Rainy Day Fun!

There hasn't been a whole lot happening today.  Cloudy and rainy (lots of it) and a bit on the chilly side today.  Indoor activities were the order of the day.  Some soup simmering in the crockpot, with good smells emanating, helped to make it feel warmer.  Roger watched movies on my phone, Maggie napped, and I worked on my sweater.  

I started this sweater in October!!
Speed demon I'm not when it comes to knitting. My excuse for taking such a long time is 
stopping to make hats and a gift. 

 

We did get out this morning between downpours for our walk, though, which was good.  Maggs came back with very wet and dirty feet and a wet belly from the tall grass! It has been raining steadily since around noon and we are getting some pretty good sized ponds in our space!  Unfortunately, I can't upload any pictures of them tonight for you.  😁

Today the internet has been very iffy and frustrating - even more than usual.  Probably everyone staying at home streaming movies or the like.  The system they have set up, like in motels and other public places, limits the bandwidth so it is often slow when there's lots of traffic.  It's not been bad here until the last few days.  (We've also noticed a lot of previously empty sites are now occupied. Not many left to fill to make it a full house. The snowbirds are flocking to Southern California!)

Roger will start watching a movie on his laptop and when his bandwidth gets to the point that the buffering is at a creeping speed, he changes devices.  He then goes to his Kindle and watches until he hits his limit and then he goes to his phone and then to mine if he needs it to finish what he's watching.  Today, though, he couldn't get on Netflix via the internet at all because the  WIFI was down or extremely intermittent.   He doesn't have enough data on his phone to use his 4G, so he ended up watching his movie on my little iPhone w/3G but with unlimited data!  Do you think maybe, just maybe, he's part of the problem?????  

Maggie was hoping he was
watching "Lassie."

I'm working on the phone with one-finger typing so if there are typos that's my excuse!  Back to the knitting. Soup was good!!
