Holly, as a retired math teacher, I am interested in how you determine what percentage of your work is completed.

Holly, I was imagining you counting every stitch!

Couple questions I forgot to answer, DEVONNE nope, he has 'flu. did a test, he got some antibiotics, but not filled the script yet, he's starting to feel a little  better. 

HOLLY yes for older Australians, and others with health issues they recommend the booster, it's still separate from 'flu one. About the House of Lords etc, no  I don't think so, it's same as  ours of Upper and Lower house, totally different system, I forgot what they call it, it does have a name LOL - we closely follow the british system. 

SANDRA no problem stuff happens, I make mistakes all the time, the Mr is worse, he kept telling Gary last night he hadn't got the email from the club about the merger, and I must have deleted his email, blame me of course, then we got home I reminded him he HAD seen it, he made a comment about the name of the club merging, he sheepishly admitted it LOL ---- enjoy that KFC, or whatever he brings. 

MARYLOU, that would be a lot of counting LOL I figured Holly was able to do it from the app. I only use Apple, soo no point in me trying to figure our progress on my VERY small cross stitch, I was planning on taking it for the long plane trip, but too many colours to bring, so will stick with my 'boring' Lucy Boston joining pieces. they are all the same, so only one colour needed LOL 

DEVONNE how about 1/2 tablet, we used to push Buddy's tablet way down the back of his throat, vet told me to do that, they can't spit it out, it has to be way down, they don't like it, but it only takes a second to do it, then he recovered in 2 seconds LOL Drama queens!!

STRINGS I hope you are doing OK, thinking of you! You sure do cope with a lot.

I got some things online from Amazon, I had been seeing ads for a neck pillow for travel, I ordered it, plus some luggage tags, and flight socks, they are not very 'compression like' but will do I guess, I need to find my good ones. They were only cheap so I wasn't expecting much.

Went to training again today, my lower back is now feeling sore, was not so good yesterday, but feeling a little easier each time I go, those muscles make themselves heard after not using them for a while LOL  I will have to find some way to keep them active while we are away next month.

I want to go see Megan soon, I bought some cute Christmas decorations for us both. I will drop them over later today.

Washing just finished, so will get that out, not that it's going to dry - it's cold here today!

EDITED - Holly It's called the Westminster System we use, and the House of Lords/Commons also uses it - you can google -  it will explain how it works, we differ slightly from them, but much the same.They have alot more formal traditions. When you see them (England)  in parliament you will see Black Rod (currently a woman ) in special robes, looks quite formal, I love to see it, should be lots on youtube.

Trish, there is an app for Apple, I think, called markup or some such. We’re Apple people, the only non Apple thing I have is the Chromebook, and I only use that for Pattern Keeper. People on the PK group recommended a cheap tablet, but I love the big screen. 
Thanks for the info onthe Brits government, I find it interesting. 
The end of another month, yikes! Time has flown since I retired. My brother Mike is 68 and still works full time, but he loves what he does and says he wants to work til he’s 80. He got the better knees in the family, so he can still work. 

Sandra, enjoy your visit with your son! 

Trish, so your winter is our summer, and last winter we were recommended to have a booster, and now your winter is getting them. So we’ll see what happens for our winter. 

Dinner was clean out the fridge. I had a package of Caesar salad, and we added leftover broccoli, strawberries, and bits of cold cuts and cheese. Chicken salad on the side. It was good, and filling. 

Janet, we had rain in our forecast, and it was removed.
