So glad it’s Friday & the mr is done with his work-week. If my dough cooperates and thaws, going to make cinnamon rolls. No idea of dinner, need inspiration. Doesn’t have to be divine

RL did u know 90% of the population has the virus that causes cold sores, they just don’t manifest in everyone. First outbreak for kids is indeed a time to watch things. Otherwise, train GS to let you know when he gets that precursive, tingly feeling (12 hrs or so prior to a outbreak) and encourage him to start using the cream...generally, will nip it in the bud. That can be miserable indeed, hope his is mild & Good luck managing them

Re disney mask - Believe I have three different ‘makes’ of them, could be more of them that were manufactured. TBH, somewhat doubt their construction/quality, something just seems decidedly off about them to me,

Admittedly, it’s so hit or miss to get a mask to fit properly. Their first roll out had such issues & comlaints . The most recent version I was gifted over xmas did seem greatly improved, a tighter weave of polyester. Haven’t taken scissors to one yet for an autopsy, but have sneaky suspicion they may only be 2 ply.
Last week, grabbed a i had randomly hanging on a hook near the deck door for some reason. my face was freezing off as the pooch decided to dawdle outside. Eureka, they now have new purpose for me, easier to don than a scarf when at home.

Have taken to using the NOISH KN95 ones when out & about. Worn properly supposed to be better than a surgical masks with cloth one over it. It all comes down to fit & wearing properly. Figure since they are readily available here now online (finally!) and we seem to be in the home stretch of things, sure don’t want to mis-step now

A safe & wonderful weekend to all.

Love that cat face....so cute!

So true on the cold sores......I had a massive one years ago......work sent me home.....I felt like the headteacher in Uncle Buck and was waiting for the rat to gnaw it off.......

Love the sound of cinnamon buns......lush!

Yes, have a lovely weekend......you certainly deserve it!

Bacon sandwiches and Fish n Chips both sound good to me!


Woke up to a fresh blanket of snow and arctic temps Would be so thrilled with anything above freezing right now, lol!


There are restaurants around here that will make your pizza heart shaped for Valentines Day.
How romantic, lol!
Do they do that near you too?


Ooooh, cinnamon rolls!
And pizza!

I have 2 masks from Disney, size Large. They run very small!! And not overly comfortable, which is a shame...cuz they're so darn cute!!


HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ROBO!!!!


Lazy Friday for me....still in my PJs. I need to drop DH work shirts at the dry cleaners, stop at the post office, make a return to Target, grab something for dinner tonight, hit the gym, and go tanning. Maybe one more cup of coffee, and I'll have the fortitude to brave the elements!

Both were delicious! Especially fish and chips......they`re always wonderful from our local place, but we all agreed tonight was the nicest for a long time. Think the high turnover at such a busy time helps.

Sounds a busy day for you Lori, and quite a nice one too.....hope you`re all nice and tanned now.......

Going shopping in your pjs today!
Jk

Succesful day and it was so nice speaking face to face with someone for a change, albeit across a large boardroom table rather than an office, still nice though...........spent a couple of hours there then called the fish and chip shop with our order to be picked up in 30 minutes, got them and headed home.

Dinner was delicious.....but holy moly....it is perishing. We have barely 17F and to be the coldest night so far. Not inside it`s not........ But you could really feel that distinct drop in temperature even for the short time I was out of the car just getting in the house. Passed a lod of road gritters too. Snow seems to have stopped though.

Having pink gins tonight.......and trying to find something to watch.......

I hate to say it but, pizzas in the shape of ahem male & female appendages seem to gaining popularity

Wow....there really are some idiots out there.....natural selection and candidates for the Darwin Awards........

Did u pull on ear loops. Can crack in 3 places to get a bit more length

Oh my! I'd never order those pizzas!

I did pull on the mask ear loops, and it ripped some threads...so I stopped. Didn't want it to all unravel.
Now I gently stretch on them when wet, hoping that will give a bit of room. Let air dry.

I know it's not the best for my skin, but I LOVE a bit of tan in the wintertime!
Ooooh, pink gin! Have one for me please

I can relate to this, hee hee!!!!

lol....I would....I just saw a picture of one...... I think....no cancel that, anything I say will be misconstrued and used against me

I poured myself a double on your behalf........ love a pink gin!



Off to look at my emails again.........

