Sunday was one of those laid back days, where despite the sun shining most of the day, we had snow showers and freezing cold temperatures mixed in. So I decided it was a good day to watch a movie in the afternoon and this one popped up when I was scrolling through Netflix:

What that's it?
I hope not!!
(First of the daffodils flowering)Friday was a glorious day. I spent most of the morning in the basement, stripping down the basement windows and washing everything. Not sure when washing three windows became a tiring job, but it was!! I was pooped afterwards. However I did go outside and did some tidying up on the front porch and in the garden as it's yard waste week, and honestly it was so nice outside, I just wanted to feel a bit of sunshine on my face.
Fast forward to Saturday and it poured down, I mean really poured down. Perfect weather for ducks but that's about it! I hope that the one day of nice weather isn't it, before the summer heat hits.......just saying!! Spring is a bit of a one day it's here, and then the next day it's gone situation!!
Do you clean windows at your home? Or do you get a service in to do them? I clean ours though not every other week, like I was taught to do while living in the UK.

All done........
The painting that is in the basement. It took less than a gallon for the walls, as I only had to do one coat. So I have three gallons of paint left. I will use some on the spare bedroom downstairs and a walk in closet. I plan on decorating those in July/August when it's too hot outside in the garden.
I am pleased with the results. So now I am going to put it all back together. I will say it has tired me out. It was a lot of work, but I am glad to have it all done before the gardening season starts.

I honestly don't know what to think anymore................
Not content in starting a war with Iran, now a certain person has done a post criticizing the Pope and portraying himself as Jesus ?????????
Are people around him not advising him on all these matters? Or is he just a wild card doing what he wants, when he wants?
He is giving me something not right in his head vibes? I mean who sets out to cause chaos in the world; with no regard for others?
I just don't know what to think? I for one am fed up of it all.............

Bemused, might be the word.......
along with amused.........
We called in at gas/petrol station on Sunday night on our way home, as the price of gas was $1.62 a litre, which is a good price...that in itself is a crazy statement saying that is a good price.
Anyhoo, I got out to fill the car, and the first thing I noticed was that I had to pay before we pumped the gas. This is not a gas station we use very often. So I grabbed my purse out of the car, and went back to the pump.
This time it asked for my CAA membership; okay so searched in my purse and got that out and swiped it.
It then asked for my Air Miles membership; once again searched in my purse and got that out and swiped that one as well.
By this time I am thinking, I should have brought my chair and coffee.
Next it asks how much gas (money wise) would I like to put in. Normally I just fill to the top, so spent a few moments trying to figure that out and pressed the button.
Then it asked to swipe my credit card, so did that. It then asked for pin # and it finally spit out my credit card. It then asked what grade of gas I wanted....cheapest obviously...LOL
Then it was time to put the gas in my car.........it asked if I wanted a receipt, so got that. Did discover that we got the gas for 3 cents cheaper per litre, due to the CAA membership; this was a Shell Gas station, so that was good.
I was ready for a nap by the time I had done all that 😏
So I was out Monday morning and the price of gas where I was at was $1.73 a litre......price gouging at it's finest!!!
