Well, the snow arrived this weekend … and it keeps on coming. It will probably get rained away by Thursday (American Thanksgiving) and come back a week later. I think it’s going to be a long winter with lots of snow thanks to La Nina. But Doug likes running around in the snow like a madman, so at least someone’s happy. The maskless protests arrived in London on Saturday – regions in Ontario going into full lock-down and these idiots are protesting wearing a mask – the result of that will probably being us (London-Middlesex) following in short order☹ We were supposed to be getting ready for our Caribbean cruise that was scheduled to leave next Saturday for 12 days – but that was cancelled until next November. With any luck and all the news about a possible vaccine being available in about 6 months we won’t have to cancel that one 😊 I’m still going to be on vacation, though 😊 I can only carry over 5 days vacation from work over to next year so I’m taking a week and a half off. I think I’ll do a virtual vacation – lots of new recipes to try, languages to learn, and memories from last year’s cruise 😊 Last Sunday I made a Pork Rib Roast with Mushroom Gravy and Hungarian Potatoes – quite good. Last week was leftovers and a few new dishes; last Tuesday was Fish Veracruz and Green Beans; Wednesday Steak with Baked Beans and Fried Potatoes; Friday was BBQ Bratwurst Sausages and Potato Salad; and Saturday – Swedish Meatballs with Fresh Pasta. Last night, a Seafood Chowder – shrimp, scallops, cod, salmon, lobster and crab – turned out excellent. And made enough of it that we will be having that for supper tonight as well 😊 Fixed the dishwasher that broke down last Monday 😊 ... But the tv is having hiccups today – keeps turning itself on and off – hmmm, a little too like Poltergeist ☹ Saturday night we finished watching ‘Russian Doll’ – a rather strange series in which Nadia, who is celebrating her 36th birthday, keeps dying and then waking up in the same spot. Kind of like ‘Groundhog Day’ (one of my favorite movies of all time) but with enough twists to keep it interesting. Natasha Lyonne (Nicki on ‘Orange Is The New Black’) plays the lead. I’m Still following ‘Pablo Escobar – Patron del Mal’ – kind of – I’m losing interest in it so I might not finish watching the series – still 20 episodes to go. I’ve watched the first two seasons of ‘Borgen’ – the first was really good; the second kind of lost its direction and was rather boring ☹ But I’m halfway through the 3rd which is the best season yet 😊 I just have to wait a couple of years for Season 4. We are looking for some new shows to watch – I followed the RSM PGA Tournament in Georgia – 7 Canadians qualified but only 2 made the cut – Corey Connors and Roger Sloan. Corey Connors tied for 10th ( the second time in two weeks) with a payout of $174 K U.S.; Roger Sloan got $56 K U.S. for 23rd place. Lots of upsets in the NFL games on Sunday … but my Seahawks played last Thursday against the Cardinals – and won!! They are playing Eagles, Giants, Jets, and Washington in the next four weeks – that should set them up pretty good for getting into the playoffs!! Have a great and safe week … we will see you in a bit!!
