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

[schumigirl]

Your day sounds like it fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am still shuffling paperwork. We had two new hires today....already need to shuffle more papers as one didn't come back after lunch. I guess he doesn't need the job that badly

The sun is shinning. The snow has melted. It's only slightly above freezing yet, so nothing to get excited about. I enjoy cool/cold days more if I can soak up some vitamin D

It really was.......I think I`ve convinced one of my female friends to give up work. It`s more of a hobby for her anyway, but she has seen how much more relaxing retrirement would be, even though she`s only 51. We tell everyone....it`s the best job we`ve ever had......

Oh vitamin D......yep, makes the cooler days bearable when the sun shines. Your temps are much, much colder than ours, so I can imagine how ready for the warmer weather you`ll be.

Didn`t come back after lunch!! Oh dear.......hope he called to give a very good reason.......

Hi everybody!!

I did a quick read through of the last few pages....hoping I can quote and reply to a few things before bed tonight.

We awoke at 2am on Wednesday to head to the airport. There was a snowstorm and we wanted to allot enough time before our extremely early flight. (Later in the day there was a multi car accident just minutes from my house...quite treacherous conditions)

We managed to run some errands to get our chores started, but were completely shattered by 9pm!

Today was quite productive.....found a few surprises at the condos. And not the good surprises one hopes to find, but that is the life of rentals.

We always call it a day by 5pm. So here is the first glass of wine on the 9th floor balcony.
Hope to stop in as time allows....Cheers!

Yay......a Lori sighting.......glass of wine looks good!!! As does that sunshine and views.....it always looks so beautiful there in the pictures.

Sorry you had some nasty surprises, but hope the rest of the trip isn`t too busy, I`m sure you`ll have time for some relaxation too.......

Have fun!!

Enjoy that sunshine and warm weather Lori !

Isn`t it gorgeous.......

Good evening. Uneventful day today. Tomorrow will be an exciting day of laundry and house cleaning.

Actually that makes a lot of sense. I have always been told that dreams are your subconscious processing your life events. I just wish I could understand what my subconscious was trying to tell me.

I can certainly understand not wanting to remember those. I think dh had night terrors back when we were first married. He would often wake up screaming, but never remember what he was dreaming about.

I just wish I knew what my mind was trying to tell me. There was one time I really understood my dream. I may have mentioned it before. Have I told the new job dream? One of my most bizarre was when I was in middle school. I can't remember if I have posted about that one. It involved me and a friend in a banquet hall. I call it my psychic dream.


We had a few of those when I worked at Home Depot. I think the job was not what the were expecting.

Very nice view. Hope you have a nice time.

No, I don`t think you did Charade......love a good old dream like that, would be interesting to hear it. Yes, night terrors are awful. I`m very lucky to not have had any for many, many years. Some of my dreams make sense when I think about them, not sure I`ve ever changed or altered any decision i`ve had to make because of it, but yes, they make sense at times.

Did have a dream a snake was trying to get into our car once......made sense the next day for sure.......

Hope your Friday is a good one........



Well another night where I never woke up once.

Another beautiful sunny and crisp morning here, but going to be another glorious day......

Walk along the seafront again this morning, but doubt it`ll be 7 miles today. But, always nice to get out in the sunshine and fresh air. Sea already looks very blue and calm, so it`ll be lovely.

Plan to grill out for lunch and dinner today, will make some items up before we head out this morning....usual mix up of food I think.

Croissants with marmalade this morning for breakfast and a big pot of tea......

Have a happy Friday

[Charade67]

In an odd coincidence, I woke up after having a disturbing dream and I know it will take a while to get back to sleep.

No, I don`t think you did Charade......love a good old dream like that, would be interesting to hear it.

The dream I understood: I dreamed that I was starting a new job. Someone showed me to my cubicle and then left. I sat down and realized that I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing and there was no one around to train me for the job.
I had this dream when I was pregnant with B.

