Wow! 4 hours and November is gone... Where did it go?
I actually totalled up my veggie costs for my evening salads, 2 cabbages, 10 cucumber, tomato, apple, granadilla, plus oil, vinegar, guanabana, salt & pepper. I bought enough for 10 meals and the cost was about $11 USD. Not too shabby..! And I never get tired of it! I actually look forward to eating it and it is disgustingly healthy. I wonder what it would cost in Canada for those ingredients???
This is also the 3rd anniversary of my bike accident from which I will probably never fully recover. Nothing is exactly the way it was before and my nervous system is still a conundrum, but we are still on this side of the grass and, for that, we are thankful.
During poop patrol this morning I saw that only one feeder still had nectar and 3 hummers were vying for supremacy there. I took some photos then with the regular lens but they were crap, I didn't keep them. Then I worked to refill all 4 feeders.
Then we went to the bank branch here to get 1,500,000 pesos (or $426 USD or $566 CAD) to pass on to niece Ana for the purchase of the classic Honda mini-scooter. After some negotiation with Cristina we have come to an understanding. She is always to have her phone with her and let me know where she is, for security reasons. It is not really dangerous here, but if she is alone at night at the Animal Park I always worry about her safety.
Then we picked up 2 newly abandoned puppies at the Animal Park and took them to Adiela's for washing, flea removal and photos for adoption use. They stayed there apparently because they are so cute they may be adopted out already. That is alway heartwarming.
I stopped at Berthold's German Restaurant Vollkorn (meaning "full-grain") for a couple of his sausage in tomato sauce dinners.
I tried again, with the regular lens standing close, to get more shots of Tom Thumb but am not too happy with these either. I am really happy with the rose pictures though. It is amazing that all those different-coloured roses are on the same bush!
Then I had a nap surrounded by 6 dogs. Someone is shooting off firecrackers nearby and some of the dogs don't like that, especially Negrita and Killer. Negrita huddles really close after a loud noise. It was so comforting to be with the loyal dogs in the quiet. I love my doggies.
I watched a replay of the Formula One qualifying this evening for the last race of the season from Abu Dhabi. My guy LeClerc will be starting 3rd, after Hamilton and Verstappen. The race is on at 8am but is only on pay-per-view. We will go to watch it at 7pm at David's and try not to know the result beforehand.....
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
