I had some fresh cod for dinner. It was magnificent. It had been a long time. It was paid for too by a friend who gave me a gift card.
I prepared for the storm with food for about two weeks ordered on line and delivered to my trunk today.
My books were ready at the library and my stash teeters charmingly.
I was tempted to cafe-sit but thought better of it. Not that I would fall on the goodies on offer, but my trip with three pickups outdoors was enough. Enough has always been a strange word to me. More is my mantra. And I was feeling good which is a danger signal. So I came directly home.
I'm thrilled I'm 13 days in. Thanks for all the support coming my way.
That meme ... me too!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you're doing well, fresh cod is good.
So many kindred spirits have loved this meme. Extraordinary how we find each other!

Is it possible to have teetering stack of eBooks? Cafe sitting outdoors is a great way to occupy your time, but I guess you can't sit outside at the moment, and certainly not in a storm.
ReplyDeleteYes, and I watch my activities, too much really pays havoc with me. As it is, I've suffered this morning. I tossed the kindle a long time ago. Nothing like the paper to me. Odd in that my millennial grandgirl feels the same.

I love my kindle as much as I love my real books, it currently holds 256 books so I guess you could maybe call that a teetering amount.
DeleteThe old British posters come to mind: Keep calm and carry on!
ReplyDeleteKeep calm indeed, Ramana, I had to learn the ways of that :)

That fresh cod sounds great. Pity you did not post a photo of it.
ReplyDeleteI fell on it Gigi, it was only afterwards I thought of a picture. It was magnificent.

Ahh I yearn for cafe sitting days, anywhere!! I, too, try to limit my outings although it kills me. I need to be out and about.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite things in the world. I have so many favourites both local and not so local.

I so relate to the stack of books. They were my sinful purchase last year, and would stack up on the left hand end of my kitchen table and move to the right when read. By year's end I'd mostly curbed buying. All the books I read are piled on the sofa table shelf. I've noted all their library of congress numbers for the purpose of reselling them (for pennies on the dollar). That is a project I must get to.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great comfort having books, I am reading an intriguing one at the moment about which I will post tomorrow. It will interest you, I think.

haha yea, silent reading was my thing back in school. These days I seem not to read much except online.....
ReplyDeleteI sit in cafes, Sydney is relatively covid free, but it gets boring when I'm trying not to stare, I must get better at covert people watching
I people watch all the time, but always have a book or a notepad and stare off into the distance periodically. It really works. I hope your peripheral vision is good and your hearing. I have been amazed.

I always loved the silent reading time and was super happy when our grade seven teacher said if we finished the given work ahead of time we could silent read until the rest of the class finished their papers.
