How Was Your Day?

The Diwali celebrations are on tonight which is the festival of light holiday for the Hindu faith and there are a lot of Hindus around here. There are firecrackers going off all over the place and observant Hindus have votive lights on all over the house along with cooking of special dishes.
 
My car went for its MOT today and fortunately passed easily. There were a few advisements that will need to be done, probably within the next 6 months, which will cost a few hundred, but all it needed to pass today was two bulbs. This was a relief; the mileage is low but it's still a ten year old car.
 
I have been so flippin lazy today. I feel like I have been chatting online way too much! But then again looking back over the day, I got quite a bit done this morning, including netting the fruit trees and washing my hair, which always wipes me out. I just do NOT want to go outside!

There is so much to do in the garden and I am completely overwhelmed by it. I need the mowing and hedges done asap but the bugs and flies out there are in ridiculous numbers and I will use so much more energy swatting them away. Its so hard to breath with that many bugs in your face!

I have done walkies and the washing but I havent really moved and wont be going to the pool today. I dont want to lose muscles but also dont have the motivation to do much because I am trying to save energy just in case I CAN get some of the gardening done later today. Ugh.
 
A friend and I had the day off for Veterans Day, so we went to the zoo. A lot of people apparently had the same idea, as it was fairly crowded. But then it was 68F degrees today, crazy for November! Best thing we saw was a tree kangaroo lumbering down trees to about two feet from the ground, then spending several minutes pulling a branch up from the ground to nibble on, instead of just going the last few feet down to it. We also saw the two baby gorillas, which were adorable, though the boys next to us were most entertained by a mom gorilla peeing and pooping. I believe there's a book about that, kids!

Afterwards, we went to IHOP and I got pumpkin spice pancakes, unhealthy but delicious!

I keep saying I want to go to the zoo too before winter hits.
I just have to say I love hearing about what everyone does on a random day!

Today was pretty average I guess for me. I slept in, took the dogs to the park, did some housework, read a bit, listed some items on eBay. Then worked (bartender) in the evening. It was fairly busy because we had a big sold out show at the venue across the street and there was a festival celebrating the 100th year anniversary of Route 66, which runs right through the city I live in. The weather was cool and sunny. Can't complain.
 
Took the dogs for a walk up a big hill overlooking the ocean. They wanted to go closer to the water but dogs were not allowed on the sand. They are really too little to take to the proper dog beach, but I think they would love it. We are all tired out now.

Its supposed to be cooler on the weekend, so hopefully I can catch up on some gardening then.
