Something About Nothing............ #14

[schumigirl]

I’m bored.

Slow day today and I’ve run out of problems to research.

I thought I had found a good flight out of Roanoke. Only $198 round trip. The problem is that it arrives in Orlando just after midnight. I don’t want to be getting in that late.
I just hope B can get those days off work. I won’t book flights until I know for sure.


I don’t think I have ever taken a 5 am flight before. I wish SW flew out of my airport or Roanoke. They have some good rates for my trip, but the added expenses of going to Richmond negate the savings.


It always looks so tranquil.


I need to go find something to do. I don’t even have an insurance company to argue with today.

Our beach is very tranquil indeed, we have always walked in the mornings enjoying 5-6 miles a day and yes, it is a beautiful place to walk. It never gets overly busy especially early am when we tend to walk. However it can be very wild in the winter, not pretty and very, very grey oh and don`t forget cold!! In saying that, we don`t walk on the sand, we stick to the promenade which runs for most of the walk, sand can be quite hard to walk on if it`s soft.

Good luck with the flights, we did arrive once after midnight when we flew in from New York with Jet Blue, it wasn`t bad at all, incredibly quiet, but maybe not by choice. And yes hope your daughter can get the time off work for your trip.

lol....glad you have no fights today with those insurance folks!!




Hey mac, just saw you pop in before I posted...good to see you and enjoy that heat!!!!





We did end up going back out a second walk today after the butcher visit, it was so lovely, almost warm....almost!!! Both took our hoodies off after a couple of miles in, such a difference in the last few weeks, but now...it`s raining. No grilling those steaks outside tonight.

My friend Sue came over with her grandson this afternoon, he is a handful but gorgeous!!! I think he will be a heartbreaker for sure. She brought over some of her baking, she is the best baker I have ever met, nothing ever goes wrong and it`s always light as a feather. So, we passed an hour or so chatting and wandered down to the fruit trees when the little guy got a little restless.

I made some dauphinoise potatoes for tonight and some spring greens cooked in butter....yep, lots of butter, perfect with rare steaks, fillet for me and a rather huge sirloin for Tom, enjoyed a large glass of Malbec too which is always nice. Perfect meal, it was gorgeous.

Pot of tea time now and a slice of my friend`s lemon butter cake...lush!

 

[keishashadow]

Lavendar is one of my favourite plants

Love the smell, just realized I don’t have any. Need to rectify that.

Yup, it’s what we do lol

Can’t argue with that

Gorgeous morning,

Wow, stunning

And hair salon visit today

Seems like you just went. I’m up to bat tomorrow.

Family made good time to Phillie. Took obligatory pic with the rocky statue.

The problem is that it arrives in Orlando just after midnight. I don’t want to be getting in that late.

Nope, I’m with you. Not a fan of late arrival for any travel

It’s another warm day in the south.

And that’s a good thing. Getting any of the drenching rain from FL yet.

She brought over some of her baking, she is the best baker I have ever met, nothing ever goes wrong and it`s always light as a feather.

I heard of that happening, never on my watch lol

dauphinoise

Not only do I need to google those, pretty sure I can’t pronounce the word either.

Don’t laugh, i originally read it as

She picked a great weekend here, Keisha. 88 tomorrow, and 81 the high temps for the weekend days. And full days of sun these next three days. I wish her lots of good luck for lots of metals. If they need anything, just let me know. Hehe, those Art Museum stairs. Rocky fans know. lol

Has been a beautiful night. Walked down to the gelato place, and their mint chocolate chip is so refreshing. Now all are chilling, as men work tomorrow. Asked little one, going to the shore tomorrow or Wednesday? Guess we will make that decision tomorrow morning. I’m leaning toward Wednesday.

Keisha, my hair salon visit was 5 weeks ago. Time does fly by. Decided to cut almost 6 inches off. Told her, as long as I can still tie my hair up. Just at my shoulders now, and legally blonde. 6 weeks from today is next visit, as salon closed all week, 5 weeks from now, so I’d rather stretch it to 6 rather than 4 weeks from now. I swear hair grows faster in the summer time.

