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

[Lynne G]

Enjoy your woods walk, Schumi. Nice weather certainly makes you want to enjoy outside. And yeah, masks here have really been mandatory for awhile. Now stores are posting masks required.

And woot!


Ah yes, the marching off the days of the week, to that ever loving weekend for most.

And Tuesday, to all the homies:

Yep, the day if the week, while Schumi is eating lush sounding lamb, Mac is doing her Taco Bell run. Yay, Taco Tuesday.

We get to continue this heat wave. Beautiful bright sunny start. And another day filled with sun, 92 the high. Ah, and a bit cooler too, only 70’s out this early morning. Was in the 80’s yesterday. That’s because of the high weather system from the West. Tomorrow, heat wave continues, but with Florida air. Yep, that cloud with a lightning bolt is showing tomorrow. Heat wave continued though, a degree higher is the high on Wednesday. Summer, loving it.

And Real, hope you find others that will pay well. Around here, old games and old tools are the first to go. Guess because they are easy to sell to a broad range that will pay very good prices to the dealers.

Ack, SW is at it again. Changes in flights. Now 10 more minutes later to arrive, but 2 more hours later to leave. Guess I should be happy to get 2 more hours later, when I should have had 7more later when I first booked. But there must be demand, as the return was a new little bit later, last direct instead of the noon one, and no one but me wanted to leave at the crack of dawn.

I keep hoping the original flight times are the final changes.

Sigh.

 

[schumigirl]

Not too bad a change Lynne......I`ve seen some folks lose almost a full day at times.....it`s still an early flight you`re on isn`t it?



It has been such a lovely day here..........but sadly didn`t see any deer. I took some pictures where I thought I saw a couple, but when I looked there was nothing there....think we spent about an hour and a half wandering round.......and strangely never saw one squirrel. There are usually many of them roaming around......

Couple of pictures from our wander this morning......quality could be better as they`re from a phone not a real camera.....we could wander round here for hours.

Then back home for lunch and bring laundry in as it`s dry as a bone.......

Making teriyaki chicken skewers, with a few little pork and honey sausages for dinner tonight......well, Tom will cook them....I`ll make up everything else......

 

[Lynne G]

Nice pictures, Schumi. Weather looks quite good. And yes, still an early flight. 45 minutes later than first scheduled, but I am not that bothered with that later arriving flight. Means I get some more sleep. I should be checking in the hotel around 10:30am or so, depending if I get an on time flight, or hopefully earlier arrival that expected, how fast I get my bag, and whether I stop for food. I usually don’t take that long getting my rental car. I am still sorry to not say hello to ya this September. But totally understandable. We did cancel our early January cruise. With older one having asthma, I am not taking any chances. Plus, who knows when cruising returns, what it will look like. We did not want to be the first ones to experience that. We had booked over 18 months ago, so kinda sad about now having no cruise countdown. But we are healthy, and we will cruise again, when ready. And happily, I do have a Fall countdown that I am thinking will be a go.

Morning all! Been a while since I popped in...miss this group! Just been busy with keeping the kids busy, trying to prep for the beginning if the school ...whatever that is going to look like.

And Hope just turned 1 on Friday!!! My last baby is now a toddler !!!

I will try and post a photo later....every time I try to do it it goes sideways.

Catch you later!

 

[Lynne G]

Aww Kfish, young kids keep you very busy. And back to school is in earnest, even if mostly still via online. And a Big Happy 1st Birthday to Hope. Sweet she is now 1 year’s old.

 

[macraven]

for Miss Hope!

This year has gone by quickly
Can remember when she was born

Sigh.

When I booked with SW, a few times they would change my flight and I never liked the new change.
But it was better than driving to my destination.

Maybe they will have another change before you leave and it will have better flight times for you!

I got a change notice from my airline today but it was minor.
Change of aircraft so new seat assigned.

Like you said, maybe you’ll get another flight change for returning home and it be the original time you first booked.

Thank you! Yes they do keep me busy! I'm actually in an online class right now trying to get some more tools to prepare for whatever September will throw at us. Even though NY numbers have improved greatly, my opinion is we should not be providing live, in person instruction. I hate saying that because I want to go back as well as the kids....but it is just too much risk.

for Miss Hope!

I can remember too....still have those pesky pounds and stretch marks to prove it!

 

[Realfoodfans]

@KStarfish82 congratulations on Hope’s 1st Birthday - lovely name too!

@schumigirl isn’t it amazing how the wildlife has been moving closer - the mountain goats into Llandudno were amazing and nearer to us too the deer are coming right to the garden fences that back on to the fields.

Chicken fried rice tonight and as usual ice cream!

 

[KStarfish82]

The Birthday girl!

 

[Lynne G]

What a sweet looking little Hope.

 

[macraven]

Hope is cute as a button and has a lot of hair!

 

[KStarfish82]

What a sweet looking little Hope.

Thank you!

Hope is cute as a button and has a lot of hair!

Thank you and yes she does! Most hair out of the crew at that age. And I haven't the foggiest clue how to tame it! I have been a boy mom for so long and I am certainly not the "girly type"....my hair is naturally curly but I just tie it back. Can't really do that with a baby. Now I need to look into getting her ears pierced.

