Finished The Book ‘Circe’

Posted on by

I loved this book! This book is beautifully written, the story kept me reading nonstop. I cannot describe what it is about the language that grabbed me. Poetic but not poetry?
I enjoyed cross referencing the names of the characters. I learned a lot about Greek mythology.

I loved Madeline Millers writing style. The pleasure of reading and the beauty of her writing style is beyond my ability to describe. I will read more of her books. She is possibly the most skilled writer of any books I’ve ever read.

I slept good last night, perhaps because i didn’t get harassed half hour before the alarm?

Happy FRIDAY!!!

My Last Drivers License?

Posted on by

i got my driver’s license renewed yesterday. It now expires in August 2033. I’ll be 73, if i make it that long living, will I make it that long driving?

i find it amusing, seeing the end of my life coming down the road. I just hope it’s quick,.not some long, drawn out illness.

The foot is God, that’d be quick.

Anyway, this is not a morbid post, it’s funny. And it’s FRIDAY! I’ll probably have 3 more 10 year driver’s licenses!

Have a good weekend!

Oats

Posted on by

I accidentally bought steel cut oats instead of rolled oats yesterday. My recipe specifies rolled oats. I looked it up and the differences were minor, so I just used the steel cut.

They were good! They are more like chunks than flakes. I noticed this morning that they had soaked up all the milk. But it was good, less mushy, more chewy and tasted differently good.

So, you have my blessing to use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats in my recipe.

Happy Friday! Have a good weekend!.

Goodreads 2023 Reading Challenge

Posted on by

I signed myself up for the 2023 Goodreads reading challenge. I am to read 15 books this year. I think I’m on 6, and I’m starting to have doubts about if I will make it. Master and Margarita was a very long book and took a long time to read, because of its complexity. Right now I am reading The Candy House and it seems like it is taking longer than it should.

I have to read faster, and shorter, easier books. Are you reading any books you think I’d like? Let me know!

Happy Friday!

New Gas Grill

Posted on by

Yesterday i bought a new gas grill. The old one had developed a little flamethrower in one of the jets. It had been repaired and all the replaceable parts had been replaced…twice…at least. It was definitely end of life for the old gas grill. I can probably find how old it is by searching this blog.

The new one is a mega monster. I started putting it together last night. After worki have to put the side shelves on and then… More pictures for you.

Here’s a picture from our dawg walk this morning, i thought the lights looked cool.

Happy Friday and have a great wee

kend!

Another Happy Friday

Posted on by

After a week that seemed like Monday every day, it’s good to have a Friday.

we had a little rain last night, my porch tiles were wet, but the road wasn’t. Very little rain, but we’ll take what we can get at this point. This week we had a good flooding in town without a drop up here in West Bay..

Have a wonderful weekend!

TGIFriday

Posted on by

I am GLAD it’s the weekend. Every day this week has seemed like Friday.

My pickleball yesterday was cancelled, now it’s the next two Thursdays.

This is my last “Normal” weekend until the second weekend in March. I have visitors and events until then.

Today Goldie is going to the vets. He quit grooming himself like Ashy did. I’m not attributing it to dental this time.

Tomorrow morning is a 5K walk. (yes, walk, not run)

Addison is an impossibly young girl who committed suicide. This memorial for her is for awareness of mental health and abuse issues.

Have a good weekend!

A Man Called Ove

Posted on by

I finished the book “A Man Called Ove” yesterday. It was Fantastically Supergood! It’s about a grumpy old man, his wife has died and he got laid off work. He keeps trying to commit suicide and getting interrupted by his new neighbors, a young family of four (and a half). And a cat adopts him.

i read half this book in one day, mostly on the beach, laughing out loud in public like a psycho. Also getting teary eyed quite a few times.

This book was super good. One of my all time favorites (I’ve said that two books in a row now). This book is so good, they’ve made it into a movie.

I am very much looking forward to this movie! I recommend the book, probably the movie too, I’ll let you know.

Happy First Friday of 2023! Have a great weekend, unless you have made other plans! 🙂

Crazy Swap

Posted on by

Swapping a receational pot using basketball player for “The Merchant Of Death” international arms dealer. You already know about it but you can read the article HERE. The US probably could have gotten 100 prisoners exchanged for this one. Not that I think swapping prisoners is a good idea. Both were apparently guilty.

I find it unbelievable and shameful. The USA should be embarrassed.

Happy Friday.
