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

[schumigirl]

Beautiful Thursday morning here....sun is shining and feels warm, so planning to head out a walk along the front again even though there is cloud coming over the hills behind us that might just block that lovely sunshine. But the view the other way out to sea is gorgeous.

No rain forecast today, but that breeze is building up again........not more winds surely! Not the best weekend coming up weather wise.

There are two breakfast muffins left, so I`ll have one of them and some fruit for breakfast, turkey with salad sandwiches for lunch and I`m having spicy chicken, pineapple, zucchini and ginger stir fry for dinner tonight.....not sure what Tom wants with his, but not ginger......

Need to do some grocery shopping today too, won`t take long as I think it`s only one store we want to visit today, then a farm store for all our veg and home again.

Time for a pot of tea though....good old English breakfast, can`t beat it.

Happy Thirsty Thirsday​

Ooh am I too late for that tea, Schumi?

Probably am, as Schumi is almost at lunchtime now. But I do have tea. Enjoying some now, as I too put that teapot on the stove as part of every day. Little one bought lemons, so decided to slice one up, and put a slice in my tea. Sometimes I like to add it.

And with the talk of tea, it’s a Thirsty Thursday. So enjoy a beverage or two today.

Well, the weather news was right. Woke up a few times as downpours heard. The loudest, with thunder was the last, around 4:15 am, but was gone by 4:30 am. Could hear it rumbling away.

Quietly inside, but outside, roads still sound wet, and the dove has been cooing, and birds have been chirping, so I guess the all clear. With all that rain in the overnight, about an inch of rain as said by early weather news, and because of that, flood warnings are issued. But hope no flooding near me, and I’m happy. At least that rain was like a car wash. And my car needed it. One bird must have had the runs, as bird poop sprayed across the side windows, and some that the windshield wipers couldn’t reach, but I could see it near the top of the driver’s side. They should be all gone. Thankfully.

And even though a cold front brought that rain, we are still going to see 80 on the thermometer this afternoon, with the sun returning by lunchtime, to burn up whatever wet there still is.

So a cloudy and slightly damp start, but a gloriously sunny end. Sounds like an almost Summer day.

So, not much news, but so happy tomorrow is a Friday. After a three week day routine week, last week, this week feels like it’s taking it’s time. But as your wake up after enjoying a drink today, you can keep the celebration going, with a Friday feeling when you wake up tomorrow. Ready for that.

But as house feels a little cool, I’ll be drinking my tea for some time. Kinda fitting for a Thursday. Yay!

Have a most terrific Thirsty Thursday.

Usually, right after car is freshly waxed here. in my family a bird’s calling card upon your self or item was considered good luck. Famy a superstitious lot, yet no clue where that idea came from

Softball game for GD ran late. First time I’ve seen one stretch into true dusk, when seeing ball was difficult on away field out in God’s country that had no lighting. Lucky some kid didn’t get hurt, let alone all walking back thru rutted field & gravel lot to our vehicles. Poop for brains

No idea on dinner today. Will open overstuffed upstairs side by side & see what falls out on floor I guess Hope it’s not hotdogs

 

[Lynne G]

I wish meant luck Keisha! LoL I vote no hotdogs. Hope a steak falls out. LoL

A thirsty Thursday stop in!

Fitting that I'm drinking a gatorade this afternoon. No migraine - just wanted something other than water today - after my morning tea of course

It's sunny gloriously warm day today! I ran to home depot to pick up one more big pot planter as dh thought he could get of mine that I had - and I bought enough flowers to fill that one. It felt soooo great to have some warmth! I now know why I struggle when our weather is cool, cold and downright deep freeze temps!

DD wants us to come visit this weekend. I know youngest ds wants to do a trip to the big city with us as he wants/needs to purchase a few items. But we also have our Garth concert in 2 weeks. That would make 3 trips in 4 weeks . The price of gas considering it's a 4.5 hr drive to get there I guess there will be no extra padding the savings account if we make the trip this weekend. We will decide tonight.

Well, I should shuffle a few more papers or do a little shredding.

