Good Morning Schumi and Julie.
Ah, all the danish was gone, as saw the container in the trash. Sigh, none for me this morning. But do have cereal too, so boring breakfast as well Schumi. I like a couple different cereals. I buy the small boxes of assorted cereals, as all can choose without some one else getting a not well sealed bag of stale cereal.
Ah yes, since another clear sky night, we are still in the mid 30’s F in temp. But the rain is a coming, so this glorious sunrise in the clear sky will be harder to see the sun by lunchtime, as the clouds are arriving to now make it not a rainy Thursday, but a rainy Wednesday. That camel must remember the umbrella then. Guess the weather was so thirsty wanting to arrive a day earlier than first predicted. But hey, any high of 66 F and a sunny start, is a great start of Spring day.
And so, Julie I hope Louie has a good walk, and completed your errands and fuel filling this morning.
Schumi, hope that cereal was followed by tea. Saw a box of Scottish breakfast tea in the world part of a local home store the other day. Picked it up to try. I hope it tastes more like earl grey. Today is just earl grey.
And so that routine of being on daylight saving time, with that clear sky, very dark out. But it is odd right now to still be bright out well after dinner.
Ooh, and will be that legally blonde late this afternoon. Saw an news article that said it would show you how to transition to gray. Um, not yet. I’m not that old. LoL I do get some white hairs as the colored hair grows out. My sister just got her hair done. Not as blonde now, and a very cute bob. She, unlike me, has always had thin, straight hair. Like me, she has had all lengths of hair. And I will say, the cut she got, looks like she has thicker hair. I’m almost ready to chop inches off, but today, just a trim of the always dry ends.
Time for a tea refill and get my bowl out for my cereal breakfast.
And in case a homie needs to know the day of the week, yay, it is the day Mac should be enjoying no a home cooked dinner, but a Taco Bell run for dinner instead. TacoTuesday is here. Woot!
Have a totally terrific Taco Tuesday all!
!
I'll check out Line of Duty. sounds like something DH would watch with me!Yes, you did tell me about Sheboygan......so funny......no idea why I thought it was a made up place along with a few others.....
Oh bless the older dog. I can imagine...but glad you have the other one to walk. I do love walking my friends dogs......now and again, but taking them out for walks on nasty days is one of the millions of reasons we`ll never get a dog. You have lots of rain coming?? Think the planet must be off kilter as we have to get decent dry weather for the coming weeks......no excuses not to walk now.
Yes, we`ve just drifted to the last episode......it`s really gone off the boil, which is a shame as it was just quirky enough to be good.
Line of Duty is back on here, started last night, it`s a BBC show we have that recording every week and we`ll watch it altogether.....that`s a good series if you haven`t seen it. There are five previous seasons to watch. Gritty. Will Google Firefly Lane.
Now I'm craving a banana split! Those are classic yum!Ah that Monday night feeling. Decided to cut up two large steaks, the rest of the tired looking potatoes and little one wanted to add carrots. One pot meal. Yep. Beef stew stir fry. And older one declared everyone else ate more then share, as he was still hungry. Bought some ham steaks, so told him to fry that up or eat it cold. Or grill a sandwich.
Quite the stocking up we did this weekend, so lots of other things to eat. Highly thinking of having some ice cream. Had bought chocolate sauce and real whip cream. Add a banana, could have a banana split. Off to see if there is still ice cream left.
Wonderful night homies.
Still debating on breakfast here. Will start with a coffee or 2 in a minute.I know I`m sure I almost caught the cold listening to both you ladies regale me with tales of the cold you experience at times up there......
We are racing through March now!
Tuesday and looks like it`s going to be an alright day today, not as bright and sunny as yesterday, but fine for a walk. Will head out this morning and park then head onto the beach. Have the usual phone calls to make this afternoon and will call my mum too.
Cereal for breakfast......dull. Rice Krispies for me as it`s the only cereal I`ll eat. The others have a selction and alternate, but not for me.
As we have over a dozen eggs from the farm the other day, I think Tom will make us omelettes for lunch today again, and he wants the chicken curry I made a few days ago for dinner. Suits me.
Been watching live footage of the Icelandic volcano that started erupting recently......amazing sight to see. Always remember the one in 2010 where flights to America and Canada had to go the long way around to avoid the plume from that one.
Early breakfast this morning then we can head out.
I like Firefly Lane mostly because I can relate to the enduring friendship.Morning all.
Schumi a nice part of the wedding album programmes is when she reunites them with family or friends. Some sad ones.
J’aime I enjoyed Firefly Lane. Some bits not but the storyline yes. I started on The Bold Type as I worked in journalism but as it goes on more and more was too “rude” for me. I accept others don’t mind that but not for me - spoilt the storyline.
One year ago today since our first big announcement of lockdown. One year since my Dad was moved from rehab to the care home. Our church are having a gathering in the churchyard at 12 so we will go along. Our minister is such a good man. Doesn’t matter what your religion or none.
Have an order to collect and we need fuel so we are having a drive out this morning before we go.
Will have a walk with Louie en route.
Enjoy your trip to the salon! A new cut and color are instant mood boosters!!Good Morning Schumi and Julie.

