The sun is shining but, it is still quite nippy out there. If you are in a sheltered area, such as our balcony on the back of the house, it faces south, it is quite nice, however, at the front, bitter wind makes it so cold.
We only had a dusting of snow yesterday, no freezing rain which was predicted for us. The sun today has some heat in it to melt some of the snow, it is nice to see the grass finally.
Bathroom only needs some drawer liners and everything put back and it's done. We have no plans to do any other room, in my opinion they need to be updated a bit, but we are not prepared to do it right now. If anything was decided, it would need to be done by a professional, we can't do that kind of work anymore. Finally, we had to admit it, after the aches and pains from what we have just finished.
Hubby had Dr. appointment yesterday for his diabetes, his blood work was in the acceptable range so he was pleased about that, however, Dr. suggested he needs to walk. I need to do that also, so after the clocks are set forward this coming weekend, we will be going for a walk after dinner as it will still be daylight. Doing a short walk to start and increasing the distance as he feels he can more.
Got our weekly groceries this morning, cereal shelves still looking quite bare, and the store must be doing inventory, as there were a lot of people milling around the shelves with pieces of paper in their hands. Just hope they are not rearranging the shelves.
Gasoline prices here are rising every day, people are complaining, but they need it to get around. It is almost impossible for some people to even consider walking to work. My youngest daughter E travels at least 20 Kms to and from work five days a week. After being on her feet in the hospital all day, there is now way she could even think about walking.
I could say more about the hardships some people seem to complain about here, but I am keeping my mouth shut.
Have a great day.
I think more people will turn to public transit although it's not always convenient. When I was working I tried it for a week. My twenty minute drive took 45 minutes on two buses, not including the walk to and from the bus stops!
ReplyDeleteI must admit never been on public transit buses, for the same reason.
DeleteThe petrol is the same here. It's over AUD2 a litre. Our youngest son has no option but to drive to work so we slip him a $50 note on a regular basis. His wife goes back to work next week and will be in the same position. It's so hard on those with low incomes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree it is going to be hard for everyone. A lot of young families have had life so easy for a long time, it will be a big blow to them. Everyone is going to have to make big adjustments to their living habits.
