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

[macraven]

Will say that IS a decent night light tonight!

 

[schumigirl]

Making a quick afternoon stop in!

Most of the papers on my desk are shuffled and completed. I am just going to enjoy the slow season for us.

Enjoyed sleeping in my own bed again and it was a bonus that the house was cool enough to sleep with all the covers on. That's a win in my books.


I am so glad it was a wonderful wedding!!! It sounds like it was amazing! That picture idea sounds like it will be a wonderful reminder of their special day! Things like that are alwasy treasured.

Glad to see you have popped in to post! Sending you many positive thoughts.

Awwww. I hope things start to turn around for you and your family soon. It's amazing how much we miss our four legged furry family members when they are no longer with us. Even if they have only been with us a short time...their loss is always huge!!!!

It sounds like your day off is going well. Enjoy the rest of it!!!!

Sounds like you had a great walk! Enjoy that tea!!! I can't wait to see and hear some tales of your Scotland trip!

Edited to add this to my quote from @J'aime Paris
I have a growing list of things I want to buy at IKea on our next big city visit. Dh better brace himself for the final total when we check out Enjoy your trip there. It sounds like you will have a great day together!

Well....NOW I can go.

Stay safe everyone!!!!!

We are too hot at night right now, yes, it is nice when it`s cooler to sleep. And enjoy that quieter time coming up......

Think I`m in the minority and won`t shop in IKEA. I never see anything I like, except for a few kitchen items and I do like their meatballs and sauce they sell.....lol....but you can make all that yourself so we never visit it. But, enjoy and hope you buy lots of things.......



Rain all during the night and still raining this morning, but looks to be brighter times ahead for us. I think the garden has needed this block of rain. The sprinklers have been working, but they don`t cover every part and some of the trees and bushes needed a good downpour.

Going to try and get to some stores this morning for one thing and another, although might wait till the rain eases, definitely no walking this morning for us, and some rain forecast the rest of the week too I think. We have had some gorgeous weather this year so far, so we can`t complain.

Slow cooking some boneless and skinless chicken thighs in a morroccan style dish tonight, sweet and spicy and almost a winter dish, but done in the slow cooker it`s perfect. Very warming aromas of cinammon and spice will develop. Lunch is roast beef sandwiches and breakfast is easy....poached eggs.

And Tuesday again.....feels like a Monday though........

Happy Tuesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, no rain yet for us, Schumi. You’d like our forecast. Heat Advisory issued again, with 93 the high, and enough humidity, feel like temps will be in 3 digits.

Sunny and very bright start, but with that high humidity, we too may see rain in the late afternoon. As such, clouds will make it a more overcast looking day by mid morning. Ah, even heard the AC working, 73 degrees out already.

As such, no cooking in the kitchen today. Yep, be like Mac and enjoy a taco or two from Taco Bell for dinner tonight. Yay homies, a Taco Tuesday is here.

And so, that back to routine has begun. Still up before the sun, and tea for me. Off to see what is an easy breakfast. Maybe oatmeal. Not sure. Eh, pantry is generally stocked, so it’s more like what in mood for.

Have that terrific Taco Tuesday homies. And enjoy the weather, wet or not.

Taco Bell day

 

[Pumpkin1172]

early morning stop in!

Worked a shift last night. They called at the last minute as someone called in sick, so I took it.

Restrictions have totally lifted in our province - finally!!! It was nice to run into a store last night with no mask on!!!! It was weird, exhilarating and slightly terrifying all at the same time. Our number locally are very low....we had one new case in our city over the weekend...with only 11 active cases in a city and surrounding area of about 150,000 people. For now, we will go without masks, but I can see using them again once it's winter and flu season is around us again. Now to wait for travel restrictions to lift and the boarder to open. So many people are sitting on pins and needles waiting to pull the trigger on vacations.

Beautiful day here so far. There are clear blue skies and the sun is shinning brightly. It is going to be a warm one again today. I'll take all the warm days we can get. I would love to whip up some banana muffins to grab for morning lunches...but I don't want to heat up the house turning the oven on. I'm trying to figure out how I could possibly make them in the air fryer. My air fryer has a bake button. I might have to try that out. I will have to run on my lunch and see if I can find a silicone muffin pan or something to use. This could be an interesting adventure

Well, I'm off to shuffle some papers and complete some invoicing.