Oh so dark out. Time for a mug of tea. I can drink it and still pass out in another hour from now. I should turn alarm off, but DH will say no. We both are always awake before it goes off most mornings. Difference tomorrow morning, I may roll back to sleep, or just chill after having that extra long shower, as no need to be moving fast. I appreciate that lazy Friday. And thinking since Fourth of July is on a Thursday this year, highly thinking of taking off that Friday after. I assume it will be a liberal leave day, as they say. So will ask for it off, next week. Then bonus 4 day weekend for that July holiday. Woot!

 

[keishashadow]

Thanks Lynne. They are having a great time. Unfortunately, have to return home late tomorrow as my DS heads to Edmonton Saturday for two weeks as GM of US team for this event

Pumpkin is going to have a real plethora of sports fans in her neck of the woods.

I’m going to “try” to get my stylist to lop off more than last time. I’ve been wanting a lob to just hit my shoulders, otherwise it’s up in a clip or pony in any sort of heat. She is just so darned careful to avoid drastic changes, insists things be gradual. Not going to argue as she is a real keeper. Seems like every time I get a stylist “trained” they move out of area, go back to school, change careers, go to jail (not kidding, happened twice eek).

Yup, lavender is gorgeous we have a fair amount in our garden and around this whole area...

This isn`t my picture, one of my friends sent it and said we should visit this lavendar farm soon, it is beautiful.

Yes, the smell when it`s in full bloom is gorgeous.

I love dauphinoise potatoes....I prefer the creamier au gratin but just for a change, it`s nice to switch dishes around. You made me laugh as little Elise used to call them dolphin nose spotatoes...yes, she adds the extra s to potatoes even today.

yup, like we chatted about you would definitely suit that style and you have tried for ages to get her to do it....lol.....today is the day, go for the lop, we`ll be like twins!!!! Yes, I hope this gal works out for you, you have been jinxed for sure with stylists!!!

I know I was gutted when my previous stylist left that old salon, but I love..love...love my new gal, she is a real professional and she does beauty treatments lie waxing too, so I get the full pamper when I go which I love. Now I`m glad I moved as like I said it was time for a change.

Enjoy your salon time today!!!






Farm store delivery coming between 10-11am and fridge freezer coming between 10-12....yup, they`re both going to arrive at the same time. Then we`ll head out a walk along the beach again, won`t wander up into the woods just yet as we`ve had so much rain recently.

Trying to arrange another pamper day for myself and the friend who we stayed with when we got our roof done, trying to find a day she is free that suits us both is proving difficult, think I may have to just book something and tell her it can`t be changed so she`ll have to go. Just to say thank you again.

So, think we`ll have a morning of doing little jobs, get our deliveries and if it doesn`t rain we`ll go out a lovely walk.

Doing rack of lamb tonight for dinner, served medium rare, doing gratin potatoes, red wine sauce and some veg, undecided as I don`t know what the farm store will deliver....decided to risk it and order one of their mystery boxes.....as long as there`s no artichokes in the box, we`re good.

Leisurely breakfast, pancakes with bacon and turkey open sandwiches for lunch, food sorted for the day.

It`s the weekend, but just another day for us ladies of leisure.....

Good Friday Morning everyone

Hope you had a lovely day with the little guy, he is adorable!!!

We had the best time. Thank you Carole. We went to another Splash pad water play area and J had a blast.

Finally, I will leave you with pictures of our dinner guests tonight. We had 6 total, but I couldn’t get them all in one shot.

Beautiful photo of the deer in your yard.

Gorgeous morning, still a bit on the chilly side, but hopefully changing for the weekend!! I never tire of this view, no industrial views here, just open sea.

I love the photos of the Ocean.


It has really warmed up here and we will be in the 90’s today.

I went and shopped all the fixins for the big Father’s Day meal tomorrow. Ordered sheet cake with all the dad’s names on it. So today I will bake some cookies as everyone knows I will have baked goods to send home with them when they visit.

I made bracelet’s for everyone. Here are a few I made. The colors are not well captured on the camera, but they are vibrant. I hope everyone likes them.

