Two hoses, nozzles and hose holders for the front and back yards, and a toilet seat for the bath.  Easier and cheaper to buy on-line than to go to the store and browse all the goodies.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

I bought something from The Netherlands.  I don't know what though.  I got an email from Royal Mail with a Dutch tracking number saying my package is on it's way.  I thought it was spam but I look the tracking number up and it's legitimate.

I've got no orders not accounted for so I haven't a clue what it is.

Same. Drives me nuts, too. My son has to deal with "anti-maskers" at the grocery store where he works, daily.

I wear a simple cloth face mask AND a plastic covering that attaches to a baseball cap.
I like both, because my cloth mask catches most of my "droplets" and the over the face shield continually reminds me to keep my hands away from my face, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc.

I bought an Instashield brand face covering. Can't say how much "scientific" good it does to prevent the spread of a virus, but any aid in facilitating a constant awareness of where my hands have been before I touch my face benefits ME, mostly.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Masks are still mandatory here, but the one way aisles are all gone in the stores. I miss that.  :dunno:

They were never mandatory here, just "recommended". :'(

Some people do wear masks, but not enough of them, and our government is as spineless and weak as ever.

It was some red floral pattern cotton masks I ordered from Aliexpress about 6 months ago and forgot about.
