Saturday stuff

Today we went over to Westfield Mall, Di got a pedicure and we picked up a few bits and pieces.

We came home and putzed about, then Lary and our neighbour Doug worked on getting the cable installed for the internet. It comes in through the side of the house, they put a splitter on our cable into the unit, and the computer is in the living room, but the cable won't hook up it seems, even though we installed the disc, and followed the instructions.

Doug and Evelyn came over for a drink before dinner, then we did emailing, and laundry, too. Doug works in computers, so he is very helpful. And their unit is pretty nearly identical to ours, but updated already. We enjoy seeing the differences between the units here.

Di practiced some Christmas carols up at the laundry room, good acoustics. There was a dinner going on in the clubhouse, and dancing after dinner.

We have ordered a Pick up the world mini mic which sits right on your flute and feeds into an amplifier, as yet not ordered, so you can torture the neighbours even more!!!!!

It has been quite overcast, grey and rainy, so good to do inside the house type of chores, and think about Christmas etc. When it rains the canopy over the patio doesn't exactly keep out the rain, so we have to move things in from the edges of the patio so they don't get soaked.

Tomorrow Sunday we'll go to College of the Desert street market, and then we'll go out for my birthday dinner to an Italian restaurant, Trilusa, over in Cathedral City, with Wendy and Dave.

Exciting to think of the house here with new blinds, paint and microwave. Lots of nice changes to update it. Other neighbours invited us in to their unit to see what they had done to update their place, very interesting to see how the trailers vary/ and or are similar.

Today our Happy Hour guests showed us a set of lights I didn't know we had, over the dining room/kitchen sort of. Seems they are rope lights I think, they are right up near the ceiling. And they explained what a certain plug and switch do in the living room, we had no idea.

We have Xmas lights on the stair hand railing leading up into the house, and our 3 mini trees outside are up once again as the wind has died down, hopefully for a while. I had laid them down in the high winds so they wouldn't get the lights broken when they fell over.

Fun to see Christmas throughout the park, and we want to go over to Catalina Spa and check out their Xmas lights one night. The malls don't seem to have huge ostentatious displays of lights or decorations this year, but some stores are very prettily decorated, and the sales and reductions are to die for.

That's the latest, don't forget to write, and Merry Christmas to you blog followers.
