Good info , Guest. Never figured out how to download book - maybe tomorrow. Spent 1.5 hour on phone with health consultant/friend. She is amazing in her ever-increasing knowledge. Gave me a couple suggestions for helping friend with probable budding dementia. So, no pots made. But all the ice is off the back door mat and more wood brought in. Chickpeas in slow cooker in prep for potluck tomorrow. Lentil stew for supper - the red lentils are so quick to cook, the veggies were just a bit crisp.

All that fresh air and exercise, ready for bed but trying to hang on a bit longer. Still have hot water! I might get used to it - then it will quit again? R will be back in March to remedy the situation.
