There were signs that either a cat or a possum (or both) had got into the shed at one time or another; I pulled out the smaller items, broke cobwebs, and swept up the worst of the dirt. Later, when M was here, I had him pull out the one or two bigger items (the barbecue grill, etc.) and I swept a little more. The plan is to wash the floor, tomorrow. I tossed a few smaller items, today. The lawnmower will be disposed of, the grill will be kept. I have to decide about the pole lopper (it has a cutting blade mounted on a pole and a wire that you pull to bring the blade down when cutting small tree branches). The blade probably needs to be sharpened before use, though. I will keep the 7' ladder and most of the pots, etc. <br /><br />Yes, cousin V accepted that I will not have lunch. :)<br /><br />I'm glad you decided to stay home today and wait out the storm. Hopefully, you can meet with your friend, next week. I hope you didn't lose electricity and everything is well.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-10551143410199975082022-02-18T16:41:26.594-08:002022-02-18T16:41:26.594-08:00My daughter called the phone company, today, and w...My daughter called the phone company, today, and we got the matter clarified. Apparently, although the information on the account stated "Order Completed", the modem we were promised has not been shipped yet! They will ship it today, we were told, and it should arrive, tomorrow!<br /><br />I, too, have seen the news coverage about people breaking into the containers in the rail yards and stealing. It really is shameful and sad. <br /><br />I guess one has to abide by the mother's request not to bring gifts for the non-birthday child. I think these sort of teachable moments are fine when the children are older, but, mother knows best, I suppose. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-38006815028324432022-02-18T12:48:31.533-08:002022-02-18T12:48:31.533-08:00Sounds like a nice day other than the missing mode...Sounds like a nice day other than the missing modem.

It has been very windy with lots of rain here but as I live on the coast I was worried about flooding but I've just been informed the flood warning is no longer in force which is a huge relief. High tide was at noon and it's now 3.45 p.m. No plans to take Tilly out in these strong winds today.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-57792977028357247722022-02-18T04:36:24.703-08:002022-02-18T04:36:24.703-08:00I hope you find where you modem is today.

It sounds like you're near the end of that mini project anyway.<br /><br />I hope you can sort out the whereabouts of the missing modem without too much hassle. All these deliveries are fine until one goes wrong and then it can be frustrating to get it sorted properly.<br /><br />I do hope you get to visit friend A as that will mean she is feeling well enough to receive visitors. Good luck with your visit to cousin V and hope she accepts that you are not staying to lunch.<br /><br />I'm spending today at home. I was supposed to be meeting a friend for lunch but we both decided it wasn't worth the risk - the storm is definitely here now! - and will stay in the safety of our homes. We'll meet next week instead. The electricity keeps flickering, so hopefully it won't cut out completely but I do have plenty of blankets if the heating goes off, and I cooked some chicken first thing so can eat that cold if necessary. I'll be glad when the storm passes over!Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-32162531258958315022022-02-18T02:49:54.784-08:002022-02-18T02:49:54.784-08:00Oh dear about your modem.

We've seen many reports of trains with the FedEx, UPS & other delivery companies trailers getting ransacked when going through the Los Angeles area - let's hope that yours is just with the driver's van for today's deliveries. I have a friend that forbids us to bring a gift for the non birthday child when gifting the birthday child. I usually then hide a treat in my pocket or fuss more on their latest creation with lego. Their Mother believes it is a teachable moment, that you don't always have to share the lime light. I'll say no more about that.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.com
