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

[schumigirl]

Making a quick stop in!

No test results yet...but I didn't expect anything yet today. Still feeling pretty cr!%&y. Seeing the lawn covered in snow again doesn't help either I guess Mother nature is experiencing some menopausal periods again.


It's always great to have a get away!!! Enjoy the planning. That is half the fun!!!!

Some clients are REALLY really special. There are always " those" special people who make us want to gouge our eyes out. I hope you get some good news about your mom.

That is awesome!!! You will be able to enjoy your trip just a little better now.

Hope you feel a bit better as we start the new week pumpkin......yes, snow won`t be helping much either. We had hailstones last night....was quite surprising even though I knew it was cold....just didn`t realise it was that cold!

My mother is going to drive me insane! She told me that the oncologist said that there would be no further treatments. I asked if that was because she was confident that it was all removed during surgery. Mom said she didn't know. Well, what exactly did the doctor say? Mom says that she told her so much stuff that she can't remember all of it. I feel like I need to drive to her doctor's office in SC, get a HIPAA consent form, take it to Mom and make her sign it, and take it back to her doctor's office. I don't understand how she can ve content with knowing so little about her health care.

I usually don't start packing until a day or two before the trip. Dh and I have been ordering shirts to wear at Disney. We really need to stop. The next couple of weeks are going to look like Christmas delivery at our house,

I once had to return some flip flops because they weren't quite what I expected.

View attachment 571147


I once met a woman who bragged that her child had never had an ear infection and claimed it was because she breastfed. She shut up when I told her that B had never had one either and she was bottle fed.

That sounds really good.


Sorry you are still feeling bad. Hope you improve soon.

I am tryin my best to not fall asleep before bedtime. I exercised when I got home from work, and now I am even more sleepy.

Yep, day before or even the day we leave for our overnight at the airport for packing suits us. Although the first time we get back I think I`m going to start packing weeks in advance....just because I can......

Yes, I hope the reason is because they got it all. Might be a good idea to do one of those consent forms as she may be missing something important. Hope she does much better now.

Oh the perfect mummy brigade can be smugly annoying......a few sharp retorts usually worked, but for the most part back then all my friends that had babies the same time all respected each others decisions.......it was the playgroups and get togethers that were like a snidey fest at times.

lol.....that is a very odd pair of flip flops!

Hope you slept well......

Like the shirt, Charade. Yeah, we started having one of us kids with my mom to hear what doctor had to say. My mom never got it all right either. I think they half listen, as feeling good or won’t say not feeling well. Hugs, as hard when you are not with her easily.

Well, still no side effects, thank goodness, though doctor said take hot shower when you get up, to get moving for the day, and don’t feel lethargic. I always take a quick bath or shower every day, as part of my morning routine, so that advice will be taken tomorrow morning no problem.

Cam, oh well, still have fun at the parks. Yeah, the prices go way up when kids start to wear adult clothes and shoes. Good thing my foot is smaller than little one’s, so I got some hand me down shoes when she outgrew them. Her foot size is about the same as my sister’s, so my sister always tries to steal little one’s shoes. Older one also has a larger feet size than DH, so even DH got hand me down shoes and a few shirts older one outgrew.
We had a nice time out after I got the shot and waited 15 minutes after. And yes, she did go get Starbucks coffee while I waited. Ended up with some good smelling bath stuff, as 1/2 off, and little one found some sports bras she liked and fit well. Came home, men were starving, so made some cheesesteaks, and fried some onions for the men. Then tossed some onion rings in the air fryer. Nice and crisp, and were delicious. Some potato chips, and dinner served. Did not feel like making much, as way too hot out, and did pick up the rolls and chipped beef on our way home. Already had cheese and onion rings in refrigerator/freezer, and a bag of chips no one had gotten into yet.

And so, get thirsty, a Thursday will be here before ya know it. Woot to being the last week in April, with a hello May to end the week. Do the rhyme, 30 days has September, April, June, and November. all the rest have 31, except that short month February, 28 or every 4 years, then 29. Yay not Friday the 13th, but Friday the 30th?

So a happy Wednesday evening to all the homies.

Did feel like a Friday to me. Oh well, as middle of week, will be a Friday after I wake up tomorrow. A stormy and 77 degree high Thursday for us. Guess the land wants some watering from the weather. Or a low weather system is going to crash into this high weather system, hence the storms, and based on Friday and Saturday having high temps not even as high as 70, guess which system wins? But a happy me, 5 day forecast sees 80’s in the high temps Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Woot! Woot! Woot! And yes, AC was turned on. We are not used to this heat, pants were on the other day. But yay to shorts and flip flops. Though sneakers will be my footwear on our trip. Way too much walking for my otherwise very comfy flip flops.

