75 at lots of petrol stations here so probably 71 or so at Costco. I'd go everywhere in the Jag, if I was going anywhere.

Ha! The liquid soap I put by the shower room sink months and months ago for himself to easily use when he first gets in from work has never really been touched. I assumed he was ignoring the bottle as too poncy , preferring to use the hard work soap instead. I found out two days ago that he did think it was poncy but he thought it was moisturising cream so on the odd occasion he felt the need he's been wiping his hands & thinking it wasn't much cop as it wouldn't rub in properly . :lol:

There are gas stations at 1.02 per liter in Vancouver, I have never seen gas prices this low, apparently when it hit 1.09 yesterday at some stations that was a 17 year low. Some stations are still at 1.14 but prices are dropping.

Damning phrases from one’s child...me on the phone with my son...”I have to go David I’m baking”. Him...”but Maman you’ve never baked” :unsure: I never have really either...I am really good at other things I hope...

I swapped over winter tyres to summer tyres yesterday on our family car.

Oil change in my Daughters new (used) car.

Tomorrow I will clean my commuter car and swap over tyres.

God I'm bored. House has never looked so clean and tidy.

We are finding we are moving things from one side of the apartment to the other, and then back a couple days later. Very little to do these days. Going bonkers...ha ha

I just wish it was the middle of Summer and not the end of Winter. I still have 1' of snow in my back garden. I suppose I could pick up 3 months worth of frozen dog turd.

People like this need to be banned from stores.

Starting to worry by the time Wed comes it will be difficult to get the dogs usual food as the usual stores we buy her food from are closed or only open for online pick ups during a 1-2 hour window.

We do have kibble back up but she doesn't normally eat kibble so its hard to convince her otherwise...but suppose she will need to accept it for now.

Last week when I was asking people in groups about their preparations for pets everyone was don't worry pet stores are essential, and now more and more non-chain stores are closing or going online ordering only and picking up.

I would have stocked up last week, but disability doesn't come until this Wed, but we did manage to get a bag of kibble with an Amazon credit.

Me neither, but there's a place that's opened up very near me and now I'm freelance and not subject to prying and restrictive policies, I'm thinking of getting into it.

Yes in that case I could see summer being a bit better, can at least do some yard work and such.