Sounds like a nice tribute is planned...Lynne, Scottish breakfast tea is nothing like Earl Grey......it’s just regular tea. It’s really designed for Scottish water, that’s the only distinction in its name. It very weirdly does taste nicer in Scotland than down here. Nice enough though.
Cereal never lasts long enough here to go stale......although I ended up having toast with ginger preserve.
Enjoy your haircut today.......we don’t have long to wait now till salons open......cannot wait.
Well, we went a walk along the beach, but that East wind was a little too cool for us, so we only did 4000 steps which is still good for us as we’re quite lazy......but popping back out this afternoon so may do some more steps then.
Midday for us all over the UK, we are having a minutes silence for all the people who have lost their lives due to Covid. I didn’t hear about it till this morning but it’s in all the news outlets, ever felt you are last to know something.......lol.......
Everybody will observe this today. Church bells will chime out.
And tonight they are asking people to stand at their door with candles, phones or torchlight to show a beacon hope for the future as we head towards the end of all of this hopefully. All major landmarks will be lit up tonight at 8pm tonight too.
It’s been quite a year since all this started.
Having a very rare coffee made with all milk.......just felt very chilly when we got home. Sitting close to the Aga right now.......Tom says I was a cat in a previous life as I love curling up beside heat sources. True.
Omelettes for lunch........
In my prayers it all goes smooth for her!Super quick post. My mom has surgery this morning to remove the mass that is in her colon.
On a happier note, I got all my Disney ADR’s today.
I'll check out Line of Duty. sounds like something DH would watch with me!

I remember all those diverted flights in 2010....crazy, it doesn't seem too long ago, but it is...
I like Firefly Lane mostly because I can relate to the enduring friendship.
My BFF and I have been lifelong friends since we were 9 years old. We were neighbors for a long time, our parents are friends too. We went to school together, we were in each others weddings, are godparents to each others kids. Now our kids have close friendships as well.
We are closer than close since our lives have been intertwined for about 40 years...
Thankfully our husbands have become good friends too!
Enjoy your trip to the salon! A new cut and color are instant mood boosters!!
Sounds like a nice tribute is planned...
A coffee, good choice! (I do have tea once in a while)
A coffee is just in hand...love the hot steam and scent!
No idea for breakfast just yet. Lunch will be finishing some leftovers. No idea for supper either. I think I need some inspiration....will search on a few food sights and see what sounds good.
Graduation dress shopping was a bit of a bust. We brought 2 home, since you cannot try on in fitting rooms most places yet.
One dress is too short in my opinion, and the material is very thin. DD is quite tall, so the length is important.
The other dress has spaghetti straps and a V neck line. I doubt even a strapless bra will work. Seems too casual for a grad dress to me....more like a summer beach dress.
We have 3 other dresses on order to be shipped. Hopefully one of those will be a winner. Thankfully DD started the search early, as this could take a while!
And so, a gloomy, rainy Tuesday for my area.