My psychic dream: A little background - when I was in middle school I had a friend named Julie. Julie has an older sister named Lisa. My sister was friends with Lisa. They were in high school at this time. My sister and Lisa had gone to a dance at Lisa’s church, which was a Catholic Church. I had gone to sleep before my sister got home. That night I dreamed that Julie and I were in what looked like a large banquet hall. The only other people there where nuns who were having dinner. Julie and I walked around for a bit then we were approached by a man who told us he was a priest. He was dressed very casually in jeans, a red plaid shirt, a light blue pullover sweater, and brown loafers. He had light brown hair parted on the side, and was wearing glasses.
I don’t remember anything else about the dream, but it really doesn’t matter. The next day I told my sister about the dream. She stared at me for a moment and then said, “You just described Father Redden exactly as he appeared at the dance last night.”

I have never had another dream like this, but as an adult I had 3 dreams about wedding engagements before they happened.

Spectacular Launch this morning!!!

Oh my! That is a very specific outfit to describe when you weren`t there. It really is fascinating how one`s mind works at times, and dreams are defintely a journey into our psyche. The brain does try to tell us things and at times warn us, I do pay attention to them. Don`t think I`ve ever dreamt of engagements or anything like that.....but it`s cool to try and analyse dreams when we remember them......

Hope you got back to sleep last night Charade......




Back in from our walk.....it has got hot!

Beautiful weather to walk in with a nice breeze, but we did 6 miles and reached our steps target, so we`re done for the day. Got some laundry out on the line and it`ll be dry in no time. BBQ food for lunch and same for dinner......

Have some calls to make this afternoon, but will be sitting outside while I do it today as it`s glorious. Not Georgia glorious the way mac has her weather.....but for us, it`s pretty darn good for this time of year.

Almost lunchtime here.......

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh so cool and clear to a golden sunrise! 34 said my phone as I woke up just as the sun was riding. Glorious sunny Friday for me.

Already put gas in the car, and made food for older one, as he will be home today, as he has class work and class to attend. Why little one is helping me, she just has to study, final classes are next week. And she is still not moving. Sigh. Even made her a bacon and egg white on toasted sesame bagel. I had bacon, egg and cheese on toast, as no more bagels were left. Tasty.

And yes, Pumpkin, I am glad these cool start days do not involve snow. Hope you get warmer weather soon.

Woot! Great picture Paris. Looks like nice weather and delicious looking drink. Enjoy that Southern sun, and beach.

Yay, DisneyLife! Woot to great picture of the Dark Side fun, and rocket going off. Enjoy your Southern sun time too.

Sigh, while no beach to walk and our amusement parks are starting to be open on weekends only. But the walks around the neighborhood are quite lovely, with much more greenery being seen now.

And so, a Fabulous Friday to all the homies.

Time to sound the get up, let’s go alarm. Phone says moderate traffic, will take 39 minutes to get there. She better be moving soon. I’m ready.

Lastly, the weather guy said some most wonderful news. 80’s degree highs predicted to be next week. Double woot, Woot! Woot!

And yeah, heater on these last 2 nights, AC will be on next week.

Hehe, fuzzy slippers, lightweight jacket and pant

 

[Robo56]

Good Friday morning Sans Family

Wow that is cool for you.....hope it warms up for you. We are the opposite here, we’ve had the best run of weather for almost 3 weeks now.....constant sunshine, thoug

We had frost on the ground when we woke up Wednesday morning with high of only 54. It supposed to slowly warm up again. Weather has been all over the place this April.

My flight to Pensacola leaves at 6am tomorrow, so I'm busy packing today. Will be gone a week, so cooking lots of food. DD is home due to a school "mental health" day. So she will take food back as well.
I'm making
6 chicken breasts
8 bear sausages
10 hamburgers
2 meatloafs
They can figure out side dishes to go along. Plenty to choose from in the pantry and freezer.

Sounds like you set them up to have all the meals they need.

Don't forget the palmetto bugs. A nice name for a horrible insect.

LOL.....seems the list goes on....geckos, Bufo frogs (which are toxic to pets) and more. We also now have the big Agama rainbow lizards.

