shadowkatDidn't do a lot - it was cold, and I slept poorly. (Note to self - sliced sirlon steak, broccoli and cauliflower digest horribly. )
Watched television, slept in, put away boxes, took old dishes to the basement, took a brief walk, the usual...
It's cold. We went from the sixties to the low thirties in less than 24 hours. My left knee has been bugging me a bit - but I put that down to digestive issues. Anyhow after walking the space of two blocks, my back and legs told me - this was more than enough, and we could walk when it was warmer on Sunday and Monday, thank you very much.
Oh picture of ...breakfast on new plates...
I could do a take-out food order, but always dicey with dietary restrictions.
Also feed and watered my plants - four sprouted out six in the aerogarden. But hey, I got four!
Television?
Been watching "The Great Pottery Show-Down on HBO Max" and started watching "Bridgerton" on Netflix (nice and silly and fluffy - kind of a bawdy Jane Austen). Much needed during a pandemic.
News? I'm kind of avoiding it. I can't do anything about it. Just wait for it to play out. When I think about it - I kind of want to personally smack a few folks upside the head. Better not too. I don't think anything will get better until the new regime gets in - January 21, and we won't see positive changes until March or April.
I almost forgot to add - there's some interesting up and coming Netflix series..
* Lupin (based on the story of the French Thief hunting justice for his father), which the Monkey Punch series was also based, but has no association whatsoever with the Japenese Magna Cartoon.
* Netflix is doing a ten episode long live action version of Cowboy Bebop
[I need to watch the original - I've only seen the anime theaterical film.]
* And a documentary entitle of all things..The History of Swear Words.
* And the film adaptation of historical non-fiction book The Professor and the Madman starring Mel Gibson and Scean Penn of all people
I still need to check out George Clooney's The Midnight Sky (but it looks bleak and I don't want bleak at the moment), and Tell Us About It.
Ah, streaming...you are tempting me to give up broadcast cable completely.
