I’ve been watching Blown Away on Netflix…

it is on my housemate’s computer and as I’ve watched season one and two I’ve been walking on the spot… getting lots of steps… I am now on season three and hope to catch up to the current episodes on season four…

the show is about glass blowing and has been great fun to watch…

I have loved Dale Chihuly’s work and it is so fun to watch the participants produce their art…

so, this morning at 8:15, Ron, from Hameed Appliance Repair Inc. arrived…

forty-five minutes, and $250 later, he was gone…

in between, he fixed a foot that had come off the stove and replaced the bake element…

woohoo…

at first I thought he was taking the stove’s blood pressure as he had these nifty little pads that pumped up and raised the side of the stove so he could get in to work on the foot, which fought pretty hard, but he won the battle, lol…

the element was an easy fix as he had one in his vehicle, it took minutes to replace…

we had a lovely conversation about the lifespan of older versus newer appliances and I got a card for someone they recommend for refurbished appliances… hope I don’t need that for a long time;-)…

so I think I will roast something for supper…

oven…

had my youngest grandson over for dinner last night…

had to think for a while to decide on what to make as the oven is still not working, lol…

decided on spaghetti with meatballs and sauce… while I was making the meatballs, I was remembering doing that with my dad… he made great ones and they were very small… and they never fell apart, lol…

mine came out okay, but a few of them did seem to disintegrate… I used the broiler, which is still working, to warm up the garlic bread…

my grandson is on a moneymaking kick as there is a big school trip planned for next year, so he did some shovelling for me in the garden… the plan was to move the snow around that was in the mountain at the edge of the deck… he did a good job;-)…

hopefully this will help in the melting process…

recently I purchased a new set of nozzles for the hose after having looked for a long time for just the right ones…

today I used one to top up the hot tub and plunge tub…

this nozzle seems to have more pressure so the filling took way less time than previously;-)…

made me happy as it was a bit chilly out there…

spent time today with my tech specialist as they worked on a few problems with my main computer…

technology is always a wonderful thing when it is working and a pain in the butt when it isn’t…

took us a while, but eventually we were able to get everything on the list tended to…

some of the issues revolved around the way I enter some apps…

now I have to remember the new ways, lol… wish me luck…

yesterday, at 8:00 am, saw the beautiful trees across the creek with the sun shining brightly on them…

at 11:30 big beautiful snowflakes were coming down…

at 5:00 pm the sun was shining and water was running down the street…

lots of changes throughout the day…

today was Pi day, lol, so we decided to bake a frozen pizza for supper… it wasn’t cooked after the correct amount of time, nor after more time… eventually we realized that the oven wasn’t heating…

tried using the frypan, but that did not work…

so, then we ordered…

it was tasty, particularly after we’d been trying to have supper for a long time, lol…

now to figure out why the oven isn’t working…

yesterday I had a good time cleaning and organizing the upstairs hall bookshelves… I had hoped to spend time on the deck, but it was overcast and cool so instead I tackled the shelves… apparently the last time may have been in February of 2014…

it is quite a gift that I can wait until I feel like doing something to do it, lol…

and Tuesday morning I was ready to go…