 

[Lynne G]

Oh I’ve definitely seen those idiots, Keisha. Hate to drive behind them. Flying snowy ice can be deadly. One sheet of snow coming off a truck hit the guy’s window behind him, crashed the window and guy almost lost control with all the glass falling on him as they were going fast on the highway. Was in the news the other day. As I tell my kids, if there is something stupid to be done, there is at least one that is stupid enough to do it.

Ooh Chinese lunch as special on week days lunchtime, so leftovers. May not be noshed on for dinner, but will certainly be finished up tomorrow.

Just chilling, cold night to be again. No need to go out. And at least alarm will not go off for the next 3 days. Yay!

Off to make some more tea. That kinda day.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Yes we all enjoyed our fish takeout tonight too. Children hurtled downstairs when Em and I returned and were “starving”.

I had a surprise delivery this afternoon - I had said to Kev let’s not do presents as we aren’t going out and he said yes we will just get a take out - but flowers arrived and are lovely!

Carole did you persist with the Cecil hotel? We watched some but it was unnecessary to be so long so I’m afraid I googled the outcome.

We have watched some travel programmes tonight and enjoyed the scenery.

Very, very cold tonight but cozy here so can’t complain.

Friday afternoon check in

Can I say...thank god it's FRIDAY It feels like it was an extremely long week with the cold. And yes...it's still cold. Today it warmed up and doesn't hurt when you take that first breath of cold air when you step outside. I started to feel the start of a migraine, then got a weather alert on my phone about another weather advisory for cold weather. It's going to hit that gross -50 F again. Sigh...hopefully the weather people are right, and this cold snap will end early next week.

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered a new desk for a small area I want to make over in our home. I also found some wall paper to add to the back wall to hopefully make it pop a little bit more. I don't usually do that corny yearly theme of resolutions, but this year I did it. This is the year of reclaiming my house and making it our home. I need to make our small space work for us. So this will be one project I have been thinking about for over a year now. Can't wait to get started.

Now much on the agenda for the weekend. I do have a short shift tomorrow at the second job - this momma is still saving for when we can travel again. ( that account will be able to fund a couple of great trips now ) I will be finishing an upcycling project....and hopefully doing a little quilting too. It's a long weekend here - we have a holiday day called " Family day" soooooo I'll enjoy all the moments. Also have some organizing in mind for my one closet as well. Lots of putzing....perfect to do while it's too cold outside to do anything else

Keisha...I'm send condolences on the loss of a family member. Also, I hope your son rebound quickly

Realfoods....LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures you shared of the flowers starting to appear. It helps to see those

Charade....LOVE that your in the double digit dance for your trip. That is always exciting.

Schumi....Love the flowers and bubbly! Tom is definitely a keeper

Robo...happy anniversary!!!!

For everyone else....stay safe!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!

 

[macraven]

Pumpkin.... do you hire out?

(put me at the top of the list if you do)

 

[Realfoodfans]

Nice to see you Pumpkin. Sounds like you are getting yourself and your home sorted! So good to have that motivation.

Up early with Louie and we had an amazing sunrise. Inspiring to see that beauty in nature.

Doubt anyone will appear for breakfast for a while though I can hear J on one of his games.

I have a craft kit ready to make Valentines cards with L later and there has been a request for Monopoly.

We often go down to Sidmouth for Valentine’s for a short break. All the memories have popped up on my Facebook. Still miss our apartment there but nice to be waited on in a hotel now.

Had booked a slot at nearest National Trust property but it is 9 miles and we are aware people are being fined for lesser journeys so I have emailed the local PCSO to see if it’s allowed or not. Do not want a fine.

Good Saturday to everyone.

 

[schumigirl]

Carole did you persist with the Cecil hotel? We watched some but it was unnecessary to be so long so I’m afraid I googled the outcome.

No, I knew the outcome as it was so recent. I thought it was dreadful.

So good to see you Pumpkin.......oh that is cold.....makes our -7C almost tropical. One of our visits to Norway, it got down to -20C.........that was cold enough for us.....ever......I don`t know how you cope.

Good move on the new desk.......it`s nice to redo rooms. Hope today goes quickly for you and you enjoy your quilting....nice and relaxing for you. And thank you, yes, my husband is definitely a keeper.......





Freezing cold again this morning, but no snow or ice and temperatures have to warm up this week......not before time. Two weeks of this is enough for anyone.

