Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Morning crew here.

Tea is steeped, enjoying a cup, well, now ready for the second. Yep, thirsty Thursday it is. Going to be the nicest day of the week, almost 80 by this afternoon, then the weather falls apart. Rain and more rain, with thunderstorms for the next 4 days. And, the temperature drops tonight too. Sigh, but what a way to start June though. Sun peaking through the clouds, lower humidity, and light wind. Already 68. Walking at lunchtime is on schedule.

I really enjoyed touring Scotland. Took my mum to the Edinburgh Castle for a Tattoo. Quite a show it was. Was part of a tour we did, years ago, visiting Scotland, England, and Wales. One of my favorite places, was the English lakes area, and getting warm gingerbread from a small bakery along a lake. Some beautiful scenery on that tour long ago.

HeHe, getting little one to look over the Mouse restaurants. Few more weeks before our 180, but there needs to be a basic agreement. Older one has one request, the rest of where we eat he does not care about. He's good at eating almost everything, it's little one that's the picky eater. She's quite the connoisseur of chicken nuggets. Even brand sensitive. For the Dark Side, I'll be stalking around the end of October. Both kids like Fiinnegan's, so I'll try to make a reservation there. Still annoyed that Margaritaville stopped using Open Table, and now says no reservations. I hope they change that for the holidays.

So ready for vacation.

I, too, am enjoying my morning tea at work. I can't sand coffee and I've tried to like it. A day and a half of work and then I go on a short weekend vacation to a local campground to just get away from it all. I've been quiet here for the past few days.. hitting a lull in my excitement for my trip.. but it's getting closer every day.

145,440 hours until I leave for UO!!!

HeHe, Chuckers is on a count down. Like how you count it in different ways. I haven't quite yet started any count down, as first one is still months away. Nice that you get to go away for the week-end, even if to a local campground. Hope you have no rain as we'll be getting a very wet week-end. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I do enjoy a cup now and then. Iced coffee I can do, if with cream and sugar. Hot, I tend to like black, but if it is the kind that bites, then cream and sometimes sugar too. Tea is far more my favorite, plain. I tend to have it most every morning at work too. A YaY, as UO is getting closer every hour for Chuckers.

HeHe, Mac, mum would have to have love my daughters. It didn't make me any more interested in Bag Pipes. Was neat to hear all the music. But never bought any to listen to. I hear bag pipes in July, as we have several bag pipe bands that march in our Fourth of July parades.

Hope you've had a good cup of coffee Mac, and cats are behaving when you're doing your PT. Sending good thoughts every day.

Hate bagpipes and tattoos..........

Did have to read that twice as I thought why would you take her to Edinburgh for a tattoo??? Then I read it again......not a fan of either type of tattoo.........do like gingerbread, the Scottish type though with icing on top.


Boiling hot today......where did that come from........supposed to be cool! Heading out to get a few bits from grocery store.......fancy some smoked salmon for dinner.........with salad and French bread sticks......made a cheesecake for dessert tonight, cinder toffee and caramel flavour.......very sweet, but will still be fresh for them tomorrow night too.

Will be driving into rain tomorrow I believe, leaving England with nice weather behind. Maybe forecast will change by then.......it's Scotland.....usually if you don't like the weather, wait half an hour and it'll change anyway.........

Having a couple of nights in a favourite hotel with mum again.......had to tell her as she was making plans for us, so she was over the moon when I told her......she loved the giant bed she had in her room last time!

Hope everyone's having great day........

I have a website that does the count down for me. It lets you save it so you can go back any time and refresh the numbers. On Saturday I'll do my double digit dance because it will be only 99 days to UO
Weather is showing a chance of rain this weekend.. but should be pretty decent otherwise. However, that can all change the moment I set up camp.

If I didn't already have a big ole grin on me mush today (go pens!!!)...

This would've done it, let the summer begin

Ps a sucker for bagpipes and if 20 years younger would likely be inked

Good day all

 

[schumigirl]

Keisha, she is a real little beauty.......but, she's growing up so quickly! She looks so different from last set of pics......and that wasn't so long ago!! Time flies........and she's wearing purple.......

Sorry I have a vision now of you getting a tattoo of a little guy playing bagpipes.........


All packed for my trip home tomorrow.......takes around 5 hours to drive up with an extra half hour break for lunch and comfort break.......hoping for decent weather.

Feel like a snack...........

Nwahaha maybe a stud-ly bagpiper . Note to self, never-ever do an image search for sexy bagpiper. Some things cannot be unseen

may the road rise up to meet you

 

[macraven]

I still say the little in purple is a Keisha mini me


Schumi sorry have not been around today but wanted to give you a big wave goodbye for the journey today


Hope all homies are doing fine


One more day and weekend is here!

 

[macraven]

Wait!!

Why I still do the hooray weekend is near?

I don't work anymore
Retired and all days are the same for me

Our night owls are gone

No tinyD or pc in weeks
I still have left the light on for them just in case

 

[schumigirl]

Mac...........as a fellow lady of leisure who gives no thoughts to going to back to work ever........I'm exactly the same.......I still look forward to the weekends........don't think that'll ever change.........


Setting off soon.........friends are looking forward to me coming back with a strong Scottish accent again. Apparently whenever I come back from time at home my Scottish dialect comes back stronger than ever..........

Thanks for the wishes........catch youse yins soon.........

 

[tink1957]

Glad I woke up in the middle of the night so I can wish you bon voyage Carole.

Now I'm going back to sleep....good night.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travel Schumi. So nice to be able to enjoy family and friends time.

Wahoo!

It's FRIDAY! Yes, even for the retired or not working today homies - YES! IT IS FRIDAY.

No matter it was a short work week, I am so ready for the weekend. And, older one sometimes has a heart. Offered to take little one to her camp meeting early this Saturday morning. That means, DH and I will have a quiet Saturday morning. I need to buy more bacon. LOL

and a funny:

-- Yep, HHN is slowly creeping up. but it's Friday ----

Off to make another pot of tea. Seems, the 56 degrees outside, with the most beautiful sunrise, all the overnight clouds that brought rain are gone leaving it cool and oh so bright. No matter, the thunderstorms will make a messy commute home this afternoon. But for now, loving that sunshine. Have an awesome day all.

Chuckers, one day closer to vacation. Tick, Tick, Tick.

 

[Chuckers]

Lynne - I know... it's only 100 days!!!! SA-WEET!!!

Schumi have a great trip!