Hope no side effects for you Lynne.

It’s 11:20 now and watching the news
Currently 74 degrees and the ac went on at noon today

It has been a cool spring until now

Just a quick drive by here to tuck all the homies to bed

Good night and sweet dreams !

Your heat is coming back I see.......thought you might still be up this morning for some reason......and woke thinking it was Monday for some weird reason!! Hope you sleep well too.......





I think it`s Thursday, yes, must be.

No idea what walk we`ll do this morning. If it`s still as cold, we`ll do the woodland walk, if it`s not too bad we`ll do the beach. It`s the wind that makes it unpleasant if it`s too cold, but looks quite still out there and the sea frome here looks pretty calm. Mix of sun and cloud so far and starts to get light just after 4am now......annoying for the astronomers in our family who miss the dark nights.

Sad to hear of the death of Michael Collins yesterday. Amazing astonaut who had quite the life. We`ve read a couple of books he wrote/was involved with and they were quite fascinating.

Hoping if we do get down to the seafront we catch some of the later fishermen coming in and see what they have, if not, won`t be having fish tonight.

Started reading the Thursday Murder Club till we get our next book group choice, I need to give it a chance as it hasn`t gripped me straight away, but I think it will once it gets going.

So, either fish for dinner tonight or not......no idea what the other choice is yet. Breakfast is cornbread muffins I made yesterday and some fruit with maybe.....a little bacon. Lunch is also still to be decided.

Happy Thirsty Throwback Thursday ​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Just starting Thursday Murder Club for May book club choice Schumi - hardback not easy in bed so will try and read in the day.

Oh yes the breastfeeding elite can cause much upset - glad to say DIL all prepped for bottles and strong character will ignore the naysayers.

Charade it does sound like mum needs someone with her for appointments. I took both parents once dad stopped driving and they were happy about that but MIL would not allow anyone to know what was going on as she liked to exaggerate her needs - when she was diagnosed with dementia thankfully Kev was contacted by various bodies but it was terribly difficult.

Hope Pumpkin is improving.

Doing some cooking this morning and hoping the temperature rises before we take Louie out. Bright and clear but much cooler than recently.

Happy Thursday all.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, a very thirsty Thursday, Schumi. Hope you enjoyed some tea today. And maybe even a walk this morning, if the weather cooperated.

Julie, will be by your home, I’m sure it smells good with all the cooking you are doing. Hope Louie got his walk in, as weather for you is better too this morning.

Well, woke up around 3am, with some aching in my arm, so took some medicine, and went back to sleep. Did wake up just before alarm, so told DH I’m doing a long hot shower. So between the two of those, my arm does feel much better. So if that is the only side effect, I’m fine with it.

And so, no bright sunrise this morning. As a bit later this morning chance of rain, then later in the afternoon, more chances of rain. Then weather guy said will be a warm enough day, and a very windy Friday. As such, will be at least 10 degrees cooler with that wind. 77 is the high today, 70 tomorrow and 60 on Saturday. Eh, will keep those flip flops on my feet. And not the ones that were a shirt. So odd that delivery that was pictured here.

And so, the AC is still on in my home, and feels almost a little warm. Either way, enjoying some tea., and back to routine. And particularly happy a Friday is tomorrow.

Good Morning homies, and enjoy that drink this Terrific Thirsty Thursday.

Hope that`s all you`re going to have with the vaccine.......yep, easy to deal with. And yes, enjoyed some nice tea this morning.....always a good start to the day.



Been a busy one today. Didn`t do the beach walk as it is baltic out there.....breeze coming straight from Siberia or so it seems. So, we went into town to a cheese shop within a deli we like and picked up a few things, then did our woodland walk which is only around an hour, but by then sun had come out and it was slightly warmer than earlier, but my goodness it`s cold in the UK right now.

Then had our book group zoom chatter about previous book, no one loved it......about a third of us didn`t finish it. I did but, not the book I thought it was going to be.

Next one up is The Guest list which sounds ok, so I got on to the book store I use and ordered one for everyone. Should be here Saturday, ladies that live further out get theirs sent directly.

Dinner is caramel chilli chicken....friend gave me her recipe, which I`ll alter slightly...add a few things, leave something out....then, it`ll be perfect Doing butter roasted baby potatoes too.