Hope I left mac enough bacon this morning.......

Made butternut squash soup and rosemary bread this morning, that`ll be lunch and plenty to freeze for another day, bread will be gone before I can blink.

Stir fries all round tonight for all of us, then I ordered the newest version of Trivial Pursuit......so we`re having a family game night playing that. I think they`ll be glad when their Saturday nights get back to normal.......lol.....these questions sometimes show you don`t know as much as you think you do.......

Decided for tomorrow, we`ll order meals from one of our local pubs who are doing takeaways only for now. They serve wonderful food and just as good when picked up and it`s only a few minutes drive away, so another no cook Valentines day. We do miss going there regularly. Ready for lockdown to be over now.

Made a couple of phone calls this morning too. And it`s only 11am.......and managed to drink several cups of tea. Not going out as it is still so cold out there today.....love days like this.

Have a blisteringly happy Saturday........​

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Saturday indeed. A quiet house, was up before the alarm would have sounded. But at least all wash done, for now. Heard rain? Sleet? Wet roads around 5am, but roads sound okay now. No cooing heard, but I guess they may not be there. Was nice to hear the mornings they did. This weekend is a bird counting one. All are to record what and how many seen and given to a counter. Closest counter to me is the little zoo. Not sure I will take part, but I do like seeing the birds, as not all stay year round. When I see a robin, will mean surely Spring is around the corner.

Pumpkin, my you are having some cool weather. Yep, good to have some new furniture that it was needed. Enjoy your new desk.

Julie, I hope you can go on that walk that you reserved. I wish more routine times, when all want to safely just walk outside and see the nature around them. At least our free and entry fee parks are open. Not all buildings and services inside them are open, but the entry is. Nice the kids are with you this coming week.

Schumi, your soup for lunch sounds perfect. We are still at that below freezing high today, with a balmy 27F. I am not fond of cold. But a cup of tea is quite nice as I drink it. Hope your afternoon goes well. And yep, we will be ordering takeout for Valentines Day dinner too. While some indoor eating is allowed, no way am I going to eat inside a restaurant yet, and with the limits they do have, I am sure it will be very busy. So takeout it is. I enjoy not cooking a meal sometimes. And a Sunday dinner when I don’t have to cook, nice too.

Ah, that ever quiet weekend morning.

Have a Super Size Stupendous Saturday.

Tea time, yep. Good Saturday Morning homies.

 

[schumigirl]

As requested.....rosemary bread......

I love to see the dough has risen and looks so full before it goes in the oven. I don`t go for pretty bread......long as it`s tasty.

Personally I`d have added more Rosemary, but everyone else prefers a more delicate flavour. It doesn`t look it, but it is just white bread as I can`t eat wholemeal or any grainy breads.

Soup was indeed lovely, and the bread has rather unsurprisingly, disappeared already.....

Trivial Pursuit! We used to play that ages ago! It would be fun to get a new version to play.
The dog/cat image is spot on

THAT BREAD LOOKS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

I hope you do spot a robin, Lynne! Need to get a bit closer to spring, lol!


DH and I may head to our lake house this afternoon. Today is opening for Sturgeon Spearing season. It's a pretty big deal for some around here. I was at the house on Tuesday, and ice shanties were already placed out on the lake, claiming their spot for today. With all the frigid temps we've been having, the ice is super thick. Folks drive huge trucks with trailers, four wheelers, snow mobiles....

The minimum size of the sturgeon must be 36 inches, in order to spear. They are quite prehistoric looking fish! Kids as young as 12 can spear a sturgeon. The season lasts either 16 days, or when a predetermined harvest cap is attained. I don't participate, but find it interesting...
This isn't anyone I know, just an example of how large the sturgeon grow.

 

[Realfoodfans]

J’aime wow that ice must be so thick! Heard on the radio an area of the River Thames is frozen - first time for many years. Lake House reminds me of the movie - lucky you.

Lynne we have robins here all year round. They are quite protective of their patch - currently have two males every morning in altercation over a female. Sparrows are apparently declining here but we have a hedge that is like a high rise apartment-block - 20-30 living in there.

Had a sort of the pantry and freezer and decided we will eat chilli cheese nachos with guacamole and sour cream and cook some mini buffet items leftover from Christmas. Already heard a shout of hunger from J. No filling him at the moment. So think we will eat early and have fruit and ice cream sundaes later.

