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

[Pumpkin1172]

Though think they both have issues, Jack and her. Had to laugh though, when she said she got much less screen time with new fish movie, no chemistry. I think more like I thought in the first one, she was not a very good actress.

Yup, I giggled at that as well when it was mentioned at the trial.

I agree about they both had issues. Yes, living with a drug/alcoholic is NOT easy ( dh has been sober for almost15 yrs now) and their work is not traditional. Neither of them are innocent in this. NO marriage is perfect and no partner is perfect either. But she definitely crossed many lines!

Another beautiful evening. I went for a walk to get a lotto ticket. The city is doing construction in our area and the traffic to get around is And after I filled my car with gas last night...i nearly puked at how much that cost. I'll be double thinking about my trips to do errands. My last tank of gas lasted me 3 weeks even with driving to work everyday.

Alright, I'm going to try and scrounge up a snack.
I'll leave the light on for anyone who needs it.

He certainly did win!!





It was never about the money for Johnny Depp. He wanted his story out there, something he didn’t get to do in the UK trial

Loved his thank you statement where he acknowledged and thanked everyone involved. I think Ms Heard forgot her manners. The tone deafness of her snivelling statement was unbelievable, she was whooped and she knows it. Never seen a team so defeated looking.

Mr Chew and Ms Vasquez on the other hand were understated in their obvious joy and delight. Loved seeing Ben Chew wearing a Hollywood Vampires Tee shirt the other day.......




Bank Holiday weekend for us......Thursday and Friday are days off for most, so a lovely long weekend for so many to enjoy the various celebrations going on.

Hope to get the grill out again a couple of times as weather does look decent. Lovely so far……..sunrise was gorgeous this morning and it feels as if it’s going to be a warm one.

Stores should be avoided this weekend, so have a grocery delivery coming, farm store and butcher delivers too, so have placed orders with them all which means we don‘t need to venture out in the crowds for shopping.

Some time sitting in the garden next few days will be just lovely.














Have a lovely Thursday or weekend if it’s a 4 day one like we have in the UK

 

[schumigirl]

Come over to the UK……it doesn‘t get completely dark here in the summer unlike the USA………but, downside is, you don’t get as nice a weather as you do in the South……..

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, for the party already starting in England.

Don’t blame you for not braving crowds and not shopping, Schumi. Hope you had a nice time in the garden, and some orders have arrived already. Ooh, and some tea too.

Rainy day for me. I went to bed around 11 last night, and thought sometime after I drifted out to sleep, I heard rain pounding down for a few minutes, before going back to sleep. Those rain chances are still around this morning, with those place your bets thunderstorms, haha you lost, got soaked, lurking around in the afternoon. And the power couple of Northern air, and a cold front, makes a cooler day. 64 degrees out now, overcast, and 81 the high. So while the AC cranked most of last night, should be more quiet today.

But no matter, time of year is starting to be our warmest. For now, pants are only for the office. Shorts are on today. House feels cool, but that’s fine. Tea is hot, and a throw always near me. Glad I did not have to commute today, though. That alarm went off and I was like ugh. But then started my early day week day routine as usual. Well. remote for more then two years, and lately, and now going forward with a mostly telework schedule. After I get come from commuting, I realize I have no love for the traffic I get on the way home. Thus, grateful my office finally allows a maximum telework policy. Never thought I’d want it. But after teleworking being the only way for more than two years, my work has never changed. So as my work went all electronic accessed more than twenty years ago, as long as you have connection to a server, where all your work is located, well now in a cloud, does not matter where you are. And why, when the back to work started last month, was negotiated that to telework, you have to be within a 3 hour drive to your workplace. As expected to be around if mission requires in person. But a hehe, not at my work, but we know people that live much further South, and fly up for two days of work every two weeks. I’m sure there are cheap flights, so why not? But as we have been in our home for more than 30 years, and are 9 miles from my work, I don’t see me moving or spending much of my time, anywhere else until I retire. But I doubt we will ever sell our home.

Thirsty Thursday homies. Drink up, good for ya to have some water, or water based drinks.

Happy thirsty Thursday

Another beautiful sunny day - and of course it's beautiful and warm during the week. The forecast for the weekend is cool and rain, go figure. I have a feeling that this is going to be our summer.

I tried to sleep until my normal wake-up time, but the road construction crew in the neighborhood had other plans. They were at work EARLY. Sigh...the one crew that actually is working is the one in our neighborhood. A bit of a gong show with traffic as there is a school only a block away from our home - so LOTS of morning traffic. Thank goodness there is only 3-4 weeks of full-time school left - then traffic volume will be gone with summer being here. But I will say - it was extremely quiet last night with the road closures! I might like that aspect of it when sleeping with windows open at night

A chili lime chicken burrito bowl is on the menu tonight. The avocados are perfectly ripe - so it will be a yummy meal tonight. Nice and light!

