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

[Lynne G]

Thanks Mac. We don’t mind the hot weather, no rain or overnight rain would be great for us.

 

[keishashadow]

Watched Suicide Squad for the first time, original from 2016, might watch the new one when it reaches home movies. Not usually my kind of movie.

well, what a coinkydink. I’ve had it taped, seemingly forever. DVR kept telling me it was going to disappear. Since HBO+ has the new one free, decided to watch the first one. Talk about a mishmash. Sorely needed an editor. Did stick it out to the bitter end though.

Now to remember to actually watch the new one with John cena in it. I forgot to watch the insidious one wah Within the 30 allotted days they have it to stream.

PS beautiful spread you made! We had MW popcorn lol.

. I think we have lost our minds

naw, it’s easy. Try on scrap wood first To get a feel for it. you just need some fine grit sandpaper, tack cloth & some patience. PS don’t do on a humid day.

I usually take much longer to drive somewhere then I should. I need stop every couple of hours.

lol, I’m the opposite. Raised to do road trips with ahem military precision, especially as to bathroom breaks. Nobody wanted to be the one with the ‘weak bladder’ lol

Sadly, the situation has not improved. My DHs dealership is only getting ONE full size Bronco. A friend of ours snapped it up, sight unseen....as it hasn't even been delivered yet.
Good thing your DS is patient!

semi patient lol. Thanks for the info Though . If you happen to hear of any camaro convertibles up for grabs let me know

I've never made parsnips

i’ve never tasted them, far as i know. Some beef stews do have some mysterious looking veggies

same for rhubarb.

We are back into the 90’s this coming week
But not a care in the world for me.... central air

Good for you! Was up at my youngest DS this evening to drop off my pooch. Walked into a surprise dinner & cake. Got me lol. I’m not a fan of surprises in most instances. Did notice his central AC was not as cool as usual. Perhaps the extra people or fact it’s been a hot spell.

 

[Charade67]

Quick good night post. I don’t know where the day went.

Northern lights as no stubbed toes here:

Absolutely beautiful. I would love to see them in person sometime

I'm sure the stain will turn out lovely

Thank you. I think it turned out adequate. Not too bad for a first attempt.

I've never made parsnips.

I’m pretty sure I have never eaten a parsnip. I don’t even know what they look like. Will Google later.

Yay! 8 day countdown.

Woo hoo!

naw, it’s easy. Try on scrap wood first To get a feel for it. you just need some fine grit sandpaper, tack cloth & some patience. PS don’t do on a humid day

Unfortunately I don’t have much of a choice about the humidity unless I wait until fall.

lol, I’m the opposite. Raised to do road trips with ahem military precision, especially as to bathroom breaks. Nobody wanted to be the one with the ‘weak bladder’ lo

I need to stop to walk around and stretch my legs. I get too uncomfortable sitting in a car for too long.

i’ve never tasted them, far as i know

same for rhubarb.

Same here on both.

Tomorrow morning my garage should be repaired. Yay!!

 

[Charade67]

I googled weird night light. The internet did not disappoint.

 

[schumigirl]

And we have a today to one of our ladies.

Janet, one of the nicest ladies I have ever met is celebrating today......and we all wish her well for this most special day.

Hope your birthday trip is one of the best and you have the most fabulous time with your lovely mister........have plenty of cake and cocktails Janet.....and safe travels too

Have a wonderful day​

You are so close to your trip!
Hope no rain for when you are there and no scorching hot weather

We are back into the 90’s this coming week
But not a care in the world for me.... central air

I think I told you we have a heatwave coming after a few days.......betcha we don`t beat your temps, or anywhere near them........lol.......you`ll win that round every time I think.......enjoy that central air though!!

love the meme!!

Tom is the biggest rhubarb fan in the world! I like it, in a crumble and remember as a kid we would all be eating it straight from the garden, washed and we used to dip it straight into a bag of sugar. Yes, then we wonder why West of Scotland kids had terrible teeth!

Yes, even Tom who does like any kind of Marvel type movie struggled with that one, we kind of suffered it to the end to see how it turned out, yes mish mash sounds a good description.........I love Margot Robbie though, one of Hollywood`s more normal ladies from what I`ve seen, doesn`t take herself too seriously. She would make a great " Chance " to Jack in a movie, but maybe too similar to Harley Quinn. But will give the new one a try despite not liking Idris Elba.

Glad you enjoyed the surprise....does sound like a fun evening with some lovely gifts!!!!

Have the best time.......

Tomorrow morning my garage should be repaired. Yay!!

