Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

I had on a wool pull over ls sweater and my Mickey velour jacket
And of course long pants

Was cold

Wearing two layers today

Can not sleep
Woke up at 1/30 am
Miserable no sleeping

Room has its own kind of noise

Sounds like ocean waves in a wind tunnel constantly going on

Noticed it when we checked in around 5

Did pre check in and texted at 4
But still driving and could. Not contact Disney to refuse room

Bad building and location
So waited at front desk some time for new room

Of a winner
Going to parks today if I don't fall
Back asleep

Stay warm lynne

 

[schumigirl]

Not sleeeping is miserable. And cold too in Orlando..........

Enjoy the parks anyway.........



Monday again..........waiting in for parcels to come today I ordered.........one of them is a halogen air oven thing.......not quite sure about it, but heyho......give it a try........and few other kitchen bits.......

So, a quiet day, but looks cold outside so will keep busy inside today.

 

[macraven]

Stared coffee at the food court when it opened

Gonna be a long day for me

Right now it is 49 and the high so far will be 61 at 4 today

I could be back home for those temps
But then I would be cooking everyday so it is still a nice trade off

Hope all the homies stay warm
And enjoy Monday

Hope your new room is better for you mac...good news is it's supposed to be in the 70's there after today so hang in there.

I'm hoping to get my raised bed planted today since Trey kindly built it for me yesterday. I have over 200 spring bulbs taking up room in my fridge so it will be nice to get my vegetable bin back. It should look amazing if everything blooms.

I will rest tomorrow Carole.
I have a friend who has an air fryer and she loves it ...Not sure if that's the same thing as your oven though..

Not having a good sleep stinks Mac. Hope you got a better location and less noisy room. I agree, even a bad day on vacation is better than having it at home. And you can have someone else make the coffee for ya, so that's a good day start. Hope you are enjoying the parks.

Yay! Okay, 34 degrees, but just snow flurries, the snow is staying south of us. We still may get snow though, the clipper is coming by Wednesday, so where it hits with lots of snow or not depends on the winds. Good thing, a clipper is quick, cold, and wet. So, whatever it dumps, sleet or snow, it will be done in a day.

Hmm, air oven. Sounds interesting Schumi. Have to let us know how well it does cooking. I think I've seen advertisements for them, but never had the urge to try one out.

So, hope all homies enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea, and have a great Monday. This month is almost over, and the love month is coming soon. Hang in there all.

Hope everyone is staying warm! Though Orlando is chilly for Orlando, it feels pretty good in the sun right now. It's supposed to get down to about 37 tonight so wear your jackets! I hope you get a much better room for your troubles Mac.

Busy day here - my craft group Monday morning - left it early to collect DGD from pre school - she was 3 at Christmas so started just 2 mornings a week. Did some batch cooking this afternoon - bolognese, chilli & cottage pie - then to collect DGS from school - finally managed to book seats on our outgoing flight in October- no problem for the return we've got Premium but wanted extra legroom going out for 6 of us. Need to get dates in the diary for when bookings open while I've got the time!

Hope you're all well and Mac enjoys her trip - Schumi that sounds interesting - I've no room in the kitchen for any more!

Hey all from frigid Florida! Not quite freezing temps but there is a frost warning tonight. Saw Mac for a few minutes, she looked cold...must be that southern blood & all now. JK I'm used to the cold living up north & have experienced winter weather in Florida but last 2 days were somewhat surprising.

Had Strong winds this am, but at least the sun was shining chased away yesterday's damp weather/heavy rain in the am. I had on layers (t-shirt/long-sleeved heat gear, heavy zip up Mickey Mouse hoodie/sweatshirt, long pants and gloves) but it still felt really cold last night @ Epcot.

At the Wyndham Bonnet Creek until Friday when we move over to PBH. Haven't wandered out to pools or even hot tubs yet as it's been so brisk, looking forward to taking a dip tomorrow as long as temps hit 70 degrees. Worst case I'll flop like Shamu into our over-sized jacuzzi tub which is pretty sweet.

It's a kind of halogen oven air thing.........going to try it tonight.......not sure. I do have a Tefal Air Fryer and it's decent enough, but prefer either my aga or normal oven if I'm honest.........

Your flowers will be lovely! How nice of Trey to do that for you.......he's a nice lad. Don't work too hard Vicki......

Hmm, air oven. Sounds interesting Schumi. Have to let us know how well it does cooking. I think I've seen advertisements for them, but never had the urge to try one out.

I always have the urge to try out newish gadgets! Whether I'll keep it or not, will wait and see. Hope your weather isn't too bad.

It'll pick up soon Kohlby..........it's always nice to see the sun though isn't it.........

Well, a couple of years ago I had a mass clear out of gadgets I didn't use........juicer! Pasta maker?? So as I don't like things cluttering up my counters and worktops, I put everything in the cabinets. My husband just sighs and smiles as he sees the empty spaces slowly being filled back up.......we have loads of space though.

I love batch cooking! Glad you got flights sorted.......always nice to get them done.......

It should never be cold in Orlando!!! Hope it warms up for all youse out there now.....have fun!