Hope Lori made it home safe and sound.......

 

[schumigirl]

​

Janet.......I know you`ll be setting off early tomorrow.....so in case I don`t get the chance on the boards......hope you have the best time on your trip...you certainly deserve a fabulous trip.....have a cocktail for me





Still cold outside tonight, but heating is on.

Had a taste of a new gin tonight, blackberry and raspberry.....lush. Only had a small one though.

Weather forecast next few days doesn`t look great, as long as it stays dry we`ll walk.

Caramel chilli chicken was lovely, I did add more jalapeno and ginger than was called for, so it was nice and spicy, but lacked real caramel flavour. Would make it again, and adapt it slightly too.

Doubt we`ll be up late tonight.

 

[keishashadow]

grabbed my new glasses that arrived earlier than expected & packing pretty much done. Dental school did call me back, said I needed to fax a referral. Ok, now I wait for the evaluation appt. whole thing does tend to make me feel a bit weak in the knees lol

Need to deliver my pooch to DS house, will grab a pizza & hoagies and stay a bit to play with the kitties. Then hopefully, sleep better than the last two nights before taking off tomorrow

Carole - Happy to have cocktails for all!

I will be with the tall blonde haired guy and a teenage boy, so gives us a wave if you see us around.

Sounds good

Made some strawberry lemonade

That sounds good too

No test results yet...but I didn't expect anything yet today. Still feeling pretty cr!%&y. Seeing the lawn covered in snow again doesn't help either I guess Mother nature is experiencing some menopausal periods again

Lol hope you get your results soon, has to be hard to wait for them.

I feel like I need to drive to her doctor's office in SC, get a HIPAA consent form, take it to Mom and make her sign it, and take it back to her doctor's office. I don't understand how she can ve content with knowing so little about her health care.

You might be able to handle it online. Does her health group/practice have online app? Perhaps if u call the office they can direct you to the steps to initiate.

once met a woman who bragged that her child had never had an ear infection and claimed it was because she breastfed. She shut up when I told her that B had never had one either and she was bottle fed.

My 2nd DS needed two sets of ear tubes, what that chick spouts is a fallacy. My youngest DS has recurrent ear infections too. Was explained it’s typically due to genetics, how the ear canal is shaped. Extra bends in it encourage wax to build, resulting in infections often.

We had hailstones last night.

They are disturbing to me. Can’t remember where, maybe TX? Had them the size of softballs yesterday.

So between the two of those, my arm does feel much better. So if that is the only side effect, I’m fine with it.

1st shot that pretty much the course of things. Although i do know one person who got got sick. Hoping your 2nd is a breeze

caramel chilli chicken...

Not sure how i feel about that...how did it come out? Was it a ‘chili’ or a dish with Carmel & chili seasoning...that sounds interesting

Yes, chilli flakes and jalapenos. Have sent you the recipe I kind of followed....it has brown sugar and jalapeno`s in the recipe and as opposed to "chilli".....you won`t see me cook that as I hate chilli...one dish I never touch.

The chicken and sauce are sweet and spicy, but as I wrote, I quadruple the ingredients to make it more saucy and miss out things like coriander (cilantro) It was nice but maybe a little too sweet. I`d cut back on the sugar next time.

Please have a hurricane cocktail for me please....or any kind of margarita will do to be honest...

Have a safe flight and wonderful time.......

 

[macraven]

Keisha .....safe travels tomorrow!

Come back home with a tan.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels Keisha. Enjoy!

Pumpkin, sending more feel better mummy dust your way. And no more snow.

Ooh, DH was lucky, not 5 minutes after he came home, quite the noisy rain and windy too. Phone flashed moderate rain and high wind warnings. Good thing all are chilling inside. Little one had her final at dinner time. Hence an easy late dinner, as had some bacon left over, so chopped it up, added some shredded cheese mixed with the rest iof the ground beef, and made my own bacon cheese burgers. Add a salad, and quick and filling meal. No bun for me though. I’m not fond of the white bread buns we buy, but the men make doubles with them. And they are also used by DH for his tomato and cheese sandwiches.

And a woot! Tomorrow, is an earlier day for me, thank goodness. I’m so ready for the end of the month and the end of the week days. Woot! Woot and yes, a Yay!



Have a very good night. We be thinking the ghosts are about, wind is howling and rain pelting the windows. Hope your night is quieter and not wet like mine, homies.