There are occasions we can see the green shimmer of the Northern Lights from our home if we look out to sea. It`s not as strong as some places, but it`s clear as crystal and some photographers do capture it and you`ve never know it was from here. Very beautiful. When we went to Norway and Finland years back, it was the wrong time to see them, but one day I`m sure we will.

Parsnips are very much a winter veg, mostly. Not the prettiest looking thing and I didn`t like them for the longest time, but roasted they bring out a sweetness and are very edible. I make a parsnip and apple soup that is quite lovely and sometimes add a dash of curry seasoning too....either or, it`s a winter warming dish, would never serve it in the summer.

Glad your staining worked out ok, and hope the garage door repair goes well.

I googled weird night light. The internet did not disappoint.

That is a winner Charade.......yep!




And it`s Monday again.......

Sunshine in abundance after our weekend of wild winds and torrential rain. May have thunderstorms this afternoon, or may not. We`re planning to barbecue later so hoping for not. Got some chicken drumsticks and thighs of varying flavours and maple pork kebabs.

Definitely walking this morning, not sure if anyone is joining us or it`s just the two of us today, no txts so far to say anyone is.

And then need to go do some shopping as we have no fresh produce left in the fridge like salad and so on, so will top them up today and a few other little bits a pieces. My herb and spice cabinet is due a go through and check for dates and ones i just haven`t used or need replaced, will do that today too. Not very exciting, but it needs doing.

Have a wonderful Monday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah a Monday, and you know it’s hot when you had a clear sky in the overnight and the AC was still running most of the night. Still on now. Yeah, sunny start, but to be partly sunny soon, as oh so muggy, that rain chances are later today. And high is 90, hello start of our heat wave.

Yay a birthday lady today. A very happy birthday Keisha.

Yeah, parsnips are more a winter vegetable, or at last that’s when I see them around too, Schumi. Around here, they make rhubarb pie. Not a fan of the taste of that pie and have never bought either.

Ah, tea in this house. A restless bed mate requires some Earl Grey. And maybe a nap after screen off. But it’s the back to routine day, with soon to hear the trash trucks sound. Most of my neighbors must not be early birds, as you could hear the trash cans being rolled out until late in the evening last night. But I do like this Monday pick up. With a pantry and refrigerator fill up over the weekend, a clearing out of old, eww, or eh, not wanted, was done yesterday afternoon. And in the trash. Nice to not have it sitting around for almost a week.

Marvelous Monday homies. And a steamy day, get inside that AC areas, and stay hydrated.

Last week of camp work. With a rewarding vacation before that third last, or second term of her junior year, starts. Why our end of summer vacations have moved to earlier in August. But yay, we are going to start next week right. Relaxing, and her riding that new dino coaster. Woot!

 

[macraven]

Janet

hope you can snooze on the drive today and arrive safely and ready to start the celebration party!

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels Keisha. Beach fun for ya!

 

[J'aime Paris]

Glad he had such a good time on the trip, yes, tired is good after a trip.

I`ve never heard of bluegill before....what kind of fish is it? There`s not many fish I don`t like. We did enjoy our meal last night, there had been about double the smoked salmon, but we sampled it at lunch to make sure we liked it.....lol.....we did!

Bluegill are quite small, normally weighing 4-7 ounces. They have firm, sweet flesh.....very nice eating!!
We polished off this batch in record time yesterday!

Rainy weekend has turned into a rainy Monday as well. It's quite dark outside for 9:30am
Heading to get nails done at 11:30am, and a pop in at the grocery store.
Slow start for the week....

The Thunder Rolls.....and a big, white scaredy dog is shaking in between my legs!!
We've had a weekend of storms, and more for today and tomorrow. Flash flood warnings have gone up.

Dark enough that I needed to turn on lights in the house. That's never a good omen on a Monday. Motivation will be low today, but the grass will be green and tall, lol!

Second cup of coffee is welcome on such a morning!

 

[Lynne G]

Hot and getting hotter. Early morning weather guy said today, unhealthy air, tomorrow hotter, Wednesday, HOT. Will send our sunshine to Paris.

We have bluegills for sale here. Nope from me. No fish in this home, except for sushi, that older one eats. I stay far away when he eats it. Even a small whiff of fish smell, eww. Oh well. We had very good steak on the grill last night, with fresh corn and sautéed some onions and orange peppers on grill too. So a no fish menu. But glad to hear Paris’s fish feast was delicious.

Ooh almost time for my lunchtime walk. Will be wearing that hat. So bright out. And a hehe, little one texted me a few minutes after she left. She had spilled her water bottle all over, including her shirt, so left her shirt on our stoop, and would I get it for her. I texted back, yes, but should have kept it on, would keep ya cool. LoL No answer, shirt was hung up, and within the 2 hours I hung it up, it’s dry. She was having Monday morning blues. But I think she’s just too ready to be done with camp work. Older one is relaxing mode today. Guess I’m going to have a grilled cheese for lunch.

