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

[schumigirl]

Happy Sunday afternoon ... We woke up to some storms today but they roll out as fast as they roll in. It is sunny now and think it will stay the rest of the day. I love when it is clear skies so I can see the beautiful sunset. The temps are all over the place between 70's and 80's. My pool gets warmer by the afternoon then slips again. We can't wait for it to be more steady.

We tried a new Italian restaurant this week. It is down the street and they are from NY. The food was good overall, we ordered different things to try to see what we like. There were a few that were okay probably will narrow down to a few. The one thing though is they are really expensive. They do deliver so that was nice. Everyone seems to enjoy the homemade pizza and I can do most sauces so probably will be a treat when I don't want to cook. Tonight on the menu is veggie burgers, fried rice and broccoli. I was going to do tacos tomorrow but forgot Brian and I are meeting a DIS member from the mothership side for mini golf. We have met for dinner a few times. She is trying to buy a house down here and moving from the west. She is my age so it was nice to meet her. I will probably just do Subway.

We have been going to the big outdoor market (farmer's) but much more in Winter Garden every Saturday morning, but have decided to do every other I can spend way too much there.

I was very excited this week, I was able to score tickets to the Velocicoaster annual passholder preview 2nd to the 5th. I am not sure if Liv is going, she has exams starting. Charlie might go but Brian and I are defitnely going. I hope they have it organized good. I will let everyone know how it is. We go on the 2nd I hope the first day isn't the crazy one.

May will be mostly projects then we have quite a few staycation days in June, so not being able to do much.

Pumpkin I totally understand how you feel about itcing to take a vacation. I was feeling like that before we moved here. I hope you can get something planned, I think are very much needed. I also understand about having your own pool, it is such a difference then lugging everything to a community place or a friend. It is a lot of maintence but Brian is fine with doing it. The best part is the teens really enjoy it and even though they are 19 they like to hide in their room so it gets them out.
Oh I am with you, I hate snakes, LOL and I moved to Florida. I am glad that you are getting your vaccine. Congrats to your son!!!!

RFF Congrats on your nephew, I can't wait to have some babies to visit. I hope you get to visit with him this summer, moving away is never easy. It sounds like you had a nice walk, I really need to do that. I might think about trying a cat on a leashe. I had one many years ago who would walk on it. I like the company. OMG pet toys are something else. I can't count how many times I bring one home and within minutes they disappear under things or ripped up. We are finding that the homemade ones work best. Enjoy your chores and tasks tomorrow, I try and find ways to make it more enjoyable. My 80' station can help!!

Charade Sorry for the loss it is never easy and hope you feel better soon. Oh I love getting in vacation mode. I know what you mean about getting in shape for the parks. I use to outpace the teens, I had a lot of stamina, now I have to build it back too. Good luck I am really looking forward to using the pool on a daily basis when the temps even out. I have been trying different masks. I wear 3 layer disposables at the parks but wear my cloth and washable ones everywhere else. It is hard to nail one down. I like your shirt and think there is nothing wrong with wearing it. Liv would absolutely love it!!! I love picking shirts out for trips, now I am not so sure what I will be doing.

Lynne I thought I had weather temps bouncing around, wow that is a lot. I hope it settles down to more warm weather. Glad all went well with car, we have to start looking for a mechanic, I think we will ask neighbors. At least we have 3 cars here to use right now if one breaks. My 2 have been getting up after 11 daily, I think they are staying up all night. However, I don't say much unless we have somewhere to go in the morning, and I have to fight with them to get up. Flowers are pretty, enjoy them and hope the deer don't have dinner out on them. I am into flowers and plants in the yard more now that we have moved. Enjoy more tea!!

J'aimeParis, what a beautiful pic, oh that looks relaxing. Sorry to hear that the rental had some not so good surprises. Never a good way to start. I hope it all turns around and you have an amazing trip. Have a drink for me!!!