One of our granddaughters is Teacher. I made another one for our other granddaughter she has 2 dogs so I made her a Fur Mom bracelets. I made my sister K another bracelet to go with her Grinch bracelet.


I saw the preview of Epic Universe store and I made some of those for the TM’s in the store.

I have a few for the TM’s working at the rides.

Halloween bracelets. I will give some to family, TM’s during HHN and any Sans family who I run into during the time I’am at HHN. I want to share my love of Halloween with others.


I have a few things to do in the yard today. Then onto my baking and getting things ready for the party tomorrow.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.


Days Until vaca

[Pumpkin1172]

It's Friday...just need to get through the workday first

DH was at the stanley cup game last night. Yes - the paid a pretty penny for tickets. But it was a once in a lifetime chance. He works hard for his money - so I would never say that maybe it could be spent a little better. Even though we lost - he had a great time and loved the experience of being there on such a big game.

Went out with ds's last night to help find them shirts that we ( dd and I) deem proper for family pictures that we are getting done on the weekend. I showed them a few options - now it's up to them to purchase Stopped at the mall food court for dinner then off for a bit of shopping. It was nice to hang out with them for the night. Of course they had to teasingly pick out inappropriate choices They wouldn't be my boys if they didn't tease their momma just a little.

Dd, sil, and gd with dh in town will be coming into town tonight. It will be later than originally planned, but they will get here late tonight. I have their room ready and house is full of snacks and chocolate milk that was requested by granddaughter. This grammie likes to be stocked up when gd comes to visit.

I have a decision to make. I have been researching flights for our November trip and may have found a good one.

OOOO...I would agree that, the flight is a very late one. For us - it is not unusual to have late flights - as we have to take a milk run sometimes to get flights.

We have a lot of bears in our area. We live in N, Mn. with National Forests all around us. We have lots of woods and non populated areas. There are many places for bears to live around us.

When our family had the lake lot - there were bears. Just smaller back bears. We would see their scat in the mornings sometimes in the yard or on the road. But it was usually pretty noisy during the day to keep them away.

But, middle of the week again and longest day is just around the corner....we haven`t had any summer yet at all, barely had a spring!!!

Yes!!! I'm loving the long days. I had our cameras catch someone walking last night just before midnight - and it was still dusk out. We only get a few hours of dark at this time of year. When dh gets up now at 4 AM (because he's a pyscho and goes into work extremely early) it's starting to rise already.

Super slow day today.

I said that Tuesday - and WHAM - Wednesday was a complete sh!t show in the unit that day. I jinxed us

It’s another warm day in the south.

Enjoy the warmth!!!! It's still unseasonable cool here. Yesterday was nice - but the rain is coming again today.

I made some dauphinoise potatoes for tonight and some spring greens cooked in butter....yep, lots of butter, perfect with rare steaks, fillet for me and a rather huge sirloin for Tom, enjoyed a large glass of Malbec too which is always nice. Perfect meal, it was gorgeous.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds fantastic!

Has been a beautiful night. Walked down to the gelato place, and their mint chocolate chip is so refreshing.

Sounds like a great way to spend an evening

Pumpkin is going to have a real plethora of sports fans in her neck of the woods.

Yup!!! Son-in-law was talking about going to see some of that! He's a huge NFL fan ( bears ).

I made bracelet’s for everyone. Here are a few I made. The colors are not well captured on the camera, but they are vibrant. I hope everyone likes them.

Those are great!!!

Well, I should go do a few tasks. I don't want to jinx our day again - so I will find things to do in our downtime today - maybe even a little trip planning. Trying to figure out which days we want to do universal - and one night at HHN. But I think it would be better to actually go to the park before attending HNN - so we all know our way around the parks. It will be first time for our ds's.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[keishashadow]

New ‘do & glasses came in today.do think the headaches I’ve been having everyday in the afternoon are a result of all the squinting I’ve been doing for long vision. No idea how to use filters, pretend I took off a a decade or so lol. Showing black but, more of a blue.

