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

[schumigirl]

CONGRATS to your dad Lori......what a win!!!! That must have made all your days. Its so much fun at a casino.......love Spanish Ham.....one of my favourites after Parma Ham.......we have a Greek family in our village, they invited a few of us once and we had some Greek Ham.....not nice at all, too fatty.....but glad you had so much fun......



Just back in from our 2nd walk......it is hot, but cool and breezy which is weird.

Another 3 miles clocked up after our 5 miles this morning........bought some lovely cod down on the front staright from the boats....cannot get fresher than that. Will roast it off simply with some little ingredients and lemon butter sauce with some roasted veg. Nice and tasty.

Need a cool down now.....

And sending all good wishes to those that are a little poorly........ Get well soon.......

Yay! Woot! Those casino wins, Paris. Dad the big winner. Glad you enjoyed a good lunch too. Yeah, hair is tied up, humid as all outside. Getting ready for my lunchtime walk.

Yay, Schumi had 2 walks. And bought fresh fish for dinner. Nice. Not for me though. LoL

 

[macraven]

The fish or the walking?

 

[schumigirl]

Friends that come to our home are all fish eaters thankfully.....glad I`m not feeding you as we eat a lot of fish. Enjoy your walk.



It`s a completely different day here now......this morning was dull and overcast with a strong breeze.....now, it`s still and boiling hot with bright blue skies.....

Laundry all dry and will iron tonight.

Time to cook that fish....won`t take long. Early dinner tonight as everyone is starving......

 

[Lynne G]

The fish or the walking?

Ooh the fish. Don’t mind the walking, as just came back. Only thing I have to say, is it’s a good thing my puffy hair is tied back.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, evening tea for me. Steak on the grill, as we were not the winners of the spotty thunderstorms in the area. Local news showed flooding damages and rescues from high water not that far North of us. Scary, as they got 6 to 10 inches of rain in less than an hour yesterday. We got so little, nothing to measure yesterday. Tomorrow, another rinse and repeat. High humidity and 90 degrees is the high. Partly cloudy skies to be seen. As such, I bet that camel will be doing any activity early in the morning.

Have a most calm night, and a deep good night’s sleep.

Nice night light! Weirdly I`m seeing ice cream too



Litte shout out to Charade as she has been missing from posting last few days.......hope all is well with you.





Last very dull morning before we have a run of some lovely weather every day for at least a week to 10 days.....we get very excited about a run of good weather like that in the UK.

Will be sunscreen on every day while walking after that as there is practically no shade the whole walk along any of the beaches. There is some shade in the woodland walks, but we prefer the shore walks.

Doing honey and balsamic chicken tonight, my little herb garden has been growing wonderfully so can use a lot of my own herbs now in cooking. And I think some ice cream is needed, so will buy some double cream and make a batch up for later. Breakfast will be muffins I baked and fruit again, such a nice breakfast.

Hot water with lemon for now........

Have a terrific Wednesday​

Happy hump day homies. Yay, a Wednesday is here. Seems camel is doing his yoga early this morning. Good thing. Never went below a low 70’s temp in the overnight. Steamy and an over 90 degrees high day. A Summer HHH day. No, not a spooky one. Yeah, you know, the weather that makes you sweat the moment you step outside and get that it’s hot out feeling, see a hazy horizon, and have puffy hair with all that humidity in the air. Oh and with that roll of the dice, don’t be a rain looser and have that rain downpouring, lightning showing, loud thunder, thunderstorms that will randomly make their appearance later today. Yep, our Summer day blueprint. And one predicted the rest of this week. Heat Advisory week. Sigh. But I’m happy the Summer temps are here.

And so, as a Wednesday, give a woot. Means two days later, why hello Friday. And since I’m done with long weeks, highly thinking of making my Friday a lazy one. Woot!

Good Morning Schumi. Yep, good to wear suntan lotion even when it’s overcast. Nice to hear a stretch of good weather predicted. Hope you had a perfect cup of tea this morning. Off to make tea for me.

A most Wonderful Wednesday homies.

Hi everyone. Quick
Been busy with work, home improvements, and other life stuff. I think we’ve chosen our house painter. Today someone is coming by to give an estimate on the floor.

Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to be back later.

 

[Lynne G]

Welcome to be a house owner, Charade. Hope all is well, and freshly painted house and new floors.

Yes, the excitement was high!

Cod sounds like a nice choice!

I'm so happy for him!
DD says he needs to buy a new set of golf clubs, lol! His are so old!

Nice night light! Weirdly I`m seeing ice cream too

Yes, now I see ice cream, lol!!

Glad you have such a nice stretch of weather!

Sloppy Joe's was requested for tonight. Need to think of a couple sides to go along.
Tomorrow night is chicken for us.

Glad you found a painter, and hopefully you'll get the floor person soon. It will all be worth it when finished!!







75 and gorgeous outside currently, with a high of 83. The only bummer is a 50 percent chance of storms this afternoon. But hey, 50 percent is won't storm....right??


My friend from Alabama texted me a picture of a sweet 6 month old puppy. She's trying to find her a home. Puppies melt my heart, and it's sad anybody could just leave this beautiful girl at the roadside. We already have 3 pets, so we cannot handle a 4th. Anyone able to give a good home?





