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

[Lynne G]

Yeah, Keisha, and weather says will be a cool and very wet Spring. But the South will be warmer than normal. Makes me want to take that Spring trip, but not sure, as even though SW says good prices, not in my market. And not sure we are ready to travel anywhere until school is over. At least that means beginning of May. I will keep looking at flights though. And ready to book my Fall flights.

Yes, Julie, I hope we do go to NYC. We always enjoy our short trips, and only about 2 hours total train ride times from home. We have to switch in the City, from local train to the main line train that goes along the NE corridor. Good thing is, the local train station is inside the main train station, so an easy walk inside from the local train platform to the main train station to wait and board again. As many are not traveling via train, got a very good price on the round trip main train.

Hmm, dinner is what? Maybe chicken fingers and fries. Easy meal, yes. Maybe will cook some bacon, so can make sandwiches out of that chicken with bacon strips. Hmmm. Oh, and was a wonderful refreshing lunch time walk. And yeah, a cooler and rainy weekend is our predicted weather. I’ll take any Spring day like today, though a bit warmer even.

Charade, sending good thoughts your mom does well with her surgery.

Paris, yum, I’d swing by for some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Nice DD is coming home today. Yep, a no cook dinner, nice. Enjoy your meal out with DD.

Lol forgot that one. Were u big on RHPS too in college?

Do you find them standing, staring into it aka watching tv? That drives me nuts

Not even the black knight bridge bit?

Hehe Maybe a short 3or 4day out of cape Canaveral or Tampa would be good way to ‘get your feet wet’

Tom cat

lol....he`s never mentioned it to me.....my older brothers as I said loved it......my dad wouldn`t let them watch it on the tv in the sitting room, so they had to watch it on the portables upstairs.......would maybe even have been in black and white then.....colour tv downstairs.

Yes, that does sound tempting......we`ll fit it in after we visit Vegas with you and your mister.......

Barney is a snuggler! He'd enjoy the company!


All good thoughts heading to your mom!


Hatley was drawn out of a hat, literally! We could not agree upon a name, so we all submitted 2 choices to the hat.
Hatley is the name of the town where she was born......and one of my submissions!! I also wanted Pearl.


It's always nice to get a project completed...hope yours goes smoothly!
I need to get our painter back to our house. We paused before Christmas, and its time to resume that project again.


We had a powder blue and a baby pink bathroom when I was a kid! Right down to the fuzzy rugs and toilet seat covers!

I have a joke with a friend who likes to go to spin class at 4:30am, and always tries to get me to go with her......I only see one 4:30 per day, and it's not that one, lol!!!
Never been an early bird. I bet you can get lots accomplished before the family wakes!


Breakfast sounded good! I'm a big fan of omeletes!


Great Thursday meme!
Sounds like your kids are having great trip!!




DD is on her way home for a visit! I'm baking chocolate chip cookies as a surprise for her right now.
All 3 of us are going out for sushi tonight at our favorite place. No cooking for me, which is a nice break!

I do love a snuggly dog! And good luck with the decorator....ours aren`t allowed in yet.....when you hear how some bathrooms were years ago, you have to laugh at who decided to put those colours together. One of my aunts had mustard, tangerine and turquoise in one bathroom! Made your head swirl....and yes the fluffy mat and seat covers.......lol......

Yay for your dd being home......I do love the sound of that sushi place you go to....you`ll have a blast I`m sure and enjoy that time with her. No cooking is nice too.......

was threatened by hospital if the ex & I couldn’t agree on a name Before I was discharged, the middle DS would be named ‘baby X’ on birth certificate. No surprised
divorced 2years later

lol.......

Oh the boy is doing Orion Nebula tonight......will pass it on when it`s ready....





Yes, Lynne hope you get back to NY. My cousins have been asking when we`ll visit again....who knows is the answer. I do love NYC and have been lucky to visit many times and enjoy longer trips being further away. You`re lucky to be so close to it......is it with your daughter or husband?

Chicken and bacon are lovely together.......



Dinner was good. Happy with the diced beef from Scotland......about to settle and watch final 3 episodes of the Netflix show.

It is nippy outside tonight, so hopefully it`ll be a gorgeous day tomorrow.....albeit still chilly.

Schumi we are allowed decorators in during lockdown unless you are clinically vulnerable.

