Hello Ed, the watch also tells me when it wants recharging as it did yesterday a few hours after I purchased it. That was to be expected. I am like you in that I hate wasting food. Tonight I will have a fresh fried salmon tail and my left over veggies from last night. Tomorrow I have a plumber coming to work out how I can change my shower into a walk in one. At the moment the shower that I have has a small bath at the bottom that requires me to step in and out carefully. Hazardous for me. Now it is time to go and cook my salmon. Enjoy you day.

Hello ED, TY for the wee mouse. I am home again after a busy afternoon at the Op shop. The back room where the trailer sits is absolutely FULL of donated junk. My little back room next to it was also full of donated books and games. I managed to shelve a lot and put thin recipe books out the front for 50c and $1. My new watch is interesting. I felt an unfamiliar buzz on my wrist this morning and it was my watch telling me that I had been sitting too long and should get up and walk around for a bit. So now I have a watch that nags me. It also counts my steps for the day but I am not sure how to find that info at the moment. Enjoy your new day.

Peace Dove ty x

Morning splash--Lovebirds ty It is mostly cloudy and -12 here this morning. I am up a little early as I want to get the laundry done--so will go down and take my book to read and get that off the agenda and then I can start on the apartment and maybe have a free weekend to watch sports. Olympics have began for us-- the curling has started early so they can get it all in( there is mens,womens and mixed curling now in the games and some of the qualifying sports  have started and it might be the only chance to see the up and comers.Not sure but I think a urine test only has so many hours window but its is no worries with me as I just do it all at the same time. Tea was nice in that we got all caught up with the going on and I guess they found a valve that was shut when it shouldn't be so that helped with the heating--still not perfect but done feel like I have bundle up just to get out of bed in the morning. They really can't fix things properly without shutting the system down and that would not be good in this weather-so limp along until we have decent weather again. Tea next week is going to be a Valentines High tea(well as high as the lady doing it thinks it will be-- but at least scones and stawberry jam and if she can find it the clotted creame. Have a good day

Hello Ed, I am still learning about the watch. Gosh it is complicated and somewhat heavy on my wrist. I haven't worn a watch for some years. Terase called me today and the watch told me. She was delighted as she told me a week ago that I never seem to answer my phone. True. I am one of those peeps who doesn't bother with having a phone nearby. It is usually in my handbag and I and am often away from it. Now the watch tells me that someone is calling. It will most likely drive me mad.

Woohoo - this Mallard was one of the spotting requirements for your 'February Pottery Lottery (Extreme!)' quest!

Hello ED, I  drove to Rosebud this morning and purchased a smart watch. My children really wanted me to get one as it alerts if I have a fall. Given that I live on my own I decided to heed their advice. The Telstra store set it up for me and connected it with my phone. It is not a lovely piece of jewelry but so many people wear them. I now just have to learn all about it. HaHa! Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, the Trail bikes were motor bikes made for bush tracks more than for roads.

Morning splash--lovebirds ty. Yes it is sunny but back to -13 this morning and yeswe willo go to the deep freeze again for a bit but the good thing about Feb. we seem to get a mixed bag and things seem to improve. It is surprising what you can find frozen --mini pizza are handy as you discovered--I have those plus mini meat pies  and a few other things to rely on. Hope you trip to town goes well and you get to enjoy a coffee out. Have a good day
