It seems like I no longer want to go outside from my comfort zone. Yesterday was only the second time I had my hair trim since the pandemic began. I have to wait for almost an hour before it was my turn at the parlor shop. The hair stylist asked me if I want to have my hair colored back to black. I told her I am waiting for it to turn all white. She smiled and I told her to remove the curls. My hair has that natural curl when it grows a little longer.
Overjoyed to see several fruits. I bought two kilos of mangoes. They are in season now because it is already summer. I haven’t tasted star apple the past three years so I also bought a kilo. It might take sometime again before I could go out. I am not that eager anyway, there are now so many alternatives in buying what one needs. Even medical prsecriptions are filled online. One of these days, I need to go back to my doctor though before my medical insurance expires on my 66th birthday six months from now.
It is Holy Wednesday and everything is quiet. Gone are those so noisy cars of candidates in the coming election. They’ll probably be back after Easter Sunday. A few more days to go before the much awaited election day.
Would you believe? I harvest two or three guavas everyday and eat them in the garden while I am watering the plants. One good thing about having a guava tree. Our lone papaya is still bearing fruit and every two or three months, I get to harvest one or two. Such is a world of a gardener. There is always something to look forward to. I harvested jackfruit three days ago and cooked it in coconut cream yesterday. Since we try to avoid eating meat during this Semana Santa, it is perfect with fried fish.
Have I told you that Nissa has Nate vaccinated too? He had his second dose last month. Next schoolyear, face to face classes would be implemented. They could not move yet to their new house because they have decided to add two more rooms and a balcony plus cabinets and bedroom dividers which were not included in their original plan. It is better to fix everything first before they transfer. Construction would probably take six months.
Something happened to my cellphone last night. I was trying to charge it but it didn’t and “reboot” appeared. I lost all the photos in my gallery, good thing I have several albums saved on Facebook and the photos I have on my tab. That was more than 700 photos I lost. I need to register again to our Cainta app so I could show it when I go to the mall.
Have a blessed HOLY WEDNESDAY🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

Phones can be troublesome. Julie’s phone has started to turn up the volume control, even when she is nowhere near it.
She also let her hair turn white after many years of having it dyed blonde. People say the white suits her better. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

How far away will the new house be? I understand your reluctance to leave the house after all these months. I too have become used to ordering things on line. I do need to get out an talk to people again before I become a hermit.(Just joking.)

Maybe it is about two hours from here banning traffic. It is in another province. It is better that we play it safe, considering that I have low immunity too.

Yes. That makes sense.

Arlene, your garden sounds so beautiful with all the tropical fruit growing. We are at the beginning of spring and just starting out with the planting. I have a small fig tree I will plant this week. I haven’t done much in the world either. We have been vaccinated and boosted, but I’m still cautious and wear a mask at the store. Be safe and happy Easter to you! 🙋♀️

Only a few fruit trees, the rest are ornamental plants. We still wear masks too but office work is now allowed. HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER. So nice to hear from you again.

It’s feels good to be blogging again. Most of my garden is ornamental as well, but we’ve been able to find good spots for a vegetable garden. I hope your Easter was nice. Did you get to see Nate? 🙋♀️

If the house is being remodeled it would be renovated, but if it’s being newly built it would be constructed or newly built. That’s wonderful for them!