Keisha that’s a good list - yes we can definitely get more snow and ice for many weeks. Latest I remember was when camping with Guides as an adult leader over May Day Bank Holiday (first weekend in May here) and we woke on the first morning to thick frost and water frozen over.

Shout out for me upstairs so I’ll catch up later!

That`s nice.

Our decorator isn`t doing any work till lockdown is over.

That`s nice.

Not us but have seen one working at a nearby house move and DS had their bedroom done and they’re coming back to do the nursery. Theirs is a lady which I shouldn’t be surprised about but admit I was even these days.

 

[Charade67]

Good afternoon. Another slow day at work today, so I have nothing to complain about. Right now I am home enjoying the beautiful weather. It was warm in the house when I got home, so I opened some windows. I have to enjoy it now. We are supposed to have rain for the next several days.

he told Tom to tell me he could only get an avocado coloured shower tray due to getting a better quality one.

Ew, avocado. There's a blast from the past. The house I lived in when I was a child has avocado shag carpet. I think our kitchen appliances were avocado too.

My 50’s bathroom has pink and mint green tiles and a mint green tub and toilet.

That sounds like it could be horrible or really cute depending on how it was done.

And this is why we can’t have nice things here...my mind immediately went to Monty Python’s The Brighter Side of Life. I’d post a clip but don’t want to offend anyone’s delicate sensibilities. Any fans of their work here?

I like some, but not all. I think some of the humor goes right past me. I still find myself using the expression "and now for something completely different" in regular life.

Enjoy the parks Keisha. Yeah, would have been little one’s Spring Break this coming week, but nope

B's was supposed to be March 15-19. We were supposed to go to Disney. What makes no sense is that the professors have been instructed not to give out any classwork that week. If they can't give out work, why can't the students have spring break?

.I have the radio on and just listening to a lady chatter on about the joys of cruising, but to Alaska......shes`s like you and has a gift of making it sound delightful. Tom is grinning at me over the room as I comment how lovely it sounds.........maybe.......

Alaska is so beautiful. I would go back in a heartbeat, but I don't want to go via cruise.

All good thoughts heading to your mom!

Thank you!

I have a joke with a friend who likes to go to spin class at 4:30am, and always tries to get me to go with her......I only see one 4:30 per day, and it's not that one, lol!!!

4:30? In the morning???? I can barely function when I get up at 7:30 to get ready for work.

was threatened by hospital if the ex & I couldn’t agree on a name Before I was discharged, the middle DS would be named ‘baby X’ on birth certificate. No surprised
divorced 2years later

Dh and I could never agree on a boy's name. I liked traditional names (If B had been a boy and I had gotten my way, her name would be Michael Thomas), and dh wanted something a little more original. Thankfully we had a girl. (I also chose that name.)

We are off on a super exciting trip to someplace like Walmart or Target to get a new phone charging cord. We may get dinner out too.

Charade, sending good thoughts your mom does well with her surgery.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Mid day stop in! Slow day at work...and I am bored. I have been youtubing researching more airfyer recipes lol. I have chicken breasts out to thaw. Not exactly sure what I will whip up yet for supper. We never seem to go hungry, and I always get it figured out.

Hope to work on the quilt for the gb tonight. Almost done. I just need to sew on the label and the edging then it is complete. Then onto my next one!!! The only good thing about long winters is I get time to work on quilts!!!!

Not sure about dinner yet. DH and I started our diet yesterday so something light I suppose. DH does not need to diet but he is being a good sport. We had chicken and stir fry veg last night, which was very good. May do something similar tonight.

The hubby and I changed the way we eat. More moderation on things. I am not one of those people who can do that extreme changing lifestyles. We do eat lower carb most of the time. DH has lost 50 lbs and I'm at 30 ( plateau yet again ) So far, we are loving how we are feeling.

I’m freezing as still have covid issues besides other medical things going on
Back to the doc again this Saturday

I am not looking forward to injection #2

I do hope you take care. I was watching a video today on covid arm....from the injections. Very interesting what is happening.

And just to show our balcony we had on that cruise, my little one posing:

I loved having a balcony on our cruise. I can't wait to travel again. DH and I want to do one together. I went on that one with our dd.

We are watching a dramatisation of the lives of 6 individuals who lived through the Blitz - we had a drama here called Housewife 49 which was very well done from the diary of an everyday housewife through the war. Would recommend if it came up on your channels.

