Tell Us About Your Day

Good to hear you are getting there......

As I mentioned in another thread, my doc and his partner moved to a concierge practice. One of the perks I pay for is an annual wellness check (in addition to an annual physical). I thought I was going in for just the fasting blood draw. I also underwent vision and hearing screenings, body composition analysis, EKG, regular blood pressure check, as well as blood pressure checks on both wrists and ankles. After that, I came home and baked some donuts.

A brisk walk yesterday then a relaxing afternoon.

We went out with the dogs thins morning and I think we saw the flipper of a seal.. It looked like a flipper , it was bigger than anything Ive ever seen in the lake before and whatever it was left a huge splash.

Turning and coming over the bridge we then spotted three young women in bikinis swimming in another part of the same lake...

Its 8c today !

Shopping this morning. *yawn*

I've put on my first load of laundry: in my new machine. I shall put on another load after that.

Yesterday I went food shopping and also went to the library. I am going to start reading the first book this evening: I am forever reading. I also love reading women's magazines: I read 100's of back issues of Cosmo in the 1990's. Unfortunately Cosmopolitan has lost its soul now: it is now targeted for young women, whereas 90's Cosmo was for the older woman. I don't read Cosmopolitan magazine anymore for those reasons.

This morning I have drunk my caffetterie coffee and am airing out my apartment. I have also posted on Facebook, which I always enjoy doing.

I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday!

I keep busy.

I have been clearing the garden. My hands are stinging a bit from the nettles and I have been attacked by the brambles but a good part is now cleared and I am now enjoying my coffee.

Our new washing machine takes three and a half hours for a cycle.

Apparently that is the new eco friendly style???

There's always one. 

You just can't resist boasting about your lifestyle.

Thanks for the concern Candy   I do and was wearing my garden gloves but they are very clumsy and it is not easy to use my scateurs wearing them so I was taking one off at points. As I was in the middle of a really rough patch with some of the nettles and brambles actually towering over my head it was very easy to get accidently caught by them. The brambles are of a type so vicious that I had to be careful as the larger thorns would easily pierce my gloves if grabbed so I had to proceed very gingerly. I got off very lightly as I was protected well. You are doing well to escape the odd sting or scratch.

That sounds like a large garden?

That sounds like a difficult garden to manage. But you're doing well in spite of your difficulties.

I do think once you are finished with that patch of garden, your next aim is to maintain it. Once you are through cutting away the brambles and weeds, you're set.

I am also impressed with your gardening abilities: I have zero ability with gardening. However, I DO have potted plants in my apartment and regularly re-pot them. I love plants, flowers and nature in its whole. But - as I live in an apartment - I don't have my own garden, which is a shame. Still, I regularly change my vase flowers and have around half a dozen potted plants. It's the only nature I have where I live.

Anyhow, jen: I hope you get your garden finished soon.

Brambles area bitch. Deep rooted, and fast growing..... I have a go at ours every year, but short of digging out the entire root, they are stubborn.
