There is some version of The Magic Flute tonight on TCM at 2 a.m. EDST......I'm not sure which one it is.....or what to expect.

Could be the Bergman movie. One of my favorites.

Trois!

I read Ina Garten's peach pie recipe yesterday, so I had to make one. It's in the oven now.

John G. · « **Reply #63 on:** July 19, 2020, 02:54:32 PM »

I didn't buy quite enough peaches, so I added some blueberries I had in the freezer. The house smells nice.

John G. · « **Reply #64 on:** July 19, 2020, 02:54:46 PM »

But the house is also hot.

I've started listening to The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick. It's like Major Pettigrew lite. But it also has its curious charms.

We splurged and for the second time since before quarantine began, we purchased a pizza to go.

Interesting you compared it to the Major. I looked up the book and the description is very different. Someone on Goodreads asked if it was like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. I have marked it to read. Please let me know if it continues to be enjoyable.

They're both about British widowers. But British and widowers are enough to draw a comparison.

I'm off to bed. No plans for today, but some TV watching and some laundry.

Have a good day, all!

So much for no plans.

My dad called and asked if I could come over and fix his headphones.

George · « **Reply #71 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:31:53 PM »

He unplugged them and couldn't figure out how to fix them.

George · « **Reply #72 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:32:35 PM »

I went over and got the plugged back in, and I wrote out what he needs to do to change his TV from the cable input to the DVD input...he forgot that, too.

Then, we played Phase 10.

George · « **Reply #74 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:33:02 PM »

I lost, but my mom won...probably only the second time in several months!

George · « **Reply #75 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:33:40 PM »

Then, I drove through the Lacey Taco Bell for a burrito, and then headed to my sister's to help her hang some pictures.

George · « **Reply #76 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:34:01 PM »

Well, she had too many decisions to make for me to help, so I didn't have to stick around there for very long.

I got gas at Costco and was going to go to Fred Meyer for some diet Pepsi, but I wasn't in the mood, so I came home.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:35:35 PM »

I've just been working on my computer and taking files off my tablet micro SD cards to free up room on them.

George · « **Reply #79 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:35:54 PM »

And that's been my day.

Page three? Really?

bk · « **Reply #81 on:** July 19, 2020, 09:00:03 PM »

I gotta tell you.

bk · « **Reply #82 on:** July 19, 2020, 09:00:15 PM »

Finished with my viewing.

bk · « **Reply #83 on:** July 19, 2020, 09:14:02 PM »

Computer just began spazzing out - something glitched on a site I was closing out of - really annoying but it righted itself quickly.

I would also have skipped the market by then.

George · « **Reply #85 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:09:48 PM »

I'm still working on emptying the micro SD cards of my tablets and moving the files onto my desktop computer.

George · « **Reply #86 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:10:03 PM »

It's slow going.

George · « **Reply #87 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:10:43 PM »

But, at least, it's working.

George · « **Reply #88 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:14:13 PM »

There are a couple of full-length videos that I want to put onto one of my tablets, but I get some kind of error message when I move it, and it's not a "this disc is full" kind of a thing.

George · « **Reply #89 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:15:12 PM »

I forget what it is, but I'm going to see what happens when/if I download the file from online directly onto the flash drive...hopefully, that'll work. We'll see!
