Friday morning I had an appointment to have my teeth cleaned and only had to wait a few minutes before getting into the chair…

everything went well and I was happy to only pay a tiny piece of the invoice… thanks to the CDCP… I was pleased because previously my dentist had advised they wouldn’t be participating in the program…

I usually don’t eat before my appointment, so on the way home I got a breakfast burrito;-)… yum…

and then I admired my goody bag treats, lol…

I’ve been going to this dentist for years, but still stress before and during the appointment…

computer technology has not been my friend recently…

since our changeover to Shaw, in September, the printer hasn’t worked… it would not connect to the wifi…

my housemate tried numerous times to get it to connect, without success…

we ordered a special cord to connect the laptop directly to the printer… and that didn’t work either;-(…

just a few days ago, my housemate turned the router on and off a number of times and it finally connected… yay…

since then I have printed the big batch of photos that I’d been trying to get done for ages;-)… woohoo…

the desktop computer has been a bit grumpy for quite some time…

a month ago or so it just stopped working… I thought maybe it was the fan as I didn’t seem to be hearing any noise from it, so I turned it off and left it alone, lol…

recently my housemate discovered that it wasn’t working and checked on it…

of course it started up without a problem… it is like it knows someone who understands something is there so it behaves itself… but it was working very slowly…

next, I contacted my computer geek son-in-law to climb in and see what the problem was…

he got in there, looked around, and while he was looking it started to work at an excellent speed, sigh…

next, I will work on it for a while and see how it behaves…

a few weeks ago one of my McIntosh mugs was broken as we met in the garden for our weekly gathering… I’m sure it had nothing to do with the table I had put on a slant, lol…

we really enjoyed the opportunity to be outside, as nice warm days are getting few and far between…

after much searching online, I ordered a chickadee mug in my favourite shape…

it arrived today and I was pleased to see that it will look nice when I hold it…

most mugs only have the design visible for right handed people…

our most recent visit to Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar at The Leaf was great…

we had a bit of a giggle because we were seated exactly where we were the last time we were there, lol…

it is a nice spot as you can people watch as everyone is entering and leaving The Leaf…

I had mussels, which were tasty… we shared some focaccia bread, and my grandson had the beef short rib ragu…

always a treat ;-)…

another delightful visit to The Leaf…

we arrived around 4:30 pm Thursday and the biomes were nearly empty of people… which was wonderful for us;-)…

it really is astonishing how the plants have thrived since the opening in December 2022…

the Tropical biome is lush with greenery and it was fun to notice changes since I was last there…

then we moved into the Mediterranean biome… for the first time ever, it was very cool…

the Yasuragi display is lovely… we spent quite a bit of time studying the bonsai and noting how old many of them were…

what an amazing art-form…

can’t wait to go back and enjoy this beautiful space…

today we removed the wired Geeni motion sensing light/camera on the garage that no longer works since we changed to Shaw, sigh… this one, as well as two cameras inside the house, stopped working, but the one in the garden is still working perfectly…
