lease the neighborhood looks "lived in" with everyone busy and about. Hubby is trying to buy new tires for the car. He says we better not chance going anywhere to far until then. He was explaining how he eats even less then I do daily. He's on menformin also. He lost 35 pounds in past years, but has no weight problem now. They eat nothing that isn't fresh and hardly no meat. He has carbohydrate for breakfast...fresh veggies around 11 ..and an ounce of cheese at 2 pm, for protein and an salad for dinner and that's it pretty much..... they don't drink, they don' t smoke. I'm having problems breaking down my weight to the next 10 pound catagory lower..she says it's most likely the weather and water retention right now. Judy chimed in from Washington state...getting into their rental house in Cashmere...had no insurance in the wildfire up there coverage...but left us her new address....they still own the burnt ground thier other house was on, they have that next to decide as what route they will persue...more likley next Spring though. Sissy is still here, no idea if she finsihed her homework as yet...but she said she'd not mind us driving her to the campground where her parents are at today. Baseball.. Cardinals are even up with the Cubs...we watched Tom Hanks movie last night about the pirates off Somali..it was an true story...taking over an cargo ship. Adventure..wasn't an bad movie as to the acting. Had to rent it, couldn' t find it on Netflex. Other then that the day is cloudy sunshine, but an welcome in ways. Starting in with weatherizing the house for autumn ..and such chores.Stuck an small scarecrow in my potted plants outside the front door as I walked past them...with that, I guess I go for now.( My hubby does dishes for me because he knew growing up with me what an lousy deal I got from my older sister at home, where by reguardless, I ususally got stuck with pretty much doing them myself every night...though we see to it we have an dishwasher, mostly because I use to cook for an lot of people here at this house also..I saved over $380 on it..and it was 14 dollars more then the lowest cost dishwasher at Home Depoe..I probably won't use it that much (if my diet is only fresh fruit and veggies primairly)

Not a great journey, just how many sets of roadworks can they cram onto the M6 and the M5, it took us nearly an hour longer than normal to get here. |
