Back again, not much to report, but sounds like you are all accomplishing something, I feel like I am in a time warp of nothingness 😁. Sounds like you had a nice walk, Roobarb, and good for you, Ruskie, making marmalade. The only thing I’ve made like that is lemon curd, once. Do like it though, but as I now avoid most bread, I’d have to eat obit off a spoon. Hmm...perhaps not a bad idea!
First the weather report - after a couple of record breaking warm days last week, got close to 20c, the temps have gone back to normal, between 0 and 8 or so most days. Except for the odd patch or dirty piles in parking lots, the snow has melted, but last night we had an inch or so, but it has now melted away. Our lawns are an awful mess, though, it will take a while for them to bounce back.
Was just reading up in the priority for vaccinations here in Ontario, many people in the health sector are getting them now, but surprisingly not physiotherapists, much to my dismay, as I want some sessions. There is a new breakout here of mainly university students, partying of course. Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day which is popularly celebrated here, but mostly as an excuse for drunken revelry. They have been warning the students to behave...we’ll see.
The powers that be say they are not going to ask for age I.d. for the vaccine, either this is Canadian politeness or government slackery. I can’t see how we can get it without showing our health card anyway.
There has been no talk of cutting off your Oxford vaccine here, so might be EU playing politics. They are saying at any given time people will get blood clots anyway.
Watched the Canadian bake off last night, weird stuff they were doing, botanical week. I didn’t like who they let go either, he just had a bad night. We started the Downton Abbey movie, not very plot driven (in other words you don’t have to pay 100% attention), but enjoy the clothing and furnishings, etc. and Maggie Smith is wonderful.
I am on meal duty tonight. Last week I ordered some mushrooms, well, we got a container that would feed a dozen people. I made a sauce to go with chicken, tonight I will add to it and serve wth meatballs. Then they might be beyond help, they don’t last long! OH put in an order for peanut butter, and we got a tiny one, which we never buy.
No Mother’s Day here on Sunday, we do that in May, but we did have Daylight Savings Time, and lost an hour. I had a bad night’s sleep as well, but Sunday night I slept 9 hours.
Not much else to report. Have a phone call with a friend lined up tomorrow, and I really should call my brother.