I love shows like that!!!! I will have to watch and see if it comes on some of our streaming services.

Then started to hear a strange metallic clanking noise every time i’d Roll over a crack on the road. Stopped down at mechanics, expecting that the muffler was coming loose etc. ha, need front spring coils & struts on both sides. First time i’ve Had to do any repairs on it, can’t complain...much

THAT is not fun!!! I'm glad it happened so close to home. I know my Izzy should be getting in to get a good looking over. She is needing a litte TLC. Considering She hasn't cost us a penny since we got her, it is time to get her looked at.

I talked to my mom this afternoon. She has a colonoscopy scheduled for March 22. If it is determined that she needs surgery, that will be performed on the 23rd.

I am glad you have an appointment scheduled. I will continue to send healing thoughts her way

DD is on her way home for a visit! I'm baking chocolate chip cookies as a surprise for her right now.
All 3 of us are going out for sushi tonight at our favorite place. No cooking for me, which is a nice break!

Yum...and it is sooo nice when we can get to see the kiddos. I sure miss seeing my dd more often. Hopefully 2 more weeks and we will be making a trip to see them again.

Schumi....I don't know where your quote went. Your Goddaughter sounds delightful!!! They really do grow so fast!!!! We blink and they are learning something new!
You should just post a week long menu of your meals. They all really sounds delightful!!!!

Well, I should shuffle the last papers on my desk.
Have a great evening everyone!!!!!!

yes, avocado is definitely in the past, and there it should stay for sure! Hideous colour.

Hope your mum feels positive about the upcoming procedure, it`s not an easy thought.

Excellent weight loss Pumpkin for both of you! It seems to come off men so much easier......lol.....I do enjoy cooking but I`m sure many would call my food average....and have done.......lol......long as my family enjoy I`m quite happy.

It`s my goddaughter who had the baby.....but yes, my goodness that is one beautiful baby.......and the changes in her, I think I forgot how quickly they do grow up. She had to speak to her husband though....on zoom chats with friends all he was talking about was the baby....she reminded him how boring other people`s can be if you talk about them non stop....and apparently he was doing that. I told her that was so cute, she said I had no idea how bad he was......lol.....

Good news you have an upcoming trip to see the family......that`ll be lovely for sure......have a lovely weekend.




Another beautiful sunny day for us......chilly early hours, but gorgeous to see the sun, and should be like this for a while.

We will be out this morning for sure and take advantage of such a day........

Charcuterie tonight for us, picked up a selection of meats and olives yesterday. Going to make some rosemary bread to go with it too. Will do some shrimp and smoked salmon alongside, and we may or may not have dipped into the smoked cheese after dinner last night.......

Watched the final 3 episodes of that show on Netflix last night. Won`t spoil it for anyone who hasn`t seen it, but very odd ending and one could never have guessed that ending in a million years!

But, it`s friday...........

Have a wonderful Friday.........​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Pumpkin so well done on your weight loss. When we changed ours - yes Kev lost a lot more (to be fair he had more to lose) that was 4 years ago. Since the 15 months we’ve lived with DD and GC our low carb has gone to pot and I dip in and out for health reasons. However I’m fully back on it since Monday - wow I feel so much better already today.

Carole hope you can hold the baby very soon - like puppies the smell of them is so lovely.

Big laughs here this morning - off for vaccine at 12 and I appeared to the family dressed for going out and full make up! (I always used to wear makeup every single day but have lost the will). Well it is an important outing

Another beautiful day here - colder though with a thick frost. Chocolate cupcakes being made with L this morning. Just another coffee before we start.

Happy Friday all and hope Mac is doing ok x

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Schumi and Julie.

Charsde, beautiful picture. Yeah, while we enjoy cruising, doubt it will be our vacation this year, maybe not even next year. But once we feel comfortable, and all at ports is open to do my own thing or not, we will sail again. Next year, will be in KW, as little one will turn 21. Hehe, last time we went was for her 16th birthday, and no drinking alcohol for her. Said next time she wants to come back, is when she is able to drink an alcoholic drink.

Pumpkin, yay for both loosing weight. And yay, for more travel plans. Glad to hear all are doing good. Enjoy seeing your grandbaby too.