They look delicious Lori. They look a little like piranhas before they are filleted, but they look like fish we`d enjoy. We all love fish in this house.

Glad you liked them and didn`t he do well!!! I think he`d love this fishing around the UK....so many varieties and choices. Fresh fish is indeed a pleasure. I think we are so spoiled having the best choices of surf and turf and anything in between in the UK.......Aberdeen Angus steaks are the best you can get, apart from Wagyu of course.

Yes, your grass and plants will be greener than ever with rain......ours is permanently green as we do get a lot of rain here........have a great day Lori, even if it is a slow start......hug those puppies if it gets too loud for them.





Beautiful walk this morning, warm with a lovely breeze which is perfect for us. Beach was filling up as we left this morning. It`s going to be a busy one down there again this week as weather is to stay lovely all week, apart from the odd rumble in the evenings.

Met some friends for coffee, well tea for me, this morning after we did some grocery shopping. This friend is one who knows everything that is going with everyone.....she`s funny though, she put one of our friends husbands in his place last weekend as he is a cheap tipper.....she told him he wasn`t shafting the waiter this time around and to open his wallet.....good for her.....he did eventually pay his share. Nothing worse than cheap tippers whe you`re out for a meal.

And we did get a cottage booked up in the village we love in the Cotwolds, with a suitable parking area for his baby......there were a couple available, but parking was in the road or public car parks a minute or so away. So, happy we are booked, not the place we would have really liked, but it looks nice enough and handy to walk to many pubs and restaurants in the evenings.

BBQ food tonight.......

 

[Robo56]

Good Monday morning Sans family

Hope you have a lovely steak dinner with your husband tonight, and some family celebrations to look forward to sound lovely.

Thank you Carole. We had a lovely steak dinner and the biggest margaritas I have ever seen. Drinks and meal were very good.

insurance won’t call a micro-burst a tornado upon pain of death. Triggers extra coverage lol. Our big one was 15 years ago. Tore off a good portion of porch roof too

Yep, some of those insurance Companies know how to make sure to pay as little as possible. Sorry to hear it was not covered.

nice! Happy happy to your DH. beautiful scenery btw!

Thank you.

Yay, pictures from Robo. Hope your DH had a nice birthday, and can’t go wrong with a steak dinner.

Thank you Lynne. You have a trip just around the corner with your daughter.

The charcuterie board was delish, and we did a decent job of clearing it, lol!
I plated the meats separate. One of my friends is a vegetarian....silly girl, but I still like her, lol!!!

Beautiful.

It seems I'm finally getting my sense of smell back again after having covid.

Glad to hear your smell is returning.

Even we aren`t eating the Jerk Chicken tonight....... I think I went overboard with the Scotch Bonnets.......wow!! Opened the doors in the kitchen as the chillies were so overpowering when they were cooking.....once cooked Tom tried one piece and almost spat it out......the heat blew the top of his head off.......so, he`s going to head off to the chippie for fish and chips. We didn`t fancy anything else in the house......

That reminds me of the cocktail sauce at St. Elmo’s Steakhouse in Indy. It is nuclear hot. Just a little tip of the fork in it and tasted will blow your sinuses out......LOL

bread turned out so good, I was happy with that. Made it with a Red Leicester cheese instead of cheddar, worked well. Didn`t go for cheeses in the end, stuck to meat, smoked salmon and shrimp.......and red wine.

WOW.....beautiful charcuterie boards.

Good for you! Was up at my youngest DS this evening to drop off my pooch. Walked into a surprise dinner & cake. Got me lol. I’m not a fan of surprises in most instances. Did notice his central AC was not as cool as usual. Perhaps the extra people or fact it’s been a hot spell.

Happy birthday. You deserve to be spoiled.







Safe travels to you and your Mr on your travels to Myrtle Beach.

Bluegill are quite small, normally weighing 4-7 ounces. They have firm, sweet flesh.....very nice eating!!
We polished off this batch in record time yesterday!

Your hubby had a nice catch of fish. Looks delicious.


Mac hope the dental work is moving along and all is well.


We finally got the rain we have been needing for awhile. It started raining in the wee hours of the morning and then a torrential down pour. It’s cleared off now and the sun has sprung through the clouds. I might take a walk today.

I was able to snag a ressie for Olga’s Cantina when at Galaxy’s Edge in September. Haven’t been in there yet. Have to a ressie to even walk in and look. I like Galaxy’s Edge. Will probably do a little Christmas shopping while in Galaxy’s Edge for the Star Wars fans in the family.