 

[Charade67]

I can't believe I am saying this again so soon, but it has been another sad day. I think I have mentioned my Facebook friend from the Girl Scout group who had ALS. I found out today that she passed away yesterday morning. I regret that I never got the chance to meet her in person. She lived here in VA, but a few hours away from me.

Yes, I hope the reason is because they got it all. Might be a good idea to do one of those consent forms as she may be missing something important. Hope she does much better now.

When I talked to her yesterday she sounded good, but was very tired because she had done a lot of walking. I may have to keep nagging her about the consent form.

Charade it does sound like mum needs someone with her for appointments. I took both parents once dad stopped driving and they were happy about that but MIL would not allow anyone to know what was going on as she liked to exaggerate her needs - when she was diagnosed with dementia thankfully Kev was contacted by various bodies but it was terribly difficult.

My Aunt was with her at the appointment, but she's not much better about remembering and understanding things. I wish my cousin had been able to go.

Well, woke up around 3am, with some aching in my arm, so took some medicine, and went back to sleep. Did wake up just before alarm, so told DH I’m doing a long hot shower. So between the two of those, my arm does feel much better. So if that is the only side effect, I’m fine with it.

Hope that is it for you. I just had a sore arm and was a little tired.

grabbed my new glasses that arrived earlier than expected & packing pretty much done. Dental school did call me back, said I needed to fax a referral. Ok, now I wait for the evaluation appt. whole thing does tend to make me feel a bit weak in the knees lol

Sounds very frustrating. Dh has been having a similar issue with our dental company. He needs several crowns.

You might be able to handle it online. Does her health group/practice have online app? Perhaps if u call the office they can direct you to the steps to initiate.

I'll have to check. The problem will be getting my mom to do it. She is very technophobic. She won't even use a cell phone.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making an evening stop in!

Test results are in....and drum roll please It's positive for covid

So I'm still quarantining in the bedroom. The rest of the family has their designated areas. Hubby did give me a belly laugh....he ordered in pizza for supper, and delivered it to the bedroom wearing his full mudding rain suit, a close faced helmet WITH a mask underneath, and wearing my dishwashing gloves Gotta make the best of it where we can lol.
He also went outside to check on something in the shed, and I opened the window and started chanting " let me out, let me out " So far the neighbors haven't called the cops on us. I'm sure we will tell them across the fence.

Spent most of the day on the phone with varying phonecalls. UGH...now to tell my family I'm positive for covid. That should go over really well

I am feeling alright and no real serious symptoms yet. DH and the boys are now quarantining and go for testing tomorrow.

My mother is going to drive me insane! She told me that the oncologist said that there would be no further treatments. I asked if that was because she was confident that it was all removed during surgery. Mom said she didn't know. Well, what exactly did the doctor say?

Eh, will keep those flip flops on my feet. And not the ones that were a shirt. So odd that delivery that was pictured here.

I am surprised that they would tell her that mush information without having another support person there for her. I hope you are able to get answers to all of your questions. I would have pages of questions if it was one of my parents.

Had a taste of a new gin tonight, blackberry and raspberry.....lush. Only had a small one though.

I am not a big gin fan....but that sounds delicious!!!!!!

Ooh, DH was lucky, not 5 minutes after he came home, quite the noisy rain and windy too. Phone flashed moderate rain and high wind warnings. Good thing all are chilling inside.

And they are also used by DH for his tomato and cheese sandwiches.

We don't get lots of rain here, and I am not a good driver in it and yet on long road trips, I always used to seem to get the driving shifts during the rain. Your dinner sounded good.

Well, I think I'm going to work on my paint by number I got for xmas. It's not like I have much else to do in my bedroom. I'm trying to think of a way to get my sewing machine in here so I could at least to try keep busy for the next week sitting in this room!

 

[Charade67]

Not the answer we were hoping to hear. Prayers that you don't start feeling any worse.

She had my Aunt there with her, but that is really like having my mom times 2. I'm going to call her again tomorrow and see if I can get more information from her or my Aunt.

 

[macraven]

Pumpkin
Hope you sail through the virus and limited discomforts!

Im assuming you will be off cooking duties, cleaning the house, laundry, etc

Hey, this sounds almost like you are on vacation...

Hope you do fine and get better soon!

 

[schumigirl]

And a woot! Tomorrow, is an earlier day for me, thank goodness. I’m so ready for the end of the month and the end of the week days. Woot! Woot and yes, a Yay!

Have a very good night. We be thinking the ghosts are about, wind is howling and rain pelting the windows. Hope your night is quieter and not wet like mine, homies.