Had cream cheese & lots of leftover luncheon meats to use up before we take off on Sunday, came up with a stuffed Italian sort of chicken breast off the cuff. Just seasoned sort for those here who like basic grub

Added garlic & parsley with some seasonings to the cream cheese. Layered on Pepperchinis, fresh basil, pepperoni, prosciutto & provolone. Added some chicken broth to pan, then olive oil & some Italian bread crumb to top. popped in oven, curious to see how it comes out. Good thing not that picky lol.

Yup, lavender is gorgeous we have a fair amount in our garden and around this whole area...

I stopped at two garden stores when out today, neither carry. Need to remember to look online

Ordered sheet cake with all the dad’s names on it.

Nice, cute touch. I bought a box mix of brownies, doctored it up and it’s cooling as i type. In a pinch, does the trick.

I made bracelet’s for everyone. Here are a few I made. The colors are not well captured on the camera, but they are vibrant. I hope everyone likes them.

Oh, those came out really nice. I like the charms, fancee!

Good morning

The original, soon to be duplicated yet again with Ms Lohan as I understand it.

Even though we lost - he had a great time and loved the experience of being there on such a big game.

Good for him to have a nice boys’ night out. From decades of watching my baseball team, the Pirates, manage to be out of the running before the first month has been played, have learned to appreciate the game, as a whole.

That said, good luck!

Of course they had to teasingly pick out inappropriate choices

Naturally, if they didn’t you’d be disappointed for their lack of creativity lol

I have their room ready and house is full of snacks and chocolate milk that was requested by granddaughter. This grammie likes to be stocked up when gd comes to visit

Best time of year is when they are underfoot!

 

[Lynne G]

Love your glasses, Keisha. Glad to hear GD and her dad having fun here. Good thing snow cloud cover, as oh so humid feeling today, and 90 said the store’s outside thermometer as we drove by it, around 3 this afternoon. Safe travels to them for your DS’s trip.

Aw, those bracelets look great, Robo. Nice to have family for Father’s Day this weekend.

My youngest DB is moving, and DH was tasked with making a dump, well maybe several, at the resale place up the street from us. DH just recruited little one to go with him. Glad, as I’m relaxing.

Dropped off my bills at the post office, then bank stop, then little one wanted to go to that huge mall. I thought why not, as oh so muggy outside. AC place, oh yes. Had a nice burger and fries lunch with her, then walked around and bought nothing else. Did a Target stop on the way home, and great day we have had so far.

Thinking of grilling out for dinner, as did a Costco run last night. Steaks and corn on grill? Yay!

And alarm off, and yay! Weekend loading…..

Sounds like a lovely weekend planned Pumpkin, nothing nicer than a family picture!

Yes, we have very similar light patterns and especially with no real astronomical darkness this time of year, very different from other parts of the world.

We warmed up a little today, but not by much.....better than what we had though!!

Have a lovely time this weekend.

Lovely picture Janet and that shorter length really suits you, not everyone can get away with it. I showed your picture earlier to Tom who also deemed it lovely!!! Glasses suit you too!

You reminded me I never posted a picture when I got 6" cut off my hair 6 weeks ago....but not today, you definitely deserve to shine!! Seems we are trend setters Janet .......and now we are hair twins....almost!!!


Food sounds good and this trip has come around quickly!!






It`s funny, I mentioned yesterday we were planning to grill steaks outside on the grill.....

We`ve had an alright day, got our new fridge freezer, no the most exciting of purchases, but it`s nice enough and larger than we thought!

Didn`t get out a walk in the end as we had a heavy downpour, but it`s getting warmer at least.

I was reminded today of how lucky I am to have so many lovely friends in real life and people we`ve met from the Dis...very lucky indeed. But as always sometimes there`s an idiot or two that sneak in somehow and try to mimic and copy certain things in one`s life whether it`s phrases, sayings, habits or lifestyle. Very sad, maybe one day they`ll see how silly they look, whilst failing badly of course.....you know who you are, time to stop.

Yes, friends are wonderful, very supportive and I appreciate each and every one of them. I love people who are original and have their own thoughts and ideas, as we all should.

