the sun has been very strong and i sometimes close the curtains to keep the room cool. it was chillier today and i wore a sweater out to an accupuncture appointment. we've been having facade work done on our apartment complex. they're drilling around the windows: replacing bricks and waterproofing. it'll be nice when it's finished. i stopped by kendall's on the way back from the appointment today to pick up her air purifier. it helps eliminate the odor from the waterproofing. they haven't done outside our windows yet . . i'm sure there will be dust. hopefully, the filter will help.
some cute pumpkins i passed today on my way home from kendall's.
greg had a fever the other day, but is doing better now. he decided to work from home as he has a bad cough. we moved his desk into the living room to be away from the drilling and waterproofing, even though it's not directly outside our window (it is right next door on either side).
Ah, poor Greg! Flora and I had a cold and cough. Many students here are sick. It seems to be ongoing. I bet it will get dusty when they reach your windows! Your curtains are very pretty. I have never noticed them before. And carves pumpkins! I have seen pumpkins for sale, but nobody has carved them so far. They were already for sale a month ago! I wonder if there will be any good ones left for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a pumpkin for carving yet . . I should probably get one from the green market on Wednesday. Where do you get yours?
DeleteI wonder if Greg has the same thing you and Flora had. His throat got very sore and it hurt for him to cough. It's better today, but it was uncomfortable.
DeleteWe used to get it in the next village for years and years, but the people there moved away. Now the girls normally get it from a stand on the way to ballet. There are several options.
DeleteAh, it sounds similar! It is not Covid, just a nasty cold. The cough has been a lingering for us and Charlotte.
Oh, that's a nice place to get your pumpkin :)
DeleteYes, the cough is difficult to get rid of!
Veronika found some good ones when she drove to ballet. Has the cough left you?
DeleteI still am coughing a little . . it'll just come on out of the blue, but. nothing distressing. Just a few coughs here and there! Chanda, however, now has a bad cough and is not feeling well. She's taking it easy and drinking lots of echinacea and throat coat tea from Traditional Medicinals. It seems like a bad cold. I hope Charlotte is feeling a bit stronger.
DeletePoor Chanda! How did her presentation go? Peter and Veronika think that their cold changed their voices. They cannot seem to get all their high and low notes right when cantoring in church. I am glad you are feeling better. I think Charlotte is feeling stronger, but it is always hard to say when you don't really see her.
DeleteGood to hear that Charlotte may be improving . . yes, it is hard to know when we're not with them. I hope Peter and Veronika get their proper voices back soon! Chanda's presentation went well!
Delete:). Chanda must have been pleased.
DeleteShe was :)
