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

Amazing pics @Lynne G! Had a good day with Mac, but we ended up not really spending a lot of time in the parks today. Plans changed. However, coming again tomorrow and having more of a plan on rides starting on the Universal side first thing in the morning.

@keishashadow loving the pics as well! The ride looks cute. Glad you were able to do Epcot as well.

@DisneyLifePapioNe those are looking good!

@schumigirl quiet nights are always good! Just get to chill and relax.

I'm going to be hitting the hay now since I got to wake up early again. Night homies!

Safe travel this morning again and have fun........






Very quiet here this morning.....might be the calm before the storm if weather forecasters are to be believed.

Still looking good for our cottage stay next week......weather might not be the best, but as long as restaurants are open we`ll be fine......will need to get a suitcase down this weekend from the attic.....

Thinking scrambeld egg whites this morning and maybe bacon........

Dinner is lasagne for us.......no idea what we`re doing today, I`m sure we`ll nip out for something or other......

And it`s Friday......still always a good feeling despite being a lady of leisure.......::yes::

Good Friday morning Sans family :wave2:

Bello from sunny Orlando.

Have a lovely day Robo.....hope you`re having a super duper trip......weather sounds so good!



It's Friday :flower:Hurray!

Heading downtown to see my DD today and take her out to lunch!
Not sure where we will end up eating.... but many delicious places to choose from!

Lovely way to spend a Friday, I`m sure it`ll be delicious........isn`t her birthday coming up......soon-ish......I think.....lol......please don`t tell me it`s in March and I`m thinking of someone else......it has been known!!!!





So quiet here today.......I do love when it`s so still and all you can hear is the sea.......calm before the storm for sure. Just a very grey day autumn day. We have bifold doors at the back of our home in the kitchen/seating area and I have the doors open as it`s not too cold. I do think we annoyed a fox who was roaming around strangely.......he looked at us as if to say what are you doing there......he appeared from the trees very suspiciously. Time to close them though as that evening chill is setting in. Tom is snoozing along one of the sofa`s so time to waken him up too......closing the doors will do that.

Made up some garlic bread to go with lasagne.....well, I won`t eat it, but someone else loves it........he may end up in one of the spare rooms if it`s strong later.......

And made up four mini pavlovas.....meringue is nice and gooey in the middle just the way we like it.....

Trying a new wine tonight.........had a rumble through to find something different and liked the look of one someone gave us a while back........should be nice.......hopefully.

Then another quiet night in front of the tv........

You are correct......her birthday is less than 3 weeks away! 🍰
She got her main bday gift early. An iphone 11 Pro Max.
Have a few other smaller gifts to give on her actual birthday.

Happy Friday everyone. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Dh and I tried a new seafood restaurant. It was good, but not outstanding.

Nothing exciting going on here. I had a doctor appointment this morning then picked up some Chipotle for lunch. I haven't eaten there in several years. I wonder if I looked like I might be a messy eater. They gave me 13 napkins with my order. On the way home I did a double take. Passed a guy on a motorcycle who was wearing a helmet that looked like a chicken head. Weird, but this is 2020 so I shouldn't be surprised.

sample of adapted rides here & some shots of the new railroad ride.Rode it twice very cute
Do you think it's a worthy replacement of The Great Movie Ride? That was one of my favorite rides at the studios. All 3 of us bought Great Movie Ride T-shirts when it closed.

Had another beautiful day here.....sun has been shining and we have a new broadband router.....no more interrupted internet! Always important.
Not only important, but essential in my house. Dh does most of his grading from home.

Chicken on the grill and just relaxing today.
Looks good.

Sun is shining sky is blue with a few clouds. It’s says it’s 66 right now.
Sounds like the start to a beautiful day.

Currently 73 and sunny here. I suppose I should start house cleaning. Ugh!
 
As all good things is at an end, had a wonderful time, even without HHN. I very much enjoyed spending time with Mac, Robo, Keisha, DisneyLife, Dix, Patty, and Elsa.

Checked out, after a few hours of parks fun, now waiting at the airport. 12 minutes drive, from the hotel, no traffic nor any lines through security. Looks like about the same as when I came, a pretty full fight, but not full. And you know there isn’t many, as they keep advertising the purchase of a lower A number. Nope, I’m a good enough A, and free.

