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

[schumigirl]

Why not both, lol?

Second bottle has been opened.

You know us so well.

Ooh me too, Schumi, have a 4 poster bed, and I still love it. Close eyes and pick the wine. LoL Both seem like a good wine.

Was a nice enough day, afternoon walk in the almost warm feeling sunny day. Had to take little one to the eye doctor. He is so nice, and she is fine, no changes, but funny, that every year we see him, he remarks how long her eyelashes are, and asks if fake. Nope, all real never put any fake on them. Mine are long, but I think her’s are a bit longer, and because much darker, easier to see. She never uses mascara, as they are that nice thick natural ones too. I’m sure many would love to have her problem of eyelashes hitting her glasses.

And so, used up our chicken at lunch, made chicken tacos, as have tomatoes, cheese and lettuce, I shredded to put on them. Tasty. Kids are thinking bar food tonight. I guess so. Not a kid after my heart, as the bar we like to order from, has what he says are excellent crab cakes. Ick is my response. But their burgers and wings are delicious. Seems like a good dinner for a Saturday night. We shall see. Just enjoying some afternoon tea, and had a butterscotch Tastykake. Sweet enough treat and a perfect one with tea.

Hope those setting their clocks an hour ahead tonight have a good sleep, and yay, then with be on daylight saving time too.

Glad you had a nice walk.......and you have a 4 poster too? We love ours, but it was built after we moved in.....if we try to take it apart, it`ll be ruined. Solid wood.

So, we leave it when we do move. And we will move again, at least once.

Yep, clocks will go forward tonight before we go to bed....



Wine and movie good......

Johnny Depp......even better!

lol......those who smugly judge.........

​

Hope you enjoyed yours too Lori.......yes, we sipped both bottles over many hours........delicious. It’s always wine time.........



11pm here, but really midnight with the time change........soon as Capt Jack Sparrow is finished, we’ll head for bed.

I had genuinely forgotten what rip roaring fun movies these are.......

Bacon up in the morning......pancakes too.....

 

[macraven]

Glad you are adding pancakes to go with the bacon tomorrow morning

I’ll bring my appetite!

 

[schumigirl]

Pancakes and bacon all ready........





Hope Charade and her mum are doing well and Vicki (Tink1957) hope you`re doing ok too.......




Even losing an hour, slept solidly and even slept a little later which was lovely. And it was lovely as the wind is howling like a banshee outside. Doubt we`ll go out a walk in this, not much fun.

Definitely no plans today at all.......lunch will be pancakes and bacon as we were up too late for such a breakfast, and have a chicken in the Aga for tonight......apart from watching the Bahrain GP later, that`s as much as my day involves today.

It`s lovely having nothing to do.

Have a fabulous Sunday whatever you may be doing........








​

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh pancakes and bacon. Yum.

Ack for a windy day Schumi. Our Sunday will be a wet one, with rain showers in the morning, and steady rain throughout the afternoon.

But this early morning weather guy said those rain making clouds will be gone in the overnight, as a full day of glorious sunshine Monday will be our reward for this rainy Sunday. Yeah, and the high temp for that glorious sunny Monday? 55 F. Sigh. Yes it is still March. But hey, as the rain making clouds usually come from warmer Southern winds, the high temp this soggy Sunday? 70F. Ah, maybe a lightweight raincoat. At least the umbrella is in the car from the last time it rained, like the other day. Early April showers? LoL

And so that other weekend day, where the routine is as always that get the trash out, and ready for the week day routine. Alarm already set, wash done, and will take the kids’ grocery wants. Did a good clear out of the refrigerator and pantry, so now all can see what we have. And I don’t think we need that much. Little one asked for more tomatoes, so a stop at the produce store may be a stop we do. Picked up some ground beef from the butcher on the way home from the eye doctor yesterday. So thinking a burger lunch. If the rain is not falling too hard, will light the grill, and enjoy grilled burgers. Otherwise, they will be grilled in a pan on the stove. Either way, I am sure all will enjoy. And not a clue for dinner. But we always have rice, pasta, and potatoes. So a meal can easily be made with any of those three, meatless or with meat. I assume little one will ask for pasta. And if we pick up more tomatoes, should have enough to make my red sauce. Plan? maybe. Though I bet Schumi’s home is smelling good with the chicken cooking in her oven for their dinner.