I`ve heard alligator rearing, naked sky diving and maybe getting purple streaks through my newly short shoulder length hair is going to be all the rage. Any takers to do the same????

Have a lovely Friday evening ladies

Forgot the flower picture......

No idea what it is, but it`s gorgeous!!

Forgot the flower picture......

No idea what it is, but it`s gorgeous!!

English rose, cabbage rose, a Graham Thomas rose. That color should make it easier to narrow, also being double.
I've given away most of my roses but at one time we had over 60. A lot of work with the other plants and flowers.

 

[keishashadow]

That’s a purty posie! Only roses I have left are red climbing tea roses my Mom favored I planted on a section of fence as bit of a site barrier.

They’ve been coming up for 30 years, evidently hardy as I don’t have much of a green thumb

Thank you drenalin`junkie.....I heard cabbage rose but our gardener is away on his holidays for three weeks so I have no clue other than to think it`s pretty!! I did ask if he can plant us some white roses which are my favourite flower ever, but so far we don`t have any other roses. Or maybe we do and I haven`t recognised them!!

I might refer to you as dj, can`t just call you junkie as that is a dreadful single name, highly offensive word here, but put together with drenalin and it makes sense!!!

I love roses, but yes, I am a hopeless gardener generally so I have little input on ours. We do have one that appeared weirdly after my friend passed away, actually can`t believe that will 8 years this month, where did that time go!!! Yes, two roses appeared at an area she did like and they come back each year now, only two of them and they come back a slightly different colour every year too.

Hopefully yours will keep going too, sounds like it will after 30 years.

You leave tomorrow!!!! Fantastic, can`t wait to hear about it, not that I`m wishing your trip away of course lol.....you`ll have a blast!






Mild during the night, windows open and Tom was laughing as we heard the foxes and I said to Tom, that sounds like a bear, even in the dark I could see his incredulous look at such a silly comment.....lol....I`m blaming Janet and Ruth for that thought....foxes are so much nicer to come across.

Off to change our tv....again!!! Thank goodness they are good at just taking them back, going to change brands this time, most of our tv`s are Sony, but this one has been a dud. Then want to get back hom for 10am to watch Trooping the Colour where our lovely Princess Catherine is going to make an appearance, God bless her.

Pomp and ceremony are something we Brits do amazingly well.

So fairly early breakfast for a Saturday as we want to be out by 8.30 as we want to be there for store opening to get back. Bacon for sure. And change of plan for tonight, not going out to dinner with Kyle, that`s going to be next Saturday now, so still to decide what we`ll do now.

I told Tom we`re taking a week off of volunteering next week, he has been doing far too much and they have some extra volunteers next week, so let others do their bit. Although I know if they call, he`ll go, but time for a break and have a relaxing week.

Time for tea.....and Happy Saturday

Good Saturday morning everyone











Hope everyone is enjoying their hot beverage of choice this good Saturday morning.

Went out with ds's last night to help find them shirts that we ( dd and I) deem proper for family pictures that we are getting done on the weekend. I showed them a few options - now it's up to them to purchase Stopped at the mall food court for dinner then off for a bit of shopping. It was nice to hang out with them for the night. Of course they had to teasingly pick out inappropriate choices They wouldn't be my boys if they didn't tease their momma just a little.

Sounds like you had a nice time at the Mall with your sons.

Dd, sil, and gd with dh in town will be coming into town tonight. It will be later than originally planned, but they will get here late tonight. I have their room ready and house is full of snacks and chocolate milk that was requested by granddaughter. This grammie likes to be stocked up when gd comes to visit.

Have a wonderful time with your little granddaughter. You are a good grammie.

They are lovely Robbie, and a nice little gift too. You`ll get to see the new Epic Preview and the new drone show, it all sounds amazing!!

Thank you Carole. I’am looking forward to looking around the Preview store and having a stroll through Dreamworks Land.

Hope you have a lovely party tomorrow!

Thank you.

Forgot the flower picture......

No idea what it is, but it`s gorgeous!!

