Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day you had sushi for lunch! Yum! 🍣😋 You really looked like you were enjoying it.
For us the wind blew and as it did, I watched the branches of the tree next to the cottage clobbering the electric wires. That tree is in the council land between our house and the one next door. It’s a 3m lane between our houses that belong to the Council, so the trees are their responsibility. I went online to find out how to report it and found the website immediately. I simply followed instructions. Then I took myself down to the road and took a few photos. We’ve had so much rain, the trees and shrubs have shot up.
I submitted the problem at about 12.15pm. I immediately got an SMS to say it had been logged. Then I got an SMS to say it had been set to progress and at around 3.30pm the electricity department arrived to do an inspection. All so good so far. Now we’ll wait to see how long they actually take to come and cut the tree back. But so far the City is Working for Me! Actually this is the city’s old logo, but we still remember it. I think the one below (Making progress possible. Together) is the new one that’s all over their website.
Anyway, we’ll see how long it takes for the trees to actually be trimmed.
I saw this online yesterday and thought it was a good reminder.
Good tips for sure.
Meanwhile, David has had quite a busy day. He has felt pretty tired, but this morning before he went off to teach, I gave him a Vitamin B slow release tablet and that seemed to help. One of the things he has done during this slow inactive season is create a Chess channel on YouTube. It’s growing very slowly, but he won’t tell me its name so I can’t go subscribe. He’s also been streaming live chess. Because he’s been upstairs, he has been doing less stairs. He also hasn’t gone out at all, so the downside of the resting upstairs is he has been housebound. He’ll move down to the Little Lookout again this week.
I worked almost 8 hours.
Last verse of Psalm 119:176
I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
