I scheduled a hair appointment for next week, much needed. I, too, would like a massage, but am still sutured. She could work around that, though. I'd love to have lunch with a friend, but just don't feel comfortable with that yet. I'd love to spend a few days at a spa, but don't want to fly, and my allergies are making food choices very limited. No spas for a while methinks. Too bad I don't like camping. I'm not looking for adventure -- I just want to relax and recharge.
I've been watching a Swedish series, THE RESTAURANT, set in Stockholm in 1945. The ad compares it to DOWNTON ABBEY, but A PLACE TO CALL HOME is a better comparison. Very well done, really solid acting, sets, and so on. It's on Amazon Prime Video, but "leaves" on April 30. I suspect it'll still be there, but with ads or $. Right now it's free. Worth watching.
Quote from: Jeanne on April 28, 2021, 04:15:47 PMI went to the bank, then bought some falafel take-out. This branch of the bank has a machine that gives you a ticket and another machine that later reads your ticket and tells you how much you must pay. It's $2.50 per 15 minutes. Just as I was about to put my flimsy paper ticket into the slot a gust of wind came up and blew it out of my hand! I looked all over for it, but didn't see it. I reluctantly pressed the LOST TICKET button on the screen, then when nothing happened, the HELP button. Nothing continued to happen. Of course, by this time cars were stacking up behind me and they couldn't get out until I did, and the barrier was blocking my way. Most annoying! Then the welcome sight of a young parking attendant. She was very understanding and did some magic so I could leave WITHOUT having to pay some outrageous lost ticket fee. Yay!Except for the falafel it sounds like you need another Me Day to make up for this one.

The subtitles are quite adequate, in my view.

I was thinking take-out, then going to a park with large tables for distancing.
This afternoon I watched the Met’s “The Merry Widow” and now I can’t get that waltz out of my head.
I got a fraudulent email.I said, What is it, Phish?
We have been watching The Restaurant, thanks to DR Jeanne's suggestion. I like it, but not nearly as much as Downton Abbey. I think we'll just be able to finish the last episode by April 30.
Tornado warning and watch both in effect in the area. I don’t know exactly where my house fits.
