No, we did not watch the felon being sworn into office. No, we didn't watch the news recapping the day. No. There is only so much a person with a brain (read: anyone who did NOT vote for a felon ) can take. I sincerely thank Brian in England and Donna in Australia and Dianne here in the U.S. for checking on me yesterday. We are now the laughing stock of the entire world. If you voted for the felon, shame on you.
PH and I spent the afternoon watching our Doc Martin DVDs. We love Doc Martin and really love watching the DVDs over again because we took a trip to Port Isaac before covid and when we watch we reminisce about being there, recognizing buildings, streets, scenes, where I fell one night because the curb wasn't really a curb but I expected there to be a curb. We wanted to feel good yesterday.
AND I finished the tree!!! It took ALL afternoon and into the evening and my eyes were exhausted but it's finished! These are the cold colors for the first leaves and I'll do those today because the current temperature is 2degrees F and nothing is stirring out there. The wind chill temperature is -15F.
Wind chill means how it FEELS when the temperature and wind combine. We get those readings a lot in winter because while the temperature might be a balmy 2 degrees F, on your your exposed skin it feels -15. So we stay in and hunker down today.
You are not the only ones not watching. We are all just one more day closer to waking up in the shower. (are you old enough to remember Dallas?). My show of choice was also Doc Martin. I would love to visit Port Isaac, so charming! haha, of course we only see the sunny days and the wind. I did get the borders on a quilt so there is that...something positive from the day.
ReplyDeleteYou tree looks great. I like how you added a mauve your winter colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the tree. So glad you are starting on the leaves. Can’t wait to see the colours
ReplyDeleteMy commiserations - what a sad day - such an arrogant felon!
ReplyDeleteLove Doc Martin too.... Well done on the tree...mine is progressing and have half the month's leaves done. Please share a pic in the group - we would love some blue leaves...we are expecting 36/37 C today & Friday with 33 in between (97 F) but our friends in the west are having 45+++
The tree looks great - it will look better with leaves, though! I'm too young for Doc Martin (never heard of it) or Dallas (I do remember it, but was too young to be interested or allowed to watch), but I'll say just about anything beats the other event mentioned. One of the gals I work with was watching the live stream on her phone and came into the break room with it. She said she hopes he does everything he promised. I hope he fails. And I hope he understands that he fails. Looking forward to an actually balmy day of 24 on Thursday!
