Happy Sunday. Another lazy one for us.
Church this morning, then lunch with friends. Will spend most of the rest of the day watching football.
Our weather forecast is crazy for next week. Look at the difference between Tuesday and Thursday.

I have to let my hair dry naturally. If I use a blow dryer it just gets frizzy. Maybe I need a diffuser.
Good to see you back. Hope you have a great time next week.
I thought it was a little slow to start, but did eventually get into the series. We have now started watching Wanda Vision. Really weird.

Cold night here. Sleet hitting the window earlier now it has turn into sparse flurries.
Spaghetti was a hit. It will be even better tomorrow. French bread came out pretty good. It was a little dense but not bad for my first attempt. I blame my oven . I need a new one terribly. I think I am going to start looking for one soon. The french bread loaf did not make great garlic bread but was good when it was right out of the oven with a slab of butter.
Love David Suchet as Poirot. He was made for the role.
I got into the same routine as your friend. Before you know it the day is gone and you have nothing to show for it. It was nice at first but I developed a routine that desperately needed to be changed.
I am going to stick with it. With all the rave reviews, I can only hope it gets better. I have seen the previews for Wanda Vision but haven't watched it yet.
I am not big on fudge either....unless it is peanut butter. I could eat my weight in peanut butter fudge.
I don't think my mom will be getting her show anytime soon. The health department is booked until the middle of February so unless her gp gets some vaccines, I think it will be a while.
Hope you have a good week too, Carole!
I hope someone has bacon for us in the morning.
Just as long as it is not crispy, not doing chewy foods yet
I’m tired of mashed potatoes and peas.
I was hopeful that my county would be able to do the vaccines this month for us but they still are just doing them for first responders.
Limited delivery of the vaccine in my area.
Quite possible it will be late February before group 1A will start.
and possible it could be March instead.
How many here have been able to score on the shot?
You can answer tomorrow as it’s time to tuck all the homies into bed and lights out...
Good thing I forgot and left the light on when I left this room 30 minutes ago!
Would not have wanted Schumi to have stumbled in the dark and dropped the bacon....
(on the other hand, I have been known to eat food that has fallen on the floor )

Thank you everyone for the get well wishes for my granddaughter. She is still recovering from Covid. She had the gamut of symptoms. She is still a little congested and has lost her taste and smell also. Her fiancé now has it and he is having the run of the symptoms too. He has not lost his taste or smell though.
I’am up very early this morning. Will try to go back and get another couple hours sleep shortly.
Schumi great news that your mom is in line to get her shot.
Hope bobbie68 and family had a great trip down to Florida. The sunshine should be bright and the weather has warmed up nicely.
Looks like everyone is busy making yummy food and baked goods.
Sending out get well wishes to all who are sick or who have family members who are sick.
I have been pretty lazy this last week so I need to get out of the doldrums and pick up the pace this week.
We had a rocket take off yesterday morning. It had been delayed a couple of days. Was not able to see it in the distance do to low cloud cover but heard it. Watched it on Launch Console took some pics off of that.

Back to bed.
Oooh, Schumi always has me at bacon. Yep, none hit our floors either. And most of the time, it gets eaten fast. Yep, many times my dinner decision is made after a pantry check right before dinner time. As in, not sure what our dinner will be either.
Oh Mac, hope more solid food you can eat soon. Ice cream should feel good. Hugs, and well wishes to you.
Joining Schumi in the below freezing temp club. Seems my thermometer says 4F degrees warmer than Schumi. Sun does not arise until an hour later. The effects of an early bird routine homie. But at least the sunset is after 5 pm now. But it seems darker by 4:30 pm. Which means, had I been commuting, would be dark drive in the morning and almost dark drive home. But, still very thankful both sunrise and sunset can be viewed from my teleworking home desk’s window, for more than 10 months.
Nope Mac, my family not on the current list, though DH has the best chance to get the shot. Hope you can get it soon. Seems you are going to Florida when the are now stopping anyone in Florida could get the shot. Now requiring proof of residence. Hope you get some relaxing while there starting tomorrow. Safe travels.
Woot! Bobbie and family should be in their new home now. Hope the caravan’s travel was good, and all went well with getting the keys quickly.
Robo, hope you are also doing well. Some days, just nice to enjoy the day with nothing scheduled. Hope the warmer weather has come, and having a nice cup of coffee in tour HHN mug. And, eek, you were up with me. Hope you got back to sleep. Sorry to hear your granddaughter and her fiancé are having symptoms. Sending lots of well wishes mummy dust to them both.
Cam, yep, all bread is good with some butter on it. Hope your routine is back for both you and DH soon.
And so, the week day routine has started. Yeah:

Sigh. Thinking of making this a shorter week. With a snow filled double chance of snow this week, thinking a four day one, with Friday off is the right thing to do.
But either way, yep, it’s a Monday. That ever loving tea is in my cup, well, mug, and enjoying a quiet enough house. DH is actually quiet for a bit. Kids, yep, smart college kids. Lunchtime classes today. Both are sleeping even though their parents are working, and wide awake.
Marvelous Monday morning homies. May all have a good Monday. Smile, next week, we will be in the month of love. ❤
Yes, it is time to do that search for a quick breakfast. And a tea refill. Later homies.
Great pictures Robo. Hope the family recover soon. It took me a good while and still not my “normal” energy levels.
We woke to more snow this morning but roads ok so I managed to finally get to the bank as I had cheques to pay in. Bottle of milk and fresh bread was the only other things needed and back home. Have a click and collect grocery order tomorrow morning but in another area (our Sainsbury’s don’t do it) so hoping no more snow.
Heard from son of Mum’s best friend this morning. Nice to catch up and hear his parents are both doing ok. Neighbours for 60 years I have promised to visit as soon as allowed as she misses Mum. Both got their vaccinations last week.
L has been doing school work this morning but outside sledging with Grandpa now. Very cold so don’t think they’ll be out there for long!
I’ve had my first one and will get the second on February 4.How many here have been able to score on the shot?
I do have a straightener, but prefer to wear my hair curly. The curls get frizzy if I try to blow dry them. Don’t even get me started on humidity.Do you have straighteners Charade..
Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods. Especially when paired with chocolate..I never quite got the taste for peanut butter,
Payers they both quickly improve.Thank you everyone for the get well wishes for my granddaughter. She is still recovering from Covid. She had the gamut of symptoms.