A good morning to all the homies today!
Mr Mac and I woke up at 10
He is still dragging as neither of us had a decent sleep last night.
No idea why.
GA borders with Florida and the water here is just as bad for us
Even with a filter on the fridge dispenser, can’t drink the water so buy cases of bottle water frequently.
I know the Taco Bell menu well but still look at it just in case I want to try something new.
It’s sad my highlight of Tuesday is about food.
Lol
Almost two weeks now since I had the second round of Moderna and all side effects are gone for me.
Hope all have a great day!
Sounds like a lovely gathering at the church!Good morning bobbing about. Kev couldn’t believe how quiet our town centre is. He’s not been in at all. It was nice to gather at church and when all leaving a singer/guitarist set off with “Hallelujah” which was lovely.
Returning to the car saw a wannabe celebrity sneaking out from Toni & Guy - from British Real Housewives of Cheshire. T&G are a wide chain of hairdressers. She nearly tripped over Louie in her high heeled exit. They don’t re-open here until next month.
Surprising how water varies - I used to drink herbal and fruit teas a lot at work but just have Yorkshire tea with lemon now. We should have great water here the amount of rain we get! When I was doing all my foodie blog etc I was invited on a tea tasting class which I enjoyed and began buying all the lovely ones. There were a few specialist tea cafes in Manchester that we visited. Timers for different teas etc. Good times.
Grocery delivery tomorrow so will amend the items as want to do some Easter baking - yes mostly chocolate. Ordering a leg of lamb from the farm for Easter Sunday - a family tradition. Walkers left a gate open on their land last night and two pregnant ewes are missing. Many in their village are looking this morning.
J’aime yes a great friend is a blessing. I count myself lucky to have four but one in particular I could ring now and say I need you please come. Sadly she’s now in Yorkshire but we normally meet regularly.
Hope everyone staying well. Take care.
Prayers went up for your mom! Please let us know how she's doingSuper quick post. My mom has surgery this morning to remove the mass that is in her colon.
On a happier note, I got all my Disney ADR’s today.
So happy you're all better Mac!A good morning to all the homies today!

Glad you were able to complete your errands....I'd be so annoyed if I called ahead and then was turned away.I still have friends from childhood in Scotland. Some I don’t even see regularly, but when we do meet, it’s like we saw each other a week ago. You never lose that attachment.
I have friends from all over, different places we’ve lived so we don’t see each other as much as we’d like, but, my friends I do see regularly (pre covid) I’d be lost without some of them. And yes, thankfully all the husbands get on well too. There’s only a couple of oddballs in there......lol.....
She’ll find the right dress, she is such a beautiful girl anything would look good on her. And yes, starting early is a good idea.
Charade......continued good wishes for your mum, and hope she recovers well from the surgery.
It is deceivingly cold out there today. One of my ladies I call said she tried to go out a walk, but it was too cold. Don’t blame her.
We had to drop some stuff off to a friend this afternoon......still socially distanced off course. And took some items to the refuse place......turned up and the sign said by appointment only......lady on phone never told us that this morning when we called to query the protocol. All she said was proof or residency required. They let us in though......quite a jovial man who said he liked our car otherwise he’d have turned us away......lol......
Hot chocolate here for us I think........
Sounds like a lovely gathering at the church!
Prayers went up for your mom! Please let us know how she's doing
And yea for the ADR's!
So happy you're all better Mac!
Food is also often the highlight of my day!
Glad you were able to complete your errands....I'd be so annoyed if I called ahead and then was turned away.
Decided upon Steak strips in a rosemary cream sauce with mushrooms and campanelle pasta for dinner tonight. And thinking ahead to tomorrow, I'll be making bison cheeseburgers with pretzel buns. Onion rings too I think.
This gloomy day has me missing vacations.... One set of friends is leaving for Punta Cana on Thursday, and another is heading to Florida on Sunday. Wish I could be a stowaway.....

What’s all this talk about what’s for dinner tonight ....
Its Taco Bell day
![]()
Mac I am envious of your lie in - though needed as you didn’t sleep well. Wonder if we will ever get all the take outs you have over there. Tends to be only Fish and chips, pizza, Indian or Chinese here and only drive through are burger places and recently coffee shops. Lockdown has made many sit down places set up for take out but all look forward to returning to “normal”.
