Quite a round - about morning, the road works were mentioned on, I think, Valley news on computers last week. I’m glad that I no longer drive that far away!
Thanks for reminding me about Hummingbird chocolate, I know I put away a half eaten small box given to me when Graham and Ana were here in early summer!
No doubt Franz F will visit his daughter and Family on one of his trips, I'm sure it was a pleasant surprise to have the car door opened and a brief "catch-up" of news.
I've had a couple of "poor days". I called dear Joy Sheets the other morning, I was freezing cold and thought perhaps I also had a fever. She was here in a few minutes, checked me out, took my blood pressure, etc: "Stay in bed, what food do you have, drink plenty of water" and "I'll check in again later."
Well I slept almost all day and night, same the next day, then suddenly I felt really hungry. I heated up homemade sweet potato, celery and chicken soup; that did the trick!
I realized on Sunday at church I was cold, then Monday afternoon was quilting time in Grace Hall, the heat was turned on when we arrived but turned down about an hour later, I kept my warm coat on the whole time. Even making Tea for the seven of us didn't make much difference, in spite of holding my hands on hot teapots!
It was my next door neighbour's turn to drive to Clayton, when we left to drive home, her car was freezing cold and hardly warmed at all. I was just completely chilled, not catching flu or anything else!
Today when waking up I knew immediately I was my normal self again and so was my blood pressure!
Friday I shall drive to fetch groceries and Carleton Place for the Items that are not kept in Almonte. Winter is certainly here, I shall wear my winter coat and hat, my boots, I had already put new winter insoles inside last week; by the time I drive out of the underground garage my car will be warm, also the steering wheel, I do not use the seat warmer as I have to sit on a stiff cushion, I'm just too Short!
My Clayton Friends, Ray and Kathy both have bad colds, hopefully they will improve soon. Last year I spent Christmas dinner with them. I will probably be invited again if no more colds, otherwise I have frozen pork tenderloin in the freezer!
Thursday; It was a bright sunny morning and cold, but I had to wait for for the electricians to finish installing a new thermostat: after three hours it was discovered that it didn't work, apart from switching on the A/C in full blast! So the old complicated one was quickly returned to its original space. I can turn the heat up when needed, which is a change, so the question is "What Next?
Finally I left here at 1:30 and drove into Carleton Place and bought all the needed food from three stores, returning home just before dark.
Once in the apartment all the fresh food was put into the frig and freezer. I made a cup of tea and almost collapsed into my armchair!
Tomorrow will be a full day of CBC news re Trudeau, US government, finally Putin.
Have a goodnight.
