Helia, Harriet mentioned the boards being glitchy yesterday, but apparently they hadn't been given any information as to the reason. As far as I can see, we're the only three who have been able to post so far today. My first thought was that it might be planned maintenance due to the long Easter weekend , but then I realised that although we have a 4 day weekend here in the UK (it's a bank holiday Monday, and most people had yesterday off also) not everyone else does!
Good to see you, KitKat!
It's started spitting with rain, so I'm going to take my rose down to the garage and pot it up there.
Hmm.... I got here pretty easily. Is it getting better? We'll see if this posts.

I miss you guys! I hope to be able to check in with you this weekend.
I am enjoying the sight of my new lattice on my deck. I can still enjoy the view, but don't feel like I am spying on the residents of Extendicare as they sit in their rain shelter. I am less delighted to deal with the water damage on the DVDs that I brought up from the basement. I now realize that it was not me who forgot my locker door wide open in the winter. The building must have noticed the drip coming from the ceiling and opened it to clean up the water.
I'm in!
Saturday
Picked up dog food
Heart pill for Germane
Put on a pot of coffee
Put away dry dishes
Cleaned up after Germane
Listened to my Saturday morning radio shows
Started emptying out the boxes that I brought back up from my locker. Found mould as well as water damage on the DVD cases. Threw away the cases for my STNG DVDs but was able to save the inner parts by wiping them down with alcohol
Found surfaces on which to dry them
I'm here again! Nice to see you and your happy puppy dance, Harriet!
Glad you can enjoy the view, Doggedly. Ugh on the water damage.
I have about 40 minutes before I need to leave. I'm going to work on grading and then work on cutting up the chickens
More done:
- made bed
- tidied MBR cedar chest
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
- squeegeed and wiped down shower
- chickens warming in the oven
- first batch of rice going in the rice cooker
Quick hi. I’m still having a little bit of a hard time getting on, sorry if I jinx you who are able to post.
Is there a place to check in and get updates for when the site is acting up, Harriet?
Enjoy your weekend. In case I don’t get back on for whatever reason:
Happy Easter! He is risen!
Love yall.
♥ Wake each day expecting good things to happen! ♥