I can’t even remember when I last ironed something. It was probably when I ironed a patch onto one of B’s Girl Scout vests.What is an iron ?
Ditto for ironing board........

Good afternoon. I am on lunch break eating a “carb friendly” frozen pizza. It’s a bit of a disappointment.

Safe travels tomorrow Mac. I would love to go this time of year. I bookmarked the site for AP room rates and am surprised at how low they are right now.
NY state, buffalo in particular, credited for originating their namesake wings. IMO best wings come from dive barsOne of the best plate of wings I ever ate outside of Florida was with my cousins in Long Island.....I was surprised how good they were......I could eat them right now!
ew, lol, may have to give it a whirl. Got a giggle out of seeing “mr big” in the xmas dr who offering.Written by Russell T Davies who is a wonderful writer, except......Keisha.....he was the one responsible for so many Dr Who episodes that were slated as being dreadful.
Any excuse to put off packing till the last minuteI had emergency oral surgery for an abscess molar.
Tooth and bone removed
I can think of better ways to have fun...
Of course you are & going to have a ton of fun!I still plan to fly to Orlando Tuesday
Are you a SW fan in general, if so, stick it out. Was blown away by most of the episodes after bit of a slow startSo far, not excited about it. I hope it gets better.
Good luck for herGlad your mom is getting her shot this week. My mom who is 75 just became eligible this week. I spoke to her this morning and she is getting a cold (at least I hope that is all it is) so I doubt she will go get one this week.
Mousse, not squirrel . Haven’t had it in ages, love a good oneThey`re having chocolate mousse tonight, not for me.
Basil rathbone for me. Not a Robert Downey jr fan, didn’t want to enjoy his take on the role but, didThe only Sherlock Holmes movies I really love are the old Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce ones. Black and white but classics, they are Holmes and Watson for me. I love those books too.
& the correct styling product/protectorant...specifically for curly hair.I have to let my hair dry naturally. If I use a blow dryer it just gets frizzy. Maybe I need a diffuser.
Mine is wacky on temperatures. Got to point I attached one of those old school thermometers to front of oven rack & usually hit the inside with one of those laser thermometers. Hate to get rid of it as it has one of those large, industrial burners.Spaghetti was a hit. It will be even better tomorrow. French bread came out pretty good.

Don’t think i’ve Ever had that variety. Only fudge I generally eat is that million dollar fudge recipe unless I can get my hands on a bit of goat’s milk fudge that is deliciousI am not big on fudge either....unless it is peanut butter. I could eat my weight in peanut butter fudge
Worked my butt off last week to get two appointments this week. So many report their appointments are being cancelled, it’s a maybe at best.How many here have been able to score on the shot?
I’m lazy, tend to use the bread maker for dough. Find it easier & quicker re the first rise that happens in the maker, than the kitchenaideButter makes everything better cam......... I enjoy bread making (no breadmaker) and it can be a hit or miss sometimes. Focaccia has never failed me.....so easy and tasty too.
3 or 5 second rule. Here, the dog is a shark, usually lurking, darn it. Do your kitties give you a run for the money?on the other hand, I have been known to eat food that has fallen on the floor )
Oh, lucky her, ticked off all the boxes ugh. So, trying to think back. How long are her symptoms lasting thus far?Thank you everyone for the get well wishes for my granddaughter. She is still recovering from Covid. She had the gamut of symptoms. She is still a little congested and has lost her taste and smell also. Her fiancé now has it and he is having the run of the symptoms too. He has not lost his taste or smell though.
Hahaha never did socks, used to do the sheets back in the dark ages.my mum still irons socks! I find it funny when I go up and visit her, she won`t change now bless her at 85 going on 86.
Absolutely, she is blessed with a strong constitution and sounds as though she is smart & keeps herself active.She is a wonder for her age.....

Akin to the roads we traversed to our favorite pub for take out chicken wings yesterday. Shrimp was still frozen...that’s my story & i’m Sticking to it.

I binged Filthy RIch into the wee hours of the am today, don’t bother. Kim Cattrall has lost her charm. Glad she opted out of the new Sex & the CIty. Not the biggest fan but enjoyed it as casual viewer. She’s been replaced with another mature actor
View attachment 552212 For those on the other side of the pond...that’s Senator Bernie Sanders, complete with the mittens he wore Inauguration Day here. Has turned into quite the funny memes.

It’s at an every man for themselves scramble here, even if you are in 1A. Unless you are very proactive & lucky, people can miss ‘their shot - no pun intended‘. fall to the back of the line & maybe even get passed by the next eligible group. Ridiculous, iMO as so many seniors aren’t internet savvy, needed in this do it your self process.
2021’s inherited system is broken, we needed a standardized national plan from the get go as to distribution. I vote we swipe England’s which is clear & concise