Schumi, yes, a beautiful sunny day is to be enjoyed. Sadly, ours yesterday was a one day one. Cloudy and the chances of rain or winter mix today, and increasing much higher chances of rain or snowy mix in the weekend, so will be a washout weekend. Oh well, at least that means no more snow to end this very snowy February. Hope you enjoyed a morning out, and meals sound lush. And neat, saw a show that showed you how they make Earl Gray tea. Hope your morning tea was tasty.

Julie, nice to get dressed up to go out sometimes. Since not commuting for some time, not made up as much for almost a year. Good to get the last shot to be protected. DH went to get his second shot today too. Yay, for making cupcakes with L this morning. Hope you are feeling good, and enjoy some coffee or tea this afternoon.

Ah, no cooing from a bird, but a very noisy airplane. I am not close enough to the airport to hear a low plane most of the time. But once in awhile we get military or commercial doing a low enough flight, either makes a loud noise or even shakes the house as it passes. I hate hearing them. For some reason, just makes me uneasy.

And so, once again up before the sun. DH just could not sleep, so neither did I. Good thing is, got a load of wash on, and enjoying a cup of tea and the remote. Quiet house as little one has a noon time class first class, and older one has his first one just after 10. Thus, a quiet house, but for the dryer running and TV on.

A Fabulous Friday homies.
Yay the weekend has started for me. Having a three day weekend is so nice.


Hope all have a most wonderful weekend too.

Time to put another load of wash on, fold the dry clothes, and refill the tea cup. A lazy day is mine. Woot!

 

[Charade67]

Ugh, woke up at 6:00 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.

I must have been tired yesterday when I posted. I quoted Lynne, but didn't respond. Lynne, thank you for the good thoughts for my mom.,

The hubby and I changed the way we eat. More moderation on things. I am not one of those people who can do that extreme changing lifestyles. We do eat lower carb most of the time. DH has lost 50 lbs and I'm at 30 ( plateau yet again ) So far, we are loving how we are feeling.

Congratulations to you both. My weight loss has been very slow. I am down 7 pounds since the start of the year. I need to start adding some exercise to my day.

I am glad you have an appointment scheduled. I will continue to send healing thoughts her way

Thank you.

Beautiful picture Charade

Thanks. Dh had it framed for me for Christmas the year we went to Alaska.

Big laughs here this morning - off for vaccine at 12 and I appeared to the family dressed for going out and full make up! (I always used to wear makeup every single day but have lost the will). Well it is an important outing

I think I put on makeup one time this past year. Haven't dressed up either. I am living in jeans and yoga pants.

Sadly, ours yesterday was a one day one. Cloudy and the chances of rain or winter mix today, and increasing much higher chances of rain or snowy mix in the weekend, so will be a washout weekend.

Same here, but without the chance of snowy mix. We are supposed to get rain for the next several days.

We are planning our next Busch Gardens visit. They still aren't fully open here, and are still doing 4 hour events. For March they are having a St. Patrick's celebration. I'm happy because they are bringing back music and dancing.

 

[keishashadow]

Not the best quality but took from moving car as i was arriving home last night. Figure those three were waiting to share the pizza I had in hand

Off soon to get hair done. Have been taking vitamin d & c, side effect appears to be hair growing rapidly, half way down my back again. Last lop off was Novemember.

At least that means beginning of May. I will keep looking at flights though. And ready to book my Fall flights.

May is right around the corner . SWA still has high prices thru 3rd week of May, has to shift soon.

Wasn’t happy my april/may fights both disappeared with them & they booked me on long, connecting flights instead of a NS. Nice try, Nope

Oh the boy is doing Orion Nebula tonight......will pass it on when it`s ready....

Ooooh, good

Latest I remember was when camping with Guides as an adult leader over May Day Bank Holiday (first weekend in May here) and we woke on the first morning to thick frost and water frozen over.

Had that happen when i tent camped once same time frame here. Talking primitive, no wooden floor for base. Woke up literally soaked despite having waterproof ground plastic down. Higher elevation = freak snow overnight lol. Days before cell phones & accuweather. Change of clothes but still wound up sitting in car with heater running to regroup lol

and now for something completely different" in regular life.

Another great one!

B's was supposed to be March 15-19. We were supposed to go to Disney. What makes no sense is that the professors have been instructed not to give out any classwork that week. If they can't give out work, why can't the students have spring break?