Robbie Nice that you had time with your great nephew, enjoy as much as you can. Sorry about your flowers, I hope your cold weather goes away. We have a community pool in ours but it is rather small for the amount of homes. I am glad that we have our own, Brian has a harder time with them. I am more adaptable to ones. Lazy days are always needed. Have a great evening.

Mac Yay the AC went in, always a big load off. I love the cat stories I don't feel alone LOL!! Glad that he came down for you. Enjoy walking dead if it is on, I am behind a few weeks and have to catch up. Have a relaxing evening.

DLPN Thanks for the pics!!

Carole Glad that you have some nice places to walk. Charlie loves anyplace that has a Haunted story behind it. How many times we drive by abandoned places and wants to get out and explore. Glad that you had a nice visit with your friends, I am like you always try to have enough. I use to put bacon in my potato salad but don't eat it anymore. I had a friend who use to put pickle juice in hers. I hope you book picks up, enjoy it I agree books are usually better. Dinner sounds lovely, love when the foods aroma is around the house. Skechers are good, I usually have a pair around. I hope you had a nice Sunday!

I am off to cook dinner, I hope everyone has a great Monday. A special hello to all the SANS who are MIA!!

Hey Bobbie.....good to see you.

It’s lovely to hear you’re all so settled in to your Floridian lifestyle, and meeting up with folks too is always good. Sounds like a nice place to have dinner, although you’ll be spoiled for choice I’m sure.

Congratulations on scoring the coaster visit.......hope you love it!! And yes, you have to let us all know what it’s like......

Yes, bacon in potato salad is delicious, she adds chopped up boiled eggs and sometimes adds capers which I wasn’t sure about at first, but it was lovely.....but the best bit is definitely seeing friends again.......love it.

Have a lovely week ahead and hope Liv’s exams go well.

 

[schumigirl]

Multi posts are a bit off this morning........


But, Monday again........some love em, some don’t.......just another day to us.

Sun is shining again......although forecast says cloud all day......I’ll take the sunshine when we can. Not too bad a temp for today, will be nice for our walk this morning along the seafront again. It takes a long time to get bored with doing that.

Will be out early to do that, then I have some calls to make as usual and I think we’ll plan to barbecue for dinner tonight as it’s to be so nice again. Rain forecast tomorrow for a time, first rain in over three and a half weeks, hoping it doesn’t last so we don‘t miss a walk. It won’t be on all day.

Still waiting on our decorator coming back to do a few jobs, but as he stopped altogether through lockdown, he has a very long list of folks waiting for jobs to be done, so we’ll wait for him as we do like him and the work he does.

Not much else today......my family will be at my Uncle’s funeral later, which I wish we were able to go, but not yet. Numbers are still so limited. No live stream from this one.

But, time for a cup of tea........


Must be me......smugmug isn`t working properly either this morning!! One of those days I think......

 

[macraven]

Good night homies.
stopping as can not keep eyes open

 

[schumigirl]

Found them.......

Have a wonderful Monday









​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah a wonderful Monday to you too Schumi. We get a clear sky, and a bit cooler 43 degree start, and while barely 60 as the high, don’t care. As weather guy this morning said will be a beautiful sunny day, and was a very bright start at sunrise a few minutes ago. Hoping to try to take a phone picture of the full pink moon tonight. Hope your walk on the beach was nice, and yay to grilling tonight. And sad you could not go to uncle’s funeral. I hope there will be a time soon when you can personally give your condolences.

And so, the back to routine with the end of the week days to hope to get my first shot. Hope I get as scheduled, and have no side effects.

Thus, a back to early up and already screen viewing for over an hour. Always enjoy a quiet enough early start. And no matter the time in the morning, a tea pot is out on the stove, and tea sipping enjoyment commences as screen goes on.

Marvelous Monday homies. Good Morning. It is a good morning, so I hope your’s was or will be.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Good morning to all!

