Collecting can be interesting!


























Hi! Glad it is the end of the day. It has been a full tid of a day.

Alan went to the doctor this afternoon; and his leg injury is on the mend; but it will take at least a few bit more months to heal properly. His injured shoulder, from an old soccer encounter, some 25 years ago, is not "fixable'. Basically, he will just have to put up with the uncomfortable pain that flares up every now and then. He just has to go back for some blood work, to complete the physical.

Also, the legal bittiduals are a real mess. Too exhausting to do tidbituals at the moment. Save that, we have a very strong position; and we are prepared to take it to court, because there have been some major wrong doings here. Enough of that for now.

We accomplished a lot of our bittidz business; as well as getting tidbitz things organized both on the home front, and on the business side of things; before we leave next week.

Enjoyed a relaxing bath before dinner; 'just what the doctor ordered!' It was soothing to my soul, and comforting to hear the down pour of rain on the above skylight. And lit candles, made it all the more an enjoyable ambience.

I also did a bittid of rearranging our oyster plates. Yes, oyster plates! I have collected them over the last tidbit of years; and thought I would place them where I have an easier access to use them! I LOVE oysters! Alan is not an 'oyster fan'; however, he loves his prawns. I have a couple of books on the history re: the collecting of 'oyster plates'; 3 of our 28 plates are listed in these 2 books! Think I will have to invest in another oyster book! Collecting oyster plates is an interesting hobby; perhaps some of you can relate? Or, whatever it is, you have an avid interest in collecting. If we had oodles of room in our home, I would hang the plates on the wall; and / or put them on valences; as you see in restaurants.

Tidbit - A collection is considered to be more than one of the same tid item! So, as a start, if you have 2 pieces or more, you are a collector! Plus, appreciating whatever it is you collect (or about to collect! LOL!), can be like a "breath of fresh air", when you are a tidbit weary; as it calms your mind from bittid 'stuff'. We have these 2 books (same as photo image); and the above photo image of the oyster plate, is very similar to one that we own.

Also, as a relatively new collector of oyster plates, there are many many oyster plates out there; and some of the designs are incredible! Wonderful plates that can hold 4, 5, 6 or more oysters! Have a couple of 'oyster shooters'. Literally you have one raw oyster (or a tiny few; depending on the type of oyster) in the bit oyster shooter (photo image is similar to the individual shooters we have) and you just swallow it whole, with a bit of tabasco and lemon; or whatever sauce, is of appeal to you! - Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Yummmmmmm.

Bittid - Was having computer difficulties earlier; so am a bit late in blogging tonight. Am going to call it a night now. Listen to your body when it is saying, "Go to bed". I think I will dream of delicious recipes of oysters tonight! LOL!

Good Night and God Bless.