So cold here today again.

 

[Lynne G]

That’s so neat Paris. Huge fish. Most of our fishing is not until the summer, when flounder arrive in the bays.

Hehe, yep kids are always seeming hungry in our house Julie. Older one would enjoy that nacho combo. Little one and I would not eat the sour cream or guacamole.

And so, left over Chinese lunch yep. Tasty.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. Another day of rain, sleet, freezing rain....just all around nasty weather. I have no plans to leave the house today.

Had a weird dream last night about visiting Universal. It made me think about our upcoming Disney trip and I couldn't remember if I asked the cat sitter about our original March dates or if I gave her the May dates. I texted her this morning to make sure she has the correct ones.

I hate to say it but, pizzas in the shape of ahem male & female appendages seem to gaining popularity

I think I'll pass.

View attachment 555873

That's crazy. I haven't seen any cars that bad, but I have seen several that don't have the snow cleared off the roof. I hate getting behind them.

One sheet of snow coming off a truck hit the guy’s window behind him, crashed the window and guy almost lost control with all the glass falling on him as they were going fast on the highway. Was in the news the other day. As I tell my kids, if there is something stupid to be done, there is at least one that is stupid enough to do it.

That is frightening, I hope the truck driver had to pay for the repairs. I think driving with snow on the car is illegal in some states.

Ooh Chinese lunch as special on week days lunchtime

I really want some good Chinese food. My favorite restaurant is only doing to go orders, and it is far enough away that the food is almost cold by the time we get home.

I had a surprise delivery this afternoon - I had said to Kev let’s not do presents as we aren’t going out and he said yes we will just get a take out - but flowers arrived and are lovely!

Aw...how sweet.

It's going to hit that gross -50 F again. Sigh...hopefully the weather people are right, and this cold snap will end early next week.

Negative 50?? I guessI can't complain about our slightly below freezing temps. Where do you live?

I do have a short shift tomorrow at the second job - this momma is still saving for when we can travel again. ( that account will be able to fund a couple of great trips now

Sometimes I think about getting a part time job, but haven't acted on it yet. It would be nice to have more travel money. I started my solo trip fund with my Christmas bonus and have been adding a little to it each payday.

Had booked a slot at nearest National Trust property but it is 9 miles and we are aware people are being fined for lesser journeys so I have emailed the local PCSO to see if it’s allowed or not. Do not want a fine.

Hope you are allowed to go.

then I ordered the newest version of Trivial Pursuit...

We bought a Harry Potter version last year early into the lockdown. I don't think dh likes playing with me and B.

As requested.....rosemary bread......

Now I'm craving bread again. I may have to designate a day each week where I don't cut carbs.

This isn't anyone I know, just an example of how large the sturgeon grow

Wow!

We have no plans for Valentine's Day tomorrow. We haven't celebrated in years. I just hope that the weather is nice enough that we can get out of the house for a little while.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Well response from police was non-commital for sure. “We cannot offer direct guidance and ask you to read the government website”. Yes we have done but it does not give a mileage and does say “you may visit public parkland either paid or non paid entry” - local NorthWest news showed a lady who had driven 9 miles to the coast and been fined. Kev says we will go as very limited entry numbers and such a nice walk round the gardens at Lyme Park even in winter. So that’s Monday weather permitting - we will see!

lol.....yes, the bread was almost like a magic trick......completely disappeared!

That is a big fish!

Yes, we have robins everywhere here.......we`re surrounded by trees and see some gorgeous little birds, and being near woodland we have owls regularly flying around, they are beautiful.

Have fun at the lake.......




Dinner over and I`m stuffed! I`m the only one who loves fresh ginger with plum sauce, they have teriyaki chicken. Everyone is happy and full.

Looking forward to playing Trivial Pursuit later. Doubt I`ll win......but it`s so much fun. Bottle of wine has been opened..........

 

[Robo56]

Good Saturday evening Sans family

Gator is one of my favorites.

Me too.


Keisha so sorry to hear your son is having a rough time getting better. Sending prayers and mummy dust his way.

His favorite aunt lives next door to him. She’s been in poor health for a least a decade. Just starting chemo for late stage pancreatic cancer when she was diagnosed with covid on the weekend & sent home from ER. Passed in her sleep Monday night. A cliche but, one of the most compassionate people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing & one of the few ‘outlaws’ with whom I kept in contact

So sorry to hear of sons aunt passing. Prayers for your family.

