Isn't that amazing?! Mysterious ways, indeed......So happy you got to talk with your Dad!

Will he be told to make changes in his diet?

I have no idea for now...
Edit: I ask him and no diet .It was really the smoking his problem.

Dad called my about 40 minutes ago and talked to me like 2 minutes because he was transfered.
He announce me that he had 5 BYPASS...wow...I am not believe it...he is truly a hero.
After I said it to my 2 aunts.He will recall me later.Glad I did not go out to get some grocery!!!

@cath007 Such fantastic news about your Dad's operation!! Wow eh? Five arteries replaced successfully! That is some intense surgery I'll bet. Now you can breathe deeply and truly relax a bit as the worst part of this is over for him.
Hope the recovery is just as good!

Hugs to you, I know how worrying this can be.

Happy 🐈 urday, everyone!

Husband has torturous pain in his back today, so things have been slow. I do admire him for being able to sleep easily and a lot when he isn't well.

I get awoken by varied owies, it seems.
Nurse called to say she had dropped off some bandages I needed. There is a trouble spot on my right shin. Now it's just covered with gauze, but it's better to use a bandage because the compression stocking goes on better over it.

Husband went mid-aft to pick up the superstore order - at least that was I can make some choices! Never did a weekend one, but it's def worth the five bucks to have someone else do the shopping, the endless walking. Husband refuses to shop at RCSS in person... Not my fave either.

Take care and be safe, y'all!

Good morning, @cath007 , sleepy-heads!

A bright, sunny day, but once again, so windy!

I'm so excited to check my new project and pour the top coat onto it today!

But first, coffee!

where iz everybody?
Oh yeah, clocks messed up our internal clocks.
Well....it is a pretty semi-productive day here so far. A rather large roast beef got cooked up earlier ( medium rare this time ) ....I have often overcooked them thinking " oh it's still too red " but I ignored the voices this time.
As a result there is enough to slice off more than enough outer pieces for DH, leaving the pinker/redder parts for DS and moi!

Then because we have no real spuds left I mixed up a double batch of Yorkshire batter. It's chilling atm, will make those up closer to the dinner hour so they will be fresh and hot out of the oven. I should really post this in the dinner thread...oops ta ta !

good ( nearly afternoon ) all!
I was up, but busy, busy doing nada!
We had a fun Sunday ( which is saying plenty considering the crash and burn from the Leafs and Raptors games. We can only hope the Winnipeg Jets lose all of their games this week while the Leafs have their full week off. ( they are nipping at our heels in points )

Hope the week forward shows more promise of vaccinations for all. Have a great week everyone.
I baked these yesterday and had so much fun doing it.
