What are you doing today?

Really lazy day today. Went for a walk this morning. Struggling to think of what else I did! Still it’s nice to take it easy once in a while.

My day was similar.

However, I did phone some of the stalls in the farmers' market to ascertain what days - if any - they will be present during this coming week.

Christmas Day falling on a Saturday is - to put it mildly - exceedingy inconvenient for them, although the actual market itself - as is the tradition approaching Christmas, - will run all week.

Some will show up Thursday (23rd), one stall said Friday (24th), another offered to do a delivery on Wednesday.

Anyway, these days, I have learned "not to sweat the small stuff"; there is far too much by way of "big stuff" that makes calls on your time, attention, emotions.

Hope they have a nice selection for you. What about that French bakery? Hopefully they might have a nice fruit tart for you to go with a baguette.

For now, I am amply supplied with vegetables, and with bread - better to eat (and finish) what is in the house.

However, I'll phone the French bakery next week - my recollection is that they tend to take at least a week off around Christmas - and place an order to be collected on either 23rd or 24th, an order for baguette, rye bread, and perhaps a brioche.

I have ordered a tarte tatin, (in an award winning restaurant) which shall be ready for me on Thursday; and, I shall collect the porter cake that I have ordered, also on Thursday.

Re vegetables, well, in truth, I should be fine; above all, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, garlic are what I have in mind - besides, root vegetables are readily available this time of year.

We got in our Bones coffee order, this was direct, so it's extremely fresh roasted, JFC, it was a bit late because they said they got like 20,000 orders ... :oops:

This is a cool, boutique coffee roaster here in FL, I've gotten several of their product from Amazon, but I had a nice discount ordering direct and they had a couple of options that weren't available through Amazon (and it's probably MUCH fresher). Everything has this sort of rock-a-billy, skeleton aesthetic, it's very cool.

So this is weird ... we ordered direct, and I've never seen a Bones Coffee ad on TV, well, a few days after we got our order, we started seeing ads. It was local, via IP based local channels, so it could easily be targeted, but yeah, that's some Matrix level insanity ...

Anyway, the flavors are glorious, the beans are super fresh, we opened the dark roast (see below) and it's GLOWING with oily goodness :D It's a rare flavored whole bean option, glorious!

After being teleported to a world without caffeine, Bones must search for the book of Dark Chocolate to get back home. The evil Lord DeCaf has other plans. Armed with nothin' but a rippin' chainsaw and his lone mug of dark roast coffee, Bones must vanquish his foes, find the book, and maybe even save the girl. Hell yeah, baby.

Army of Dark Chocolate is an absolute treat created with 100% Brazilian Arabica roasted perfectly dark and a splash of decadent dark chocolate flavor.

Flavoured coffee with rum, coconut… shudder. [emoji1]
 
just feeling like crap with this mixed co id vaccine. walked to the theater to watch Spiderman as the weather was too nasty to bother biking. had our grandkid over for a bit going to be at 7 cant keep my eyes open same with y wife but she slept in 2 extra hours.
 
Took my camera for a walk. The woods were a lot muddier than I thought they would be. Even in waterproof trousers and boots, it was not enjoyable. Didn't get any good images either.
But I didn't want to end up working half the day either, so it was better than that.
 
Being a father or a mother doesn’t make someone a better person by default. It requires lots of effort, and many mistakes are being made on the parenthood journey.

However, one strong evidence of having done a decent job is the length and strength of the first hug of a returning son. The whole weekend has been a strong moving experience.

May you all have a blessed, wonderful, loving, and happy Christmas and here’s to a better 2022. The world and its viruses might present challenges, but ultimately what matters is within us. Beauty and love still surround us, we just need to keep our eyes open.

A big hug to all of you.
 
And now it appears that I will not receive my delivery of coffee until tomorrow.

That doesn't bother me, but I would prefer if companies set out realistic timetables from the outset, - and met those deadlines - rather than setting delusional, fantastic, and - frankly - unrealistic and over-optimistic timetables which they haven't a hope of meeting.
 
Bloody cold here this morning. I might have to put on a jacket when I go out. Out will entail a visit to the cardiologist for a PETscan and an echocardiogram. Let’s hope I do better on those than I did on the calcium score which led to the order of today’s tests.
