After the various excitements of the last few days, I'm starting a quiet week.
Breakfast, toasted sweet potato bread and fresh blueberries
Bit of quiet weaving, different yarn, calming and undemanding
I finished my hoopla e-book just as the software went away. My libraries promise that they'll apply the saved money to acquiring books for Libby (Overdrive). Good. That way I can borrow them on my Kindle, easier on the eyes.
Sunshine again today, maybe a walk, always the chair yoga, now a morning fixture. Maybe bake bread.
Today the livin is easy! So grateful.
Happy day, everyone, wishing you an easy day.
Have a wonderful Sunday, Boud!
ReplyDeleteI will, since you recommend it!
DeleteWE have a lovely day here! Most unusual. Enjoy your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you haven't jinxed it now.
DeleteThat breakfast looks delicious. Chair yoga is sounding good to me.
ReplyDeleteThe undemanding program I follow is great. I like warrior poses one and two, make me feel quite accomplished.
DeleteEnjoy your quiet day! I'm going to try my hand at baking soda bread later today.
ReplyDeleteSoda bread. I haven't made it in a while. Noted.
DeleteI downloaded the Libby app but having trouble getting it started. let's me get so far and then the buttons don't work. I have to get assistance from the librarians here. in the meantime I checked out two books.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like it once you get it working for you.
DeleteOur library uses hoopla too so I wonder if it will be on the chopping block here as well. I've only used it a couple times so it won't make a huge difference in my life. I am, however, toying with the thought of getting RC an e-reader but I rather wonder if he would use it enough to warrant the price. I've tried to read magazines on my computer but they don't seem to want to embiggen the print large enough to be able to read comfortably. Will continue to ponder!
ReplyDeleteHoopla was never very well done, also expensive. I wonder if an e reader will answer the magazine question, too? It's easier on your eyes than a constantly refreshing screen.
DeleteMy standard breakfast is granola with either raisins or blueberries, preferrably the latter. When we go out, which isn't often, I pretty well whole hog.
ReplyDeleteAs we've noticed!
DeleteIt's a wonderful time of year for the livin to be easy.....That sweet potato bread and blueberries is a perfect breakfast. I like the colorful weaving.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd have enjoyed that breakfast with me. Pity you don't live closer. My neighbors often get samples.
DeleteLibby has not ever given me any problems. It's good and necessary to have quiet days. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI've found Libby pretty easy, too.
DeleteThe problem with Libby is that I feel like I've already read everything on it that I want to. That can't possibly be true. I know that.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how your library administers it. Different libraries, different choices. Just like the physical collection.
DeleteThat sweet potato bread looks yummy! I hadn't heard of "Libby," but I wondered if it's the same as "Sora," which we use in our library. So I Googled. Turns out they're both owned by Overdrive. Libby is for public libraries and Sora is for schools. What did we ever do without Google?
ReplyDeleteI figured they were related. Very useful, too.
DeleteWhite Rabbit! I forgot until today. I always think of you the first of the month
ReplyDeleteHave a delightful June!
That's very cool! Happy June to you!
DeleteI use Overdrive every day, and don't know where I'd be without it for audiobooks. Maybe cleaning my kitchen while listening to podcasts out of sheer desperation? No, scratch that. Won't happen.
ReplyDeleteI do miss an Overdrive feature that disappeared when it became Libby - specifically the ability to download audiobooks on my laptop so I could listen to them without being online. Now that download option exists only on a cellphone. Maybe a tablet too, I don't know. But definitely not on a laptop.
I think the download still works on my tablet, great for when WiFi breaks down, which it does. I do have a few favorite podcasts for reference when I'm out of books. But it's such a joy to have access to books while I'm doing other things.
DeleteI don’t think I’ve ever eaten sweet potato bread. It looks good!
ReplyDeleteI just used a banana bread recipe and subbed cooked sweet potato for baba as. I added a teaspoon of water because it's less liquid than banana.
DeleteQuiet weeks are perfect. Enjoy
