Overnight rain & now cloudy & cool @ 50F. Luckily, we did a lot of gardening & pruning of our perennials. Trimmed a few trees, raked. It’s all been hauled away by the refuse guys already this morning.

We need to mail a package off to The Netherlands, so off to the Post Office this morning, a quick stop at Sams Club, then Lowes.

Another Clue

It’s obviously a smallish cheese platter, but you’ve made a rather poor impression of various cuts of cheese on the top. ?

That's funny because I still have Black dog's card up from that year ? well...he said not to take it down and I haven't but I do have ulterior motives by not taking it down ? I also have a photo box that I save everyone else's cards in. It's a favorite thing of mine on the TFO. Joe is doing halfway decent but he's sick today and it'll be a fight to the finish getting him tested for COVID 19. He'll have to have it before he can return to his adult program and work. It's doubtful he has it because he's had it already. At least that's what his doctors and such have told me. We'll see tomorrow.
At least the newer Covid tests no longer go for your intestines through your nose.
Never had to get tested myself, but 1. I work from home, 2. I live in a 90%+ vaxxed area (two ‘x’s are there for two shots, of course), 3. I have a long umbrella that I hit people with if they try to get close to me (poor hubby).

I hope Joe is feeling better soon and the tests are negative.

Good morning/afternoon all, it's bloomin' cold here today - 7C/49F and set to drop further with gales Fri/Sat, but we've been lucky with the warmest autumn on record so far - or maybe unlucky as it's not normal.
Lola is out and about today mainly because he doesn't like me cleaning his room (bit like a teenager) so he's keeping an eye on me, and he had a good long soak earlier.
I get my flu jab tomorrow and covid booster next Monday so hopefully I should be well protected from the winter bugs.
I hope you're all having a good Tuesday and staying warm!

How about you'll have to do it more 'Caerphilly'? (roughly pronounced khigh filly):)

OMG! Exactly…

Caerphilly is a hard, crumbly white cheese that originated in the area around the town of Caerphilly, Wales. It is thought to have been created to provide food for the local coal miners. The Caerphilly of that period had a greater moisture content, and was made in local farms.

He's negative for COVID 19 but has the start of pneumonia again. He'll be right as rain quicker this time because getting him in early will keep it from progressing this time. I just wonder if having had COVID-19 in January has left him more open for getting pneumonia. This is the second time this year as he just had it in July also.

Oh my garsh. The one they did on Joe today looked like it could go to his intestines. But it wasn't as bad as the previous ones anyway. He tested negative and did well with it. They don't have to turn this one around in your nose but it looks like it goes to your brain at least ?

I'm thinking a bowl for nuts that need cracked just in case the nutcracker was a clue in disguise ?

They have said that it can cause long term health problems (long covid) so maybe his lungs were affected.
Get well soon, Joe.
