An Eat My Dust Weekly Link Round-Up

 


The past week has been nice and quiet, with the type of beautiful weather that makes the snow birds begin to flock to the area. I still have medical appointments three days a week, but my brain has finally begun to spin and whir over how I'm going to reorganize my side of the closet in our bedroom. Boy howdy, does it need it!

As of this writing (on Monday), Denis and I are going to hop on our scooters and trundle over to the CVS pharmacy at Target to get our Covid and RSV vaccines. Something tells me a race between us might ensue, and since Denis is the one who believes I should have an Eat My Dust bumper sticker on the back of my scooter, I think that makes me the favorite to win. I haven't been over there since May, so I'm looking forward to doing a little shopping.

Speaking of shopping, I'm going to share a photo I found of the very first place in which I made a purchase when I spent the day in Hay-on-Wye in England. I still have the plastic carrier bag from there, too!




Enjoy the links!

That's all for this week! Don't forget to stop by next Friday when I'll be sharing a freshly selected batch of links for your surfing pleasure.

No matter how busy you may be, don't forget that quality Me Time curled up with a good book!

  1. Oh, I'd like tickets to that race to CVS, Cathy! I'll bet it would be great. And I'm glad you're both well enough to get up and out a little. I'll want to know how it went just as soon as I'm back from King Tut's tomb...

    1. Now... how did I know that you'd be heading in that direction? ;-)

  2. So happy you guys are getting out a little more, Cathy - even if it's just to get 'shots' - ha! And I will take you up on the quality 'Me Time' with a book and advise everyone coming by here to do the same. Go to your 'happy place' - which for most of us will be 'nose in a book'.

    1. The nurses at the clinic where I go every Friday think I have an odd "complaint": they are so on-the-ball that I never have more than a minute or two to read my book! LOL

  3. A fascinating roundup, as per usual. I was particularly interested in the Bird Photographer of the Year awards and Harris County's "sanctuary" libraries, one of which, the Tomball library, is less than a mile from my house and is "my" library. And it is good to know that Methuselah is still swimming.

    1. It's good to hear that one of Texas's "sanctuary" libraries is your library, Dorothy. I thought of you when I posted the Bird Photographer of the Year link. :-)

  4. I want to go to Hay-on-Wye someday! Enjoy your weekend. :D

    1. I loved the day that I was able to spend there, Lark. I hope you get the chance to visit.

  5. Like Dorothy, I was pleased to see that my own library is on the Harris County sanctuary library map (we are #4); it's about three miles from me and I pass by it several times a week - and stop way too often.

    That bookstore picture brought back great memories. I only made it out to Hay-on_Wye a couple of times, but each visit was like entering book lover's heaven. Such a great place to shop for used books...and it cost me a fortune in shipping charges when it was time to relocate back to Texas.

    Happy to have you back and posting again.

  6. I want to go to Hay-on-Wye someday, with ample time to browse and a decent budget to buy (and possibly ship home, instead of schlepping on the plane). For now, though, I'm going to start with Kakhovka, and then see about the Spanish necklaces, for starters.

    1. I had to limit myself to what I could pack in my luggage, unfortunately.

  7. Glad you two are getting out and about. There is something so relaxing about browsing the aisles of Target 🙂. I am definitely hoping to squeeze in some "me time" between Thanksgiving preparation!

    1. I know how busy Thanksgiving prep can be, so I hope you're successful at finding that Me Time!