So, went and changed jackets then headed up into the woods behind us, still cool, but got warmer as we walked. It`s so peaceful up there as you hardly see anyone else, occasional dog walker and that`s about it.

Beautiful pictures of your wooded trails.

I would LOVE to have a swimming pool of my own. Maybe in our retirement, there might be a pool when we want to winter someplace warmer.

We didn’t put a pool behind our house it’s the big pool in our gated community. I did not want the upkeep issues with a pool. They are beautiful to look at.

I hope you get what you want in a home or rental and enjoy your retirement when it comes.

I am soooooooo glad her surgery went well. I hope she continues to have a speedy recovery as well.

Thank you.

And a final Woot! Yep, turned off alarm. While may be up early, tomorrow no need to move as fast, but still want to be out early. Warned little one she needs to set her alarm, and get to bed earlier than her 2am or later bedtime. The car repair shop opens at 8 am, and I like to be early to drop the car off. Car place is about 30 minutes away, so I expect her to be waiting for me, as I drop my car off.

Enjoy your extended weekend Lynne.

Last night one of mine was a group of hare krishna type women, were singing in a group outside our home....I was telling Tom to call the police as they broke our gates, but when I looked there were no gates and I was back in one of my childhood homes......I was also yelling b***er off at them ala Bridget Jones.....who knows there!!!

LOL......That is a interesting dream........I remember reading somewhere that dreams are pulled from things we have experienced, talked about or seen somewhere (TV), books, news etc...

I don’t dream very often, but when I do they are doozy’s.

Today was quite productive.....found a few surprises at the condos. And not the good surprises one hopes to find, but that is the life of rentals.

Sorry to hear of the not good surprises at your condos. We used to have apartment buildings and we found many not so good surprises over the years.

We always call it a day by 5pm. So here is the first glass of wine on the 9th floor balcony.
Hope to stop in as time allows....Cheers!

What a nice view of the beach.....cheers to you. Enjoy your wine and warm weather.

I watched my great-nephew Wednesday while his mom had some appointments. I love spending time with my little buddy. He is the sweetest little fellow. I’am going to watch him again this morning for a little while.

Have some errands to do later. I had a very lazy day yesterday did not do a lot. I enjoy those sometime.

I cleaned the grill yesterday and grilled out some burgers.

The frost we got Wednesday morning shocked the Tulip tree and it dropped all its flowers. Hopefully that will be the last of the cold weather for us.

Have a great Friday everyone. Hope the sun is shining and your weather is warm.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick morning stop in! Thank god it's Friday. I made sure to put a couple of beverages in the fridge to enjoy tonight

It was chilly last night, but still went for my evening walk. I'll have to add more blocks to my route. Last night I walked just over 4 km in 45 minutes. I had thought of extending it last night, but it was chilly and I wanted to get home to watch Grey's Anatomy.

Other than that...pretty uneventful night. Older DS wrote his last exam and is now a second year electrician. So he gets a raise when he goes back to work on Monday. He was the top of his class. Pretty proud of that kid. Trades people in the coming years will be in VERY high demand. Hopefully he keeps on his game plan.

We always call it a day by 5pm. So here is the first glass of wine on the 9th floor balcony.
Hope to stop in as time allows....Cheers!

I'm glad you made it. That picture looked perfect!!!! Seeing the beach and water made my feet tingle!!!!! They love the warm sand and water!

We had a few of those when I worked at Home Depot. I think the job was not what the were expecting.

I'm sure it was. We have a crazy safety program, which is a huge snore fest, but when you are working with steel beams that can crush you, safety is key.
That sounds like quite the dream. I hope your not too tired today. I don't function well with such little sleep.

Time to sound the get up, let’s go alarm. Phone says moderate traffic, will take 39 minutes to get there. She better be moving soon. I’m ready.

Lastly, the weather guy said some most wonderful news. 80’s degree highs predicted to be next week. Double woot, Woot! Woot!