Have a great day everyone!

Playing ketch-up here..

Been a busy day for me but have caught up on how every one has been doing.

I have learned to speed read…..so I am
not two days behind to see how all doing

 

[keishashadow]

Hope a steak falls out. LoL

Burgers for all, had fresh pineapple = teriyaki one for me, yum.

We will decide tonight

seize the Day trip

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels if you do go Pumpkin.

Hehe, was burger night here too Keisha. Ours were cheeseburgers on the grill with green beans and pasta. Was going to do rice, but little one wanted pasta, so there ya go. No one complained about no rice, and ate the pasta.

Ooh bedtime for me. DH has already been past out for two hours, so I can see him being restless tonight. Ugh, I hate when he goes to bed early.

But there’s a smile. Tomorrow is Friday. Yes! Woot! Payday one too. Woot!

 

[Lynne G]

Night light in honor of new house notice for HHN. Bet Schumi is happy to see that white mask guy again. So have a good night.

Yes, it`s a weird one......it`s supposed to be the same if a bird poops on your shoulder, or wherever......it`s considered lucky??? My grandma used to always say.....muck for luck......lol....you do wonder where that notion came from.

I`d still go pumpkin......chance to see your granddaughter is priceless and a nice family trip is always nice.

lol....I know.....if you miss reading for a day or so sometimes you can have 4 pages to catch up on......

Oh that sounds good......love teriyaki anything!!




Breeze is building, but sun is shining brightly, so another walk this morning. I do have a blister on my heel which I`ve covered with molefoam bought in America as the stuff we get over here isn`t as good, too thin. So hopefully that`ll be enough to not make it any worse.

Should be getting 20+ mph winds this afternoon, so will get out this morning before it gets up, should be less this morning, but being right beside the sea we feel that breeze briskly!

Think I might make char sui pork spring wraps, fiddly, but nice and with a nice mixed salad will be fresh and light. I think it`ll be far too windy to get the bbq out.

But, Friday it is.......after my pot of tea, will have breakfast later, then head out our walk when sleeping beauty gets up........

Have a lovely Friday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Fabulous Friday all.

Hope your walk was nice this morning and your pot of tea was perfect, Schumi.

Yay, a Friday is here.

Sunny start, but those clouds arrive, to make it a mostly cloudy day. Though 82 degrees makes it nice. But now, 51 degrees, and house feels a bit cool. All over our local news, tornado was confirmed just North of us, in the next to us state. A one in the scale, so was some damage, but no one hurt or died. Well we were rocking and rolling the other night.

And so, alarm turned off and tea ready.

Weekend ready to commence. Woot!

Shorter day for me, with longer lunch. Yay!

 

[keishashadow]

Going to get (some of) my chores done and hit the pool raft.

Idly watching the AM news while i kill the 2nd cuppa of they day. Now that the Depp/Heard trip is over, thot it would be slow for a hot minute with no RL soap opera to follow. Nope, 1st night of prime time Senate hearings were fascinating but, Brittany Spears came to the rescue for much needed hot mess levity. Nothing like having the first ex of 55 hours showing up/crash wedding and cause havoc.

Have a great one all. Need to get at it and play freezer roulette again. Mama needs some french fries

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, that was weird news, Keisha. Her first, very short marriage so many years ago. You just have to ask why? I’m sure she never kept in touch with him since they broke up. I hope she is happy, as what happened to her, deserved to finally have a happy ending. Pool time? Yay!

Well no clouds blocking the sun yet. Love seeing the sunshine pouring through my window. Woot!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

It's Friday It calls for the dancing banana lol

It's cool and cloudy here today. The forecast is not great for the weekend. I guess yesterday was the hot(ish) day for the week. They are calling for rain again today.

We decided to stay home this weekend. We have a few small projects we needs to get done so that we can have a fantastic summer. I told dd last night, we will be coming 2x this month yet, plus probably one weekend in July, then we have a week together in August - and maybe a camping trip on the August holiday weekend. So many get together times once these next two weekends are gone.