That is amazing! Congratulations to you both

It`s my goddaughter who had the baby.....but yes, my goodness that is one beautiful baby.......and the changes in her, I think I forgot how quickly they do grow up.

So true. Sorry you aren’t able to do a F2F meet there. Most say there is nothing like that new car smell. my mr insists nothing on earth beats that new baby one. This from the man who promptly would hand over said bundles when diaper change time rolled around . I do get the sentiment tho!

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Charade, hope BG fun for the St. Patty’s Day event BG is having. Dorney and Sesame Place are both open, but with limited hours, with Dorney not open on the weekends, and neither have their water park open yet. Mostly won’t see water parks open until maybe even June. No parks for us any time soon. But maybe in May.

Keisha, yep, deer getting frisky now. Soon should see newborn deer. They gotta bulk up for the winter times. Hehe, Friday night pizza. Lent means no meat on Friday. We had chicken. Oh well. Hope toe is feeling much better.

Mac, hope doctors find how to make you feel good. Sending mummy dust well wishes.

Ooh hear our neighbor lone chicken. Sole survivor that old hen. Neighbors have taken such good care of them.

37F out, and a beautiful sunny start to the day, but those pesky wet clouds will come into view by the afternoon. No clear sunset to be seen. Oh well, the sunrise was so pretty, all golden.

Ooh hear a kid. Hot breakfast, as when not my speedy day, can make a longer cooking and making meal. Think it’s older one, so off to make some scrambled eggs and home fries. Little one will get any left over potatoes. Eggs, nope only making enough for older one and I. If any are left, DH will eat.

 

[Realfoodfans]

First vaccination for us Lynne but very well organised and quick in and out didn’t even feel the needle. Kev says his arm has gone a little stiff but so far nothing for me.

Lovely photos Keisha. We have had some extra birds visiting since the gardening yesterday.

Charade I share your early start. Can never get back to sleep if after 6. I tend not to get up until 7 though and listen to a book or the radio.

Some bad news for us today - another delay on Em’s final financial court hearing. Seems totally unacceptable and we all reacted in different ways. Opens up a few more financial issues sadly.

Trying to remain calm.

 

[schumigirl]

Yes, that baby smell is lovely......can`t say the same about puppies though.......not for me......lol......

Gald the jab went well.

Hope all have a most wonderful weekend too.

Time to put another load of wash on, fold the dry clothes, and refill the tea cup. A lazy day is mine. Woot!

I was quite fascinated with the whole tea process on a show I watched years ago, it was at the start of us getting more and more so called fancy teas.....I`m always amazed how many options we have with tea.

We said the same thing recently, the only air traffic we ever hear are from the air bases. But, we didn`t see many planes overhead before the pandemic. Freight were common.

Enjoy your long weekend and enjoy some tea too......

Oh forgot you were getting your hair done today.......enjoy some salon time!

Yes, not sharing with deer.......nice shot though.

I can`t wait to mee that baby......yes, I love a new car smell, but a new baby is something else....melts your heart. lol........your mister is a hoot! Tom was good, but don`t think he rushed to volunteer to do the nappies as we call them.




House smells of rosemary right now.....picked a whole load of fresh rosemary this morning, not from my garden I have to say.....not yet anyway. So, it permeated throughout the whole downstairs when I was chopping it and now it`s baked.....gorgeous! Will use the rest of the rosemary on Sunday when we have lamb for dinner.

Will keep that for dinner....or try to! I`m sure a slice or two will disappear before that.

Sun is still shining and although it is chilly, my goodness it`s beautiful outside. Everyone is starting to smile a lot more when the weather is like this.......

Time for tea and try to resist the bread that is calling us.........

Friday Morning stop in!!!! I am so happy it's Friday!!!!! It's been a very long week!

Had a small dusting of snow overnight. Just when I thought it would be safe to give my Izzy a bath ( she is quite dirty right now ) then it snows a little again. Oh well. Maybe on Sunday I'll take her and give her a good bath. Hopefully the streets will be dry by then....or at least a little drier so all the vehicles don't look like they are wearing coats of dirt.

Was very happy to walk outside this morning, and see that DH has swept my car off. So I was able to just hop in and drive away. I love it when he does little things like that!!!