I've quickly scanned through the pages I've missed in the last several days. Sorry I didn't find the time to post any replies.

It's been busier than I could have imagined! We made a huge decision to sell both of our condos......
We've been swamped for days to get them in pristine shape and ready to sell. The listings are active and showings will begin Wednesday morning.

The market is so incredibly hot down here right now. We went round and round with the pros and cons, but decided we will take the earnings from the condos and reinvest.
It's bittersweet for me....I love this place! And I'm getting teary eyed thinking about it...

But the selling prices have never been higher, and we would be silly to pass up turning these units for a large profit.

I fly home early Wednesday morning and have my second Covid shot on Thursday morning. I'll be able to catch up a bit more by then.

 

[macraven]

I bet your condos sell quickly!

and then it will be time to buy another investment

sending you Mummy Dust it all falls into place quickly!

Hope you get to see the moon clear tonight Lynne, we have cloud and rain forecast, so I doubt we`ll even see it reegardless of colour.

Good luck getting the shot too.....fingers crossed.

And yes, walk on the front was lovely, but doubt we`ll be grilling out now, gone quite cool despite higher temps....weird weather, I think some sea fret has moved in bringing cool air.

Have a good day.......

Good to see you Lori.......

Oh that is bittersweet! But, sounds like it`s a good investment for you. It`ll be hard to get rid of them though. I know when we sold our holiday cottage up in Scotland earlier this year, despite not using it often ourselves, it was a wrench getting rid of it as we did love it. But, the family who were caretakers for us (it was up in the wilds of nowhere) bought it and they love it so much and are keeping it as vacation let as it was always fully booked. We can go up anytime they said, but I doubt we will.

You`ll find somewhere else and put just as much love into the new ones. And yes, they`ll sell quickly as they were gorgeous.....and that position is perfect.

Enjoy the rest of your time there, and sending you many hugs, I still think it`s the right thing to do.......





Very odd day today weather wise. Lovely this morning, but chilly, so kept my hoodie on while we walked. Did our 6 miles, came home and even after my shower, I was freezing and have been all day. Sun is still out but there`s almost like a little fog around us stopping any heat from the sun. So, no grilling out tonight.

Will make beef burgers, have ground the steak and seasoned it a little, that`s all it needs. Will make potato salad and regular salad too.

And got our re-issued Orlando Informer event tickets through today for Dec 3rd. I was glad to see they added new nights. The original December weekend was after we had gone home, but new dates suited us. We had tickets for last December which obviously weren`t used, but OI told us we could use them again this year if we could make the dates......so fingers crossed we can travel in December! I`m sure we will be.

Only 3.30 here......feels like much later in the day........

 

[macraven]

Schumi.... sending hugs for today
your mum will let you know how the service today went.

Your uncle was well loved

Thanks mac, appreciate that a lot .....he had a lovely family around him. I`ve been taking my mind off of it, well trying to. It`ll be going on now, so will call her later. No wake or meal after it, so she`ll be straight home.

 

[keishashadow]

Good Monday all . Catching up after a rather horrible week that had family member in hospital two days. Think on right track now at least but eeeeek. Moving forward thru what seems to be inevitable garbage hitting the fan before a trip lol

Going out today to work in yard. I always like to be outside although allergies have picked up a bit. I haven’t heard the big machinery kick up yet in the farm field behind us. So should be able to enjoy the birds singing.

Annoying when your usual peace & quiet is disturbed. Hopefully, they will get the ground prepped sooner vs later for development

While we do have pigeons, you don’t see them much in the suburbs.

Thankfully

Oh I’ve never heard of a mourning dove. They look like baby pigeons colour wise.

Gent in the area used to have homing pigeons. Beautiful white birds. He competed in trials with them. Believe he has passed on, sadly.

Yes, common pigeons have a lovely coo but we call them rats of the sky

Same here. It’s those pink eyes that i find unsettling

We have snakes Lynne

Us too, mostly the two-legged variety

wood pigeons in the UK. Big chubby pigeons a little prettier than feral pigeons and they prefer quieter woodland and garden areas.