Beautiful picture of the flowers.

Then want to get back hom for 10am to watch Trooping the Colour where our lovely Princess Catherine is going to make an appearance, God bless her.

Enjoy watching. Princess Catherine is a classy sweet young lady.

Yes, the British are very well known for their ability to do ceremonial pageantry. I enjoy watching the different events that are celebrated around the Royal Family. There is nothing like it in the World. Very unique.


Janet hope you had a safe journey to Orlando. Enjoy your time there. Your hair-do looks very nice and your glasses look great. It is hard sometimes to find glasses that fit your style. You did good.

Mac hope your are feeling well and enjoying the heat.


I was up early this morning to get all the roasts seasoned and in the crockpots. Everyone Is arriving at 1pm.

I was looking at everyones posts from yesterday and realized I had not added the bracelets I did for the ladies in the family only the Halloween ones so I added them to the post from yesterday. I have bracelets for everyone in the family today. We have some Potter fans also in the family so needed to do their specific house bracelets.

I need to run out and pick up the cake this morning at 8 am. I made the cookies last evening so those are done. Now just to finish up the sides.

I have

Until vacation. Looking forward to a short getaway.

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.

There’s a saying, it’s not about you.

About me, if anyone is interested. I’m a lady who has three brothers and a sister, a DH who which we’ve been together for more than 30 years, and he’s now been a disabled veteran for 5 years, and I’ve reached an age, I don’t like to wear dresses or heels anymore. I also can’t believe my two kids are now in their 20’s. I’ve been an early bird all my life, and glad I married an early bird, even though it has been shown, most people are not very early risers. And I still have a working week day routine. And since I’ve also been at my work for more than 30 years, get 5 weeks vacation. And I like to use almost all of it, and I’m lucky, when I can save up to 10 days, after the use year, rather than loose that time. Some years I do have 10 days saved, some years, I have closer to it. But I do try to always save that 10, as you never know when you may need a day or more off, at the beginning of the use year. I accumulate time off, by earning time off every pay period. And glad when I started work, I could have an altered week schedule, that allows me to not work all the 10 days of the pay period. And I have some friends, who to me, now that I think about it, have similar likes and interests as me.

Back to weather news, certainly something about nothing too.

Beautifully sunny out. And yesterday, with that oh so muggy weather, we did rock and roll with flashes on my phone, warnings of lightning in the area, moderate rain falling, and flash flood watch in the early evening.

But this morning is so bright out. Weather local news guy said clear skies, with a windy, 22 mph wind, and we get a perfect day, with lower humidity, and with 81 the high. Phone weather app shows the same, and also shows the dew point is at 57 percent. So a perfectly good day to rock those sunglasses, wear suntan lotion, and shorts and a T shirt.

DH asked my agenda today. Um, lazy and maybe if little one wants, will go to the local park for a walk among the trees. DH said he’s waiting to make sure the grass is dry, and around, 10, he’ll look, and if it is, he thinks it’s not too early a time, to bother our neighbors with sound of a lawnmower. I agree, and hope the grass is dry then, as cooler time of the day. Phone app says will be 71 degrees at 10 this morning.

Good morning Robo, and hope your errands are successful, and enjoyed some coffee in your HHN mug. And woot, with that 3 day countdown.

And yep,


Super Happy Saturday to all.

Sounds like you had a nice time at the Mall with your sons.


Have a wonderful time with your little granddaughter. You are a good grammie.


Thank you Carole. I’am looking forward to looking around the Preview store and having a stroll through Dreamworks Land.


Thank you.


Beautiful picture of the flowers.


Enjoy watching. Princess Catherine is a classy sweet young lady.

Yes, the British are very well known for their ability to do ceremonial pageantry. I enjoy watching the different events that are celebrated around the Royal Family. There is nothing like it in the World. Very unique.


Janet hope you had a safe journey to Orlando. Enjoy your time there. Your hair-do looks very nice and your glasses look great. It is hard sometimes to find glasses that fit your style. You did good.

Mac hope your are feeling well and enjoying the heat.

