the mandevilla looks amazing… even though it rained last night it was in good shape…

  
picked up some peas and baby cucumbers at the Farmers Market downtown today, so I added them to my dinner plate… I also went outside and picked a few of the green peppers… 

unfortunately they are hot and powerful… put one in my mouth and started to cough and choke… had to take quite a few drinks of water to get my breath back, lol… and there are tons of peppers on the plants…

  
got a letter in the mail saying that Hydro were having trouble getting a reading on my power meter… they suggested I take a picture of the meter so they could read it… I must say reading it has been difficult… wondered why they hadn’t suggested this before… way simpler for me and they get the reading much quicker, without it being done incorrectly…

power in a number of places…

score…

early this morning the sky was quite spectacular…

  
it was the aftermath of a storm that put out the electricity in a whole section of the city… the one I live in:-)…

we have a contest going at work about motion of any kind, and I had big plans to walk for half an hour on the treadmill… apparently silly thing needs power…

happily it came on with enough time to walk for twenty minutes…

sitting in a field right now watching my oldest grandson play soccer… bit chilly but great to have the chance to see him play… 

  
great game with a few goals… score!

after I was dressed and ready to leave this morning, the power went out…

called Hydro with my cell because the house phone was dead… then I spent some time trying to decide whether to stay home or go to the office…

decided to head to work… on the way out I took a few pictures of the first morning glories… they seeded themselves from last year…

IMG_7376.JPGand they are purple…

got into the garage and went to push the button to open the garage door… duh… maybe I wasn’t going to work, lol…

called my daughter and while she was on the phone I pulled the cord that released the motor from the door…

opened it and drove the car out… closed it but it wouldn’t lock… didn’t know what to do and it was late, so I left it unlocked…

colleagues suggested it would reset when the power came on…

got a call about noon from Hydro advising that it was back…

when I got home I manually opened it and put the car in… tried the button and the motor came on but the door didn’t do anything… tried opening it higher but that still didn’t work…

went across the lane and asked my neighbour for help… he came over and showed me how to hook the motor back to the door…

if I have to do this again, will likely need to put the ladder in the empty garage to get up high enough, lol…

now, if only I can remember what to do…
