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

@soniam my son is Alexander too. Still one of my favourite names it is running through our family as a second name - I like to think because he’s such a lovely man. Always funny stories from DIL of all friends saying how lucky she is with her husband. She says even the dog and new baby (Xander) prefer his company!

Charade do you have Netflix? Watched an excellent mini series last night called “Mrs Wilson”. Based on a true story and as often the case truth is stranger than fiction.

Hello Buckeev hope you are all doing well.

Beautiful morning here. I took Louie out on my own yesterday but hoping Kev will join me today before he returns to the garden!

I’ll join the gang and say it will be bacon here for brunch. As Schumi says our butcher/farm shop bacon is totally different to most of our supermarket bacon. However on Keto I eat the “streaky” end of the rasher for more fats and do like it well cooked.

How is everyone’s weather doing now?
 


Charade, yeah, seems to be a very common happening as your body fights the virus. Think Schumi lost her sense of taste and smell when she had the virus.

I certainly did LG.....that and the cough were nasty together......


I just read that quite a few that had the covid virus had a temporary loss of smell and taste

knowing how much I love food, I’d still be over eating

lol.....it was the strangest thing. With a general cold you still usually have some sense of smell, but zilch. I was spraying perfume like crazy but couldn`t smell a thing.....still managed to eat though.......

Appears that Ghosts of videos past have come back to haunt them

Oh, nooooooo :hug:

Ridiculous that instead of a civil ‘get well soon’, in some quarters it’s considered ok to berate a person over being sick. Not cool or kind IMO.

When I had cats as pets, always gravitated to selecting ‘black panthers’. Think they are beautiful

most kennels stop adoptions of them soon to try to protect them from Halloween wackos


It does look like ham/Canadian bacon. I’m sure it tastes completely different tho. Smoking process can definitely make or break American bacon. A lower flame & a press also helps keep it curling up like a piggy tail I cringe when I see it all spiraled up when eating out, devil is in those details

glad to hearthe anniversary celebration is still in full swing!

Yes, the variety Not to be confused with that in an egg McMuffin

Ugh!!! It just keeps piling up on you. Sorry, hope you turn the corner very soon. Rest up & drink lots of fluids

I`ve never had an egg mcmuffin. But, haven`t been in a McDonalds for over 20 years, maybe longer.

Yes, always smoked bacon here for us, locally produced or from select places we can order from. Not sure what grocery store stuff is like in America, but here, it`s filled with water and some nasty stuff exudes from it when cooked......not appetising at all. I did try Canadian bacon once, wasn`t really a fan, but would try it again.

Yep, ongoing celebrations......the "Keisha" factor in play there.......lol......

I had heard a few aspersions against the Trackers, but generally don`t pay vloggers any attention.

Have a nice day today........



Gutted to hear my Goddughters wedding is cancelled next weekend, not as gutted as them. 4 of the wedding party are positive for Covid and the Groom is showing symptoms, then we heard the hotel they were planning to get married in have had a "small" outbreak.

She is very much her mothers daughter and is taking it all in her stride and already reorganising for next year. Her fiancee works abroad so looks like it might be April or May next year. We were only going up for the wedding and leaving next day as we couldn`t get the hotel any longer. But, now it`s cancelled anyway. Just spoke to her and she`s very pragmatic about the whole thing in her usual way.

Slept late this morning and had some toast to keep us going till we arrive at friends house for the brunch. I will be starving by the time we get there, Tom`s the opposite as he can go all day without food.

Lovely sunny day, so already have all the bedding out on the line and it`ll be dry by time we get home today.

Have a wonderful Sunday :flower3:
 
Good morning. I'm up early again because I am still not sleeping well. Today will probably be another day spent on the sofa in front of the TV.

Charade do you have Netflix? Watched an excellent mini series last night called “Mrs Wilson”. Based on a true story and as often the case truth is stranger than fiction.
I don't have Netflix anymore, just Amazon and DIsney+. I do need to find something new to watch.

lol.....it was the strangest thing. With a general cold you still usually have some sense of smell, but zilch. I was spraying perfume like crazy but couldn`t smell a thing.....still managed to eat though.......
That's exactly how it is with me. I can't smell anything. I keep going to the kitchen to decide what to eat, but what does it matter when you can't taste it.?