Oh always love a fellow mischief maker Robo.....

Yep.....me too

Have a blast Robo and hope breakfast was good.....

Breakfast was yummy.

Got vaxxed today and need to mark my calendar for second visit

Don’t ask as it’s a horror story

I have heard they are giving the shots to close to the shoulder joint. It should be given in the deltoid. This is a issue with people giving injections without proper training or just poor technique. Not sure if that was your issue.

Would you believe Jr is now on antibiotic for infected ear?

Wow....sorry to hear you younger is ill too.

Anybody else have kids with recurrent ear aches when littles?

Granddaughter had issues when she was toddler and great-granddaughter has had issues also with multiple tubes and ruptured eardrum.

In happier news....

Yeah to count down for your trip.

Valentine`s Day a few days early..........

Beautiful roses. Mr Tom is a keeper.

Since I met Tom he has got me fresh flowers every single week except when we`re away, so I`ll take these as my usual Friday flowers too........what a romantic he really is!

Very romantic.

Tom just reminded me it was 15 years ago this weekend we were in London for Valentine`s Day. We had four nights at The Ritz and enjoyed afternoon tea at The Savoy too. Considering we don`t really celebrate Valentine`s Day, it was very nice. Any excuse for a weekend in London.

What a special trip to remember.

We got engaged on Valentines Day - totally unexpected as I said I would never remarry but Kev proposed on Bondi beach and it was a wonderful occasion celebrating with friends in the evening.

Love to hear how folks met and married.

ve told the story on here several times Tom proposed to me at the top of the Eiffel Tower..

Wow......a prosposal to remember for sure.

Family dinner was a success last night! The chicken parm was extra yummy!

Sounds delicious.

DD and I had our nails done this morning. Went for pinks and purples for Valentines Day.

Your nails are beautiful and yes very Valentines in color.

I believe today our lovely Robo56 has a wedding anniversary today.......Robo......hope you have the nicest day with your husband..........❤

Thank you we had a nice day. I thank my lucky stars for this sweet man I married everyday.

Happy Anniversary Robo. Hope you both have a great day celebrating the day you were married.

Thank you Lynne.

Anniversary greetings to Robo. Hope you enjoy a lovely day.

Thank you.

Robbie & her hubs

Thank you Janet.

Happy anniversary Robbie!
Celebrate it all day and night long❤

Thank you Mac

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ROBO!!!!

Thank you.

Got a pleasant surprise yesterday. When I booked my flight for October they were offering up to $250 credit if you applied for their credit card. It said that it could take up to 10 weeks for the credit to be applied, but mine was applied yesterday, so basically my flight is free. That's more money for me to spend at Universal.

Wow.....what a nice surprise.

Happy anniversary Robo!!

Thank you Charade.

I hate to say it but, pizzas in the shape of ahem male & female appendages seem to gaining popularity

Ok.....have to admit the visual on that is alarming.....LOL.....But somewhat funny. Think it would be funny to hear someone call and order one.

Robo...happ

Thank you.

Decided for tomorrow, we`ll order meals from one of our local pubs who are doing takeaways only for now. They serve wonderful food and just as good when picked up and it`s only a few minutes drive away, so another no cook Valentines day. We do miss going there regularly.

That’s is a huge fish.


Kicked back this evening.

I enjoyed my time up at Universal for Mardi Gras. Working on a trip report to share.

Our nephew from Atlanta is here for a visit.

I mixed up a pitcher of strawberry daiquiris for the fellas to enjoy while I was working on dinner. I made lasagna, meatballs and garlic bread.

Stopped my Publix and picked up a cake for dessert. I ordered it yesterday to pick up today. It’s called Strawberry Peach Sensation. Looks yummy. Almost to pretty to cut. Will wait for a little while and serve up some cake.



For our Anniversary and Valentines Day Hubby wanted me to look at a new Apple phone while I was up in Orlando and also pick up a Anniversary gift. I did go for a little retail therapy at Mall at Millenia on Tuesday. I liked the Apple 12 pro max so bought that and picked up a gift at Tiffany.

Nephew helped me set up phone Thursday evening. He is a computer Wiz so was glad he was here to help.

Hope everyone that is sick is getting better.

Shout out to Tink and all the Sans family who have not posted in awhile.

Have at great Saturday evening everyone.