Would those be ‘squab’ that some consider a delicacy?

may need to take some sort of sleep aid. I hope this is just due to stress and allergies and will eventually sort itself out.

Maybe Benadryl? Would run it past your dr first tho

Busy morning out early to blood test then ECG. Next is 24 hour monitor but no date when that will be available.

Wow, you have to wait for one? That seems somewhat contradictory to needing the test. Hope u don’t have to wait long. Far as I know only cardiologists order them here. Most general practioners refer nearly everything out vs the routine

Rumour has it a local sailor who was drowned, is known to haunt that area as it was his favourite place over 100 years ago.......lol.....love it

That is quite interesting. Bet it looks spookier in the dead of night

will for sure be sending positive thoughts to all of you

Thanks. He’s doing quite well. Thot he might have issues adapting being back at home full time but, the resiliency of kids is amazing

Congrats on the vaccines!

Delighted to find they had the Skechers I was looking for and grabbed them quickly. Girl is going to call us when they get more in of the same and we`ll get a 2nd pair as we did have to search for these one

i generally buy the mr’s athletic shoes in multiples too lol

We always call it a day by 5pm. So here is the first glass of wine on the 9th floor balcony.

Beautiful view.

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.

Oh my, scary stuff. is It anacondas or Pythons lurking in tthe FL swamps

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! Sounds like he has a lovely future planned. Nice to read

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

Ooh, what is that? Frost killed off a couple of our zucchini plants, easily replaced.

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

winding road but you got there!

How is the kitty doing?

I wanted to get one of the hand sanitizer holders that you can clip to a bag.

Disney had quite a few cutes ones last trip, ridiculously overpriced, naturally. I went with a HM one a few years ago & refill it.

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.

I was disappointed in the series. Was ready to write it off but the ending twist has me intrigued to see how they go forward

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

Have you tried the non-sulfate, nature wines the smaller wineries make?

Thank you all for good wishes for nephew’s new baby.

Nothing like that new baby smell

We tried a new Italian restaurant this week. It is down the street and they are from NY. The food was good overall, we ordered different things to try to see what we like.

Not sure what it is about the south but, good Italian (especially pizza) is hard to find there. Blaze in DTD probably best we’ve had aside from Napoli (which can be very hit or miss)

Not much else today......my family will be at my Uncle’s funeral later, which I wish we were able to go, but not yet. Numbers are still so limited. No live stream from this one.

Best wishes for them all today

It's been busier than I could have imagined! We made a huge decision to sell both of our condos......
We've been swamped for days to get them in pristine shape and ready to sell. The listings are active and showings will begin Wednesday morning.

Aw, that’s a hard decision to make. Good luck with a quick & uneventful sale.

And got our re-issued Orlando Informer event tickets through today for Dec 3rd. I was glad to see they added new nights.

Is that the after hours thingie? Enjoy, it will get here soon!

Still sending all good wishes Janet...you can never have too many of those! And yes, your trip is almost here.......you`ll be ready to get away again......

Yes, the after hours event. Hopefully this year we`ll make it....sounds fun.

Yes, homing pigeons are a thing here too, but they`re not white usually, just regular looking pigeons.....white ones sound so pretty. Never quite worked that hobby out to be honest.

I thought I had tasted good pizza in Florida....then I went to NYC for the first time! They really know how to make pizza.......took to our fifth visit to go to John`s in Manhattan....excellent! But, the best was from a hole in the wall place down by the Trade Centre.....I was ready to move in there!





If you need something to watch that`ll pass some time, try Line of Duty from the UK.....final episode of this season is next Sunday......

We were late watching it, then watched 4 seasons in a short time, it is really good, if a little annoying how the bad guys get away with things for such a long time.....

Had a little rain tonight, and looks so miserable outside. So more on the way I think.....