Does look like a beautiful blue sky. Kids said 63 the high at home. No matter, when I got to the airport, changed to pants, and have a lightweight jacket in my backpack. I was glad the Orlando weather cooled down some. The beginning of the week was some nice lightning storms and very humid in the 90’s. Yesterday and today, the mid 60’s temp in the early morning was refreshing.

So, after a few rides and some last minute shopping, see ya later, Universal.

Back to routine soon enough, and since next Monday is a holiday one, certainly need a shorter week, so have taken a no work Friday this week, and bonus longer weekend. Yay!

Glad you had such a good time Lynne!

We almost overstayed our welcome at the restaurant - 5 hours was probably the longest lunch I’ve ever had! So lovely to have that time with our friends - I do miss her since she moved away but we normally get to spend more time together.

We got some jobs done this morning - and children away for the weekend and Em out with a friend so we returned to a quiet house and are feet up watching a movie now - going out seems to make us both so tired these days!

Hope everyone is heading into a good wee

Sorry restaurant you chose wasn`t the best.....I hate when a special occasion isn`t as special as it should have been......

I think internet is essential to most people today as many work from home all day.....hope you got your housework done.......

Safe journey home Lynne.....glad you had such a good trip.





Oh we are so full from the lasagne......it was delicious. I made it slightly different and added diced up chorizo to the meat and sauce.....lovely.

Looking forward to picking up new boots tomorrow......it`s supposed to be heavy rain all day, but it`ll be a quick in and out the store.

Feet up with a large red wine.........🍷
 
I haven’t been reading the Dis very often since I have been here but will catchup on the sans tonight.

Had a lovely time with disxuni!
Time flew by quickly with her.

I don’t leave until next Tuesday to return home and will most likely do the parks Monday to catch some rides I missed

Not planning to be in the parks on the weekend unless it is before noon.

Nice to see many have had a great vacation!

Lynne, thanks for all the pictures you shared here.
All of them are eye catching.
 
Father in Law (hubs step dad) diagnosed with covid over weekend-was in hospital over night but home now. When they went to family doc on Thurs with symptoms the idiot doc refused to do a covid test as it is "overblown". "overblown" or not still do your duty! They were at our house week ago friday, so we are all in quarantine-he started feeling bad a week ago Saturday. Thankfully he is in terrific shape for 77. Mother in law to get tested
Yikes hope it works out well for them
Also @keishashadow those are probably the best photos I've seen of the inside of the HHN tribute store. 😲
Thank!
Still looking good for our cottage stay next week......weather might not be the best, but as long as restaurants are open we`ll be fine......will need to get a suitcase down this weekend from the attic.....
Yea!

Replacement? No way! I really miss that ride. This is opposite end of spectrum. Hi tech but if u look can see they overlaid some of the original ride /buildings. It appears to be very popular, loooong lines
Passed a guy on a motorcycle who was wearing a helmet that looked like a chicken head. Weird, but this is 2020 so I shouldn't be surprised.
That pretty much sums up 2020 lol

great meal at art smiths homecoming yesterday. Split the 1981 dinner salad and the airline fried chicken & donuts, nom

merry Xmas to me. You’re either a fan or not, I’m all in especially when Haunted Mansion themed. DH looked them all for best pattern placement. May keep him

Glad you had another lovey day with Disxuni.......yep, will be busy again this weekend.....occupancy is high, with limits of course.

Love your pictures Keisha.......and yes, the purse too.....and your lovely husband is definitely a keeper......I do like Haunted Mansion themed merchandise......have some tea towels with the HM theme on it.......

Food looks so nice, that was one of the places we considered when we visited DTD last year.

Have a great day today.........sounds fun :thumbsup2


Only a strong man would allow showing himself holding a purse..

I too have a husband who will happily wander around holding my handbag.......some won`t though.....





Awoke to rain this morning....it`s not heavy as it was forecast, but it`ll come. Looks like it`s all over the UK looking at the map.

Bacon was lush.......

