Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

I'm so jealous that you all had your gall bladder removed and I haven't

I want to join your club

Lol.......you can be an honorary member..........just because it's you............

StL.........hope you are back to normal and are doing the parks.......maybe not commando, that's never fun anyway..........have always seen signs for that Holy Land Experience.....impressive looking building! Glad DW enjoyed it anyway..........



I'm in the wide awake club...........it's almost 4.30am and think as I slept couple of hours last night........this is as much sleep as I'm getting.

It's hot and every window is open so air is getting through........birds are merrily singing.......who is ever that chirpy first thing this time of the morning........I'm a morning person really, but even so.........and dh has gone down to watch our referendum results........he wanted to put tv on in our room......told him I may try to get back to sleep so off he went..........

Actually looks beautiful outside.......sea is shiny and still and sky looks so pretty..........if I had the energy I'd go for a walk.......maybe not

So it's hot there?
But you love hot weather

Consider it training for your Orlando trip

Today was hot Here
97 and right now close to midnight it is 85

But I have ac so it's good

My only concern we are in a drought and my flowery bushes and flowers , especially all my rose bushes are suffering
Have been watering them but it's never enough

StL hope you are feeling better
Enjoy the parks if you can

 

[macraven]

Cam come back or I'll send the search dogs out to find you

 

[schumigirl]

Yeah I love the heat.......but AC is not something that is even remotely normal over here in homes.......we just don't get anywhere near the temps or humidity that America gets on a regular basis.

So it can get uncomfortable during the night.......nope, not a complaint really.........I do like we get some good thunderstorms during the night down where we are now......didn't used to get them when we lived further up North....

I'm getting hungry though.........far too early at 5am to be eating..........lol.......or is it........

 

[macraven]

Schumi I have been watching the news about the voting in the UK

I can't comprehend if UK votes no on the issue

I'm hoping for the best over there

Watching tv in bed
Hope I don't wake up in the morning with the tv on
Lol

It's happen before.....

 

[schumigirl]

I'm waiting for DH to tell me what the result is.........we'll be grumpy if it's not the right result........lol.......

I love laying in bed watching tv usually......and have been known to fall asleep with it on.....

Are the cats not disturbing you yet?? Oh wait, I'm forgetting you're 5 hours behind and haven't slept yet......boy, am I going to be tired today........

Have to grocery shop today.........was supposed to be going round to friends house who's poorly, but as I have sore throat and bit achy I've told her I'll see her when it's better......don't want to pass it on to her.......

Did you finish all your chores today mac???

I've just read some results. Not sure if they're accurate.

Hope you feel better quickly. I always like honey tea when I have a sore throat.

Schmi I finally did a few things in the house that a normal person would have done in the first month when they had moved in

So now have the kitchen organized to be the way it should and will stay that way until the day I die

Master finally organized and looks better
Only have the window dressing to finish
I get so much more down when Mr Mac is out of town

Living room finished also

Only thing left is the blue room

Thought I was going to call it a night now but two cats just came in the room

Well they just hopped on my bed
If they fall sleep on it, I'll have to move to the couch

I'm going to google it now
And if the vote is off, schumi and husband can move to my house ..... As long as they like cats

I just didn't want to say and spoil it for her. Not sure which way she prefers To go as I've just started learning about it all. Figured she wanted to share with her husband.

I'm off to bed I believe. Goodnight all! Have a great Friday and weekend if we don't hear from you. Hope all heal that need healing and everyone else have a blast

 

[macraven]

I googled and found it



Unbelievable!

What were those people smoking when they voted ! ?????
Oh my

Think I read she's not a cat person. I have a dog. I however don't think she'd enjoy the close quarters and lack of a view at my place By the things I read a it gets. Sounds lovely! Maybe one of the beach houses...

Would you like a pool or no Schumi?

I do take lemon and ginger tea regularly, but with a sore throat do add honey even though I detest it......lol......but suffer it and just add more ginger........just made myself one right now........nice and hopefully will soothe it a little.....it does help.

You did good!!! I love getting things organised.......

You're moving for the cats.........lol.........well, I hope they move first and you get to stay in bed......sounds like you'll need a good sleep after a busy day.

And if the vote is off, schumi and husband can move to my house ..... As long as they like cats

Yay........good result (hopefully) although selfishly at the moment glad we got all our dollars when rate was higher........but hopefully it's the right decision. Expect a certain amount of unsettled markets for a while, but should settle down. Again hopefully, I'm certainly not an expert in this field.

I can put up with cats mac..........

I'd take a pool.....even though I can't swim........I like to lounge by side of them though.........with a cocktail in hand, and parasol to protect me from the sun.......I'm a bit of a princess really!!

I do like dogs over cats........

It is complicated I grant you......we voted leave for many reasons.........fed up being told what laws we can and can't have by unelected people in Brussels........that's just the simplistic version, can't get too political.......lol......don't want to get into trouble........

In the last several hours I've read so much!!! I am in no way an expert either and can't even pretend to know what's going on. I am very interested to see what happens though. I've read a decent amount of different views and I can see where they're all coming from. Very interesting....

Hey this is super random.... There was a lady in the store the other day looking for cream to cook with. The store stocker was no help at all to her and pointed her towards milk. I could tell by her accent she was from over there somewhere(sounded British to me.) She was looking at all the milks and I asked her if she was looking for milk or cream and she said "you know to make pastas with" so I pointed her towards the heavy whipping cream or regular cream. Told her what I Used each for. She thanked me and said "they're just not labeled like this at home." Makes me wonder how they are labeled. Do you have a comparison?
I am always intrigued by the differences between places. Like the time I was sitting at outback in Orlando and the table next to us was very confused to why the salads came out first and not with their food. I'm sure I'd be royally confused if I jumped over to pond

 

[macraven]

Be glad you got the money out d now

 

[schumigirl]

We call heavy cream, double cream.......I think.........

Yes, so many differences. I always say we speak the same language but in very different ways at times.......

I still remember my sons face at one comment our first visit, he was 13. Woman said she loved my fannypack.......means something very different over here........lol......so for a 13 year old to hear that used he was shocked and laughed......not a word that's used in polite company......although perfect for describing some people at times........

Yes, here salads are usually served with a main meal.......I prefer the way it's done in the US. But I suppose for first timers it can get confusing.

 

[BagOLaughs]

Good morning all you lovely people. I love it too seeing and hearing all the cultural differences between places, even here in the UK different regions have different ways of saying and doing things. For example I found out recently in Birmingham they call a forward roll (you know like in gymnastics) a gambol. Martin said it the other day and I was just like a WHAT?! hahaha!

Unfortunately for me my side "lost" in the vote. Contrary to Shumi I voted to stay. Ah well... it will be interesting to see how the next few months pan out. I'm glad I purchased my HHN tickets when I did. 1.33 usd per gbp. Rubbish!

 

[schumigirl]

It's a tough one Rachel isn't it........time will tell if it's for the best.........

Ouch on the tickets!!! 1.33???? Wow........we got $1.48 on Tuesday and thought we were lucky.........but still had loads of TC's and $$ left over from previous years trip.......so won't change anything for us thankfully. Feel for people who are getting them today........but, it'll sort itself out.

Heard from compatriots in Holland they want a referendum to leave the EU too..........interesting.........

But, yes, I love the differences between uk and us languages.........had a few weird conversations over the years at mixed messages.........I remember asking for "chillies" over my salad in a restaurant........she looked at me and I realised I should have asked for jalapeños.........lol.......glad she didn't pour a cup of chilli over the salad.......