I like our little city. Not many traffic worries here. I worry more about the line up at the drive through get my Timmy's that I visit on my way to work
Those temps are the perfect temps!!!!! Enjoy them!!!!

I watched my great-nephew Wednesday while his mom had some appointments. I love spending time with my little buddy. He is the sweetest little fellow. I’am going to watch him again this morning for a little while.

You must be the fun Auntie!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to be that Auntie!!!!!!!!!!! Your wonderful to be that person for them. Every family need " one " of those people.

Well, I should probably shuffle a few papers around and look like I'm working ( at least a little bit )
Have a great day Hommies...if I don't get to stop in again today

I hope you`re cold weather disappears soon too. We had frost early hours this morning too, but always makes for the most beautiful of days. Hope your tulip tree recovers.....our pear trees are starting to flower just this week, I thought it was earlier than usual, but our gardener laughed and said nope, bang on time.....shows what I know about trees!

Sounds like a joy spending time with the great nephew.....he sounds adorable.

Have a good couple of days Robo....

Nice walk Pumpkin!! It feels so good to walk after a long winter I`m sure.....you have the worst winter weather!

Congratulations to your son......yes, I agree, Trades will be like gold dust in a few years. Yes, you should be proud of him....well done.




Another barbecue over.....we ate inside again, as the chill had just come down a little although sun is still shining. Getting a little misty, think we may get some fog....

Enjoyed some lovely food that Tom cooked quite perfectly, and made some strawberry ice cream earlier so that was dessert.

Chats to a friend planned for tonight. Hopefully find a movie to watch. Just the two of us in tonight as they`ve gone out.

Time for glass of wine......

 

[Lynne G]

Car good for another year. Thank goodness. Not too much needed, so happy to have it done. Won’t need routine maintenance until the Fall now.

Started out cool then no jacket needed by lunchtime. In flip flops now.

And sister bought these neat plants when we went to the plant store:




Hope the deer don’t eat them.

And so almost time for dinner. With it 62 out, will fire up the grill and have bbq chicken on the grill. Some tomatoes, orange peppers, and some potatoes, and dinner on the grill. Yay!

 

[macraven]

I’m playing ketchup here now

Finally had the second floor Hvac system replaced today.
First floor we had done last year.

Workers took a lunch break before noon for an hour today
Thought we had both cats in the bedroom to keep them away from the workers but could not find them

One cat came out from under a bed but other one..no idea where she was hiding
The men started back to work at 1:00 and could hear Mr Mac and I calling BlueR’s name trying to find her

Worker upstairs yelled down.....do you have a black cat?

Long story short was he heard us talking about where the heck is BlueR

I climbed the ladder and tried to get her to come to me
Once she figured out to walk on the boards, we got her out of the attic
Prior to that she sank into the insulation between the boards
I don’t have 9 lives as a cat does ....but we did get her out

I hope to go at least one more week before I have another cat story to tell.

I thought I had hard days raising 4 boys but the cats top the kids on worries

Rain tonight but temps going back to 80’s on Sunday
Hooray!

Hope all the homies have a great weekend !
Many of you work and can remember how excited I would be on Fridays at 5:00.

Tomorrow you can sleep in
Well, except Lynne as she keeps a schedule of an early riser everyday.

Will catch up tomorrow......yep. even though I don`t work anymore....still love that Friday night feeling.....

Have a good one.....

Sweet sleep schumi

 

[Charade67]

Clothes are almost finished. Tomorrow I will wash sheets and towels. What an exciting way to start the weekend. My one little bit of excitement was a trip to the mall to visit Bath and Body Works. I wanted to get one of the hand sanitizer holders that you can clip to a bag. I wasn't really impressed with their selection. I ended up getting one that looked like a dolphin. I decided I would also stop in Belk and look around. I wanted to buy something, but couldn't find a salesperson anywhere. I just gave up and left.

Oh my! That is a very specific outfit to describe when you weren`t there. It really is fascinating how one`s mind works at times, and dreams are defintely a journey into our psyche. The brain does try to tell us things and at times warn us, I do pay attention to them. Don`t think I`ve ever dreamt of engagements or anything like that.....but it`s cool to try and analyse dreams when we remember them......

