Marvellous day of cool breeze and low humidity! Cross the road neighbour came over for a tour. He lent me his recycling bin so I have filled it and rolled it to the street, hoping I was in time for the twice-monthly pick up. A good de-clutter!

R has dashed off to the city, reluctantly, to deal with the crises there.

Still working on the washing machine deficit. "I have several ..." "so you have been telling me for two years. One that works would be good!" -After I asked if maybe he could pick up one I found on Kijiji.- There are three garbage bags of laundry in the city and one in my car.... Too nice a day to go to the city. Maybe I will just pull out socks and underwear and wash them in a bucket - now that there is hot water. I will consider that possibility for a while! While I also consider getting a pottery wheel set up and making a few pots today. Waiting for my next round of energy!

Re lost cell phone: I left mine plugged in at the farm market the other week. When I remembered and went back, it was gone. While trying to figure out who to contact, I checked FB, which I do not do often. A message from my sister-in-law in PA informed me that the finder had called her and she relayed the necessary info so we could go fetch it. This kind woman works in the building and came out just in time to hear a couple kids say, "Look, a cell phone!" Lucky me!

Well, a good lunch and a rest might bring on that rush of energy....