Rainy night here too.....woke me up a couple of times during the night.......nice you have an early finish today.

I can't believe I am saying this again so soon, but it has been another sad day. I think I have mentioned my Facebook friend from the Girl Scout group who had ALS.

What a shame Charade about your friend. Yes, it`s a shame you never met, as online friends can become as good a friends as real life ones. I know many that I`ve met on here and other sites have become very close friends. I`m sorry you`ve had another loss.

The consent form does sound a good idea in your mum`s case.

Making an evening stop in!

lol...least you haven`t lost your sense of humour .....but what a shame you`re positive. But, at least you don`t feel too bad and fingers crossed the rest of the family don`t have it.

Don`t laugh, Tom and I both hate gin with a passion. Regular gin that is.....but the flavoured ones have no resemblance whatsoever to plain gin that only smells of perfume to us. The very dark fruity ones and Gordon`s Pink Gin are so fruity you wouldn`t think it was gin at all, which is why we enjoy them. Good top up of fizzy lemonade, some frozen fruits and lemon slices, and you have a party in a glass....

Hope you feel ok and don`t get any worse......yes getting your sewing machine would be ideal as you don`t feel too bad.



Yes, rain bounced down some of the night and was heavy enough to wake me up.....but sun is shining this morning so hopefully it`s gone for the day.

Today, not much planned, usual walk this morning, some phone calls to make and no idea what`s going to be eaten today at all. It`s just Tom and I for dinner tonight and tomorrow night, young uns have plans, so might make something like a hot curry for tomorrow night, Thai Red as I have the ingredients I think. Tonight, no idea. Won`t be a barbecue as we are so cold over here right now.

Cheese board for lunch as we picked up some nice cheeses yesterday, might throw in some parma ham and bits too. Won`t have time to make bread this morning though.

Hope Janet has safe travels today and over a week in the heat and sunshine....

Last day of April.......

Happy Friday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, it is a Friday! Wahoo!

And so, weather guy said the weather decided to put the air dryer on. 20 to 30 mph winds with 50 to 60 mph gusts. Expecting electric lines and trees to be down. And still that blowing wind is not blowing the clouds away. Cloudy day as well as a very windy one. Though one positive thing is that what I also heard at 6 am. It was 61 degrees out. Warm start. But not a hot enough day with that wind, as the high is only 7 degrees higher than at 6 this morning. And there is a wind chill temp. Eh, still will be wearing shorts and flip flops anyway.

Sad Charade, I’m sorry to hear your ALS mom friend passed away. Sending her family and friends my sympathies. I hope you do get more info about your mom from her and your Aunt. It is hard. We gave my mom a cell phone and iPad, but she was not very good with both. We had written directions for her, and she did not always take her phone when she was out. Hugs, hard taking care of a parent.

Oh no, Pumpkin, sorry to hear positive, and humor is a good thing when not feeling well. I hope you feel good soon. Hehe, I can see your DH all dressed in his hazmat suit. At least you had dinner personally deliver to you. Continued get well mummy dust sent to Pumpkin.

Oooh house feels a bit warm. No matter, happily drinking my tea, and bright enough out. Not streaming sunlight through the window, but did hear wind whipping around the house.

That most fabulous Friday homies. Give a cheer, not only is it a Friday, but the end of this April showers month. Yay, that means we will have May flowers. Starting tomorrow! Yay! A month of not only celebrating our mom, but fiesta day too. Woot!

 

[macraven]

It’s been a long winter, spring !
Will be pleased when typical weather returns to my area

temps not horrid but prefer the heat

Another weekend about to begin and looks like our usual pattern will start up

Have had enough rain here

we did Arby’s for dinner last night
Was a change for us and it was good

grocery store run needed today so starting a list

hope all the homies are doing fine and wil have a great weekend

Keisha is off for fun going to Disney for vacation and her weather looks solid.

Hope all are doing fine and will enjoy the soon so be week end!

 

[Charade67]

Another night of poor sleep for me. I need to be cleaning, but will probably take a nap instead.

Dh got paid today, so I need to pay some bills. He got some overload pay, so a large chunk of that will go into savings and be used for vacation expenses. Our Disney trip is completely paid for except for food.

B has 2 more days of classes after today and then exams. Her last exam is on the 10th. I plan to go over there on the 11th and help her move out of her room. The students must be out of the dorms by the 12th.

Hope everyone has a nice day today. It was crazy windy this morning, but I think it has finally calmed down some.

