Saturday Morning Jan 30th

Well Friday started out rather chilly with temps in the upper 40's but it eventually warmed up close to 70 by days end. There was plenty of sunshine and the gentle breeze kept it quite comfortable. I headed out on my bike a little before 8 to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball play. We had just 4 of us so the action never stopped and we all were whupped by 10. I did stop off at the library for a couple new reads for both  Nancy and myself.

I piddled around in the gardens hand watering and then harvesting a couple sacks of leafy greens for our dear friends the Nymark's who came by for just that reason. I've cleaned out two rows of Bibb lettuces but still have the west garden side that doesn't get as much full sun as the other side. Thus I'll have another week or so before they need to be harvested.

There wasn't to be done after lunch except hang a load of laundry and then settle into a new read. I'm reading true crime with James Patterson who has involved into a decent write. He keeps my interest with his non fiction writings. I read for a couple hours and napped a little in between until supper time. Nancy was putting together a delicious shepards pie and along with a fresh home grown garden salad we ate well. After supper and the clean up I got into the History Channels series called ALONE. It a new one where 10 folks both male and female complete for a million bucks while in Alaska/Canada alone with just 10 items they are allowed to bring for survival. I love the man vs nature or the man using nature to survive logic. It's really interesting and while some of the folks are buttercups before tapping out or leaving because they lost their fire making tool, which is totally ridiculous and a way to wimp out, oh well. I was tired of the cold for two weeks within a warm cabin and plenty of food as Nancy reminded me when I mentioned the wimps, oh well.

It wasn't long after a hot shower and the warm bed that I was ready for some horizontal lab around 10:30. Nancy mentioned Bobby wanted us to come visit after lunch today in Brandon so we decided to head over around 2'ish and have supper with him and play with the boys. Amy is tied up with her family and we had nothing planned with our friends because of the virus so we will head over to Brandon much to my not liking all of the traffic from all the snow birds clogging the roadways, Oh well, LATER
