I am a rare visitor here, although I very much enjoy these challenges, but no longer have the time for everything. However, when I saw the title here I had to join. My husband, commonly known as Mr. Swiss, is the drummer in this band. He is a 100% jazzer and although I was always a jazz fan, his music was jazz and played for many years, amateur of course, with various local groups.
My husband is now 82 years old and is now in a senior home. Of course he no longer plays his beloved drums, but they are in the hobby room in my house. Perhaps they might form a band once in his home, who knows. Jazz music was his life. I do miss the evenings in the local jazz club where he often played.
During the afternoon some clouds appeared, but nothing to disturb. It was perhaps not as warm as yesterday, but bearable. I decided on a day at home for a rest. I was enough here and there this week and I really had no urgent appointments. My groceries arrived this morning. Ordering online is so good and well organisaed. However, I shall have to be careful with ny orders. Today I received 2 kilo of onions instead of just one that I needed. With the slip of the finger it is easy to order twice and not noticing, which happened to me. However, no problem as onions are something you always need. Otherwise I am all set for the week-end. I was busy freezing the meat I ordered as there were a few special offers. I now have hambuger for a few meals and sliced beef. My reserve on bread is also now enough. Since it is only No. 1 son and me in the evening we only need bread for breakfast, and not so much. My days of baking my own bread are now finished. I just freeze the bread and it stays very fresh, especially as it does not stay long frozen. I just have to remember to take it out of the freezer in the evening so that it thaws until the morning.
It was a birdy day today with a visit from a female blackbird.
A magpie also appeared on the search for some suitable food.They are alwas alert for a treat.
And the sparrows we also there, ever present, and enjoying the pleasure of a bath.
I decided to have another try with shredding documents this afternoon. This time it worked better as thanks to a tip from one of my colleagues here on WordPress, lined the container with a plastic bag. However, my machine is not one of the best, and after a while it gets overheated so I have to wait for it to cool down again. However my pile of documents is getting smaller and one day they will be gone – I hope.
I did not visit Mr. Swiss today and will visit again on Sunday. He does tend to forget the days, he forgets a lot at the moment. I am glad he has good care at his home. I am sure I could not do it now.
And now for a relaxing Friday evening with no stress and perhaps a little TV to occupy myself. Keep safe and well and enjoy your week-ends.
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.