With me not getting around to post, as enjoying my tea, ack phone just flashed moderate rain in 15 minutes. Hope the fire trucks I heard leave shortly after the fire whistle sounded a few minutes ago, get back before the rain, or are helped with the rain. I don’t see any smoke from looking out my front door, so wherever the fire trucks went, as they went past the main street at the end of our cul de sac, was far enough away, don’t know why they were called. Will check the local news later today.

And so that routine quiet house before any grocery run, though if older one is up soon, may be on the road faster. Not before that moderate rain is to fall though. Eh, like Mac, indoor today seems like a good where on a rainy day.

So a Good Afternoon to a daylight saving time Schumi. Glad your sleep was a bit later due to time change. But I am sure your early mornings waking up will still be your routine. Sigh, mine was 5 am. Oh well, I just can’t sleep late every day. At least I am lazy so far, other than a load of wash, and the tea pot filled and stove turned on to make that tea pit whistle. And it did hours ago now, so I’m ready to refill that tea pot again. But will use regular tea. Done with wanting the breakfast tea I had. Feeling like lighter colored tea.

Back to the remote for the largest tv. Have a most special Sunday.

Ack, I guess I am a slow typer or the phone was wrong. I hear the steady rain. Loud. Sigh.

 

[keishashadow]

Yinz know how I roll, never too early to start with the seasonal nyucks

Weatherman lied, raining & bit of a chill here. Jr threw me a curve ball & decided to breeze thru for late brunch vs dinner. Off to the store I will go. Have such a hankering for eggs Benedict with hollindase. Do have asparagus & eggs but, will save that for a backwards dinner sort of day.

Pancakes (no, thank you), toss me a Belgium waffle with the works (strawberries & whipped cream), please.

Dinner TBD since the shift in plans.

Hope Charade and her mum are doing well and Vicki (Tink1957) hope you`re doing ok too.......

Thot of vicki when, perhaps, the worst pizza I’ve ever seen landed on my doorstop. Got it from a fancier place too that the mr favors re their hoagies. Ate half a piece & tossed rest of it, at least a small one. so dried out, little cheese. Just as well, will save those carbs for another day.
Sure hope Mac’s Walking Dead pizza is more alive.

Even losing an hour, slept solidly and even slept a little later which was lovely. And it was lovely as the wind is howling like a banshee outside. Doubt we`ll go out a walk in this, not much fun.

Banshees are so under-rated here in the horror genre

Yeah, and the high temp for that glorious sunny Monday? 55 F. Sigh. Yes it is still March.

Accuweather pulled the rug out from under us too for what was supposed to be a glorious weather week for so early in the season. I can’t remember if march came in like a lion or a lamb.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne, yes, time change works well for us. Makes for a very quick day though......seems to have flown past. Glad to hear your weather is going to improve, and yep, kitchen smells delicious.



Keisha......that’s funny, I’m not as fond of waffles, unless it has fried chicken and maple syrup attached. But with bacon, love pancakes. And a good eggs benedict......lush!

Yes, hope Vicki pops in and says hello, it’s been a while.....yes, don’t waste your carbs on something that’s not worth it......yes, love a good banshee movie.....used to be a group of women where we used to live.....all known as the harpie banshee group! You know the type.....but in a movie.....yep.....

Hope the store isn’t too busy.




Watching the GP right now, not very exciting so far. Will put dinner out once it’s done unless the guys we like go out early.

Did clear out a couple of food cabinets today, and didn’t find any out off date jars of spices which is a win win. Everything still fresh, we tend to buy smaller amounts and used them quickly, but I have discovered in the past a jar of something or other just a little out of date.....ok, more than a little...lol....

 

[Lynne G]

Ack, hope Mac and Tink are safe this morning. Noon news showing the tornado damage in Georgia.

And severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings issued for later this afternoon into the evening. By the 10 o’clock news, this rain maker should be out to sea. And with that clearing sky in the overnight, freeze warnings issued. Sigh. Lamb or Lion Keisha? Guess a lamb as not snowing today.

And a happy Palm Sunday to those who observe it.

Ick that pizza delivered, Keisha. We have never had food delivered, always picked up.

Hehe as the clock stuck 12, one kid appeared, then the other. Time for burgers.

 

[keishashadow]

Ick that pizza delivered, Keisha. We have never had food delivered, always picked up.

I can’t remember the last time I had a pizza delivered. Lesson learned

Never made it to store. Will send the mr out in the rain to grab something. Tired, gave LR a good cleaning. Found a new room size rug last week that spoke to me. Had to pull up the old one, probably will repurpose in another room as still in good shape, just sick of looking at it.

Never fails to surprise me how silt like dirt tends to lurk under the carpet when it’s changed. Not sure if it’s the carpet pad breaking down or what but rather gross to think it was there.

 

[Charade67]

Happy to be home again. I had a rather scary drive back. When I got into North Carolina it was raining so hard that I could barely see the road. Some cars were going 30 (speed limit was 70) and others just pulled completely off the road. Then I hit a really dense patch of fog and noticed the ground next to the interstate was white. I had just missed a hail storm.

Mom took a bad turn yesterday afternoon. She started coughing and couldn't stop. The coughing was bringing up whatever was left int he stomach. He hasn't has anything by mouth for a few days. The nurse installed a nasogastric tube to clear out her stomach.

I called this afternoon and she is doing better. The cough is mostly gone and she was finally able to get some sleep. She is still very weak though.

I am really tired, but trying not to nap, so hopefully I will sleep better tonight.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Charade, scary ride. Yeah, I’ve pulled over when I saw a purple weather radar blob over me. Other time was never so scared coming out of the mountains in a pitch dark afternoon thunderstorm. Glad you made it safely back. And lots more well wishes to your mom, and very glad she stopped her coughing.

Ack, my phone keeping beeping with a severe thunderstorm warning to expire in 4 hours. Whatever. Trash has gone out, tomatoes and a few other items bought, and all was snacking most of the day, so dinner will be later. And with our lunch burgers, chopped up some left over french fries, as they made great home fries.

Hope all have a safe and jolly Sunday night.

 

[cam757]

A beautiful Sunday is coming to an end. We had bad thunderstorms this morning but the sun came out and so did the heat. Made it to mid 80's. More bad weather tonight but it is not looking as bad as they were expecting. Just unnerving when it comes through at night, especially when tornados are involved.

We started off this morning going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast but they were on a long wait so we went to the Village Inn. Had a short wait but it was decent food. Then did our Sam's Club and grocery store run.

I did finally get our May trip to UOR booked. SW changed the flight times for our return trip so now we are back in time to take my mom out for dinner on Mother's Day. Now just need to book the car.

Hamburgers and fries for dinner tonight.

Good Morning Cam. Nice your DS is at school, and glad to hear he is doing well. So far in my state, no kids are at college. Rumor that little one’s school will be in person this Fall, but the City just delayed more restrictions lifting, as virus numbers have climbed again. Not sure the rumor will be true. Older one’s county school has not said in person this Fall so far. So I highly think both kids will be virtual at least the Fall senester.

Hopefully, this summer will be a turning point and the kids will be able to get back in the classroom this fall.

We will grill steaks, have baked potatoes with all the fixings, and I'll make my homemade cream corn! Looking forward to it already!

That sounds like a good meal too.

Cam, I can’t find that book! I sat it down in the back sitting room and it’s gone! No one is claiming to have moved it.......I will seek it out though.....glad you’re enjoying LoD!

I thought of you the other day as I had a chocolate biscuit (as we call them biscuits) You’re one of the few who will know what the “daddy of them all are”

Oh no, I hope you were able to find your book.

LOL! The daddy of them all for sure. I will have to look for Tunnock's Chocolate Teacakes the next time I go to World Market. They carry some UK brands that normally you can't purchase in any other stores around. I am sure if I find them, I will need to press the foil flat like Victor.