Pumpkin really hope you keep well in your isolation. A sense of humour will certainly help.

Charade I bet you are looking forward to getting B home. Hooray for funds to go into savings. I love seeing numbers grow! Sorry to hear of another sad loss.

Lynne definitely looking ahead to May. A day of two halves here. Sunny and bright this morning Kev cut the lawns but rain has just started heavily now. Em and I went to a large M&S store as she had lots of gift cards to use. It was fairly quiet and we had a good look round. She got some nice clothes for Jacob and Lottie. Persuaded her to get a new top for herself.

Looking forward to meeting up with our best friends tomorrow for lunch. We are driving up to Yorkshire and will enjoy the trip. Haven’t seen them since last summer though speak nearly every day. She is the friend everyone needs - full of life and optimism and still teaching yoga at 70.

Happy weekend all.

Yay, it is a Friday! Wahoo!

And so, weather guy said the weather decided to put the air dryer on. 20 to 30 mph winds with 50 to 60 mph gusts. Expecting electric lines and trees to be down. And still that blowing wind is not blowing the clouds away. Cloudy day as well as a very windy one. Though one positive thing is that what I also heard at 6 am. It was 61 degrees out. Warm start. But not a hot enough day with that wind, as the high is only 7 degrees higher than at 6 this morning. And there is a wind chill temp. Eh, still will be wearing shorts and flip flops anyway.

Sad Charade, I’m sorry to hear your ALS mom friend passed away. Sending her family and friends my sympathies. I hope you do get more info about your mom from her and your Aunt. It is hard. We gave my mom a cell phone and iPad, but she was not very good with both. We had written directions for her, and she did not always take her phone when she was out. Hugs, hard taking care of a parent.

Oh no, Pumpkin, sorry to hear positive, and humor is a good thing when not feeling well. I hope you feel good soon. Hehe, I can see your DH all dressed in his hazmat suit. At least you had dinner personally deliver to you. Continued get well mummy dust sent to Pumpkin.

Oooh house feels a bit warm. No matter, happily drinking my tea, and bright enough out. Not streaming sunlight through the window, but did hear wind whipping around the house.

That most fabulous Friday homies. Give a cheer, not only is it a Friday, but the end of this April showers month. Yay, that means we will have May flowers. Starting tomorrow! Yay! A month of not only celebrating our mom, but fiesta day too. Woot!

That is a long running bug bear of ours. Mum often doesn`t carry her mobile phone with her when she goes out. So of course one of us will try and call her and no answer....no answer at home so we worry. She`s like a teenager at times and tells us she was fine, yes but we don`t know that......parenting the wrong way round.

Hope it warms up soon for you.

It’s been a long weather !
Will be pleased when typical weather returns to my area

temps not horrid but but prefer the heat

Another weekend about to begin and looks like our usual pattern will start up

Have had enough rain here

we did Arby’s for dinner last night
Was a chanfor us and it was good

grocery store run needed today so starting a list

hope all the homies are doing fine and wil have a great weekend

Keisha is off for fun going to Disney for vacation and her weather looks solid.

Hope all are doing fine and will enjoy the soon so be week end!

We`ve never gone to an Arby`s in Florida for some reason. We did enjoy Cracker Barrel the couple of times we`ve gone to them, away from touristy areas too.

Yep, our Keisha will be there as her flight was early am. Hot weather for both of you soon......





Ended up a busier day than planned.

Got a little wet this morning as we did get out a walk, but rain came on so we abandoned the walk and came home. Friend txt to ask what we were having for lunch, told her charcuterie, but mainly cheese.....she said pack it up and come over.....she had lots of meat and no cheese.......so we drove over, joined forces and had a shared lunch half outside of their home with blankets wrapped around us and a huge pair of patio heaters. Rain had gone off by then and sun had come out, but still quite cold.

It was a lovely surprise lunch out with them, had a visit with their horses who are so beautiful, then came home and made my calls.

No need for a large dinner now as lunch was very filling between what we both had. Maybe make up a shrimp cocktail as I have some shrimp left, didn`t take them all over today, and maybe rumble up some ciabatta.

Quiet night ahead for us.

It`s a Bank Holiday weekend here and weather looks ok for Saturday and Sunday, but Monday not so good. We tend to avoid places on the Bank Holiday Mondays if weather is good as everywhere gets so busy. But, looks like rain.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Friday.......

My lunchtime walk, as decided to walk along the path in the park next to the river.
