Carol has landed

Actually yesterday morning UK time. When she called Ian and I here it was just after 5pm, 10pm there. She was a bit tired, didn't get in a good nap after arriving at Lena's campus. The flight went well as did meeting up with Bev, then taking the train to Grimsby. She thought she and Lois would go into "town" today to have a look around. We may not hear from her until tomorrow evening.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, Ian and I are going about our business. I prepared supper last night, a pesto creamy pasta with polish sausage medallions mixed in. That hit the spot. Tonight Ian is out on OA business at the local Boy Scout camp - I did the grocery shopping, not much variation from what Carol buys, been paying more attention the last few trips to the grocery store with her. She's still the champ though!

I seem to be dealing with the "Flapper Follies" lately. Last week the flapper in our downstairs bathroom toilet starting letting water run into the bowl. It took me three trips to different stores to get a flapper that fit. Cripes it's just a standard toilet but it seems they don't sell a generic flapper anymore. The third one works fine now. Then this morning the upstairs commode failed! Well this time, one trip - one flapper, did the trick though it was purchased from a fourth store.
