One recent evening, the local deputy sheriff was at my door. Turns out he was doing a wellness check on a neighbour and was looking for a key - I didn't have one and next I knew a battering ram was being used - very loud! Fortunately neighbour is OK, however their door isn't.
Week ending 18 December, 2021:
Omicron Cases Explode In Florida but as of Nov 29th Florida Tourism Tops Pre-Pandemic Levels
and they just keep on coming; so once again we have decided to curtail our activities with others.So what's a girl to do? Well I have taken to having a giggle about British weather terms, for instance, we have recently heard, mainly on the BBC descriptions of conditions such as:
- nuisance cooling wind
- high kinda in wrong place for good weather
- anticyclonic gloom
- murky
- crisp
- summer a muddle
- sun developing
- dry with clear spells
- sharp showers - as noted by my friend HW who asks are soft ones an option?
- The cool won’t last but the crisp will
- settled weather already a bit frayed around the edges
- ‘You get a lot of weather.’
- Jet stream on full gas
We did have a lovely Christmas with my sister who finally got her combo birthday/Christmas present quilt! Also got together with some cousins before the COVID really hit - yippee!
Here's some Christmas lights at the Florida Botanical Gardens. There was even a tree rigged with lights to react to our singing. Very well done - takes 4 guys a month to put up.
Displayed on larger bed than the 3/4 quilt was made for complete with matching pillow cases |
Now back to the beach ...
