Sugar is giving me problems already so laundry will be put off for one more day. In the meantime, while I wait for my levels to come up to where they need to be, I’ll work on a scrappy string block and listen to a book. #SilverLining #Quilting #AudioBook

I had a lovely marinated chook to cook today, I stuffed it my way but I didn’t get it in the oven until later than I should have. I just checked it & it’s not cooked through. Now there is a pie in the small oven for my dinner. The chicken I will continue cooking & just reheat tomorrow night, damnit! It will be nice though & I’m sure I’ll be picking at it later anyway .
I also never got my pittosporums trimmed again either! I started watering first & the hose carked it at the hose reel end. After going through all my bits & pieces I had to make a trip to Bunnings anyway. An hour later I’ve fixed it & watered my very dry garden, filled up the birdbath & I was too fed up to get the hedge clippers out & this is also the reason why my chook was put on late .
#DaysLikeThis . Plenty of food for the days to come though #SilverLining.

Not rejoicing at the US being shut out from trade in a way it never has been, but it’s an opportunity to shoot film and TV at container yards and ports while they’re not being used. Kinda racking my mind for any stories that need that sort of location #film #tv #ShootingLocation #SilverLining

“The world’s 500 richest people are seeing the biggest two-day loss ever recorded by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index as fallout from President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement continues to roil global markets,” Bloomberg reports.

“As of 12:20 p.m. in New York, billionaires on the wealth list had lost $485 billion since Thursday’s stock market open.”

Maybe... They are trying to jumpstart a new economy where we all buy local and lower our carbon footprints?

I've got to say it. The Republicans' efforts to make the USA into a pariah state and crash the global economy, if successful, will at least end up causing a major reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. #SilverLining #ClimateSky #EnergySky

I accumulated a LOT of points on Southwest with all the flights to LA last year.

So I just booked my 2nd bereavement week for only $12.

On the bright side, if the #TrumpTariffs send our economy spiralling into a recession it might at least bring housing prices down.

The #fires have forced my daughter, her boyfriend, and their two dogs to stay with us until their power is restored and the air becomes breathable.
