SHEs Organized

Dogged, you can prompt chatGPT (I always pronounse it as chat-je-peté in my head! ) with the description of your apartment and then it will give you the specific routine taylored to your needs I like the fact that I don't have to do the thinking and deciding, I just follow the list and what gets done within the time slot, gets done, and then I move on.
I'll skip on the high altitude camping, as I care neither for camping nor for mountain climbing, and I'll stick to the beaches and museums!

Frenchie, looks like you had a productive Sunday!

Mine was good too, but I am on my last set and then I will settle with a book.

trissie congrats on a very well spent Sunday, if you've been productive, had high impact made strawberry jam then a sheet cake with said jam, and read a book !

Doggedly, loved the video, but there's no way I could climb snow-covered mountains with my camping gear on my back.

Trying to convince the kids to go to sleep, it's almost 11pm and even the sun has set now - at last . It's been a hot day so their bedrooms under the slated roof are hot. Tomorrow will be less hot. DS7 has a day field trip with his class, before the schoolyear is over. He will be exhausted tomorrow night.

Hello, everyone!

Trissie, today's lunch was roast chicken, roast potatoes, carrots, tenderstem broccoli, green beans and gravy, followed by freshly picked strawberries Dnextdoorneighbour C gave us from her garden, and cream.

KitKat, I hope you enjoyed the recitals.

FFB, it's 10 pm here and just about dark outside. WTG on all you accomplished! I hope DS enjoys his field trip tomorrow.

Helia, those cakes were amazing! DD28 is very talented, and I loved the bee motif. How thoughtful of DD30 to write all those notes.

Dogged, I always over estimate.how.k8ch I can done, and I'm also often "find" extra jobs that need to be done. Even if it's something as small as scrubbing a mark off the wall, they soon add up.

Today when I got back from church, I passed DNeighbour SH who was sitting in her front garden, and she asked if I would like to see the house and garden (they moved in towards the end of last year, the house was very, very dated and the garden very neglected). What a transformation! SH has both vision and taste. It now looks like something out of a magazine I side, but still "homely", and the garden is just beautiful.

This evening I sprayed the roses and added a foliar feed to the mix. I've also deadheaded and weeded. Fred has had a good walk, and Matilda has been on my lap. I need to post today's accomplishments and then the week's list.

I wasted some time and then showered and washed my hair, and I'm back and ready to tackle the world.

trissie, I'm sorry that I missed you. Next time I see you, I must remember to tell you about the joke about ChatGPT in Quebec. I don't know about French elsewhere, but in Quebec, pet is rude word for passing wind. Chat j'ai peté translates literally as "Cat, I farted!" Quebecers have been killing themselves thinking about staid business and political types forced to say "Cat, I farted!" when they talk about AI.

trissie and FrenchFly, I just like the song but in no way intended to imply that you should be climing mountains that I cannot climb either, LOL.

Kittykatt, your lunch sounds delicious. I raise my fork of Costco rotisserie chicken in solidarity with yours.
That is a great neighbour, who was able to raise her house and grounds in value and taste. And I'm sure that she enjoyed your appreciation.

I have taped the air conditioner insert back in place.

I know and that's exactly what I meant, but I misspelled j'ai - I'm still working on re-acquiring my written French skills (I found out last summer that the speaking and listening skills are still there, even after twenty years of not using them, but the writing... well, let's say that French is not the easiest to figure it out!)

LOL, I didn't know if people outside of Quebec reacted the same way, because rude things are often slang and more local. Now I can enjoy the thought of people around the world saying "Cat, I farted!"
