Your day apart from gardening

[Esther Knapicius]

Yesterday we took Sasha the car to a near by park for a run. She met a new friend while there.

I had 2 calls on the fire department today. Both were for fallen trees as a result of the remnants of hurricane Zeta.

Played golf, the forecast said "dry."

We got wet. Why do they bother?

Forgot to add my pictures above, there was a professional photographer taking a bunch of pictures for a car calendar that Sash will be on the front cover and one of the months. not sure which shot he will select of the ones he took. but those are my shots.

Raining like crazy. Leaves soaked or I'd start some raking/burning. Just going through stuff to donate inside house. Or relaxing.

Going to my friend Keith's funeral at 9.30 am

 

[Sean Regan]

I could have cleared some motre leaves, but then there'd be as many more to clear tomorrow. So I didn't bother. Might clear some on Sunday.

I cleaned the car and then tackled my electric golf trolley which was "hanging" as the last two or three times I'd used it before this second lockdown, it had got very muddy. Then I cleaned my clubs and three pairs of golf shoes.

So now it's "all systems go!" or it would be if ever these restrictions end, I'll just have to practice my chipping on the back lawn for now.

Home from our trip late last night. So organizing, travel things all day. Laundry etc. Thank goodness I had a dozen duck eggs delivered last night. Not going out today.

Hubby cleaned the conservatory ceiling and i rinsed out the cloth for him, then i cleaned the glass of the sliding doors, it's all ready for the Christmas decorations and tree but that will be next week.

I've been a bit busy lately, trawling on eBay I found this.

For the money I thought it would be an ideal back up for my Leak 2000 tuner/amp, through which and the equally vintage Goodmans speakers, I can if I choose, channel the audio from the TV and any of this lot under it.

either of these,

and my two jukebox wall boxes, via the iPods in the previous photo.

In my office.. Alright..... our tiny box bedroom, I've been using a little amplifier to play mp3s and the audio from YouTube videos on my laptop (and a few PCs before that) through a sixties jukebox wallbox's uprated speakers.

I decided I might as well use the Rotel (when it arrives later in the week) instead. But the shelf I'm going to use was an inch too short.


So I made new sides for it today. I've had to order a mini-jack to din plug lead, to connect the Rotel to my laptop and two, two pin speaker plugs (eBay, a fiver with free postage), to complete the job.

So I shouild be all systems go by the end of the week

That's the plan anyway.

@Sean Regan that looks great hope that it works.Hubby has his surround system to play music and most of all to watch films. We have Alexa echo dots around and he's put in a command to switch the sound system on and off, also to switch the light off because it's a smart bulb.

Oh, that is right, UK pigs in the blanket are different that USA pigs in the blanket. been on an international cooking forum for years. Funny little differences we have for the same name.

Yesterday, I broke down the Thanksgiving Turkey , simmered up the carcass for hours, tossed the bones. Have 4 cups of bone broth for freezer. after sorting through the meat will make up a Pot Pie from it, also for the freezer. Thank goodness its 34 degrees outside for the bowl of meat to stay, (no room in fridge). Also sorted my canned goods area, guess we won't starve, LOL.