Going to cut up 2 mangoes and have some chopped up with pineapple and some red grapes. Simple dessert.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick stop in!!!

I was hoping to stop in over the weekend, but was I was busy the whole weekend doing this and that. Our local health authority posted quite a few jobs. So I was busy applying to all of those yesterday. Still have a couple yet to do tonight. Also picked up another new project piece. So between coats of paint, I was applying to jobs. Had to do a little cleaning as well. I wish the house was self cleaning lol.

Didn't head into work today. Woke up feeling wonky with some sort of cold. Going tomorrow for a covid test. So for today, quarantining in the house. Hopefully the test results will be negative. So far, besides a cold, I don't feel too bad.

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.

That is the best sense to have!!!! I call that my bulls#%t radar. It is rarely wrong.

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.

Enjoy that new bundle of joy. Hopefully soon enough you will get your turn to see her!

I also decided to buy a couple of shirts to wear to Disney. I found one that I really like, but not sure if I am brave enough to wear. It's a little snarky.

I LOVE that shirt. I hate when people are in my bubble. I hope social distancing will be something people will keep on doing once all this craziness is over.

I was very excited this week, I was able to score tickets to the Velocicoaster annual passholder preview 2nd to the 5th. I am not sure if Liv is going, she has exams starting. Charlie might go but Brian and I are defitnely going. I hope they have it organized good. I will let everyone know how it is. We go on the 2nd I hope the first day isn't the crazy one.

How amazing!!!!!! Enjoy doing that!!!!!!!

The market is so incredibly hot down here right now. We went round and round with the pros and cons, but decided we will take the earnings from the condos and reinvest.
It's bittersweet for me....I love this place! And I'm getting teary eyed thinking about it...

I don't blame you at al to sell right now. The housing market must be booming everywhere. It is hot here too right now.

And got our re-issued Orlando Informer event tickets through today for Dec 3rd. I was glad to see they added new nights. The original December weekend was after we had gone home, but new dates suited us. We had tickets for last December which obviously weren`t used, but OI told us we could use them again this year if we could make the dates......so fingers crossed we can travel in December! I`m sure we will be.

That is great news!!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

ood Monday all . Catching up after a rather horrible week that had family member in hospital two days. Think on right track now at least but eeeeek. Moving forward thru what seems to be inevitable garbage hitting the fan before a trip lol

I'm glad your back...if inly to be gearing up for trip!!!!

Well..I should head outside to put another coat of paint on my project.
Have a great evening everyone

 

[keishashadow]

Today, realized a random one day park hopper I had disappeared out of my WDW account. The mr’s corresponding one was still there.

at least they have a system in place to return your call vs 90 minute wait times on hold. 2nd time in today, different department involved this time.

But, the best was from a hole in the wall place down by the Trade Centre.....I was ready to move in there!

You always are so thoughtful. It’s a gift

agree, truly good ‘za would be worth a move to the right neighborhood

Didn't head into work today. Woke up feeling wonky with some sort of cold. Going tomorrow for a covid test. So for today, quarantining in the house. Hopefully the test results will be negative. So far, besides a cold, I don't feel too bad.

Good luck there! Sounds wrong to wish you a garden variety cold. Strange world lol

 

[Lynne G]

Oh no, hope you feel better soon Pumpkin. And good luck with job search. Crossing my fingers you find a job you will enjoy.

Keisha, ack, to two days in hospital. Hope he is feeling better soon too. Sending good thoughts and prayers his way.

A pound and 1/2 of ground beef made into meatballs, cooked in red sauce, with pound of spaghetti cooked. Shredded some mozzarella to toss with the pasta and meatballs. And what is left? A small handful of pasta. Did put in refrigerator, but thinking it will disappear before the night ends. And I’m full.

Was a nice enough day. Beautiful sunshine, blue skies. Wore shorts and just a tad cool when wind blew.