It is VERY slow today. I am not sure what I am going to do to keep busy today. When it was quiet at work that past year, I have been able to work on some course work during the day. I am so used to being extremely busy and planning my weeks with very detailed lists/plans of coursework that was needing to be completed. time lines of actual work that needed to be done, cooking meals, shopping, and fitting in some regular household cleaning so that our house didn't look like something out of some of those tv programs, that I really don't know what to do with all my free time anymore Last night I worked on a puzzle. I was too tired to work on the quilt. So put on Downton Abbey and worked on a puzzle. I just didn't have the brain power to watch something new.

Watched the final 3 episodes of that show on Netflix last night. Won`t spoil it for anyone who hasn`t seen it, but very odd ending and one could never have guessed that ending in a million years!

I must have missed what you are watching? I'm always up for learning about new shows to watch. Currently DH and I are watching Yellowstone...and are loving it.
And yes I love that new baby smell too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And about your Goddaughter's hubby....That is dh talking about the grandbaby. But she just steals our hearts. Dh is just so enamorded with her. We video chat with them often, and he could just watch her play for hours.

Big laughs here this morning - off for vaccine at 12 and I appeared to the family dressed for going out and full make up! (I always used to wear makeup every single day but have lost the will). Well it is an important outing

I love that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the opposite. For years (when the kids were little) I didn't have time to use anything more than a bit of eyeliner, mascara and MAYBE some blush and out the door. I didn't straighten my hair, it would just be my natural curls which took me 1-2 minutes to do and out the door. NOW....I am loving taking my time getting ready in the mornings. I am starting to have a little bit of a collection of makeup now But I am loving it.

And so, once again up before the sun. DH just could not sleep, so neither did I. Good thing is, got a load of wash on, and enjoying a cup of tea and the remote. Quiet house as little one has a noon time class first class, and older one has his first one just after 10. Thus, a quiet house, but for the dryer running and TV on.

I love the quiet of the house. I am not a morning person, I get to enjoy the quiet of the house at night. Enjoy the tea!!!!

Not the best quality but took from moving car as i was arriving home last night. Figure those three were waiting to share the pizza I had in hand

Great picture. As much as I love seeing them, I wish we could just lead then into our freezer at times They really are beautiful animals. I enjoy coming across them when we are out walking on the paths by the creek no far from our house. We occasionally see them wander down out street making their way to the creek.

Well, I should finish my Tim's tea....then get to work on some of the paperwork sitting on my desk.
Have a great day!!!!!

I think I`ve always been a morning person, since I was young I never slept late, and except for a few years when I started going out with friends at 16/17 to disco`s....remember them.....lol......when sleeping late was essential......I`ve always got up exceptionally early.

The show was on Netflix and it`s called Behind Her Eyes......it`s slow.....sinister, although we thought things weren`t as they seemed, and at times a little confusing, but it did hook us in......I think there`s going to be a second series. I`d recommend it for sure, but it does take a little patience to get through one or two of the episodes.

Have a great weekend Pumpkin........



Had such a busy day today......but a nice day. Bread turned out nice and dinner was lovely.......I did say I`d post the pictures........

It was lush........just a little selection as it was just the two of us tonight, and a pink gin fizz to go along with it. We just set the table in the kitchen as it was just us.

About to watch a new Kevin Bacon movie......hope it`s as sinister as it sounds......lamps off, candles on........

Good Saturday morning........and what a beautiful Saturday morning it is......

Sunshine everywhere and will stay like this for the whole day......yes, that is exciting! Cloud forecast tomorrow.

Our government are asking folks not to go crazy as it is going to be a beautiful weekend in most places and not flood tourist areas but to stay as we have been, in lockdown. Sadly, a lot of folks won`t. Furthest we go today is the garden.

Up early and more laundry on the line, I think Tom is wondering if I`m taking other folks laundry in! But, got to take advantage of the sunshine.

Bacon was enjoyed for breakfast, rest of charcuterie for lunch and spicy chicken stir fry in plum sauce for dinner. But looking forward to some garden time today........will still need a fleece as it`s not overly warm.

Have a wonderful Saturday..........​

Watching the lovely Captain Sir Tom`s funeral on tv right now.

The church bells around the country rang out at midday and an RAF flypast. It`s quite sad to see only his family in the church, but they have asked people not to line the streets.

Lovely family.