Nails for DD and me today. After, we will pick up her altered pants. The seamstress texted last night to say they are finished. Maybe 9 holes of golf if the storms hold off....


Enjoy your Wednesday, whatever the weather may bring!!

 

[schumigirl]

Cute puppy Lori……..I’m sure it’ll be snapped up……there’s a special place in hell for folks who could do that to a puppy.

Sounds like a lovely day you have planned ahead…….I’m glad you’re getting to spend as much time with DD before she moves…….

Enjoy golf if weather holds out…….yes, are forecasts ever accurate?



Sitting in garden enjoying the sunshine, it is beautiful, and much warmer than the forecast predicted….definitely shorts and tees now. It was so sulk and dank this morning walking, but would be too hot now……..

Non alcoholic strawberry lemonade has been made up in the blender……Jimmy Buffet would be so disappointed!

Aww…what a cutie. I hope she finds a home soon

there’s a special place in hell for folks who could do that to a puppy.

I agree.

Super bored at work today. Thankfully I have less than an hour left.

Making a quick stop in!!!

Been busy working, and trying to do some planning for dh's birthday. Secured a little venue and now just organizing some other things for ideas I have. Guess we will see how this all pans out. Anxiously waiting for the 21 to hear about travel restrictions and the boarder opening. Not that we would drive anyways...flying has always been open...but have to do lots of testing on both sides of the boarder. So we will see what announcements they make.

Enjoying out warm weather. Rain is finally in the forecast here for the weekend. As much as I hate to see rain happen on a weekend, we desperately need it. It's as " dry as a popcorn fart" here. So it might be a weekend in the house. I know I will find something to keep myself busy.

Well...I should get this package out...as well as my passport. It was needing to be renewed...so I am sending out and crossing my fingers it doesn't take too long to process.

Have a great day Hommie!!!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, like that saying for dry conditions, Pumpkin. Yay, for arranging DH’s birthday celebration. I hope the borders do open soon. So many like to travel by driving back and forth across the borders.

Charade, hope your last work hour went fast. I did not sleep well last night, so took a short nap as soon as I signed off, and then little one came home to wake me up.

Even though little one gets lunch included with her work day, she rarely likes what they serve. Ends up with a salad most of the time. As such, she is usually starving when she gets home. I had ordered Chinese right before she came home. So she dropped her back pack, and off we were to pick up dinner. Was tasty, and definitely have some leftover, so will be fine to zap for lunch tomorrow. Or snack on later, as was an early dinner.

Think we are, so far, not a rain looser, so glad to see a sunny sundown. Still a long day of bright. Sun still does not set until 3 more hours.

Well, hope Pumpkin’s area is thirsty enough, they get some rain. For the rest of the homies, many of us are happy forecast does not include rain. For those going to have a dry day, get ready to be thirsty. Ah yes, after this wonderful Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday is tomorrow. Stay thirsty my friends. And have a quite lovely evening.

 

[Charade67]

A light for tonight. It’s completely made of ice.

 

[macraven]

It’s beautiful!

 

[schumigirl]

Pumpkin.....good luck with the border announcement.....I think you should fare better than us when it comes to a good result....fingers crossed for you! And nice to hear your plans are starting to fall into place with the party arrangements.





Sun is shining albeit with a little cloud this morning, but as the day goes on, it`ll just get nicer and nicer....and next 3 days has to be very hot...for us of course, so I think we`ll make sure we have plenty of fresh produce in, and spend the time in the garden a lot. Will walk early enough before it gets too hot, but may miss out the weekend.

We`re already starting to see those sensor lights outside come on just a little earlier at night now......by mid August we`ll see a real change in the light as the nights finally get longer with some darkness.

Started watching a new show last night, but the American trying to do an English accent was dreadful, so couldn`t watch it longer than 10 minutes. So, watched a show about Marilyn Monroe that I`d never seen before, always interesting, and what a beautiful woman she was.

Food will all grilled outside next few days apart from take out on Saturday night, but have to take advantage of this glorious weather. Have a grocery delivery coming at lunchtime today and will go out for fresh produce after our walk this morning, should do us till Sunday.

Time to quench that thirst.....no one wants to be thirsty!!

Have a wonderful Thursday
​

 

[Lynne G]

Hope your walk was nice Schumi. I hear ya on some hot days coming.

Here, our Thursday is another heat advisory issued day. Hazy and hot was the descriptions from the weather lady this morning. Yeah, and humid was the other. While most of the day will be more overcast, a most glorious looking sunshine start an hour ago. So enjoy seeing that bright and light early morning this first hour of daylight. And once again not leaving the 70’s degrees in the overnight. A most pleasant time of the day, it’s 73 out right now. Eh, but no early morning walk for me. But I will have suntan lotion on when I walk at lunchtime. Even if the clouds are around, at that time, will be around 90 degrees. Ah yes, and a water bottle will be in my hand too. Thirsty I will be with our hazy, hot and humid mid July Thirty Thursday.

So homies, with lights not needed now, thanks to Summer for many of us, have a drink or more, as it’s a Thirsty Thursday. And have a totally terrific Thursday, and a good morning.