Gutted to hear my Goddughters wedding is cancelled next weekend, not as gutted as them. 4 of the wedding party are positive for Covid and the Groom is showing symptoms, then we heard the hotel they were planning to get married in have had a "small" outbreak.
That's awful. Hoping for quick recoveries for all involved. Glad to hear that she isn't letting it get her too down.

I'm going to try to get some more sleep.
 
Happy Anniversary Schumi. Hope you enjoy that champagne, as so perfect a celebration of love to have it. And oh no, to hear of the virus news causing a wedding cancellation. But with the times, it does make sense to delay, once again, and hope the groom feels well soon.

Julie, we have a cloudy day, but a little warmer start, as with a cloudy overnight, the heat from the sunny day yesterday, doesn’t leave like it does with a clear sky. But rain chances are to hold off until the wee hours of tomorrow. So nice enough day, in low 70’s, and all are looking forward to enjoying some family time. I hope your walk with Louie included Kev joining you. And bacon? Yum.

Oh Charade, I hope you get more sleep, and find something interesting to watch. Sending more mummy dust well wishes you get well very soon.

And so, a Super serenely happy Sunday.

Our Sunday will be a but different routine than our usual Sunday. With the holiday Monday, our Sunday routines will happen tomorrow. Yep, that get the trash out, and ready for week day routine a day later. So, relaxing, enjoying extended family time, and food coma will be today. Yep, a most excellent agenda this Sunday. Woot!

Good Morning homies.

🌥 :wave2: from this cloudy starting morning having homie.
 


Morning all. Just sitting here listening to 1970s radio songs which brings back great memories.

I hope everyone has a great day and Charade I will probably do the same thing today...hanging out on the couch watching television.
 
Happy Anniversary to Carole & Tom, who obviously read the rule book

sounds as tho the couple is taking it all in stride but, talk about unfortunate timing.

having family for cook out today. Weather isn’t exactly cooperating for pool time, will likely have break out PS5 & let them go at it

have a good day all!
 
:wave2:
Got stuff to do and need to stop the procrastination.
Lots of get well wishes to give out! Hope those ailing do feel better soon.
and a happy anniversary and probably some birthdays too-hope those special days were fabulous!
Got to get the fall coop cleaning done today- gorgeous day, no humidity and sunny. Get it fixed up for winter. Especially as I came home to close chickens up one night and found this5B6230AE-411A-4FA8-92FA-09AB93E1821E.jpegyep that’s a nice snake all curled up but the nesting boxes. Wouldn’t even had known he was there but had to pull the broody hen out of box. She refused to sit on bar so she sat inside with me until hubs got rid of snake! Dog RAN when I screamed. I thought it was a feather in the dark (before I turned my light in) and tried to brush it out and the thing moved. Then a couple days ago a small young fox was in backyard. Chickens screeching up a storm from high perches on all sides. The thing was crouched in middle of yard terrified. My birds aren’t easy meals! Dog chased him round and round the yard.Think dog wanted to play as fox turned at one point and hissed/growled-dog wagged his tail and tried to get him to play. Some watchdog. Not sure how the thing even got into yard as fenced all around.
3 day (or more) weekend for us in States-

Be well and looking forward to seeing many in a couple weeks!
 
Thank you for the anniversary wishes......appreciate them.....Todd and Janet.....LOVE the memes....... :flower3:





Charade.......hope you`re doing better today and keep improving, it`s so hard when you cannot sleep. I always think you can deal with most things if you are sleeping well..... yes, I hope they are all doing ok from the wedding party. Got a txt from goddaughter while we were out, seems they are all having relatively mild symptoms, but all feeling miserable of course.

And yes, it`s miserable eating when nothing tastes good.



Lynne, yes, it absolutely makes sense to change the dates, well, they don`t really have a choice, but she is more upbeat about it than I thought she would be.



mac....I might drag the wedding DVD out sometime this week......😁




Janet....hope the weather improves and your get together is fabulous, I`m sure it will be and enjoy that food! Do love that meme!