When I was watching "The Royle Family" they were always eating Penguins and Wagon Wheels. I bought some Penguins to try. Not bad. They also had Jammie Dodgers but I did not try those.

Had a nice chat with several friends today. One who has the sister that`s a vegan I`ve mentioned over the years.....she`s the one if I break one leg, she`s broken 5.....if I do anything she`s done it ten times over.......she`s a joy!!! She never likes to be reminded she was spotted eating a bacon sandwich in our village cafe........she also thinks folks who have four poster beds are weird......lol.....I`ll happily be weird then........

She sounds like a pleasure. Your description reminds me of Kristen Wigg's character "Penelope" on SNL. She was always one-upping everyone. Hilarious.

Happy to be home again. I had a rather scary drive back. When I got into North Carolina it was raining so hard that I could barely see the road. Some cars were going 30 (speed limit was 70) and others just pulled completely off the road. Then I hit a really dense patch of fog and noticed the ground next to the interstate was white.

I am really tired, but trying not to nap, so hopefully I will sleep better tonight.

Glad you made it home alright. I saw where they had half dollar size hail in Hillsville,VA . Cars were pulled on the side of the Interstate getting pummeled.

Sorry your mom has had a rough time with it. I hope she has a better night.

Hugs for you !

Good to read she is doing better today.

 

[Monykalyn]

Can any of you give me your recipe of taco soup?

check your email.

 

[Monykalyn]

Do see that anothe round of storms heading monyk & mac’s

We had great weather yesterday-lawn mowed, dog chasing things all day, house cleaned, laundry done, sheets changed-then put ribs and funeral potatoes (no canned soup though-homemade roux). Even made a mudslide for my dessert last night.

Hair came out grea

Looks great!!

I called this afternoon and she is doing better.

Glad she's better. Saw the video of hailstorm descending on Nashville-whole storm looked nasty. The bad weather missed our area. Cold front and sunny but lot cooler today.

Started a new book yesterday and read way way too late. Finished it and started new one-must not stay p so late again lol. Did manage to make biscuit and gravy for late breakfast, leftovers today.

Oldest made it home from Cancun to Seattle-managed to twist ankle pretty bad on friday-her right foot this time. She hurt her left ankle really bad her second day in her first DCP-was on light duty for her first 4 weeks. She left that brace here so she had to order another one. Getting through customs took awhile - 1 person working for 2 full plane loads-after 20 minutes she said 3 more showed up and line started moving but took toll on her foot. She may need to get it xrayed-part of the whole EDS/hypermobility thing! She knows she needs to be careful but said her sandal slipped on the stair.

Thinking tea and early bedtime for me...
Hope all are doing ok today!

 

[macraven]

Yea monyk!
Thank you for the recipe

Ouch! That`s a heavy job at the best of times.......yes, we do get fed up with things after a time......Tom`s just glad I keep him......lol....... I always remember my mum and dad`s generation of families.....used to talk of how they had the same furniture their whole married life???? And it was something they were proud of.Although things were made to last then I guess. Tom`s mum had a washing machine for 27 years......we`re lucky to get 5 years out of one now.

Aw hope she does much better today, that must have been very distressing for her and you too. It`s good she is sleeping, that`ll do her the world of good.

Hope you got plenty of rest too. Especially after such a heavy journey.

Sorry your mom has had a rough time with it. I hope she has a better night.

Glad you have your May trip sorted out.......how fun!! And getting to see your mum on Mother`s Day will be lovely too.

I`ve never actually seen SNL in it`s format.....seen clips over the years.....Oh I think everyone knows one or two Penelope`s..... They`re fun aren`t they!!!

lol......we got a box of teacakes with the grocery shop last week, some of the wrappers weren`t perfect.....that`s annoying, they were already torn, but it is quite soothing smoothing them out then turning them into long thin almost stick like....oh dear......

