The current Misfits box arrived, the ice blocks went to Gary, for his cooler, the foil insulated bag to be picked up by the Misfits driver and recycled.
Once the summer's over, and Gary doesn't need portable ice I'll resume leaving out the ice blocks for Misfits pickup with the other packing materials.
The tofu and mushrooms are for a Yeung Man Cooking recipe I'll make Friday, the yellowtail because I haven't had it in a while, to be poached and later fishcakes.
I love that very hot spicy plant based "sausage", which works like burgers and meatballs. Cheese is always a staple, and fruit is for breakfasts and desserts. I seem to have forgotten to order bread, so I expect blueberry muffins will need to happen.
All set up now.
Gary is impressed with my improved hearing and is once again thinking about hearing aids for himself. He also started thinking about cataract surgery when I had it, but it's been a couple of years with no action yet. We'll see.
This morning was about writing postcards to voters, very unexciting work but vital, so, oh well. Democracy is a dull old business when it's working right.
This afternoon involves reading, listening to a podcast, sitting outside and some stitching
with another Emma.
This the best production of Emma I've seen, great casting, just very worth watching.
Then the mail brought this
After a year of informing me that my fuel pump could check out any time, causing a recall, but they didn't have parts yet, finally they've laid hands on them.
My first ungrateful thought was, arghgh another thing to do dangit. Anyway I'll call and set up an appointment for the repair. I'll get them to check routinely while I'm there, usual points.
My credit card bill which I've been paying buggywhip style, mailing in checks, also arrived and I found I was out of stamps. So I got into the 20th century, though the rest of the world is well into the 21st, and arranged to pay online. I'm so clever, I am.
And the flower patch is still blooming though cool nights have slowed things down
Happy day everyone, sometimes dull work has exciting results. At least that's the plan,with the postcards. The rest of the day is pretty good already.