That dream made such and impression on me that I still remember it after all these years. Out of curiosity I looked up the priest and discovered that he passed away in 2018.

I dreamed about 3 engagements before they happened. The first was my husband's friend Trey. I had just met him and his girlfriend when I had that dream. In the dream Trey called dh to tell him they were getting married. (Side note - they never communicated by phone, always be email.) Several months later we were at home and the phone rang. I answered it and it was Trey. Yep, he was calling to let us know he was getting married.

The next was our friends Chris and Terri. One night I dreamed that I was with some friends from church and we were participating in a scavenger hunt in a millionaire's mansion. I went in one room and saw a bunch of women gathered around Terri. I approached and she held out her hand showing me her engagement ring. The following Wednesday I arrived at church for a Bible study and saw several women around Terri. She was showing off her ring. Chris had proposed the same night that I had the dream.

The last was one of dh's former students and his girlfriend. I dreamed that they had eloped. A few months later they announced their engagement. That was about 10 or 11 years ago and I haven't had another engagement dream since.

Sigh, while no beach to walk and our amusement parks are starting to be open on weekends only. But the walks around the neighborhood are quite lovely, with much more greenery being seen now.

Nice that the parks are starting to reopen. I'd like to go back to Hershey some day.

LOL.....seems the list goes on....geckos, Bufo frogs (which are toxic to pets) and more. We also now have the big Agama rainbow lizards.

When I lived in Miami we would see the tiny lizards all the time. They would get in the house a lot. Annoying, but harmless.

Other than that...pretty uneventful night. Older DS wrote his last exam and is now a second year electrician. So he gets a raise when he goes back to work on Monday. He was the top of his class. Pretty proud of that kid. Trades people in the coming years will be in VERY high demand. Hopefully he keeps on his game plan.

Congratulations to him! That is a skill we will always have a need for. One of these days we need to have sone retiring done in our house. Nothing serious. Just have some multi way switches that aren't wired correctly.

I hope to go at least one more week before I have another cat story to tell.

I thought I had hard days raising 4 boys but the cats top the kids on worries

Glad the kitty is okay. They really keep you on your toes. When we got Caspian we "lost" him the first night. He did eventually turn up. He was so tiny. I think he was hiding in a small space that we just overlooked.


I am now waiting for dh to finish his martial arts class so we can watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I really hope there is a second season.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Thought I would make a quick stop in.

Sitting with a beverage and enjoying watching more Yellowstone lol.

Went for a nice walk with dh tonight. We walked the trails by the creek. Seen 6 mule deer just meandering along the creek. Totally not bothered by people. Not that they are tame, but they are definitely used to seeing them on the trails. It was a great walk tonight. Lots of hills to build up more stamina.

I am ready to sleep in tomorrow morning. Now...hopefully since I can actually sleep in, I can. It seems like when I actually don't have to be up and mobile, then I end up getting up early anyways

I picked up a shift tomorrow. We are supposed to be visiting the kids, but dh has to leave on Sunday for out of town meetings on Monday. We will plan another weekend yo visit them. I am disappointed, but understand.

Time for glass of wine......

I am enjoying my ceasar right now. No wine for me. Wish I could drink it, but it gives me horrible headaches.

Started out cool then no jacket needed by lunchtime. In flip flops now.

And sister bought these neat plants when we went to the plant store:

I love those days that start out cool, then get nice and warm. I and resisting hitting the greenhouses right now. I can never seem to leave without at least one plant to bring home. Enjoy your new one!

I hope to go at least one more week before I have another cat story to tell.

I thought I had hard days raising 4 boys but the cats top the kids on worries

I never used to like cats. Being extremely allergic to them, I didn't grow up loving them. But they sure do LOVE me. It's like they know I can't touch them or want them around me....and they still come near me lol. But if I wasn't so allergic to them, I could totally see us getting a cat now.
Please tell us more cat tales!!! I love them. They are such stinkers, and always seem to get into trouble.