 

[Charade67]

Late night check in. I really should be sleeping.

Someone forgot to leave the porch light on....

Oops. Was it my turn to do that?

I’ve been looking at booking a couple of nights away with hubs but so many restrictions and I am still feeling I don’t want to be put in a position I might find uncomfortable having been shielding for so long - I know others are feeling the same. Will see how it goes on Friday with our first meal out.

I hope you are able to find something you are comfortable with,

Charade......it`s nice having a countdown......but what have they done to that castle......the blue looks like lego!!! It was far nicer the way it was before......the grey was much nicer......guess it`s a matter of personal taste, but not for me......you`ll be able to plan soon I imagine. You must have lots of ideas what you will want to do and where to stay.....

I love the new look. It kind of matches the castle at Disneyland. SO much better than what they did for the 25th anniversary. We've booked a hotel, but that's about all we can do right now.

We get to continue this heat wave. Beautiful bright sunny start. And another day filled with sun, 92 the high. Ah, and a bit cooler too, only 70’s out this early morning. Was in the 80’s yesterday.

Heat wave continued though, a degree higher is the high on Wednesday. Summer, loving it.

I am already ready for fall. I hate this heat. Storms keep threatening, but so far we haven't gotten much rain.

It has been such a lovely day here..........but sadly didn`t see any deer. I took some pictures where I thought I saw a couple, but when I looked there was nothing there....think we spent about an hour and a half wandering round.......and strangely never saw one squirrel.

Nice pictures. It looks very relaxing.

And Hope just turned 1 on Friday!!! My last baby is now a toddler !!!

Happy birthday. She is adorable. Love the curls.

Nothing much to post today. Dh finally got his eye appointment. B and I have our on Thursday. I can't wait to get new glasses.


I will leave the light on.

And just in case there is a power outage 🕯

 

[macraven]

Knew I could count on charade to leave the light on for the after midnight homies!

I have not ventured out of my house much the shutdown in March.
Basically only out for medical appointments and Walgreens drive thru

But did go to Publix for a few items and it seemed like being on a vacation
Lol

They have joined the movement and require face coverings.
Felt like a kid in a candy shop... lots of things to look at in the store.

I spent more time in their bakery section and of course spent more $$ getting a few of this and that.
Their bread rolls are better than sex.
And can’t forget their cakes and pies and ready made sandwiches on baguettes

too bad they do not have a wine sampling sections
This more fun than watching paint dry

we Should set a date for next year and hang out at there

 

[Realfoodfans]

@Charade67 thank you for the light I think as we begin to venture out more it will get easier. We have already booked three nights at the end of the month to take the grandchildren self catering near the coast. That will be a good way to see how we feel.

@macraven I have been the same with going out. I have a bowel disease that leaves me more vulnerable if I catch anything so being very careful.

My SIL is usually out all the time - she is Malaysian and a Buddhist and usually cooks and volunteers for the monks, meets her old nursing friends, loves to shop etc but she is over 70 and has health issues she’s become frightened of venturing out. She has been here a few times now trying to help her feel safe. I think a few will feel like that.

Cool morning here so planning some indoor activities with the grandchildren. Cool or not we are going to another National Trust property tomorrow.

Grocery shopping home delivery will be the most excitement of today!

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning, Real. Hey, anything that arrives at your door that includes food, is exciting. I have done it a few times, and nice to have to only drag the box in, rather than carry lots of bags from the car.

Ah, and ooh, who do we see?


Yay! Camel reminder.

Hump Day, indeed, a Wednesday it is. Why homies, get over this hump of a day, and woot, woot, Friday will be here before ya know it.

Guess Schumi must be busy, but hope she had a perfect cup of tea, like me.

And Real, nice to have eye doctor appointments. So far, our eye doctor is still not taking appointments. Hoping very soon, as yes, will be nice to have new.

With that, no excitement here either. Weekday work routine day.

And lest we not talk about the weather. I like how my weather guy describes the weather. Word of the day, Oppressive. As in, oppressive heat, will feel like over 100 degrees, when actual temp high is 96. And not only should we feel safe healthy wise, but high winds and thunderstorms will arrive later in the day. So here comes our totally, very good odds of winning that loosing rain toss of the dice. So Charade, we most likely will see rain falling today, including a lightning light show too.

That ever loving time for more tea. And a bowl of cereal. Yeah, nothing of interest in my breakfast either.

Wonderful Wednesday to all the homies! Stay dry, be healthy, find a safe place, and pull that mask down, need to stay hydrated. It’s going to be that ever so sweaty Summer day, including a great chance of seeing seasonal thunderstorms. Yay!

I only had wine twice in my life so I quote enjoyed it,

I love Publix too! Anytime I’m down south I try to stop there if I can. I love their bakery and fresh subs they make too! Count me in for the Publix party!

 

[macraven]

Publix is a short drive from my house.
Since I moved here, I know how the aisles are set up so when I do a stop at Publix in Orlando, it’s a quick run in to get the items I want.

Hump day
This used to mean it was closer to the weekend when I worked.

Now everyday is a weekend for me.