Grey and miserable here today.......cold and supposed to rain later, wind is already building. Already been out to get some bits with DS as it's his day off, so will spend the rest of the day in the house........be nice to have him home for lunch today.

Have a guy coming this afternoon to fix the handle on one of the doors of my aga........it's just a little loose. He's a fantastic tradesman, but a little lax with time. Says 1pm, he turns up at 2.30. He's just so busy. But worth it.

Have a great Tuesday.........

Morning all!! Arrived Sunday and and checked in to the Holiday Inn and Suites on International Drive. Hopped the shuttle for Uni yesterday at 10 am. We were a bit chilled at first, but no worries, it warmed up nicely as the day went on.

Not having express is a new experience for us, but lines at IOA weren't too bad.

Today it's the same plan, except we are hitting the Studios.

End of the day on our way out, upgraded our Undercover Tourist B2G1F tix to regular Annual Pass (Seasonal) for 10 bucks each

There will be a trip report after we get back!!

T T Tuesday. A balmy 25 right now. At least the snow shower yesterday left an icy white coating on the grass and cars and that was it. To say fast, it was snowing furiously, coming sideways due to the high winds, when I left and drove home in it. But, then, a mile from my home, the wind died down, and the sun was out, blasting through the thin clouds like nothing happened.

We're still gray today, as the horizon is a very pale pink. Hopefully the sun will help our cool day. High is 33.

So, hope all homies are rising and enjoying this last day of January. Let the coffee and tea be hot and the day good.

Lucky Schumi gets to spend it with her DS. Hope you weather improves and had a nice lunch with him.

Hope the weather improves in Orlando and Mac and Tlinus are enjoying the parks. Yay! Tlinus will do a trip report.

Hehe, guess the chickens will still be waiting for oatmeal. Pictures?

 

[macraven]

Cold but time to hit the parks ..


Morning homies!

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family

are your knees okay any issues with them?
hope the rest of the body does not ache much longer but when you take a hard fall like you did, you'll be bruised and sore for sometime

Oh Robo, sounds like you had a great mini vacation, but sorry to hear of your fall. I hope you are healing well.

Robo!!! You fell.........oh hope you're ok........glad you had a nice relaxing time though......nice pics!

Robo, hope your bruises heal quickly.
Have a great weekend everyone

Oh my gosh, awful to hear you fell. Doing better today

Thanks everyone for asking about fall. Everything is taking turns hurting. Bruising has spread a bit, but all in all I know it could have been worse and I am thankful for that.

Mac, Keisha and tlinus weather is supposed to start warming up during the day every day for next few days so should make your days in the parks nice.

Need to get moving today. Back is hurting so will try to get the kinks out. I have family coming in for visit on Thursday for a few days. Looking forward to their visit. Need to plan a menu for a few days.

Schumi I had to look up what a aga oven was. How does that cook differently then a regular gas oven?

Was thinking of starting a thread of fun Potter products for Potter fans to buy at Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley and the Universal stores. I have noticed that Universal is adding more products to buy and discontinuing some. Thought this might help some Potter fans plan for purchases and also give those that have purchased Potter products share their pics.

 

[schumigirl]

Robo, hope its not too painful......bruises can really ache!

Aga's are on all the time. No dials or temperature controls.........plus it keeps the kitchen really warm too. We have a kind of two part kitchen, the older part with the aga which was large, and we extended it good few years back so trebled the size and put in a modern double oven/ceramic hob and changed all counter tops to granite to match the new ones, so, modernised it all except the aga which is a pretty slate grey/black colour.......some look old but ours is quite modern looking.

Everything cooks perfectly, things don't dry out. But, we don't always run it in the summer as it keeps hot all the time. I have the best of both worlds with ovens and cookers.

Folks either love them or don't. I'd look for a range type oven next time I think. When we move from here.......eventually.


Guy just left after fixing door. Now having a cuppa and watching Real Housewives of somewhere........

Hope Orlando is heating up a little for everyone that's out there..........

 

[Squirlz]

We got 5 inches of snow last night. Guess whose brand new snowblower quit working? It's electric so their only recourse is to replace it but that will take a week. Fortunately my neighbor saw my Facebook post and just cleared my driveway with his. We have good neighbors.

 

[Kivara]

Morning all!

Robo- hope those bruises go quickly, so glad your fall wasn't worse (but I'm sure it feels that way at times)

Scumi- have fun with your new kitchen gadget! The aga sounds like it would be nice to have here in the winter...my kitchen can get cold.

Squirlz - That stinks about your snowblower, but glad to hear you have a nice neighbor. Things like that always seem to break at the most inconvenient times!

Hope it warms up for all the homies in Orlando! Hope you get more sleep tonight Mac!

I'm off to start making homemade noodles and figure out a new recipe for roasting a chicken (didn't care for the last recipe I tried.) And my to-do list isn't getting any shorter on its own

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Wow that is a good neighbour! Glad they will replace it for you soon.

I've taken to cooking my chicken in the slow cooker since I saw it done on Pinterest! Stays super moist and no need to fret about it

 

[schumigirl]

We have rain today..........but not icy cold.........still pitch black outside, won't be long till it's light though........

Boring housework morning ahead I think.........

Lemon tea and breakfast first though........
