A quiet day

Georgia, my cousin in Las Vegas reads my blog.  She tells me I should write more about my life.  I would if it was the least bit interesting.  So Georgia, here's my day.  After a healthy breakfast we went for a 2 km walk (1.243 miles for my US relatives that left Canada before we went metric) around the neighbourhood.  We always enjoy our daily walks.  Wayne came over and returned my egg poacher.  Nancy was going to pick up the turkey bones for soup but her day got busy.  It's fine, I froze them Christmas Day.  Nancy loves soup and every attempt I've made at turkey soup has been a failure, so I'm happy to give her the bones.

It's was a cool cloudy day and we drove to our favorite Greek restaurant in Langley for lunch.  After lunch we went to Superstore where I cashed in my lottery winnings and bought some bargains.  I wish they had Grade A turkeys left, but only utility so I passed.  However, I did see the turkey roaster Louise bought a few years ago.   It was just under $90.00 on the Shopping Channel.
Turkey's cooked in this are very moist.  They don't brown like in the oven but it keeps your oven free for keeping things warm.  Superstore is selling them for a lot less than the Shopping Channel.
We are planning on going to Australia for a 12 day New Zealand/Australia cruise in March of 2021.  I read passenger comments on Air Canada's long range 777's.  The plane gets horrible reviews.  Pat told me Stephen complained all the way to Sydney and all the way home.  He's not as tall as Cec.  Apparently the seats are narrower and they shortened legroom in economy.  Premium Economy is $3800.00 per person!  I'm checking out stopovers as I don't want to go Air Canada. 

There was nothing much on regular TV last night so I started watching The Kominsky Method on Netflix.  I am enjoying it.  Great actors and good writing.  There are 16 episodes so I've got more binge watching to do.  Not an exciting day, but a quiet one.  Our health is good our house is cozy and we have no complaints!

Harry, Meghan and Archie are spending Christmas on Vancouver Island.  I'm glad they came here and even happier they've been hiking and the people who have seen them, kept it from the press!  I'm glad they were not bothered by the press and they've had some good weather while they were here.  I thought they were at Government House, but it appears they rented this property.  It's gated and secluded with gorgeous views.

Janice started me blogging.  Louise always enjoyed reading it.  Check out her blog as it's always interesting!  Janice's blog
