Life Gets Tee-jus. (1)

 The sun comes up and the sun goes down

The hands on the clock keep a-goin' 'round

I just get up and it's time to lay down

Life gets tee-jus, don't it?

 (Walter Brennan recorded it but I do not know i he wrote it) 

My feelings exactly and now the Blog format has changed again and I am trying to find my way around the new one;  I don't need any more changes in my on-line life just right now.  The thought of paying bills still sends me into a cold sweat and now my printer has died.

I bought another one but when I started to read the installation instructions I got that cold sweaty feeling again so I have called on SIL and GB1 for help.  As SIL said, I could certainly do it on my own (probably he is right but . . .) -  and the document which I need to print arrived in some unknown format and I can't copy and paste it so I have sent it to another email address for safe keeping.  At least I can still email . . .

I ordered some carpet runners  -  12 metres of them  -  so that the cats' paws do not get damaged as they get older.  They arrived this morning and Poppy thinks that they are fine but Parsifal is avoiding them and jumps over them if he needs to cross over.  They are not very beautiful, being basically brown but so is the apartment so they look the part.

We are still in lock-down although the only Covid-19 cases here have been returned travelers and our border is still firmly closed so there are not many of those and they all have to go into quarantine.  We are all keeping social distancing but no-one is wearing masks.  I have mine ready for if they are needed.  There is talk of opening the border before Christmas so maybe we will have a first wave here and I will get to wear my masks eventually.

The Limerick:-

God's plan made a hopeful beginning
But man spoiled his chances by sinning.
We trust that the story
Will end in God's glory,
But at present the other side's winning.