Started reading a book called The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer........a few of us from the book group have decided to do it. Most don`t want to which is fine...and starting this book I can see why. I did try to read it years ago when I was doing my degree in English Literature, but I think I gave up and went back to Shakespeare........will enjoy it more this time I think. It`ll keep me out of mischief for a while.....and plan to read some next week if we have rainy days where we`re going.

Laundry, bit of cleaning and picking up new boots day........hope they fit!

Have a wonderful Saturday..........​
 
Great photographs Keisha - food looks yum and the bag too. Yes Kev is another who will happily hold bags and be a patient shopper - took a while for me to get used to that. Also with DIL’s assistance he buys me beautiful bags and purses as gifts. Don’t suppose that will be as easy now with her not flying to the states.

Mac it sounds like you are having a great time too.

I love The Canterbury Tales @schumigirl though I know not for everyone - I have a very old leather bound copy among the much reduced library that I kept when we moved.

Will not be cooking or eating too much today as still full from yesterday and we are meeting DS and DIL at the Picturedrome for brunch tomorrow. However apple crumble will be made as the apples are already stewed and ready.

Dry here at the moment though it rained overnight and forecast is for more rain later. A stroll with Louie at some point.

Enjoy your Saturday everyone
 
Older one came home around midnight last night, as was visiting friend. Remarked how clear the night was, and so bright from the moon. Took a peek, yep. 42 says the thermometer this morning, as still clear out today. Will be a full day of sun, with 64 the high. How nice is that to start the weekend?

Sorry a rainy Saturday for Schumi and Julie.

Keisha, may try that restaurant some day. Funny, little one said she was sad the movie ride is no more. Yeah, new rides tend to bring the crowds. Maybe F&F in the Studios did to start, but not a drawl for most now. Guess as with all new rides, will see if it is one people want to always ride. Does look cute though, the new Mickey and Minnie railroad ride.


Ah, tea for me. Not through that not so good in room coffee maker. Even though I use water from a bottle, that coffee does not taste as good as my machine at home, when I want coffee. I so enjoy a cup of breakfast tea in the morning. Coffee maybe later in the day or evening. I tend to stick with tea, when I can.

And a good sleep in my own bed is always refreshing. Even though my flight is not long, we did circle for some time before landing, it was long enough I was ready to just land. And the Friday night traffic was thick, and took almost twice as long to get home. But it included a detour to the Chinese restaurant we always do takeout from. Timed it just right, as we called on the road, and was still so hot on my lap, as no line to pick up. We were all hungry, and ordered a large won ton soup, as knew some would be left over. Breakfast for me. And just as good as last night.

Hehe, DH asked if I had work on Monday. Yeah, routine starts back again then, as why I like to return on a Friday, so have a weekend to recover.

And yep,my DH lets me get the purse I want, and he also has no problem holding mine.

With that, have a super sized Saturday.

And Mac, yep the crowds will pick up for the weekend. Good idea to limit park time then. Glad you had fun with Dix yesterday. Was nice to catch up with you this trip. I like staying for a little longer, as nice to be able to stop and take a picture, or pose for one. Plus, I like the photo deal includes all the ride pictures too. Some ride pics taken are a hoot.

Ah, the need to toss the empty soup container in the trash, and have that second cup of tea. Later homies. Be good, it’s a spooky month. Yay, and the second month we get a holiday in it. The best time of the year is September to February. Each of those months in that span, has at least one holiday in it. Many a long weekend kind. Big WOOT. Yeah, but then the dry stretch of no holiday until the end of May. That’s when routine seems to go on forever.

But hey, the stores all have their Christmas stuff out now, with just some Halloween stuff left, and even lesser Thanksgiving stuff out. The holidays are a coming. And that deserves a Woot too.

Good Morning homies. 😊
 
Yes it was nice to spend time with you Lynne!

Waiting at island for 20 minutes now as I used an AE check for my breakfast

They just told they don’t give cash back down stairs at islands on AE checks

So server has gone to the lobby front desk to get change.
Cash back is $39 and already gave her a cash tip so here I still wait.

Breakfast was very good and done perfect

So if you any of you plan to use AE checks, be prepared for a wait.
 
Well that stinks Mac. I hope she came back with your money quickly after posting. Happy you had a good breakfast there.
