This weather is not exactly helping me stay focused on my school work. lol Since my bit of shopping last night, I don't foresee me doing any spending today or tomorrow, well there are no plans for any spending anyway. No idea what I'll either make or scrounge up for dinner tonight or tomorrow. I need to wash p some dishes, and spot clean the bathroom. I will try to check in again later...

Slept till 5:15 but had stayed up till 11 PM Friday to watch 2 episodes of the new (to us) season of The Great British Baking Show. Worked outside for 2 hours watering, weeding, and what could be generally described as fussing over the plants. Hung out a load of laundry which dried fairly quickly in the warm winds. Picked 2 more cucumbers.
Checked the potato barrels and dug out 2 good sized Yukon Gold potatoes which I added to our lunch. They took only 5 minutes in the microwave and were so buttery and tender. It will be hard to keep from digging around in the barrels while waiting for the plants to die back.
Church tomorrow. Everyone have a wonderful weekend. less

Cooler and overcast here today but I am making the most of the cooler temps as we are forecast a heatwave next week - known as the Spanish plume as it's coming up from the iberian peninsula.
My young friend stayed over last night and we went out for brunch before she had to leave. It was lovely to see her and I am going down to hers in Oxford in August for 4 days.
I managed to download all my existing Kindle library on to my new device so I am feeling very pleased with myself. Tonight I have made chicken chasseur which is coming on nicely in the oven. I love shallots so I have put plenty of those in, even though they are so fiddly to peel.
I collected 3 pictures from the framer. He's a bit of a daydreaming type but very artistic so I went with his suggestions and I'm very pleased with the results. I'll hang them tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. less

going to retro video game show. always wanted too but always working. but have a sleepover for guides tonight w horses so off this weekend. food shopped for that already and just need to get stuff together. pack etc. paperwork.. a short but sweet one. got some cheap movie coupons at costco too.
wanted to go see the incredibles 2 tomorrow but will see. apparently realtor coming over to mils place at 3 tomorrow so he wants to be there...I said the place is a mess still full of furniture etc. and frankly mils bedroom smells like poop from carpet or ensuite. but apparently realtor stages the place for free. of course it isn't free but in the commission. but she is bad with money so would think that. so dh has to step up.
not sure what is happens foodwise etc either. will see what the day brings. less
I came across an interesting survey this week. It was about the gig economy and retirement.
One interesting finding was that "49% of people over the age of 55 are saving for retirement with their side gig." I know that many people feel like they're behind in retirement savings, but I didn't...
This week I read an article on USA Today How the SS Benefit Formula Works. Here's a quote from the article:
"Social Security is the largest retirement program in the United States, but far too many people don't understand how their retirement benefit is determined. Knowing how Social Security benef...
In this week's issue we share an article that may surprise or infuriate you. It's called Women Are Flunking Retirement Planning - What a quiz showed about preparations for retirement. If it makes you mad, please don't shoot the messenger. We're only reporting the results! And we're doing our best to...
The other day I was thinking about the topics that we're taught that you shouldn't discuss in polite company. You know the list: religion, sex, money.
I know that there are exceptions but for the most part it is wise to avoid certain topics in mixed company situations. At least it is if you...