Aren't dreams amazing? Those are amazing dreams!!! It amazes me some days.

Well, I should finish my ceasar, then head to bed.
Sweet dreams....and I hope everyone has a good night of sleep.

Sweet sleep schumi

I sure did.........

Clothes are almost finished. Tomorrow I will wash sheets and towels. What an exciting way to start the weekend. My one little bit of excitement was a trip to the mall to visit Bath and Body Works. I wanted to get one of the hand sanitizer holders that you can clip to a bag. I wasn't really impressed with their selection. I ended up getting one that looked like a dolphin. I decided I would also stop in Belk and look around. I wanted to buy something, but couldn't find a salesperson anywhere. I just gave up and left.

That dream made such and impression on me that I still remember it after all these years. Out of curiosity I looked up the priest and discovered that he passed away in 2018.

I dreamed about 3 engagements before they happened. The first was my husband's friend Trey. I had just met him and his girlfriend when I had that dream. In the dream Trey called dh to tell him they were getting married. (Side note - they never communicated by phone, always be email.) Several months later we were at home and the phone rang. I answered it and it was Trey. Yep, he was calling to let us know he was getting married.

The next was our friends Chris and Terri. One night I dreamed that I was with some friends from church and we were participating in a scavenger hunt in a millionaire's mansion. I went in one room and saw a bunch of women gathered around Terri. I approached and she held out her hand showing me her engagement ring. The following Wednesday I arrived at church for a Bible study and saw several women around Terri. She was showing off her ring. Chris had proposed the same night that I had the dream.

The last was one of dh's former students and his girlfriend. I dreamed that they had eloped. A few months later they announced their engagement. That was about 10 or 11 years ago and I haven't had another engagement dream since.

Nice that the parks are starting to reopen. I'd like to go back to Hershey some day.

When I lived in Miami we would see the tiny lizards all the time. They would get in the house a lot. Annoying, but harmless.

Congratulations to him! That is a skill we will always have a need for. One of these days we need to have sone retiring done in our house. Nothing serious. Just have some multi way switches that aren't wired correctly.

Glad the kitty is okay. They really keep you on your toes. When we got Caspian we "lost" him the first night. He did eventually turn up. He was so tiny. I think he was hiding in a small space that we just overlooked.


I am now waiting for dh to finish his martial arts class so we can watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I really hope there is a second season.

Love Bath & Body Works.

Those are some dreams and very exacting to the folks involved. I do think dreams are so important, which is why I always worry about folks that don`t.....lol.....there`s a message in most of mine somewhere......Tom always says one of my best talents, is to sum someone up in less than 3 seconds, and I`m usually right. I can look at someone and tell exactly whether I`ll like them or not and what kind of person they are, it`s in the eyes. And in dreams sometimes they can tell us things our subconscious notices too. I tell everyone to pay attention to them.

Thought I would make a quick stop in.

Sitting with a beverage and enjoying watching more Yellowstone lol.

Went for a nice walk with dh tonight. We walked the trails by the creek. Seen 6 mule deer just meandering along the creek. Totally not bothered by people. Not that they are tame, but they are definitely used to seeing them on the trails. It was a great walk tonight. Lots of hills to build up more stamina.

I am ready to sleep in tomorrow morning. Now...hopefully since I can actually sleep in, I can. It seems like when I actually don't have to be up and mobile, then I end up getting up early anyways

I picked up a shift tomorrow. We are supposed to be visiting the kids, but dh has to leave on Sunday for out of town meetings on Monday. We will plan another weekend yo visit them. I am disappointed, but understand.


I am enjoying my ceasar right now. No wine for me. Wish I could drink it, but it gives me horrible headaches.

I love those days that start out cool, then get nice and warm. I and resisting hitting the greenhouses right now. I can never seem to leave without at least one plant to bring home. Enjoy your new one!

