I’m a little late with the update … work kept piling up and getting in the way last week … bring on the big lottery win so that I can retire!! 😊 Two and half weeks into lockdown stay at home … doesn’t appear to be an end in sight with vaccines not getting sent from Pfizer / Moderna ☹ The numbers have come down a fair bit locally (from average 150 daily to about 30) but still a ways to go. … And elementary school children are back to school today … even though it’s a ‘stay at home’ lockdown – I don’t know which bright (?) politician figured that one out!! And … oh, yeah … Canada announced that they are stopping all flights to Mexico and the Caribbean until the end of April in order to cut down on pandemic cases ☹. I can’t see us being able to travel again until next year ☹ On a brighter note there doesn’t appear to be a civil war in the U.S. yet … Biden’s approval rating for his first week was actually a lot higher than Trump’s and Obama’s in their first week 😊 I do like what Biden has done … U.S. back with W.H.O.; immigration policies reinstated with Mexico, Middle East countries, etc..; he signed a whole whack of executive orders basically reversing everything Trump did during his four years, etc.. But he’ll probably hit a few road blocks in the next couple of months once Congress gets settled in. with three more weeks to go😊 The weather has been strange lately for this time of year … we’ve been nailed with snow last week – but not as bad as the States, but worse than eastern Ontario – and the temperature has been cold, has gone down to -20C (-4F) at night with the wind chill ☹ … But today we are up to a balmy -6 (21.2F) 😊. Okay, on to food … I haven’t done any new recipes lately … mainly doing old standards and leftovers … But, … I just got a new air fryer (I refuse to deep fry anything – I have a fear of oil fires 😊 ), and I should soon be getting a new Vitamix 7500 (2.2HP!! ) 😊 Those two pieces of gear should result in a lot of new recipes that weren’t possible before!! 😊 Kelly and I finished ‘Yellowstone’ on Prime – it finished on a cliff hanger, we will have to wait for Season 4 to come out to find out who lived. We’ve started watching ‘Flack’ on Prime – it’s a little strange, a little funny, a little sad – and it makes you wonder about famous people and their publicists that make them look good. I finished ‘Black Spot’ (‘Zone Blanche’) – excellent police supernatural thriller. Continuing on with French series I watched two short shows – ‘The Chalet’ and ‘The Frozen Dead’. I don’t know what it is with the French – their Netflix series are horrible!! They should take lessons from the Belgians – almost every single Belgian series that I have watched over the past year have been amongst the best on Netflix. ‘Hotel Beausejour’, ‘The Break’, ‘Undercover’, ‘Tabula Rasa’, the list goes on! 😊 There have been a couple of PGA events over the last two weeks … not very exciting, and the Canadian performances have been … mehh … at best. No football this past weekend … waiting for the Super Bowl next Sunday – as much as I don’t like Tom Brady I hope that he and Tampa Bay win at home!! (I’m not a big fan of Kansas’ Mahomes) Have a great and safe week … we will see you in a bit!!
