Travelling On

Karmacat

The squirrels were great, the photos not so much, they bounce around so quickly. I did get a 45 second video, but I'm playing catchup on it all the time. The squirrel was only about four feet from me at one stage, so I might put it up on youtube anyway I'll post on here if I do.


So, this morning, I've done a *lot* of washing (pressed a lot of buttons on my washing machine, is what I really mean ), dishwasher's finished a cycle, two emails written, other emails sorted, even SB is playing in the background a little bit. Lovely weather! So the washing might well get half dry before evening.


Only problem rearing its head so far is that I wanted to place a supermarket delivery order yesterday, and it wouldn't accept my credit card .... not sure what's going on with that, thats the next thing to check.


And then. Then, I might finally pay attention to my mobile phone contract. Wow!

Wow, you are on a roll :j

I always find that when the big FROG is out of the way, the little froglets and tadpoles are much easier to swallow!;)

Karmacat

So true, RT! They literally roll right out of the way

Erm, but I forgot a couple of things I needed to do - 3 letters, to be precise so I haven't done the supermarket order, and I haven't looked at the mobile phone contract either, oops. But I was doing things that needed to be done, so thats okay.


I was also staring out of my kitchen window quite a lot. Four feet away, a fox was sleeping. For hours! It was fun

It's lovely to see wildlife so upclose to where we live isn't it?

Our outside security light kept coming on the other night and I looked out to see what was going on. It was a badger in the garden under one of the apple trees, noshing away on windfalls.

Karmacat

Fantastic! I've only seen badgers a few times - always magical.

Turns out I was completely dozy about the supermarket delivery - I updated the CVV security number, and completely forgot I needed to update the expiry date too :rotfl: all done now, and I'm stopping with that. Enjoy the rest of the evening folks

Darn - I missed the party the other night - looks like it was a good one!

Hopefully the solicitor verified ID works - fingers crossed that's an end to it all xx

How lovely to see a fox asleep in your garden - magical x

Karmacat

Hi greent, yep, it was a good party and it went on long after I went to bed :rotfl: it got me drinking spirits again too :rotfl:

As for the ID, I'll phone on Monday afternoon, check that it's been accepted.

Today is pretty domestic, pretty boring - buy some frozen veg to do me until the supermarket delivery, cleaning the house, cleaning me.

I may do some genealogy too, integrating my mum's notes. Adobe are making me very wary - even with ID, I can't seem to save to my own computer any more, so I'm thinking about how to have safe access to my information. One thing I can do is join the U3A group that meets simply to use Ancestry - it's only a monthly meet, but it will keep me going uploading my family tree, for instance, and it will keep me in contact with local genealogists too. £7 a year, you know it makes sense.

Sounds fun. I envy you your U3A

My U3A is sheer luck, CBC, I'm sorry you're so isolated.

Bit of a win today at Waitrose. I decided to check my Waitrose card, and see if there were any offers online I could use. System's changed, and I couldn't find my card, but you can get a temporary card while a new one is sent out, take a photo of it with your phone, show the cashier, and presto, current offers can be bought. And one of the offers was buy 1, get 1 half price - on frozen broccoli, really basic :rotfl: and wonderful. Meant I got 1.5kg of good quality broccoli for £1.50. My card will be coming soon.

I've been sweeping and cleaning, on and off, ever since I got back oh dear, it was bad ... never mind, better now. I've certainly done as much as I want to do, so I'm just about to wash the dust off me

Also did SB, daft survey with lots of points, and although I've still got a lot to do to achieve catch-up, I've made some good inroads today.
