What did you do today?

Later on, I'll be watching some of this year's Daytona 500 on TV, even though I'm not a huge NASCAR fan.

Yesterday we had a storm blow through. The fun of it. Thunder and lightening. Which I love. Have reached that point in a jigsaw were there is only one colour left and about 100 pieces to go. Lucky dip. Always leave these parts till the end. Because they take the longest. Saw this colour piece changing jigsaw on you tube. Yes. The pieces change colour depending on how you move. Couldn't even imagine doing something like that. It would drive me mad.

Today I got some exercise. I walked around a local village and then around my neighborhood. I got several miles of walking in today.

 

[Cuchculan]

Case of getting out in between showers yesterday. Think today will be no different. See a break in the clouds, go for it. Not a lot else you can really do. Been pelting down all morning. Time to dig out the rain gear.

 

[MainerMikeBrown]

This morning I volunteered at a food pantry. And just before I left to go home it started to snow out. So I'm glad I left there when I did.

 

[Cuchculan]

Rain and even more rain. No end to it. But out we still go. Even a short walk is better than no walk at all. Then some house cleaning. Just for the exercise. Plus nothing wrong with having a clean house.

This early afternoon I saw my mechanic so he could change the oil in my car.

I went out! I went out to the pharmacy, and went to the store to buy some groceries! YEEES . Some nice lady asked me for directions, hihihi.. Was a little afraid , but I am OUT baby .

 

[Cuchculan]

Rain stopped play. All ready to head out and hale, rain, sleet and Lord knows what else came down. So I shaved me head instead. Good bit of music listened to. Few card games on the PC. Jigsaw sorting.

Today I volunteered at the farm again. And one of the owners told me today that me volunteering there helps her out a lot.

It's nice to be appreciated like that.

 

[Cuchculan]

Yesterday was medication pick up day. Rang the chemist 45 minutes in advance and they had nothing ready when I got there. Then it seemed like I was 1st in and last out. More people arrived with scripts and had theirs done first. Never shy on words I did mention it. The whole 1st in last out thing. Was told that is the way it goes at times. To which I replied ' Even if you ring in advance '. The one serving had a mouth on her. I will give her that. I just had a bigger one. Then back home to my jigsaw.

 

[MainerMikeBrown]

I think it was good for you to be assertive like you were at the pharmacy yesterday, Cuchculan.

 

[Cuchculan]

Just think if they say it will be ready, they should have it ready. None of this waiting till you arrive before they even start getting it ready. Hence you ring in advance..

Yesterday was out abd about. Rain was bad early in the day. Seems to be never ending here. They are getting it worse in other parts of the country. At least we get a small break from it. Enough to be able to head out for a while.

 

[MainerMikeBrown]

It's been in the upper 40's F here in Maine today. Hence, I've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather and have been doing outside activities, such as walking around my neighborhood.

 

[Cuchculan]

Few days of even more rain here. To go on top of all the other rain. Case of finding things to do. Unless you like walking in the wind and rain. Guess I will be getting a lot of the current jigsaw made.

 

[Cuchculan]

For all the weather warnings they issued, nothing bad has hit as of yet. Mind you the poor sods on the West coast of Ireland are flooded out of it. So have been getting out and about. Just windy and cold out. To explain. About 5 years ago they began this colour weather warning thing here in Ireland. Red been the worst. Orange and yellow. But a lot of people get lost with it. As in what colour means what. LOL. Go back 6 years ago and it would be a bad day or a good day. None of this yellow weather warning stuff. I find it amusing in ways. People still go out. Think the forecasters done it for dramatic effect. We got this far without the whole colour system. Even start telling us not to leave our houses. This is Ireland. How are people meant to get to the local pub? LOL

We had a little road trip , gone hiking , took some nice photos. I was out all day . I even ate before trip, and during, which is so uncharacteristic for me, since not eating when I go outside is my safety behavior. And I've scheduled therapy . So it's been a good few days

 

[Cuchculan]

Had a fair bit to do this afternoon. Post office. Which I have not been near in a year or more. Hate the queues in it. Over here that is were people pick up welfare, pay bills and do a lot of other things. Just to go there and do what I had to do was good. Bit of shopping after that and few other things in the same shopping complex.

 

[Cuchculan]

Finished my Panoramic Jigsaw. View from the Shard, overlooking London. Hard to take a good picture because of the length of the jigsaw.

 

[MainerMikeBrown]

Today I saw my mechanic again. This time he replaced the brake pads as well as the brake discs on my car.

Now my vehicle should be fine for quite some time.