Waiting until dark to see the moon.

Congrats. I have a feeling that will be another coaster I skip.

Yeah, little one is done next week, with finals to follow. She’s ready for it to be done.

I think B has her last exam on the 10th. I know she is ready to be done.

my family will be at my Uncle’s funeral later, which I wish we were able to go, but not yet. Numbers are still so limited. No live stream from this one.

So sorry you have to miss this.

It's been busier than I could have imagined! We made a huge decision to sell both of our condos......
We've been swamped for days to get them in pristine shape and ready to sell. The listings are active and showings will begin Wednesday morning.

Good luck with the sale. I hope they sell quickly.

so fingers crossed we can travel in December! I`m sure we will be.

Hopefully we will be back to some sense of normalcy then.

Good Monday all . Catching up after a rather horrible week that had family member in hospital two days. Think on right track now at least but eeeeek. Moving forward thru what seems to be inevitable garbage hitting the fan before a trip lol

Praying for a quick recovery.

I was disappointed in the series. Was ready to write it off but the ending twist has me intrigued to see how they go forward

I am curious to see how they will develop Sam's character.

Our local health authority posted quite a few jobs. So I was busy applying to all of those yesterday.

Good luck with the job search.

Didn't head into work today. Woke up feeling wonky with some sort of cold. Going tomorrow for a covid test. So for today, quarantining in the house. Hopefully the test results will be negative. So far, besides a cold, I don't feel too bad.

Hoping that it is just a cold and nothing worse.

I LOVE that shirt. I hate when people are in my bubble. I hope social distancing will be something people will keep on doing once all this craziness is over.

I decided to get the shirt. I have a very limited amount of people I want in my bubble.

I am super sleepy right now. Dh is watching one of those car repair shows. Should put me right out.

 

[macraven]

I’ll be standing next to charade while others are doing that coaster ride...

we will hold their bags or belongings for them

we will do that because we are good homies

As we fear those tall heights for that ride

 

[macraven]

In febury line waits were long when I did the Seuss ride
When I return in the fall would hope the line Does not have long waits

I LOVE that shirt. I hate when people are in my bubble. I hope social distancing will be something people will keep on doing once all this craziness is over.

How amazing!!!!!! Enjoy doing that!!!!!!!

I don't blame you at al to sell right now. The housing market must be booming everywhere. It is hot here too right now.

That is great news!!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I'm glad your back...if inly to be gearing up for trip!!!!

Well..I should head outside to put another coat of paint on my project.
Have a great evening everyone

Self cleaning house.....now there`s an idea!

Hope you feel better pumpkin.....and hope the test is negative and it`s just a regular cold. You don`t hear of many folks having a cold right now....I`m sure the cold remedy industry is annoyed at that, all their products laying dormant on shelves.

Yes, that is a good description of spidey senses....and yes, first instincts are never wrong I`ve found......love this meme, seems fitting.

​

I`ve had the ever nice Tom tell me to give someone a chance, but then he usually agrees, but there are times we both have exactly the same feeling about someone we both just met...

Hope you had a lovely evening painting, continued good wishes on the job search and feel better soon..

Today, realized a random one day park hopper I had disappeared out of my WDW account. The mr’s corresponding one was still there.

at least they have a system in place to return your call vs 90 minute wait times on hold. 2nd time in today, different department involved this time.

You always are so thoughtful. It’s a gift

agree, truly good ‘za would be worth a move to the right neighborhood

Good luck there! Sounds wrong to wish you a garden variety cold. Strange world lol

Aw thank you......

Hope you got that sorted! How does that even happen. Returned calls are much better than waiting on hold....that is soul destroying!

Oh no, hope you feel better soon Pumpkin. And good luck with job search. Crossing my fingers you find a job you will enjoy.

Keisha, ack, to two days in hospital. Hope he is feeling better soon too. Sending good thoughts and prayers his way.

