Something About Nothing..........#11

[schumigirl]

Rainy and cool here so no outdoor activities today...guess I'll just relax and enjoy my lukewarm cup of coffee since we're in the middle of a planned power outage this morning.
Carole...good luck with the eye test and internet issues...I gave up on my desktop as it had continued problems

Planned power outage!! Never fun..........yes just relax and take it easy.......have a treat or two.......

Eye test was good......no change in a year so I'm happy.

Internet sorted finally!! You know Tom......easy going guy.....but even he was riled with amount of time Internet was lost.......so guy came out and replaced router and other stuff so it's back to top speed.........and free for 4 months because of the hassle......

Relaxing night in front of us...........

Hello Homies! I have been away from the boards a bit during tax season (make that a lot) and am just dabbling my way back in. I noticed while reading this forum on my phone, there was some sort of Harry Potter related meet up in December? Am I imagining this? When I am not logged in (like on my phone), I get different messaging. Soooo.....what is up?

Nice to see ya.........

Is a Disapalooza Diagonal Alley night........it's on December 5th from 9pm and I think $75. They're usually good fun according to couple of peeps who've gone to these type of things before.........


Been raining overnight......had everything yesterday.....sunshine.....rain and hailstones......sun is shining at the moment. Slept soundly last night but again woke up feeling like I haven't slept at all! Have to get moving and get my day started.................

mac - happy trails!

morning all, will be dodging the rain drops here today while I'm out and about. Leaves are just starting to form on the trees. Noticed yesterday a very large nest in tree near the woods. Later in the day saw two birds one in nest & one on branch. The on the branch is at least 1-1/2 feet from head to end of tail. we have lots of hawks, they are more tan. Not sure but the bigger one may have a band on his left foot. Anybody a birder here? I can't tell if they are very large hawks or falcons (which are protected here).

now we know where all the bunnies went

Keisha,
we have white tail and red tail hawks that are routine around my way. The falcons we have are mostly peregrine, with a stripped belly when younger and mostly gray and smaller than the hawks. Looks more like a hawk to me, so red tail maybe? I think the white tails are generally a little bigger, so your guy does look like a red tailed hawk.

Yep, and Mr. Bunny was on my front lawn, and tried to hide under my car when I walked out the door. Dumb bunny, ran again when I started the car. Ahh, spring. Was driving home past the state park around dinner time, and there were 2 young deer staring at me at the side of the road. Almost looked fake, but I sped past them hoping I didn't scare them. Thankfully, still saw them in my rear mirror. Grass is slowly making it green around here, actually heard some mowers this past week-end. Hope our weather people are right, we may be in the 70's by Monday.

Time for tea.

Not a twitcher....so couldn't tell one bird from another......unless it's on my plate of course.......lol.......hope you don't get too wet today.......we were just saying last week how all our fruit trees are flowering.......and leaves are filling out.....nice to see after a long winter.........supposed to be a sign of a good fruit yield.......



Nice day today, had lunch out with a friend, just the two of us. Nice catch up as I hadn't seen her for about 6 weeks or so........Then went shopping for few bits and pieces. Will give dinner a miss tonight....just fed my two guys though.......

Going for cuppa though

tea & crumpets? lol You're lucky bambi & co didn't decide to hit the streets.

we have lots of hawks around who hunt in the farmers fields near my home, but they are much smaller. I looked up the two varieties you mentioned. I'm leaning towards the red tail since the nest size is comparable and it's a good 60+ feet off the ground.

Hey homies.
Long day and now in room
I'm so not used to getting up at 6:00 am.....
And getting on a tour bus around 7:00 am.
CW tout is great but long days.
Hit Kentucky (hi to ky 07) and 3 forts in Tn in 11 hours straight today.

Just checked my emails and nothing from you schumi......

I think the email you sent me went to email heaven....

Weather is great and very spring like here.

Hope all are doing fine

See you all monday

 

[schumigirl]

Janet.....how is Mr keisha enjoying his new ride???

Sent another one off mac........problem sorted!

Missing the purple..........glad you're having fun though



Housework and grocery shop this morning..........lovely. Then haircut tomorrow and not much else all weekend.....may pop to racing circuit with my two guys and drive some cars around for a while.......you don't always have to book months ahead of time, so if they have a gap we'll get in and have some fun


Happy Friday........

