Never met a potato I didn’t like.<br />Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Nomadland, I haven’t gotten the book yet but see people are talking about it. I’m curious.<br /><br />Haven’t tried the Shetland tv series but read the first two books. Then I discovered her Vera series and I have only two books left to be caught up.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553212447308502910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-71702531306541760552021-04-18T16:04:17.373-04:002021-04-18T16:04:17.373-04:00Good grief!!

Most cases are coming from factories like Amazon and he refuses to give them paid sick days.<br />He had to rescind his order that police be allowed to stop and ask you where you are going as the police forces refused to comply. He also had to rescind the order to close playgrounds due to backlash from the medical community.<br />Don't worry, I can keep myself entertained!Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-22907069168285758142021-04-18T09:53:09.190-04:002021-04-18T09:53:09.190-04:00Thanks, Judee.

The government cancelled all flights to "sun" destinations such as the Caribbean and Mexico from Jan to April. When Canadians do return to Canada by flight they must quarantine at an airport hotel for three days. But many people find ways to get around the rules. Some are shipping their RVs/cars (legal) across the border and then flying and picking it up and driving. Flights are not cancelled into the States, though. These people are irresponsible and dangering others. Are there no quarantine rules when they get to Florida?Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-38800382588640360802021-04-17T22:51:55.707-04:002021-04-17T22:51:55.707-04:00We had dinnner made from beef lefter overs, it bec...We had dinnner made from beef lefter overs, it became barbque beef sandwhich.<br />Coffee is on and stay safepeppylady (Dora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01649272822470007714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-61660536550321688662021-04-17T18:58:37.500-04:002021-04-17T18:58:37.500-04:00What a very nice whiskey tumbler.

Quite a number are also poorly maintained. Fifteen years is quite an age for a truck and safety features in vehicles have come a long way in that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-59388137439493720482021-04-17T17:43:23.345-04:002021-04-17T17:43:23.345-04:00I'd recommend the Maclean's article just u...I'd recommend the Maclean's article just up on the Ontario pandemic and why us Atlantic provinces are so successful. It is horrifying what is being projected, stay safe. Grandgirl and her partner are moving here on May 1st, planned for a few months now as they saw this coming.<br /><br />I agree on Shetland - tis a rare thing, but the series outshines the books. Same with Vera, could not stand the books but the series are *mostly* good. Brenda Blethyn is superb.<br /><br />I recommend Bloodlands for the Irish in you. Really, really well done thriller. Full of surprises and twists, AND easy on the eye James Nesbitt.<br /><br />Loved Nomadland. I hope she gets an Oscar.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-73352628858629683742021-04-17T16:55:59.400-04:002021-04-17T16:55:59.400-04:00What did you think of Nomadland?

Does it make you feel any better to know that, even though we have no restrictions (!), even though we have had our vaccines, we still feel we need to stay close to home to protect ourselves from all the folks around here who refuse to get the vaccine, refuse to wear masks. We have our own frustrations here.<br /><br />I'm sorry books have been no consolation either. And your tv has been of little help. <br /><br />But you are resilient. I'm glad you've turned to your sketchbook and your puzzles and your plants and your cooking. <br /><br />Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-88267291762177432592021-04-17T12:42:44.232-04:002021-04-17T12:42:44.232-04:00I LOVE your new top photo.

Restaurants are open, beaches are open, and the weather is wonderful. It's funny that Canadians are permitted to travel here and return. We have many that have come to rent in our building and then after 3 weeks return to Canada. I 'm sure there must be special rules when they return from International travel.