You`ll have a blast Robbie, I`ve been sent some videos of it all and it looks amazing!!!

Yes, Catherine is adorable, absolutely love her and we were thrilled to know she was well enough to make such an important appearance today. The whole Trooping the Colour is something I`ve watched since I was young enough to remember tv, so a long time, Tom just said he was the same, something they all watched as a family.

Enjoy today, food sounds so good, but it`s the getting together with family and friends that count!!

Almost trip time too

There’s a saying, it’s not about you.

I surely hope not.

Thank you Carole !!!

You`re welcome mac.....junkie is such a derogatory term on it`s own, so yes, DJ is much better, and capitalised is even better

How`s that heat doing now???? Can you share please??? We have rain.....again....lol....





Up far too early as is usual for us, but got our tv changed although the one we want wasn`t in stock, so we get it Wednesday, moved one of the other spare tv`s through to the sitting room, it feels tiny at 37" lol. It looks lost in that corner, I think we`ll need to get a bigger one or just move through to where we watch movies, that tv is fitted in to a huge unit so we can`t move that. Not that I watch that much tv, but it is small in comparison to what was there.

Got back for Trooping the Colour, my friend Felicity came round and watched it with us, had a nice cuppa, made her some lunch and she left just as the rain came on, she was heading to go out horse riding, I`m thinking she might have changed her mind.

I think sleeping beauty is snoozing, so I`ll stay through here for now, with the weather we decided to stay in tonight, going to get some Indian takeout I think, out for lunch tomorrow with Kyle for Father`s Day too, so won`t need dinner tomorrow night.

He has the half marathon to run first, so we`ll meet him at his place afterwards then go out to eat.

Think snuggling down is the order of the day, have some emails to write too, need to catch up with some lovely ladies!!!!

And maybe a pot of tea or two this afternoon till it`s time for wine!!!! Yup, love a Saturday afternoon relaxing and being lazy with my mister.....perfect!!!

 

[drenalin'junkie]

Thank you drenalin`junkie.....I heard cabbage rose but our gardener is away on his holidays for three weeks so I have no clue other than to think it`s pretty!! I did ask if he can plant us some white roses which are my favourite flower ever, but so far we don`t have any other roses. Or maybe we do and I haven`t recognised them!!

I might refer to you as dj, can`t just call you junkie as that is a dreadful single name, highly offensive word here, but put together with drenalin and it makes sense!!!




I love roses, but yes, I am a hopeless gardener generally so I have little input on ours. We do have one that appeared weirdly after my friend passed away, actually can`t believe that will 8 years this month, where did that time go!!! Yes, two roses appeared at an area she did like and they come back each year now, only two of them and they come back a slightly different colour every year too.

Hopefully yours will keep going too, sounds like it will after 30 years.

You leave tomorrow!!!! Fantastic, can`t wait to hear about it, not that I`m wishing your trip away of course lol.....you`ll have a blast!






Mild during the night, windows open and Tom was laughing as we heard the foxes and I said to Tom, that sounds like a bear, even in the dark I could see his incredulous look at such a silly comment.....lol....I`m blaming Janet and Ruth for that thought....foxes are so much nicer to come across.

Off to change our tv....again!!! Thank goodness they are good at just taking them back, going to change brands this time, most of our tv`s are Sony, but this one has been a dud. Then want to get back hom for 10am to watch Trooping the Colour where our lovely Princess Catherine is going to make an appearance, God bless her.

Pomp and ceremony are something we Brits do amazingly well.

So fairly early breakfast for a Saturday as we want to be out by 8.30 as we want to be there for store opening to get back. Bacon for sure. And change of plan for tonight, not going out to dinner with Kyle, that`s going to be next Saturday now, so still to decide what we`ll do now.

I told Tom we`re taking a week off of volunteering next week, he has been doing far too much and they have some extra volunteers next week, so let others do their bit. Although I know if they call, he`ll go, but time for a break and have a relaxing week.

Time for tea.....and Happy Saturday

My name is Tony but as I'm in recovery for a long time, junkie is almost an honorific. DJ does have a nice sound to it.
