Woo-hoo. It wasn't bad. Just had part 2 of my crown. I had been speaking with the dentist and using the same one for years! They reviewed part one and the stuff I had told them. They chose the less stinky one part crown instead of the 3 part process and it went well.
How is everyone?

Lynn thank you so much for your hug with a fold, cheered us both up after cleaning and mopping the garden all day after the red ran, well sludge more like
Crazy weather! The fog finally lifted and at 8pm it is 13c outside! This is March and we still can have snow till the end of April. It is crazy cause you need clothing that can cover +13c down to -20c!
Kathy will be proud. I did Walmart and it was OK. I think because everyone was outside and not in the store!
Jan that is crazy! I had never heard of that before! Grumpy was completely blown away by the picture of the town hall.
Oh I finally watched the last episode of Masked Singer but I still don't know why the Queen of hearts only had one eye?
We spent Wednesday and yesterday clearing up the mess, it’s been raining off and on so every time it stops we run out with brushes to sweep the sludge onto the garden, we both ache !

Yay Lynn! I may do walmart later today. The last time I went (Tuesday) I was the rarity wearing a mask. I'm afraid people are getting lax since numbers have been down here.

DH and I still. wear masks when we go out shopping, but we are the rare ones. Our numbers are down to 1.2% test positive. It hasn’t been that low since early 2020. That has got to be a good sign!
I will continue to wear a mask. Grumpy is a federal worker so their masks stay on.
Tomorrow is the first day of spring and we have rain with warm temperatures. Never got to see the Worm Moon!
I saw the worm moon twice. First at 9 p.m. as it was peeking through the trees. Second time was at 3 a.m. when I woke up and looked out the window.
I also will continue wearing a mask indoors. I have not worn a mask outdoors during the whole pandemic.

Ina here in Spain you would have been fined as it was the law that you wore a mask at all times. Police were driving around checking, we saw two people stopped on the seafront. Now it’s just indoors and the supermarket workers tell people to leave if they forget.
Lynn we’ve been watching Sherlock Holmes, the new version with Benedict Cumberpatch, I can’t stand him actually, you know some people are so woke and so annoying ! they have made it all futuristic, well to me it’s too much, I preferred the old version but Steve likes it although he doesn’t like him either but enjoys the program
have you heard of the program Life on Mars? It’s brilliant , it’s about a young policeman who has a car accident and he’s in a coma but he finds himself back in 1973, ist a box set so if you can find it have a look,
Not sure as we’ve only just started watching it, I really don’t like him, always pontificating about something ,these celebrities think we want to listen to them spouting off, promising to take in refugees but they never do!
Not a big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch whatever the spelling. I watched life on Mars and then the follow up one..uugh can't remember what it was called.
the Agatha movie is set after her divorce from her first husband and before she married Max. Having Only seen pictures of Agatha christie when she was old, it's different to have her young.
Yes the clothes were of the time, I loved Gene, made me laugh when he said you’re Nicked as Steve said that’s what they used to say when he first joined, haha .
Police women in England were a separate Force from the men at one time , you can see why can’t you!
I am playing Challenge cardmaking, and hopefully, doing some catching up, as well. This is a sympathy card for an SCS cardmaking friend whose Mom passed away in late February.
It is for the S2S21NOV - 11/5/21 challenge, Sponging, Brayering, Blending. I opened my new Blending Brushes to make the Sunrise circle background behind my bird! Here is my card: Bringing Comfort in Loss!

It turned out to be a good day! I went out for some errands. I found iodine. So I saw that if you put a drop of iodine on your skin and it gets absorbed then you are low in iodine. OK finally found iodine but it is clear!? Why? OK I have a growth on my thyroid and having iodine has helped keep it small. The only easy way I saw to get iodine was salt but I rarely use it. On well. I figure a bit on my skin won't hurt. Since I am not ingesting it, I figure I can't hurt myself too bad. We shall see.
Grumpy called me and we met for a meal at 4pm. Tried a place that is supposed to have great Montreal smoke beef brisket. It was OK. Then went to the Lindt store for high cocoa chocolate so I won't be tempted to eat too much. Then grumpy dropped me off. Oh it is an outdoor mall and I got my steps in. PLUS I saw a corgi!

Yes Lynn they were WPC. if you Google Dust storm in Almeria you can see a video of the dust storm coming in from the sea and how it turned the sky orange, it’s in quick time , scary and spooky, never seen it do that in the twenty years we’ve been here .
There were tornados touching down just about 1.5 miles north of my son's place last night. They are all safe, but a friend of his had major damage to his house.

Some of this weather is just so scary! Glad everyone is OK!
Sorry Ina no crafting time only bathroom time. This morning sickness is pretty much all day sickness. Yuck. I am only getting a few hours a week of OK time.
I scored today. I've been looking for the big shot sizzix switch Plus and everywhere I've checked even online is out of stock. I went to hobby Lobby today and I did not see any but just before I left I asked one of the girls who was working in that area and she said yes we have them in the back! I said I want one! I signed up online to be notified when they were back in stock and never heard from them so I'm wondering why they had them in the back and not on the shelf! Either way, I'm so glad I asked because I now have an electric Big shot.

I am still alive. Inflammation took over my body. Thankfully grumpy brought me food and opened my meds for me. The joys. My hands are usable again and the Inflammation is getting under control. Gonna go see my doc with grumpy. Doc listens when grumpy explains how he has to help me. Something needs to change
Lynn, that looks like a simple sketch to me. Sketch challenges are a guide, not an exact science. So, start out with an A2 measurement of 5.5 x 4.25 for the base, and then keep that ratio for the focus panel. In other words, if you subtract 1 inch from each side, that would be 4.5 x 3.25 inches. Then you would just eyeball the cross strip, perhaps 1.5 to 2 inches. If you click on the icon, it should come up in a printable, that is an actual A2 size.

OK I finally slept..it was a few days. I was trying hard to be awake for my appointments this week. One was booked about 9 months ago! On well. I can't fight it so I am time shifting and have no idea what time zone I will land in. This time shifting got old a looking time ago.
How is everyone? I am having a hard time keeping in touch with my son. He has a new google phone and I can't have more than a few minutes conversation with him. Uugghh. I know he is not far away but it makes me feel for those who have a ton of distance between them and their loved ones. Restrictions haven't helped. Big huge hugs