 

[keishashadow]

Happy May Day comrades, solidarity forever! find yourselves a pole and do a dance We have parades and celebrations throughout the weekend here. Curious if other areas do it up big too.

carole - the mr is a very happy camper. was shopping for suitcases yesterday and saw that delsey now has a very regal purple color line.

mac - getting up early is good for the soul. take a few pics and share, know nothing of the CW activity in that area.

 

[macraven]

Getting up by 6:00 am isn't my thing

Glad to hear he`s enjoying the new drive ...........I`ve looked at Delsey over here as we do need new luggage.....we can`t get any of them in purple over here Think my mister is pleased about that..........

Getting up by 6:00 am isn't my thing

I hear ya.......I was up so early this morning I could have called you for a chat as you wouldn`t have gone to bed yet!!!!! Just couldn`t get back to sleep at all.


Anyway.....got hair done first thing this morning, quite shortish for a change........ then as we couldn`t get into drive any cars as circuit was fully booked, DS and I went quad biking for a couple of hours. DH wasn`t feeling so good so he stayed home while we rambled around in the wild......it was so much fun but I forgot how much you ache from holding yourself on those things.......we had a blast though. It`s cold but dry today so, perfect for quads.

May have a soak in the bath later........Indian takeout for dinner tonight I think......no cooking.

Hope everyone`s having a great Saturday

 

[keishashadow]

carole - how short did you go? I'm thinking of getting mine lopped off to shoulders this weds. I have had hair colored since early December, now i have an ombre effect of sorts. quad biking looks rather vigorous, along the lines of the paddle boats.

getting ready for the Kentucky Derby, then going to see new Avengers movie. Talked the mr into extending our upcoming trip to hit Disney for the 24 hr day. any excuse will do to stay a bit longer in Florida

My hair is sitting just on or just below my shoulder........it needed a good cut for a while. This is the shortest I've been for ages........I straighten mine every day so usually like it longer but it looks good.....I can still see it iykwim......so not that short. I have too fat a face for very short hair.....lol......go for it......is your hair really long just now?

Quad biking or I think you would call it an ATV??? No energy required at all......I'm not fit so I wouldn't be on anything you need to work at to make go just switch on the engine and go. I have tried the two wheel dirt bike but prefer the four wheeled variety.......long as it has an engine and I don't need to pedal.........I'll go on it.......I'm lazy like that!

Kentucky Derby......sounds fun. Oh definitely extend another day.........any excuse wil do........



This is a holiday weekend here.......typical weather..it's grey, dark ,windy and raining. Lovely.

Going out for some groceries and I want a new bathroom cabinet for our ensuite and some new accessories for in there too. No rush to get out today though....lazy morning I think.

Making pancakes for breakfast I think today..........

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just a note to let you know my dad is finally home from the hospital. He is doing well.
We are having beautiful weather here. Enjoying being outside for a change.

Fabulous news Mrs bluer.........so good to hear dad is home and doing well. Must be a huge relief to everyone



Turned out a lovely day after such a horrible morning here...........

Bought new bathroom cabinet and some bits......then thought since I'm renewing some stuff.......might as well do ensuite all up! So although walls are mainly tiled I do have some parts painted.......so bought some fresh paint and will start it tomorrow. Just need a new blind for window now at some point in next week after painting is finished.

I'm honestly not a big shopper........

BEST news I've heard all weekend!
Thanks for the update...Still got y'all on my "Good Thoughts List!"...

that's what they all say I justify it as cheaper than cost of therapy At the point where I want to hit the easy button re hair kwim? Have you ever tried a keratin treatment/blowout? They work well for the straight look with little effort. I've been doing the beachy wave thing to switch things up & faster than the flat iron for me.

wonderful news for the blu crew!

quiet here without our fearless leader isn't it?

 

[macraven]

got home over an hour ago and of course the first thing i had to do was check emails and the sans.....

what wonderful news to read that Mrs Bluer's dad is back home and doing so much better.


went from about 80 degrees this morning and all afternoon to a chilly 47 now.

well, it feels chilly after having gorgeous weather in nashville...

but 47 is so much better than the cold temps we had a week ago at home.

 

[Lynne G]

Great news Mrs. Bluer!

And that Florida heat must have been pumped up here - 80 degrees today!

Hope Schumi is enjoying the bank holiday. Do you have another one coming up? We have no bank holidays. But, this month we have flag day, and memorial day. Only one is an official day off.

So, happy Monday to you all!
