Weaving Spanish and Misfits

 Here's a heading I translated for myself!

It means clasped weft on a rigid heddle loom. So I expect that's perfectly clear to English speakers.  Yes?  My weaving Spanish is  moving faster than my weaving.

Misfits annoyed me again today. The new useless delivery map stated firmly that delivery was due 8:45 --9:15 am.  A minute later I checked and it's now due 12:45 --1:15 pm.  It also shows the driver heading for Philadelphia. That's the wrong direction if he plans to arrive here today. Breaking news: it arrived at 3 pm. I was sleeping, missed the Arrival of the Pink Van.

And my phone now can't access my bank app to deposit checks. They've "improved" the bank app, and the new version is no longer amicable or complicit or whatever that word is. Compatible. That's what it isn't.  And there's no app for my tablets. I think I can still pay bills through my browser, though.

Another user in the help function said they uploaded the new app and it doesn't offer check deposit anyway.   So there's one check I receive monthly I need to figure out. It may mean arranging a ride to the ATM.   Which involves remembering the PIN.  But I don't want to replace the phone for one small function.

And my dermatologist is retiring in September, despite having an appointment with me in October. There are no other dermas in the group, so my primary doctor gave me a couple of referrals to outside practitioners, lots of luck getting in there though. Fortunately I don't have any pressing issues I know of.

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln..

But this morning's walk, wearing the shady international spy hat I made, was lovely, greeting neighbors, hearing the frogs shout and jump into the water as I got near.


And the roses, probably planted by birds, we have a lot 

Then home to rest and read Wings, the magazine of the Xerces Society 

They're great people. We need to protect the insects because everything depends on keeping the web of life intact. Otherwise there's no point in fighting for our society.

And today's tussle with the weaving yielded results 

I'm finally getting the hang of this design. Now, when I make a mistake, I catch it and even know what's wrong. This is an advance on my previous mystification, and I'll take it.

Anyway, Misfits

I was sleeping on the job, well,  on the deck, officially reading, when the box arrived.

So here we are 


 

Sugar because I seem to be low, mixed grated cheese, with dandelion quiches in mind, block cheddar for tuna melt, pumpkin puree for probably desserts beaten with yogurt, q.v., 

Envy apples, bigger this week, peaches for fresh or sauce, depending on how sweet they are, teeny toy sweet peppers for maybe that tomato egg dish name escapes me but I never have peppers for it and now I do, Bananaz, strawberries for shakes and with yogurt.

Missing in action: cans for the food pantry, cilantro for me, poor us. Not available but them's the breaks in this opportunistic business model. I'm not complaining,  I get wonderful food at good prices. And I play fair with the food pantry.

Happy day everyone, there's good things all over.
