Waiting on other people

[alteredzed]

One of my least favourite things.  We have two service appointments today, the first is to replace the water meter and we have a window on that from 12 noon to 4:00 pm.  The second is a semi-annual home inspection with a window from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.  Fun times. Not. At least we get it all over and done with in one day. And we have a clean house out of it. Not that we let this place get really dirty, but it's rare for us to do a deep clean *everywhere* at the same time.  Okay, we didn't get to the garage, but hey, it's a garage!

It does mean I'm left hanging around this afternoon, don't want to get too far into any project, just in case. So I'm reading fanfic and knitting on the garter-stitch border for the blanket I'm making.


Question of The Day:

November 5. Monopoly went on sale for the first time on this day in 1935. Have you ever played it? Yes, many, many times.  Not for ages though now.  All our board games got water damaged while in storage after a move.


Catching up:

November 1. In the UK, the 5th of November is Guy Fawkes night, which is celebrated with fireworks. The firework displays and parties usually start this weekend and may continue for several days of November. When was the last time you attended a firework display? It's been ages.  Not since the kids were quite young, so maybe 25 years ago?

November 2. Do you have anything you love so much on TV that you record all the episodes? No, it's been a decade or so since we've actually had a TV connection.  And I never did really record anything.

November 3. What’s the weather like today?  It was cooler (high of just 8C / 46.4F) and mostly cloudy. Fairly windy too.

November 4. Have you ever received a birthday present that was just perfect for you? What was it?
I've had many great gifts over the years, but to be perfectly honest, nothing really jumps out right now.  My family always seemed to do better at Christmas.

P.S. High today will only be 6C / 42.8F and it's completely overcast.  Think we may even have had a tiny bit of snow this morning. 

P.P.S.  I may have jinxed Halloween for our town.  Weather was pretty decent early evening, but not long after dark the wind picked up and we had rain! None of which was in the forecast at all. Sorry about that.