Going to cut out some material for masks a little latter.

Have a great Monday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Good afternoon Robo. Glad to hear his birthday dinner was good. And yeah, we do need rain sometimes. Hopefully not in Universal next week though. Yay, for getting your Olga reservation. Hope you are doing well and enjoying some coffee in your HHN mug.

 

[tink1957]

Hi everybody

to our lovely keisha...
I know that I post this every year but I love it!

Finally made our plans for HHN this year...private RIP tour booked and ROF so we're good to go.

The plan for today is shopping with my kids and going to the movies to see Jungle Cruise. To heck with housework.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day

 

[schumigirl]

Robbie....glad your weather is clearing nice enough to walk, love walking after the rain, something very cleansing about it.

Nice plans for your trip ahead, shopping is always nice. And you husbands birthday dinner sounded lovely, glad it was a success. I did try the Atomic Horseradish sauce at The Palm......holy moly......well, yes, this dish I cooked seemed a million scovilles hotter.....lol......have a great day!



Hey Vicki......good to see you!! Sounds like a good old way to spend the day.....yep, housework can wait......and congrats on the private tour booked!! Happy to hear it.....hope you`re all doing good and enjoy the movie.......




Enjoyed some lovely food tonight, nice and spicy but not blazing hot!!

Going to have some strawberry lemonade now.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Happy Birthday Keisha! Hope you’re having a lovely day.

Hope all are well and enjoying the summer.

We had a great vacation in Wales with lovely sunshine - just one day we got rain and luckily we had pre-booked the Ffestiniog Mountain Railway trip which was wonderful. Grandpa was kept very busy as we bought a small dinghy for the GC and they spent hours in the sea in their wetsuits. Much better than we expected and we were directly next to the sand dunes and the beach with Mount Snowdon behind us in the distance. We also bought a beach trolley which was great to load up and cart everything over to the beach.

We are kept busy sorting out all the legal things in the hope our persistence will bring quicker results.

Now we are home Kev is busy removing some trees and flower beds in the garden as he’s ordered a large workshop/shed to make himself a den! I’m organising a tree surgeon to get some of the stumps removed. Trying to get some jobs done this week as the GC are away until Friday.

Stay well all x

 

[schumigirl]

​

Yep, still sitting outside......tea just doesn`t cut it sometimes.......beautiful evening sitting near several lavendar bushes.....gorgeous.

Hoping Janet is well on her way and not too long till they get there and start a lovely trip.......

 

[Lynne G]

Julie, so good to hear from you and glad you had a lovely trip with the grandkids.

Nice you are enjoying the weather, Schumi.

Ooh was a hot feeling walk. More overcast now, but hope not rain until later in the evening, if any.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick mid-day stop in!

Well, our weekend plans changed. We headed to the city to see the kids and grand daughter. It was a great to see them again. Since they didn't get here last weekend like they planned to, and because it will be a few weeks again before we see them again...we decided to do a quick trip to see them this weekend.

We got to so swimming with them on Saturday. It was a great family facility...very similar to the facility here in town. Ours is a much bigger scale...but we had fun with her in the wave pool, lazy river...and this Grammie even took her down the kiddie slides lol. I love a good water park. As long as I can wear my glasses or put them on right after I go on a slide...I will do it!!!! I'm pretty blind without my glasses. We had a blast....then we took them all out for a nice supper as the grandbaby was hungry. She did great at the restaurant. Closer to the end of the meal...she was getting antsy...but with the marvel of phones and streaming services....We put on her favorite show...and she continued to eat and sit until we were all done. They do try to limit screen time....but it definitely helped not having a total toddler breakdown lol.

I'm not sure what this week has in store yet, but working the next couple of nights as well...so no free time until Wednesday night...and the vacation fund continues to grow a little bit each week.

I hope everyone has a great day....stay safe hommies!!!!!!!

 

[keishashadow]

Started the drive out in this mess today at 6:30 am. it stuck around for 3 hours made for slow going but, 2.5 hours to go! Had a quick stop fir coffee & gas/Cracker Barrel (needed a country ham fix) shoukd make it in with just just the noon stop


Thanks fir all the loverly BD wishes!!!

They look delicious Lori. They look a little like piranhas before they are filleted, but they look like fish we`d enjoy. We all love fish in this house.

LOL I’ve caught hundreds in my time. Must say I never quite made that association until now! So true

And we did get a cottage booked up in the village we love in the Cotwolds, with a suitable parking area for his baby......

Wonderful news

know that I post this every year but I love it!

it never gets old

Water parks are so fun with the grands. Well until they clamor for the speed slides
