Happiness is a pleasant, productive Saturday

✓ The humidity dropped into the 40s and the temperature into the 50s.

✓ The windows were opened and the oven cleaned.

✓ The wheel bearing job on the old car was finished.
 
✓ Weeds on the sidewalk were torched.
 
✓ Groceries were sorted and frozen.
 
✓ Pizzas were made from scratch, as usual.
 
✓ Jeeves and Wooster provided the entertainment with a cottage set ablaze.
 
✓ The internet and the phone came back.
 
✓ Power was restored after four days without.
 
✓ And the generators finally fell silent.
