Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 9:49 am EDT and 29'C (84'F). It's sunny and humid again.
Yesterday, we picked some rutabagas from the garden and DD spent the afternoon getting them ready for the freezer. Mum and I went swimming at sister's house. DD didn't want to go.
New covid cases above 100 again at 108. The 20-39 group accounts for half of this number again, and the majority of cases are Toronto, Ottawa and the region just to the west of Toronto.
Today is laundry day for me. I plan to knit while I wait for the machines.

I'm an early bird today ❣️
Good morning all.. we went to bed very early last night so now I'm up taking my meds, don't worry my sleepy butt is gonna take another few hours while I can 😁
I've nearly finished round two on the pouff or loufa I still can't remember how to spell it! From now on it's gonna just be a puff ball 🤣 it's kind of neat for how simple the pattern is. I might just make a bunch of these.

That mechanical genius man of mine got Jen's transmission fixed so I have my car back now. Woot woot😍
Don't you just love a man who's good with his hands 🤣🤣

Okay my loves I think my pills made it to my belly so I'm off back to me bed since it's only 630am here.
Love and hugs all XOXO 😘💜

I personally think all politicians are idiots. I also believe you have to be a megalomaniac to even want to be President.. and probably a narcissist too.
We are in for big trouble in this country either way. One has serious social issues and no people skills, and the other is a decoy to get someone we've never even heard of in office.

The point is I guess.. change is scary, but we all get through it somehow. We have to be here for each other, and remember to tell each other how much they are loved and how important they we all are to each other.
Regardless of what is going on in the world.

I've got some gossip today.....when I was watching tv in my bed last night I thought the wind was very noisy, and it wasn't until someone phoned me that I knew what was happening. We had , the air ambulance, police helicopter, and squad cars making such a racket......they had been a murder in the next village. Just down the bank to me. A 58yr old male was shot, as a drive by shooting. Of course all the roads were blocked. The helocopter was above our houses. Seemingly they have arrested 2 young me 30ish and detained them and 2 other men and a woman is helping with their enquiries.....I could have been murdered in my bed....anyway, it's a murder enquirer. So someone's not going to be home at Christmas time and spending time in jail. Now didn't I say that was newsy?

Mag came up for a cup of tea today, and I've had a watts app video with Josephine this afternoon.

I must must must apologise to Pam.... I touched the wrong button on watts app and I ended up phoning her by mistake, and I couldn't stop it ringing, I was right clumsy trying to stop it....if I woke you I'm sorry Pam. I don't know how to stop this thing when it starts. Haha... You'd have been fast asleep.

Well that's about it for today. I don't know about tomorrow. I'm wanting to see family before S and S go away for a few days because when they get back, S is going diving for a week. And there's no way I want to be around when's he is supposed to,be packing, because he's a headache, never knows where anything is and don't we all know it😡

Hope you all a have a good weekend. Love yawl xx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:40 am EDT and 16'C (61'F), going up to 36'C (97'F) this afternoon with pop up thunderstorms. The air con is back on.
The Toronto school board has come up with a plan that the province accepted. The kids will be going to school on starting September 8 to 23. Grades 1 to 3 will have 20 - 25 children, grades 4-8 will have up to 37 children, and grades 9-12 will be going to school every other day with online learning every other day. Half the upper grades will be in the school and that half will alternate every other day. 30 additional spaces will be leased from the city. So some of the children may be going to libraries for their school room. And the class will be taught by one teacher all day. So teachers will not be able to be specialists anymore. And 300 additional teachers will be hired and more than 60 janitors. They will not be able to keep the kids 2 metres apart. In this area, no changes have been made. Children will be going back to their assigned schools like before the pandemic. We have one school in Port Hope that was built too small so another school could be built closer to Toronto. This school has been surrounded by portables since it was built because its completion coincided with the building of a new subdivision (which the local board knew about). There were public meetings about this where people were allowed to rant, but nothing was changed.
In our covid numbers the province is reporting 76 new cases, but they admit that 11 health units were not able to report their cases because of a communication line failure. I suspect that number is actually higher. Closer to home, the husband of my yarn store owner is sick and they suspect covid. The yarn store owner closed the store until they get the results. These two went camping near Niagara Falls about 2 weeks ago, so that is the probable cause at this point. Lucky for me, I haven't been to Knit Night for 2 weeks and I haven't been to the store. Hopefully, it turns out to be something else, but these days you have to assume it is the covid first. One of my DD's friends thought he had covid and was tested, but it turned out he had samonella from those infected onions that are being distributed.
I've decided to try to change my Amaryllis scarf into something else. Maybe I'm completely bonkers, but I held it up against my front and thought it might make something else. I'm going to finish the current section, then work on the end of the scarf so I have 2 parts that are the same. I'll see if my idea works when I have the two parts. At the worst, I'll just end up grafting the two parts together and make the scarf.
