My sister and her husband came for black bean soup and fajitas. I was disappointed with my tortillas. The were passable, but not nearly as nice as my daughter-in-law's are. I will try again.
Two games of scrabble. I won the first by the skin of my teeth. She trounced me on the second game.
I watched Hamnet today. What a remarkable film! So very well done. Cried my head off.
I saw Phantom, stray cat. I also saw him attack Possum. We can't have that.
My smart watch uses an app. It did not adjust the time one hour ahead for daylight savings time. The watch said I needed to sync it to my phone, but my phone would not allow me to access the account without providing a credit card. It is a free app! I was assured that the card would not be charged...that this was for 'verification' only.
I clicked out of it. They had no need for that information. My watch reset itself to the proper time.
Country Joe died today. He was 84.
Listening to Country Joe and crying for the Viet Nam Vets and the Epstein Optic Operation Vets.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to all those idealistic hippies? We need them!
DeleteI didn't know that was a true story. I don't think I could take a sad story right now. We are suddenly losing so many family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is a fictionalized historical piece. Very little is known about Anne Hathaway. It is believed that William Shakespeare did not love his wife. It is interesting that when he left London, he went to her. It is interesting that she chose to be buried next to him, so she appears to have loved him. The writer of this story remained the story from the angle of. 'Whatcif they did love each other?Truly and deeply?
DeleteHamnet was filmed in Weobley, not that far from me (20 miles or so). The village is beautiful and truly is all half-timbered buildings. I shall get to see it when it's free (or much cheaper!) on tv.
ReplyDeleteThat is where I watched it, Jenny. It was free on television. I streamed it through Peacock
DeleteI am very wary of apps and would never give my credit card details. You were wise to escape from that trap!
ReplyDeleteI have had the watch for 3 years. It has never asked for CC info before.
DeleteMy feed is a little crazy. Nothing from you for a few days, then three posts at once! Bear with me, I'll catch up. I agree about not giving credit card info. No way of knowing when they'll suddenly put a charge on it!
ReplyDeleteI was laid low with a bug. Then I eas away for 5 days.
DeleteYes, the watch app is nuts. There’s always some plot going on.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the watch reset itself after I backed out of the app was very weird.
DeleteSounds like your watch app was trying to scam you. Glad you didn't fall for it. It's hard to know what is real on the Internet these days.
ReplyDeleteHow does a CC card 'verify' an account?
DeleteSmart watches are still an enigma to me. I never did like wearing watches and I doubt I'll ever wear another, smart or dumb.
ReplyDeleteI use mine as a pedometer and to remind me to drink water. That is all the 'smart' my 'dumb' self needs!
DeleteI had to laugh at that meme. As for watches, I don't wear one, unless I'm working or traveling. I'm not a fan of electronics, although my husband would laugh at that because I love instragram.
ReplyDeleteI do not want to down load one more time consuming media app.vi have resisted so far.
DeleteRIP Country Joe, one of the voices of the sixties, part of the fabric of that era.
ReplyDeleteHe was.
DeleteI liked but didn't love the book "Hamnet." The ending was incredible though. I've heard the film is excellent and well-acted. I haven't been wearing an AppleWatch for long. It can do a lot but I still miss the simplicity of my FitBit.
ReplyDeleteWrong sign in--not enough coffee this morning!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Sunday, I was bustling around and realized I had never had my morning cup! That has never happened!
DeleteI'd not heard of Country Joe but that's quite the appropriate song for these days.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Phantom.
Yes. As Ecclesiastes tells us, there is nothing new under the sun!
DeleteVery sad that you lost an hour of your life when I will soon get an extra hour.
ReplyDeleteGive it back Andrew. I need it!
DeleteCountry Joe!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! :)
Where I live, we don't deal in time economics. I remember when it was trialled a few times, and each time its a resounding "no" - the yes people say "oh but then we are a different time than others" but meh, we are an international world, its gonna happen. Best word in the scrabble comp please?
