Quiches, Textiles and Tea, sofa risers, doors, keys, cabbages and kings

Cooking for the freezer today, two crustless spinach quiches, using mozzarella cheese.

Battle stations, then wonderful smelling quiches hot from the oven. Once cooled, I'll slice and wrap them for the freezer, to go to when I'm recovering.

Today's PT was a bit rugged, the changing temperature, swinging over 40 degrees over a couple of days, having made Helen Hip a bit unhappy.

I got resistance bands, green blue and black from Theraband, Emil's recommendation for my current fitness level, and tomorrow I'll start with them. Years ago I had bands, which wore out, proving I used them. 

Then Gary rushed in, wanting to check various keys I keep,  because he changed his lock.

All done at warp speed.

Textiles and Tea today presented Peyton Pearson, a brilliantly gifted weaver, hsnd dyer, graphic designer, punch needle artist, already with a name, at 27!

Watch out for him, he's a rising star.

Then another irruption from Gary, who has finally found the right doors for our outdoor storage areas. Which will need to be stored in my living room pending painting and installation.  He needs a second person to lift them -- heavy solid slab, not hollowcore.

Here's a neighbor helping, Gary being on the other side, glimpses only

And here's the current state of play

The door, stored until painted and installed outside, adds a charming rustic touch to this shabby chic interior. 

In among all this is Michael the contractor,  who has finished the risers for the sofa, just before leaving for a week.

Note the higher level of the sofa, unbelievably more comfortable now that the height is right.

Now to fold the laundry I was doing before the day got complicated. My knitting friends also emailed today with offers of help and food if required, so nice.

Considering I'm a single older party living alone, it's amazing how complicated my days can get. Something for everyone today.

Happy day everyone, try not to have everything happening at once. Which is more than your humble blog writer can manage, it seems.

One busier person today was my Senator, Cory Booker, holding the floor of the US  Senate,  giving a marathon civics and history class, with the support of other Democrats, and still going, since yesterday, non-stop. Good trouble and a hero of our time.