Loved his thank you statement where he acknowledged and thanked everyone involved. I think Ms Heard forgot her manners. The tone deafness of her snivelling statement was unbelievable, she was whooped and she knows it. Never seen a team so defeated looking.

Mr Chew and Ms Vasquez on the other hand were understated in their obvious joy and delight. Loved seeing Ben Chew wearing a Hollywood Vampires Tee shirt the other day.......

I was soooooooooooo happy I was dancing in my desk chair with each yes they said! As always - his response was humble - just like his demeanor during the whole trial. He is such a gentleman. Miss Turd...well and then her lawyers statements are pulling at straws. The evidence they produced vs what she stated on the stand didn't add up!

We all could see that Johnny connected with his team and a different level than my Turd did with hers. She seemed to always be communicating with them in some way instead of just sitting back, listening, and try to NOT have a reaction.

All in all, it couldn't have turned out any better for Johnny! You are right - he stated it was never about the money. It was about regaining respect back and telling HIS story - which he got to do!

Bank Holiday weekend for us......Thursday and Friday are days off for most, so a lovely long weekend for so many to enjoy the various celebrations going on.

Enjoy!!!! I already told dh I will be watching whatever I can on the celebrations. Much of it is televised for us here. So I'll be watching right along with you. One day I will get to England to visit and tour around. It is on my bucket list!

But after teleworking being the only way for more than two years, my work has never changed.

It's great that the view of telework is changing! I know dd only goes into the office 1-2 days/week. For her, it works great! There are always some things that she will have to do in-person, but so much of her job can be done remotely.

I have a feeling corporations will be forced to change the way they view teleworking. It is going to be more and more common. And for those corporations why want to monitor and make sure people are " always working" like big brother - they might not be the business you need to work for. For me, that it s red flag. After working for companies that like to micromanage - I won't do that again. It really is not worth the money when my mental health is at stake.

Well, I should probably start to shuffle some papers around. My pile is small now that month end is complete.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Lynne G]

Peep! Hehe, trying to be a night owl. But fading fast. Did have some good rain bursts.

But as it’s quite dark out with the cloud cover, so will leave a light on for all.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Another beautiful day draws to a close.

Supper was a hit. I will definitely be making that again, and it will be a Friday night meal. Super easy to put together.
Also lots of smack talk happening tonight. Another game lost for our team. So the oddball bil was smack talking pretty bad. Next game is back on home ice- crossing my fingers it's a different story on home ice.

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday

Thanks for the light @Lynne G. I hate stubbing my toes in the dark.

Hope your weekend weather improves......it`s just nice to be able to get out and about when you`re not working as you like.....weather does make a difference for sure.

Yep, celebrations all over the UK this weekend.....although for Sunday and all the street parties, weather might affect them. Our village hall will be busy if it rains, but larger towns might not have that option......praying for sunshine for everyone to celebrate the Jubilee. Watching the Queen yesterday look so happy was just wonderful.







Another lovely day ahead.....maybe not as much sunshine as yesterday, but think we`ll still manage to grill outside for lunch and dinner. We have plenty of food in so we don`t need to shop at all.

Got plenty in if anyone drops in too which is always lovely. Doing some baking this morning too and I have loads of rosemary so will pop in some bread too, we like it in focaccia especially.

Will watch some of the service of Thanksgiving this morning even though sadly the Queen isn`t attending, and hopefully then some time in the garden if it stays warm enough.

It`s nice so many have today off too, a lovely 4 day weekend for most.

Even though every day is like a weekend to us......that Friday feeling is still good!

Happy Friday

Happy Friday

I am a happy girl it's Friday! It's been a busy week, and it flew by, but I am also happy to see the weekend arrive with a couple of days off. Not sure what I will do to keep busy with rain in the forecast. I guess we will see what the weekend has in store.

It's going to be a sunny warm day here, so I'll take that! All the men in the house were talking about having a fire in the firepit and roasting some hotdogs and smokies for a meal. Tonight, might be the night. I might have to text dh and make sure he got a new fire permit

Watching the Queen yesterday look so happy was just wonderful.

She looked wonderful and it was so nice to see her out and smiling! I am now currently catching up on all the festivities that happened while I was sleeping. I am looking forward to tomorrow's festivities.

Not sure what I am going to do to keep me busy today, my pile of papers is pretty small.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Lynne G]

Friday! Yay! Lazy one, did some errands, now getting gas, and ooh pizza lunch I think.

Sounds a fun weekend for you Pumpkin, shame it`s going to rain, but Happy Friday all the same.

Yes, she looked amazing......the years seemed to disappear when she was watching that flypast.......wonderful woman.





Had the nicest day in the garden for the most part. It`s not overly warm, but not cold and in the sunshine, it`s beautiful. A couple of friends dropped in and we managed to sit outside for tea and cakes and have a good old chat.

