I’ve joined another photo group, where a challenge word is given on Fridays and we have a week to take photos that represent our interpretations of the word. So far I’m not very good at it – some people consistently get a few pics every week, but it’s fun and different. If you’d like to join the Flickr group the link is Challenge Friday – the Facebook page is called the same.

21Apr20 Sitting in my car,
keeping an appointment to have a Corvid19 test. The parking lot was the waiting room, techs came out in full suited PPE to get details, hand out a mask and take you into one the temporary rooms set up for it. The testing included the current flu’s as well as coronavirus. A phone call the next day confirmed I didn’t have any of the above. #cf20 #lockdown #2020pad #facemask #testing #coronavirus #latergram
08Apr20 Never in a million years
would I have thought I’d find Graham Crackers at an ethnic grocery store! These are slightly smaller than the ones found in America but lovely none the less. They brought me a bright spot of hope that I’ll have a good supply of them from now on. Love these! #cf20 #2020pad #hope #grahamcrackers #latergram

The moon rise was incredible tonight and so bright. Bringing hope for a good night’s sleep. #cf20 #hope #moonrise #latergram

and mow my front and back lawns and they took care of the meter high dead weeds for me too. They did such a good job I'm having them back to prune my trees back - they sure need it! #cf20 #green

30April20 Challenge Friday photo showing cutlery.
The three items on the left is from a favourite set I bought at Costco and really kick myself that I didn’t buy 2 sets. The spoon on the far right is from a set Mum had when I moved in. It’s practical as the end is perfect for popping jar lids easily. The second from the left is one of a few I picked up at an Op Shop. #cf20 #cutlery

Cone shaped spray bottles. I filled these with my disinfectant cleaner today. #cf20 #cone #spraybottles #disinfectant #coronavid19

Funnels are kind of cone shaped, right? #cf20 #cone #kitchenutensils

When you think you’ve found the perforation but haven’t. Ugh! #cf20 #perforation #melatonin
27Mar20 Challenge Friday photo.
My doctor keeps these prescription stubs to use for scrap paper. Anytime I run low on them she hands me a big pile of them. If I tear at the perforation I end up with two sheets, and of course I use the front and back of each. #cf20 #perforations #reuse #reduce #recycle
23Mar20 Challenge Friday photo.
There are many #perforations in my weekly med packs. #cf20 #perforation #websterpack #t2d #t2diabetes #meds
Cute little guy
25Feb20 While shopping at Aldi I found this cute guy and took a photo because I thought he was cute. It’s only him. He was there all on his own. There’s more to this story but … later. And, for Challenge Friday, he just happens to have a lot of seams!
Fibre
19Mar20 Another Challenge Friday photo. This is my favourite pasta lately - @vettapasta Veg Twists. It only takes 9 minutes to cook (less in the microwave), tastes great and best of all it doesn’t make my glucose go sky high.
Fibre
This week’s Challenge Friday word was Fibre. I picked this up and some other needed items at the chemist today.
Openings
03Mar20 My new favourite way to enjoy coffee. I was trying to reduce the amount of milk I use because it raises my glucose even though it’s not supposed to. So a splash of milk and bigger splash of almond milk. I wasn’t prepared to LOVE how it tastes! But I do! YUM! Anyway, this pic is for Challenge Friday and the theme is ‘opening’. I love the style of openings the long life packages have these days. Also, my coffee is from @urbanbrewpods are delivered to me and also make my coffee extra special.
Openings
02Mar20 This week’s them for Challenge Friday is ‘openings’. My med box has 7 of them! #cf20 #openings #medbox

Wine can sometimes help provide a filter on how one views the world. #cf20 #filter #2020pad #wine
07Feb20 Challenge Friday Photo.
This week’s word was #potato I found this pair together. And no, I didn’t buy them. I have never seen jarred potatoes before. Interesting concept. And the chips… ugh, what a horrid concept for potato chips! #cf20 #lambandmintchips #cannedpotatos #thingsthatmakeyougohmm
09Feb20 Challenge Friday Photo.
I had beef vegetable soup I pulled out of the freezer for dinner and found it had one lone potato amongst all the other veggies. I put the soup over a wild rice blend so it was sort of a combination soup and stew. #cf20 #cookingforone #cooking #potato #beefandvegsoup
10Feb20 I’ve been weeding…
When I came home from my USA holiday the weeds were choking this area and several other corners of the yard. I had someone from a lawn mowing agency come mow and he sprayed the weeds but when he returned a few weeks later, ONLY mowed the grass. So, first I’m not having that agency back again. Second, it may take awhile but I can do this, and once done I’ll probably have to start all over again. But it’ll look better and that will make me FEEL better about it. That said, if anyone local wants to lend a hand, I would really appreciate it with beer, wine, a meal… #2020pad #didsomegardening #weeding #tryingtobeagrownup #cf20 #clutter
29Jan20 Challenge Friday photo
This is a square storage box. It’s the perfect size for an actual single serve of cereal (not the single serve ANYONE would prefer, but .. there you go. #cf20 #square
28Jan20 I had a really busy day
that had extra stuff to deal with land in my lap so instead of the dinner I’d planned on, I had a frozen pizza instead. Remarkably, my glucose didn't object to it, and it was pretty tasty too. I added sliced mushrooms to it because that’s my favourite type of pizza - pepperoni and mushrooms. Also, the Challenge Friday word this week is square. Pizza is round but comes in a square box. #2020pad #cf20 #square #food #pizza
21Jan20 A Challenge Friday Photo
This week’s theme is PATTERN. This was an accidental pic. I keep hitting the BIG camera shutter circle at the bottom of my screen because my brain confuses it with the phone’s home button. Ugh! Fortunately I remembered this week’s word so I didn’t delete the pic on the spot. #cf20 #pattern #accidentalphoto
24Jan20 Challenge Friday Photo.
You want a pattern? Which one, the floor, the cat bed, the pillows, the hand made blankets? Or maybe my jumper (sweater) precariously on the arm of the chair. Lots to choose from! If you see one I didn’t mention, feel free to comment and let me know. #cf20 #pattern #2020pad #catsofinstagram #office #patterns #patternseverywhere
23Jan20 Challenge Friday photo.
I was given a desk organiser set for Christmas that has a great gold and white pattern on it. It went on my desk today, finally! #cf20 #pattern #2020pad #deskorganiser
08Jan20 What’s better than one bridge Two!
This week’s Challenge Friday word is ‘bridge’. The piece that goes over the nose is known as the bridge. The purple pair in front are my everyday glasses and the smaller pair are my computer glasses. “I just love switching between the two pair,” said no one, ever. #cf20 #bridge #2020pad #glasses #computerglasses #progressiveglasses #multifocallenses

01Jan20 Starting the year with a Challenge Friday photo for the last week of the year. This is a replica of a 1940’s style cookie jar. My Mom was given one as a wedding gift and my sister has it. When she found the replica she got one for me. This week’s word was #nostalgia #cf19 #replica #1940s #cookiejar #littleredridinghood
31Dec18 So new it practically glistens in the sunshine. #2018pad #homegymlife #cf18 #glisten #notanewyearsresolution