Had a wonderful day with a group of friends today. Brunch was amazing and we definitely ate our body weight in food! Our friend who hosted it for us made a cake and I was glad to see it wasn`t chocolate.....it was delicious. And they got us some lovely gifts. Not major gifts as none of us really do anniversary presents unless it`s a special one, but nice all the same.

Day lasted longer than planned as our get togethers usually do, but so much fun, everyone had such a good time and nice to have groups back together again.

It was nice enough to sit outside for most of the day, but some of us did go in to watch the Grand Prix, which was fun too.

Going to watch Inisdious 2 tonight. Doubt we`ll have any alcohol as we enjoyed some bubbly all day.

Hope your Sunday is a good one and thank you again for the wishes........
 
1st time in, well, forever; I’m sitting here twiddling thumbs All prep work done, even scrubbed kitchen floor

since we know all are safe, will say that is a rather comical account. just say no to snakes.

honestly, find myself lingering just a bit longer the few times out & about. Well, unless there are obviously reckless types about. Not difficult to pick that sort out, as most tend to start in early, braying on their viewpoints From the get-go. :confused3 I guess it’s a good thing in general for them to come out with it but, whatever happened to ‘cocktail conversation’?
 
Charade no wonder you don’t feel like eatting! Hope taste & smell return soon. Remember to stay hydrated. Glad to hear family is ok. I can’t imagine what those therapists at work are doing without you! Maybe they’ll realize how much you do and give you a big fat raise!
Have you watched See? I think it’s on Apple TV. Jason Momoa- need I say more? Lol. It’s been awhile since I watched season 1, think it had some strange parts but Jason M makes up for it lol!

Buckeev :wave2:

Soniam I adore sea scallops yum! I’d have those over a steak any day.

Schumi our Canadian bacon has a light cornmeal coating usually. Don’t know why. And def not what’s in egg mc muffin! Lol.

Metro- ooooo I used to love those garlic knots at US Italian restaurants. It’s not a thing here.

Monica o_O you’d be able to hear my scream from there!

Well fam dinner last night was interesting. Husband made a shepherds pie cause it’s his brothers fav and our friends too. When he took it out of the oven pot holder slipper and everything went splat over the floor. Brother phoned for Chinese! As the saying goes, **** happens.

Off to the movies with oldest daughter, going to see Legend of the 10 rings!
 
Good Sunday Afternoon Sans family :wave2:

Robo cute kitty but what an opportunist lol! Hanging out under the bird feeder! No outdoor kitties in my neck of the woods. If there are, they don’t last long. Too many coyotes here.

I have read recently someone on the neighborhood site posted that they saw a coyote around here. Who knows.


Hope you are doing much better health wise too......it`s not too long till you`re away on your next trip......always exciting!

Thank you Feeling a lot better, but still have a lingering cough. I had that when I last had bronchitis. Hope it resolves soon.


Mine likes to sit in front of the window and watch the birds. Unfortunately sometimes he tries to attack the birds. That's why we had to get new blinds a few months ago.

LOL......Good thing your cat can’t get out or it would be bringing you presents too.


I have lost my sense of taste and smell. This is a really strange feeling.

So sorry to hear that. Granddaughter lost her sense of taste and when she had Covid.

Sending prayers for you and get well wishes that it does not last long.


And a cute pic of baby Yoda sending a get well force.

So sorry to hear your goddaughter had to put her wedding on hold. This Covid has really played havoc with folks wedding plans.


that’s a nice snake all curled up but the nesting boxes. Wouldn’t even had known he was there but had to pull the broody hen out of box.

That’s a big snake.

There are a couple things from the Mouse House on and around the tree. Can you spot them? I need to add some things from Universal on the Tree.


We got a good rain storm yesterday. Cooled things to the lower 70’s, but humidity is still high.

I need to get out for a walk. I will use this sign. As my motivator.......LOL

Need to get scootin before I talk myself out of it. Which would not be hard to do today.......LOL.....I suddenly feel the need for a good nap.
