Good evening.

I'm up, I'm up - eleven hours of sleep. I didn't sleep until five, was up at eleven briefly and thought, one more hour, and here we are. The entire day gone, a horrid text to deal with, and now I'll try to catch up on stuff, but of course Microsoft Office wants to do ANOTHER update, third in two weeks. They'll be getting a call from you-know-who.

Any word on the London H2$?

And sorry in advance if I have asked a touchy question.

Having a Greek pizza for dinner. It’s nice. Surprisingly, the onions are spectacular.

What was done to make the onions spectacular?

CDs are shipping over a period of days. It would be faster but many invoices that were forwarded have NO information on them, so I have to go to PayPal, find it, which is a pain, and then cut and paste the address into an email - I'm really irritated - so far it's been thirty orders like that. But for dear reader orders, even if there's no info we have you in the computer and I know what the order is.

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #189 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:01:46 PM »

Bruce, have you checked your email?

Jeanne · « **Reply #190 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:03:55 PM »

Carving Board, a local eatery, serves a fish & chips sandwich that is quite good. They put potato chips on it, which I think is silly. I tell them to leave them off, then I order fries.

Bruce, you ought to try one.

Jeanne · « **Reply #191 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:05:38 PM »

Ah, I got your reply.

Jeanne · « **Reply #192 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:06:56 PM »

I went to the hairdresser today, then stopped at my favorite food store. Exciting, huh?

Jeanne · « **Reply #193 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:14:18 PM »

Forecast for tonight's low is 38 degrees. Given how so few houses here have any insulation and many of us have toy heating systems, that is COLD. I was warm last night, though. We'll see how tonight goes.

Jeanne · « **Reply #194 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:15:54 PM »

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

Jane · « **Reply #195 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:16:21 PM »

DR Jeanne, stay warm tonight!

Freshness maybe.

I stopped for red velvet ice cream on the way home. Because I am worth it.

Working my way through Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South. At times, it’s incredible with its depiction of the Industrial Age coming to England. At other times, it’s every 19th century novel cliche, from the sensible heroine to the flighty mother.

I can't sleep till four again. Too much going on. Must get to bed earlier starting this evening.

What is it, Filet o' Fish?

George · « **Reply #201 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:57:20 PM »

Well, I'm off to my sister's. My niece had me order her some lotions in a couple of favorite scents that this particular brand hadn't had in a few years, and I'm now going to deliver them.

George · « **Reply #202 on:** February 15, 2023, 05:58:47 PM »

After that, I'm thinking of going to the local Meconi's Subs for dinner. They are quite delish!

We watched the mini series of three of her novels, North and South, Wives and Daughters, and Cranford. I considered reading them, then decided not to as the series were simply wonderful. Instead I read her first novel, Mary Barton.

Do you order them since it is convenient to have them delivered at your work?

I could probably have saved the time and watched them. Cranford was very close to the novel. Both were a real treat.

There was a death scene in North and South that was truly moving.

Did four racks of dishes and I’m not finished yet.

singdaw · « **Reply #208 on:** February 15, 2023, 06:44:17 PM »

I read that as "four racks of radishes," and I was trying to figure out what that meant.

One more.
