These Lazy Days are Piling Up

The Ridge

So, on Tuesday, Sept. 12^th Bill was up and getting ready for work at his normal time. I knew I would be vehicle-less so had notified M that there would be no town run today and since it was raining, I wouldn’t even walk over for work. We’re set up for Thursday as of now. Gibbs and I stayed up and I sat in my chair with him beside me while I drank my morning tea. I felt hungry too, so had some cereal.

So, this is the kind of day we had.
Sun in one corner and clouds threatening
from another

But it wasn't bad really once we got the
morning behind us.
It was mild.

It rained to some degree all morning so we didn’t go out at all, other than his business. He doesn’t like the rain, so it was out and back in very quickly. 😊 I thought I’d try and honour a request from a friend for a toque. He’s very, very confident in my crocheting abilities, but I’m going to try and get one made for him. I have time in case the first 1, 2 or 3 are duds. Ha ha. I got lucky once…..

A few colour choices I can offer our friend.
I'm sure the pink, lime and lilac are out
of the picture. 😂
I'm going with the brown.

At lunch, I sauteed up my favourites and enjoyed them on half a slice of marble rye bread. Still delish! Then we sat while I tore out my first attempt at the toque and decided to try and unravel a messy ball of yarn. Where is my detangler when I need him? Oh, he’s at work. Bill is the best at this kind of stuff. I managed but found that there were 4 ends in the ball which actually made my job easier. 😊

I need my Yarn Whisperer!
Oh what a tangled web we weave.

At 1:00, Gibbs and I went out for a walk as the rain had stopped for the time being. He was funny because the grader was coming down the road towards us and he just barked and barked at that big machine. 

walking west

Gibbs told this big guy what for!!

The driver slowed down, waved and then tooted his horn at us. He laughed at Gibbs’ reaction. On the way back up our lane, the grader went back down the road and seeing us, tooted once more. 

Heading home on a nicely graded road

Now, for sure, we can see pink in the Sedum

When I drove to town  before supper,
the sky was still threatening.

Back home, after more toque attempts, I had my tea and turned The Handmaid’s Tale on. I limited myself to watch only two more episodes but it’s a nail biter for sure! Bill got home around 3:30 which was really nice and very early for him! Things are in motion and we should have Black Beauty back tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I left Bill and Gibbs at home and nipped in at 4 to clean the Mat. It wasn’t too bad, tested a couple of machines and was back home by 5:30.

Supper was good
the beginning

and the end. 💗

Bill cooked fries and I air fried the chicken nuggets. For dessert, another piece of that delectable cheesecake. Yum! We cleaned up dishes and Bill walked through the rain showers, yup they returned, to the Hangar. With my blog done, I’ll go back to the tv – I think. This was another quiet day for Gibbs and I here at home but a good one. We’ve had enough excitement! Today, we were lucky if we reached 17C/63F but it felt cool and damp come suppertime. 

Billy got the picture I was hoping for.
To the very top right of the photo, you can see
the shoulder of the road.

And now the sad picture. 😖
At least it can be repaired.
Poor Black Beauty.
It's hard to see here but there is a bit of crumple in the hood too.
Hopefully, we'll have her tomorrow from Ford and wait to 
hear when she can go to the repair shop.
Good night!

Thank you for all your comments of concern for Bill, we appreciate you, our friends.