The one major task we need to do is replace the bunks on the boat trailer. It is an easy enough job - if the old ones come off easily and there are no stubborn rusty bolts and other parts once we actually get the boat off the trailer. Good thing I work at a business where I have access to cranes that can actually lift that boat up, so that dh and boys can easily change them out, and if needed they can have the right tools and materials close to do it. It's a simple enough job - when the boat isn't sitting on them on the boat trailer

I am not sure what else is planned for this weekend, but I am sure we will find things to keep us busy.

Well, my tea is done which is my signal to start shuffling some papers around.
Have a great day everyone!

lol....there`s always something!

The Sauvage adverts have started back on tv now, depsite Dior backing him the ads were silently not shown. Good to see him back......he`s been all round the UK recently,......missed every one of them!!

How`s that tea kettle working out for you???? It`s funny, they`re not a thing over here at all......but yours sounds lovely.

Cold dinner for us tonight.....boiling hot, but too breezy to get the BBQ out........enjoy those french fries!!




Pumpkin....sounds a lovely weekend you have planned, and yes, you have loads of time going forward and hope you don`t get any rain!

Have a good one........






Yep, good news on no testing anymore to get into the USA......lots of happy folks over here!!

Gorgeous day here, but my goodness it`s breezy......lot of washing on the line was dried in no time at all, ironed and put away, my favourite thing to do with laundry!

Yep, salad tonight for dinner, no cooking except I made some potato salad and cous cous...spicy of course!

Love a Friday.........

 

[Pumpkin1172]

I was VERY happy to hear that! It will definitely make trips easier and less stressful.

Yum! I LOVE a good potato salad!

We are having burgers and salad tonight. It's an easy meal on a Friday night and it seems like Fridays I really don't want to cook. I asked youngest ds to pick up some buns when he is done his shift. I love that now if I need something he can pick it up and bring it home.

Well, off to shuffle more papers.

 

[macraven]

Had a busy day for errands
Decided to do the gym, then grocery shopping and one more task and now back home and now I can just watch the grass grow….

Relaxing on our screened in back porch watching the cows in the pasture across the street

Yay for it being Friday!

Hope all the homies are doing good!

 

[keishashadow]

Yeah, that was weird news

Strange day for news, Justin beiber’s having some health issues too

It calls for the dancing banana

Always welcome

The Sauvage adverts have started back on tv now

Nice to see them again, the wolf reminds me of one of my long departed keeshonds

How`s that tea kettle working out for you????

Well, i managed to soak it, I’m weird as to cleaning metals before using. Looks so pretty, beautiful cherry red enamel, sorta hate to set It upon the stove lol.

Yep, salad tonight for dinner, no cooking except I made some potato salad and cous cous...spicy of course!

I settled upon tuna salad for me, tossed in some dried cranberries and tweaked it a bit to shake things up. whipped up a Greek sort of pasta salad for myself using odds & ends from tHe week. Mr is getting grilled shrimp and cajun noodles

Yum! I LOVE a good potato salad!

I’m quite leery of eating potato salad that’s not my own. Pasta salad I appreciate inventiveness and not using same old, same old mayo Based dressing.

potato salad, I want the classic version, thankyouverymuch. i’ve been unpleasantly surprised by some of the stuff I’ve found in potato salads at pot lucks.

Relaxing on our screened in back porch watching the cows in the pasture across the street

Moo to you! Sounds so relaxing. I gave up on the pool when the clouds rolled in, got chilled. Used to that warmer southern weather from last week i guess

 

[macraven]

Where is soniam?

She has not been posting and is missed here!


So are many more that have not dropped in!

I have been counting noses and hope the homies will give us a shout out….

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Slow, sloooowwww, ssssssssssllllllllllllloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww day here. The phone isn't even ringing. If I knew I wasn't going to use some banked holiday time over the summer, I would be leaving work early today. It just makes for a long day.

No rain. The clouds went away but it is super windy now. I don't think it will be a sit outside and enjoy the weekend type of night.

Counting the minutes now until 4:30.