I never used to like cats. Being extremely allergic to them, I didn't grow up loving them. But they sure do LOVE me. It's like they know I can't touch them or want them around me....and they still come near me lol. But if I wasn't so allergic to them, I could totally see us getting a cat now.
Please tell us more cat tales!!! I love them. They are such stinkers, and always seem to get into trouble.

I love deer. We have a lot here, but don`t often see them in day to day travel, but up in the woods or any wooded area around, they`re usually close by. The ones behind us are semi tame, they won`t run away but won`t let you too close.

That`s a shame about wine, it`s not for everyone for sure. Headaches are miserable and yes, not much is worth giving yourself a bad head for, especially something non essential like alcohol.




Sun hasn`t quite broke through the cloud this morning, and feels cooler than we have had this past week. But, it`ll brighten up later. Had a lovely longer sleep this morning.....don`t do that very often, but did enjoy going back to sleep for a while, usually I can`t but, guess all the walking is catching up on me.

Housework morning today, then a little walk into the village this afternoon, going to meet a couple for a drink in one of the cafe`s sitting outside. We were going to have Thai takeout tonight from the next town to us, but a few people have said not to bother with the place we were going to use....I`ll take their advice, shame as it looks so good. So, making stir fries for all of us.

Bacon for lunch today with farm fresh eggs.....they don`t get much fresher.......we slept later so didn`t bother for breakfast, had a croissant with marmalade.

Have a wonderful Saturday ​

Ah yes, that perfect weekend feeling. Me too Charade, towels now washed and ready for my long hot shower.

Was tired by 10:30 last night, so was up around 5 this morning. Yeah, routine wake ups regardless of day, most of the time.

Quiet house, sheets to go in the dryer now.

Very bright golden start to this Saturday. But the clouds are a coming, as a mostly cloudy day by lunchtime. But hey, rain is also coming as 90 percent chance says my phone’s weather app for tomorrow. And so high today is an even warmer 68, with a more pleasant 43 now. And woot, weather lady said this morning, our 7 day forecast has only one day of rain, and much warmer temperatures. Yay! Finally the warmer Spring weather many have been waiting for. Me included.

And so, a routine to be followed whatever the day, tea pot is warm on the stove, and time to refill my tea cup.

Stupendous and most restful Saturday homies.

And a good morning hello from a very sunny morning having homie enjoying her large screen and some tea in a quiet house, with fresh towels, soon to be fresh washed sheets, and a throw over my lap, as does feel a bit cool. Oh and that lone chicken neighbor has been clucking happily. Guess she knows it’s the weekend too.

Morning Lynne

Glad you have some nice weather......and enjoy that tea!

Posted very early this morning but must have glitched! Try again.

Pumpkin congratulations to your son - I’m from a family of engineers so great respect to anyone learning a trade. Never be out of work.

Charade good to get the weekend chores underway. I enjoy laundry!

Mac that must have been a worry with kitty glad all safe.

I was up early as news from my nephew in London their baby girl arrived two weeks early at 6.30 am. All well and beautiful baby. My brother and SIL are going down to an apartment nearby to spend a week there. Hope we can meet her in the summer. Already had video and photos.

In the garden today then a walk at a nearby NT garden Em has booked.

Good Saturday all x

Congratulations to nephew and family on new arrival of baby girl, Julie. I’m sure it will be wonderful to see her in the summer.

Good Afternoon Schumi, yes, I am enjoying this sunny morning before clouds and tomorrow’s rain. And hope you enjoyed some tea too. I much enjoy starting my day with some breakfast tea. Then I use just plain tea.

Ooh, what do you do with some bacon, left over broccoli, and some cheese? Add some eggs and cook in a shallow bowl in the oven. Yeah, would say a soufflé, but did not have any crust. So I guess an oven omelette with bacon, broccoli and cheese. Yum! Like having a oven breakfast that I have time for on a weekend day.

So lovely out, and throw tossed on the sofa, no need for it now.

Lynne how can you have leftover bacon?

between Mr Mac and I, we fight over who gets the last piece of bacon.

We act like young kids telling each other ... you got the last strip of bacon yesterday
It’s my turn today..
