Why didn't they simply give us one when we got the second jab? Too sensible?
I asked the people that were documenting us when we got out second jab, when we could expect a certificate for it. They just said, "Oh well, they're thinking about it at the moment, so just wait and see".
Not good enough. We should have got a paper certificate then.
I've printed ours out, but had to sort out my printer that wasn't working first!

I'm glad I managed to get the dreaded back lawn mowed this morning & then went hunting - successfully, so now only have one Xmas gift to get. I hope...
And of course, sod's law meant that the covid pass arrived in the post today...it would.

Grateful to have accomplished the gift-buying;
grateful to see the first Christmas lily (Lilium regale) open this morning.
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - Lilith7 - 11-12-2021
Very grateful to have finally got those blasted books finished - never, ever again! And to have had a very unexpected parcel from youngest granddaughter, (the only one who doesn't live locally) which I've very carefully put up high so I'm not too tempted to open it early. I hope....
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - Oh_hunnihunni - 11-12-2021
I got a parcel too! Thank you Keter, three days in transit which is excellent at this time of year. NZ Post is working weekends...
I bought me a cushion box so I can stash the chair seat pads near the outdoor chairs instead of having to find indoor space. The trick with these assemble yourself boxes is to hit the carefully positioned pieces hard with the side of a hammer to make them click together. Lady level hard that it. Makes a lovely noise and is very satisfying. Good solid box it is too, now. I can sit on it with no worries and I am not a lightweight.
So, today tmmb, I am grateful for the ability to online shop direct from the source, and save myself retailer mark ups!

I did eventually manage it but alas its not up to the weight of quite so many books & has developed a bit of a bow in the middle. It would, wouldn't it.
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - Oh_hunnihunni - 11-12-2021
You need to stack some books under that bow, preferably the ones you don't need access to constantly, to support the shelf above. Or bricks. I like bricks. Very useful things...

Very useful things...More books - that sounds like the best solution. And what a perfect excuse, too.

I am grateful for little bidding wars over Indoor Plants on TM.
And my green thumb.
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - Lilith7 - 12-12-2021
Thankful I managed to summon up the energy to do a bit of much needed weeding & have a a bash at the hedge while I was at it.
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - Oh_hunnihunni - 12-12-2021
We are growing our inorganics pile, in between rain showers. Big clean outs going on...
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - crafters_corner - 14-12-2021
Today I am thankful for...
This place. TMMB. And all who sail in her. You guys and gals are bloody awesome.
My girl kitty. Unconditional Love
Hot chocolate on a wet day. Simple pleasure. Simple comfort.
Not having to go outside, into this miserable weather.
Strawberry and Peach Candycanes. Yummmmy.
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - Lilith7 - 14-12-2021
I'm thankful that the forecast got it wrong, it didn't piss down this morning & I was able to get the dreaded grocery shopping done.
And had enough energy to get the front lawn done - although the dog & I have had words on that score; generally I shut her in the hall when mowing as the noise sets her off & she barks, but today when I thought I'd left her in the hall, I'd left a door open & smartypants was able to work out how to open the back door from inside.
She didn't bark but she did come & watch the human mowing, & she seemed to take quite a bit of glee from having outwitted the human.
Bloody smartarse dog!
RE: What are you thankful for today?? - crafters_corner - 15-12-2021
Today I am thankful for...
My sister and friend, who is just the best sis.
My sisters leukemia that has gone into remission.
My little princess...my girl kitty.
A good nights sleep.
Not having a bloody smartarse dog..:-))

Its pissing down here - but I'm thankful that I managed to wrap up an entire three xmas gifts before running out of wrapping paper.
The dog & I are at a bit of a loss at present - the cat who ran the house having died last Monday, we're not quite sure how to manage without being told what to do & when. She does do her best though, & woke me up this morning even if it was a bit late.
The cat had lived a long & happy life, organising the entire household to her satisfaction; even the last thing she ate - chicken - was her favourite so if there's a feline after life then I've no doubt its been organised as she wants it. Poor buggers won't know what hit them.

Yep still getting used to it; the dog slipped up & let me sleep in till 8 this morning - she wouldn't be pleased. She had quite firm ideas on what was a suitable hour for the human to be woken, particularly if she knew (& she always did) that there were chicken scraps in the offing.