Penguins, we like, Wagon wheels were nicer as children and I`ve never liked jammie dodgers, but Tom loves them.....never buy them though. Oh I think Publix or Walmart had the teacakes in. Also look out for Tunnocks Snowballs......oh my!!! Caramel wafers and caramel logs too....but only if you have your own teeth and no crowns.....those two biscuits will lift those crowns right out........lol......

Cannot find that book at all? I think "someone" may have moved it. I`ve looked in every single room and nowhere to be found. One of those mysteries......I`ll give it a few days and get another copy if I don`t find it.

Hope your weather improves too, in the 80`s sounds lovely.

Hope your daughters ankle isn`t too bad and not in pain from it. Food sounds good too Monyk......



Still wild and woolly outside this morning.......howling wind woke us up a few times during the night, got straight back to sleep though. Still windy this morning, around 45mph but will clear by late afternoon.

And tomorrow, we have to get 70F.....something we get pretty excited about in the UK in March!

Lots of restrictions lifted from today......sadly weather isn`t suited to meet up with 6 folks outside......and tomorrow, everyone`s busy......lol.....although my friend who is a childminder has cut back her hours, so she may be free to pop round for a visit since it`s going to be warm. Hope so. It`s a start for sure......

Today heading to Makro today, kind of like Costco but you need a business card to go in, need to stock up on a few things. They have the hugest boxes of washing powder and massive fabric softeners I like and a few other things too like toilet paper and kitchen towels. And will pop into a little place for some fresh veg and salad. Then make some phone calls....I`m wondering how long folks will want them as lockdown eases. Some will still be on their own, so hoping it carries on for a while.

Good news on the giant ship stuck in the Suez Canal.....it`s free and other ships can pass.....huge amount of goods now able to move.

Fancy some rice krispies for breakfast or toast with ginger preserve. Yep, home made, just not in my home! No idea what`s for dinner tonight.....

Have a wonderful Monday............​

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Schumi. Too bad bad weather to not be able to meet up with some today. But at least now you can. Hope your shopping trip was successful. And yay, for being a Monday. Hope some perfect tea was drank too.

Julie, Good Morning. Hope you are feeling well, and enjoying some coffee with Louie relaxing with you after a morning walk in the garden.

Ack, MonyK, hope your DD’s ankle will be okay. Annoying when not feeling well to wait in such a long line. Good to have all cleaned up, and dog having fun in the yard.

Ah yes, that before dawn week day start. But as most days, tea pot filled and tea enjoyed not much after that early start. Partly cloudy, so very dark out. Peak outside and lots of trash cans knocked over, trash and branches tossed around. But hey, at least 41F out now. We dipped into the 30’s in the wee hours. Tornado confirmed in NJ, and wow, while I don’t think we had a tornado, those winds were howling and blowing around the house, with pounding rain, last night. Quite the night time thunderstorm line that crossed by last night. But as the mix of warm and cooler air fought in that thunderstorm, cool air prevailed, and that glorious sunny day will start as the sun rises soon. But no real feeling heat from that sun, though it should help in drying us out. And while a jacket will surely be worn on lunchtime walk, looking forward to that sunny sky, and rocking my sunglasses.

Marvelous Monday homies.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Good afternoon Lynne. It was a beautiful morning here so we decided to do a proper walk. Still from home but did a longer version of our regular route. Was the first day we’ve had a warm breeze! Tomorrow is meant to be really nice so we’re considering a drive out for our walk.

Kev is power washing the cars now as it’s not freezing!

I’m still having the occasional fizzy spell so will have to mention it at some point.

Think the vessel was still stopping traffic Schumi. Worst thing I read was the amount of live animals being shipped from Romania and Spain stranded - we are trying to have live shipping banned from the UK unless for specific breeding purposes. It’s a cruel way to treat them.

Others news was the terrible Covid situation in Mexico. Hope they get support to get it under control soon.

I finished another book last night so looking for a new read. Might fire up my Kindle and give it another try. Only used it on holidays so far.

Chicken curry for us tonight - not for L but lots of roast chicken left from yesterday so she will be happy with that.

Third laundry load in and have a couple more to do. I’ve always liked emptying the baskets.

Hope everyone has a good start to the week.