A pound and 1/2 of ground beef made into meatballs, cooked in red sauce, with pound of spaghetti cooked. Shredded some mozzarella to toss with the pasta and meatballs. And what is left? A small handful of pasta. Did put in refrigerator, but thinking it will disappear before the night ends. And I’m full.

Was a nice enough day. Beautiful sunshine, blue skies. Wore shorts and just a tad cool when wind blew.

Waiting until dark to see the moon.

Hope you saw the moon last night Lynne.....no where near as dramatic as claimed, little brighter and larger than usual for sure. Folks do believe the name is a reference to the colour when it really isn`t. It`s called a pink moon as it coincides with the flowering of a pink moss in the northern hemisphere, but it`s really just a supermoon as it`s closer to us. It did look pretty though.

There are some beautiful pictures out this morning though.....

Congrats. I have a feeling that will be another coaster I skip.

I think B has her last exam on the 10th. I know she is ready to be done.

So sorry you have to miss this.

Good luck with the sale. I hope they sell quickly.

Hopefully we will be back to some sense of normalcy then.

Praying for a quick recovery.

I am curious to see how they will develop Sam's character.

Good luck with the job search.

Hoping that it is just a cold and nothing worse.

I decided to get the shirt. I have a very limited amount of people I want in my bubble.

I am super sleepy right now. Dh is watching one of those car repair shows. Should put me right out.

I`m sure your daughter is ready for the end of the year....she`ll be so glad of your break in Orlando.

Glad you got the teeshirt....it`s a good un. I had a dream last night I was a queue and I was telling people to keep their distance, and no one knew why...then I started telling people there was a virus coming soon, seems I had gone back in time lol....

Thank you for the good wishes.

I’ll be standing next to charade while others are doing that coaster ride...

we will hold their bags a or belongings for them

we will do that because we are good homie

As we fear those tall heights for that ride

You are a good homie....



Unusual morning for us today. We had rain during the night, but just looks dull and grey this morning and cool at around 48F. May miss our walk today if rain comes back on. Rest of the week looks ok after today, just not as warm as we`ve had.

Still watching the Icelandic volcano erupting, it`s quite the sight, although not as dramatic as it once was.

No idea for food today, will see how the temps go before I decide. I feel like lemon chicken, but no one else likes it. Might do two sets of chicken, piccata for me and a pepper sauce for them. Breakfast is poached eggs on toast.

Watched a new tv series called Viewpoint last night, it had Noel Clark who some of you will know from Dr Who a while back, he played Mikey apparently.....anyway, it was dull and too slow, so if it doesn`t pick up next week, will pass on it. Not keen an many of the cast either apart from one. Phil Davis is a classic Brit actor, he`s good in anything he does. He was in a fabulous tv show a few years back called Whitechapel....cancelled after 3 seasons, but if you see it on Netflix it`s worth a watch.

So, time for tea and then decide what we`re doing today.......

Have a happy Tuesday......​

Ah yes, the day of the week Mac looks forward to a no cooking dinner, and a Taco Bell one.

Woot! Taco Tuesday is here. And hope all enjoy a taco or two today.

Still 45 degrees out, but those 70’s will be on the thermometer by the afternoon. And while the weather guy said it will be a mostly cloudy day, the sky is clear right now, and was a beautiful bright sunrise. Warmer weather, yay!

Grey start Schumi? Hope the rain holds off that you decided to take that walk. And yes, agree the moon was not as big looking or special as said to be, but was nice to see it so white in the clear night sky. Hope you got some tea this morning.

And so, tea for me. Warm feeling in the house, so may put an ice cube in it. Don’t need to feel that warm.

And yes, Mac, hope shorter lines this Fall. And I’ll join ya as a bag holder for three rides in the Fall.

Ooh tea time. Yay more tea for me. And a breakfast hunt. Seems the danish I bought the other day are gone. So cereal it may be.

A very good morning to all the homies this Taco Tuesday morning.