Grill is out tonight too, made spicy beef kebabs, teriyaki chicken and some thai chicken skewers with the usual salads and did sliced baby potatoes in foil with garlic, rosemary and a ton of butter in each parcel........diet friendly of course......

Back inside now as the breeze is up a little, so time for a pot of tea with some delightful jubilee cakes I made this morning, not the prettiest as my friend pointed out, but didn`t stop her eating them!!

Quiet weekend for us generally, although there are some lovely Jubilee events planned all over the United Kingdom this weekend.........it`s been lovely having such a warm feeling with the Platinum Jubilee around the country.

 

[Charade67]

Quick study break post. I have a quiz, 2 tests, and an editing assignment all due on Monday.

Mom was released from the hospital today. The kept her for a couple of nights because in addition to the broken wrist it was discovered that she also had a UTI.

I am trying to decide if I want to go ahead and take one of my tests now, or wait until tomorrow.

 

[Lynne G]

If wide awake, I’d take the test, otherwise do it tomorrow, when feel peppy ready to take it, Charade. Glad to hear mom out of hospital. Ugh to infection, but at least they caught it, and she probably got medicine for it. Hope she’s not in pain with the break if her wrist.

Hehe, DH got me up at 6 this morning, and I said it’s my lazy Friday. Made him breakfast and gave him food for his mom, then went back to lay down, as was yawning. Little one woke me up at 10:30.

Chinese for dinner. Was hot and delicious.

Now just chilling, but getting tired.

So light one, as ooh those that need a light for a bathroom stop or kitchen raid.

 

[Charade67]

Decided to go ahead and take the test while everyone else was asleep. Finished the test around 1:30. Scored 184/200. I’ll take it. Now I need to wind down before I can get some sleep.

Well done on the test Charade!! Sounds like you`ll do very well on the subjects you`ve taken.

And glad your mum is out of hospital, I`m sure her UTI will be clear quickly, meds usually work well and fast, so hope she`s not too uncomfortable. Hope you have a good sleep tonight.






Slept like a rock last night, but woke up to no sunshine this morning, so no garden time today I think.

Bacon on toast for breakfast this morning and think it might be takeout tonight.......might opt for Thai food or maybe Indian, definitely spicy food for sure.

Plan to do a little more baking today and some little jobs around the house as well as a little jubilee event, hopefully the rain won`t stop it.

But, still love a Saturday........

Happy Saturday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, Charade. Good score, and hope you got to sleep soon after.

Ah, high weather system has arrived, and a gloriously sunny start to my Saturday. Sorry to hear not for Schumi, so hope your afternoon will be some nicer weather to enjoy a stroll in the garden.

We will have a most beautiful late Spring day. Full day of sun, with 83 the high. Perfect.

Ooh the dove has been cooing. I guess saying how nice a day it is already.

And while can hear traffic, it’s definitely an early morning weekend day. Sunday, early mornings are even quieter.

And a quiet house. Ahh, I so love that. And so, wash had been started, and breakfast pancakes with bacon was made. Will take that long hot shower later, after the towels are out of the dryer.

Hehe, house feels almost cool, so filled that teapot just about full. Tea being enjoyed with channel surfing, as late night and early morning, crap on some TV channels.

Older one works, so it will be a little one and me day. DH is now almost daily, being that good son.

Super happy Saturday homies. May you have a most relaxing day, and good weather.

 

[macraven]

My days blend together so always happy when homies post what day of the week it is
Lol

The joys of being ladies of leisure mac ........I always struggle with what day it is, so always like a reminder too........






Went down to the village earlier and saw the huge screens being put up for showing the Jubilee Concert tonight on the village green, going to be quite a crowd watching it there. Bit too chilly for us, so it`s on our big screen at home.

Had Thai food delivered and ate far too much of it, but it was delicious all the same. Tried an extra dish that they had added...a whole filleted seabass in various spices instead of their usual Thai Red Curry sauce......it was nice, but prefer the sauce.........so we had four dishes to nibble through which really is too much for two. Lots in the trash as we just couldn`t finish it.

So, glass of red wine and Jubilee concert for us tonight.

 

[Lynne G]

With a beautiful day, saw bride sign with lots of streamers on neighbor’s huge car. Guess a family member of the family there, couple with younger kids, so who ever had a most perfect wedding day.

Burgers on the grill, and not to light oven, so a handful of fries and onion rings in the air fryer, yay for sides. Yum. Beached right now. Was delicious.

And so, that what crap on tv tonight. May pop in a movie, maybe not. Older one should be home in another hour. We have burgers for him. If he doesn’t want to air fry, there’s Chinese food leftover, so I’m sure that would be just as good a side for him.

So hope all have that most peaceful Saturday night. No disco dancing here. LoL
