It's Autumn, right? Well, I have an important question. WHERE are the persimmons? I mean, where!

I put up my winter curtains. The living room is certainly darker. Cozy? Well, certainly darker.

October!

The Discover card bother went as I assumed it would. There were phone callS. It would help if I weren’t pretty much of an idiot. I can’t think on the phone. But they have their nine dollars and all is well.

Happily, Taskmaster is back. I’m not as fond of these players as of the last bunch but I’m warming up to them.

I’ve cut off all my streaming sites; I’ll wait until Acorn or Britbox have something I want to see. It’ll probably be a cozy mystery. Roku has their own channel and Midsomer Murders plays continually. I pop in, watch a scene or two and usually drop out at the commercial. I already know who ALL the murderers are.

I’ve washed and put away the seersucker pedal pushers. From now on it’s black jeans. Summer is over. I may even get out the crocheting project soon.

A good while ago I traveled to Oregon from CA for the Labor Day weekend. I took some kayak lessons. It seemed to me that the weather changed over the four days. Autumn came. Living here now I find that to be true. It’s overcast most days, there are sprinkles of rain with more coming up. Just like that, it’s Fall. The leaves are turning and soon we’ll be ankle deep in crinkley crunchy dry stuff.

I went to Trader Joe’s this week. I didn’t get all pumpkined out, though there’s that opportunity. Pumpkin is the only squash I’ll eat but only if there’s lots of sugar and cinnamon added. I did buy some maple almonds and they were good. I have to remind myself that TJ runs must be done first thing in the morning, else I feel the press of TOO MANY PEOPLE. Why must they stare at all the cheeses for such a lengthy time? Don’t they know the kind of cheese they like? Cheddar? Blue? Something to shred for pasta? Eventually I just cut and run.

I’m winding down the garden. It’s not been a great success. The zinnias were great though. They’re on the roster for repeat. I’m saving money to have somebody really help me next year. There are some godawful, ugly bushes out there.

I also attended the monthly meeting at the Mobile Park clubhouse for the first time. I’m not good with strangers but a nice man did engage me in conversation. I learned that contrary to what I thought, we don’t have a swimming pool. Upkeep was too expensive and they turned it into a patio that gets more use. I did get the card that opens the back gate, which I was hoping to score. If I go again I will try to get info on good garden people.

There was a sudden storm here. Lightening and THUNDER. One of the cats freaked out, found a cabinet to hide in. Didn’t finish breakfast. There was tropical like rain. Power was out for about 20 minutes, which is why I like a gas range. I was without coffee.

The heat is back now but it should be winding down in the days ahead to a more agreeable, humane point.

I got my hair cut because the next few days are going to be scorching and I don’t need a heavy rug on my head.

I’m watching A Spy Among Friends on Britbox. I generally dislike spy stories unless they’re about Kim Philby’s coterie.They fascinate me. Damian Lewis (red hair browned down), Guy Pearce and that woman from Ludwig. Good watching.

When I’m in the backyard, watering and such like, I like to play music and I’ve ordered ear buds because I was using things on wires and my goodness, they were annoying what with getting tangled in the hat I wear and the falling out of my ears. I’m already testy being in the hot sun. Let’s hope this is better.

The new cat tower is being used. There is contention and Snow is a bit of a bully. He chases Festis every time she tries to use it. Last night there was an argument and they both fell off as they tried to commit murder on each other.

I moved the older tower in alongside the new one. It’s rather rickety but it provides a view of the back yard where everything is happening. I’m hoping the cats can peacefully coexist if each has a seat at the window.

I play a computer game called “June’s Journey” and about a week ago I started getting a message that there was a ‘security threat’ and it wouldn’t open. Inquieres told me that I wasn’t the only one. It was a new update they did and their website said that they didn’t support Chrome. Well, you have for the last 6/7 years. I don’t know anything about IT but cutting your customer base seems that you’re going in the wrong direction. I miss my game. Once in a survey I did for them I asked if they got their servers at a garage sale. Things have always been chancy with them.

I finished “Agents of Shield”. Whedon is a jerk but he and his family (blood and artistic) turn out good series. I’m going to miss the gang. Coulson is immortal, as it should be.

There is going to be a brief interlude before starting my next set of dvds as I want to rewatch Ghosts (UK) for writing purposes.

I’m getting bored of summer. And there’s still August to get through.

The other night I stayed up until dawn watching Agents of Shield season 4. It had alternative reality and they know my sweet spot. I couldn’t stop. But I noticed something about my tv. It was so dark that I couldn’t even see who was hitting who.

I moved my smaller tv in from the living room. I don’t watch in there because the electronics are on the floor until I spring for a table. So I hooked it up and yes, my other tv is dying of creeping dark. Testing it involved sorting out about 5 remotes. And then finding the one I needed on the kitchen counter where I randomly put it down as I was to and froing.

I’m debating buying a new, cheap Roku tv.
