well, that was fun;-)…

ordered an arched trellis online and it arrived a few days ago… I was a little worried because the package was taped up a lot and I wondered if all the pieces were going to be inside…

I hadn’t planned to put it together until the snow was gone, but was a bit worried about missing pieces and what I would do if I didn’t sort it out till later…

when it was undone, some of the bags appeared to have been opened and then re-closed… and, there were no instructions…

took a while, but after looking at the information from the link where I bought it, it came together nicely…

currently it is in three pieces… the two sides and the arch… not sure I could get it outside if I join it all together… the final two cross pieces and screws are waiting to finish it up…

might take the pieces out to the garage and finish it, or just wait for the snow in the side garden to melt so I can put it in its new home…

sure hope it fits the way I want…

went to PTE with my theatre buddy and another friend to see Space Girl…

the show was terrific and the set was quite unique… there was a great deal of technology used, which made it even more fun…

ordered a water and paid using technology for the payment system as well…

amazing how this type of technology has improved over the last few years… seems like it is everywhere now;-)…

after some issues with the computer upstairs, it finally connected to the internet so I was able to work on the Mylio photo program I’d purchased a few months ago…

at last, after trying for a long time, it was able to delete duplicates pictures in my computer and laptop… I knew there were a lot and of the 192,000 images, it deleted 98,543…

it took hours, but the process has now been completed…

although, it found a whole bunch more photos… yikes…

going to need to spend some time deleting some of the multiples of various shots…

I am getting better at deleting excess shots right after I take them;-)…

I’ve been having trouble with the computer upstairs… for the last few weeks it kept advising that it wasn’t connected to the internet… tried many things, but nothing seemed to work… the wifi had been coming and going as well…

a few days ago I went to call MTS about my services and thought I should just take a quick look to be sure it was still disconnected…

and, of course, it connected right away, lol…

when I spoke with a technician, they advised they did something while we were on the call and it shouldn’t be a problem anymore…

I guess we will see;-)…

thanks to a suggestion from a friend, we picked up some porcelain filler for the stove and basement pedestal sink…

after sanding, painting, re-sanding, and drying a number of times, the stove looks great… can’t spot the fix unless you get real close and know where to look…

sadly, I forgot to get a before picture…

the sink is taking a bit more time…

but coming along nicely…

when the MTS people were here the other day, they replaced the remote for the bedroom tv…

the good news is that now I won’t need to press my finger through the remote to make some of the actions happen, lol…

at the last minute they mentioned that the new remote didn’t turn the tv on or off, or change the volume…

really 🤪…

the good news is that Google Home can turn it on and off and change the volume level…

my goodness, seemed like a very long day…

MTS came around noon and spent two hours outside (in the very cold weather)… going back and forth many times between a ladder up to wires in the back lane, through the snow, and up the side of the house… eventually, they made a connection which should double the speed of my internet….

then they spent over an hour in the house changing the router and the boxes for the TVs…

none of it seemed to go smoothly, lol…

after they left, we spent another hour updating all of the Google Home devices and we still have a few that are not cooperating…

I was checking my pink avocado plant and was reminded of when it was first planted…

since then it has grown quite a bit and is still pink, although there are little bits of green on some leaves…

not sure if it has some type of issue or not… more research might suggest it is an albino plant and that it may not live for too long…

will continue to watch and see how it does…

had a great visit with my BS friends…

there were candy hearts, chocolates, nuts, and cards… oh yes, and coffee…

one of us is away and joined via FaceTime…

she is mixed in amongst the orchids, lol…

remember to let someone know you love them today and every day🥰…

up early on Friday to put out the box of pass-me-along items…

had to go back upstairs and get the phone to take a few shots of the beautiful moon…

tried to use my Nikon, but the battery was dead, lol… it is now sitting on the counter getting charged… I think I’ve hit something that is keeping it on wifi all the time which is why the battery keeps dying… going to have to do a bit of research to fix that😳…

so, the moon isn’t quite as clear as I was hoping for, but it does show how beautiful the morning was;-)…

good start to the day;-)…