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Pumpkin. We use the bake button on our air fryer, as sometimes we bake stuff that we’d rather not fry. Saves me from lighting my big oven. And hope the border will open soon. I know many have families on both sides of the border, including mine, and it’s been tough on all, with family visits and vacations having to be delayed. I hope the borders open for all to visit where they had planned.

 

[schumigirl]

LG.....sounds not too bad weather wise for you......certainly enjoy it......


Pumpkin......I`ve still to fall in love with my air fryer....I don`t use it too often and have never used the bake setting. I have an Aga and a regular oven, much prefer to use them. But, we do have huge bifold doors in the new part of the kitchen so they lay wide open in the heat when they`re on......otherwise I doubt I`d cook or bake as much as I do.......
Congrats on your restrictions being lifted.....I can imagine how you`ll feel with that........We have two weeks till most restrictions are lifted, but I do think they`ll come back as winter falls......even if the numbers are doctored.......I do like Singapore`s idea now....it`s being treated as flu now, which it will be for most people now.



Slow cooked Moroccan sweet and spicy chicken was gorgeous. I think the slow cooker was completely drained of every piece of it including the sauce. Very filling too. Then what was left of the strawberry ice cream I made last night.

Had a good catch up with a couple of friends tonight.......won`t be long till we see them of course. Rain has been on and off all night, but looks good for walking tomorrow again.

Almost bedtime here....almost. Watching The Good Wife from the beginning......just started the first episode, looks good.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, quite the noisy thunder, not much rain, and the ooh lightning, as lights flickered when that too close for comfort strike. But quiet now, so storm has rolled on to bother someone else.

I hope those in Elsa’s path are safe. Sending good thoughts all are well and not flooded or have damage from the hurricane.

Well kids want mac and cheese for dinner. I can do. Older one wants to mix ground sausage with his, so I’ll cook that up, then he can add to his share, as will DH too, because both little one and I would rather not have that in our share. But will chop up some red peppers to add, as well as some tomatoes. Both will add color and a bit of crunch. Easy dinner. Why yes, please.

And ooh, so glad I booked HRH next month when I did. Last time I looked, the AP rate was 150 dollars a night higher. Guess many of us took that decent AP rate when I saw it weeks ago. And even my SF rate for Fall has gone higher too. Pays to book early, cancel and book again if see a better rate.

 

[Lynne G]

Why hello camel. Yeah, another day of that heat advisory issued. So staying cool I hope, camel.

And our AC is already running. A foggy 72 degrees already. Guess that’s from those three or four thunderstorms that rolled by with their absolutely truck loud thunder and lightning strikes last night. Heard the fire whistle once last night too. Guess one of those strikes hit something needing fire truck help? Did not smell fire, so was not near enough to us. But lights flickered twice last night. Think all were glad we did not loose power.

But as a peeking out of the shade camel reminder means only one thing. Woot! A Wednesday is here. Yay, even with a shorter week, most are happy with today being a wonderful Wednesday. And that ooh oh happy Friday feeling is now only in 2 days. Quite that mid week hump of a day is a Wednesday indeed.

So homies, welcome to this Wonderful Wednesday. Marching down the days of July, and hoping to hear of a cry of a baby today. Yep, I am hoping all goes well for mom and baby, and I will have a newly born great niece or great nephew today. Some of us think will be a girl, but only will know when announcement is made. The two older siblings are excited. Yay, my niece and her DH will happily soon have a family of 5.

Tea time. Bought some animal crackers, so those with some strawberries that looked good enough to buy on sale this weekend. Yay, time of year fruits are cheaper and better tasting, and even some are local grown.

Good Morning homies. ☀

 

[Charade67]

Quick good morning before work. Today's excitement will be writing the new outgoing phone message. I'm going to change it from what it has been for the past several years.

I think we have someone coming by the house today to give an estimate on some home improvements we want to do. DH is starting to get overwhelmed. I told him that we should try to do one project at a time, but he is trying to get 3 different things completed this summer. We want to paint the interior of the house, get new flooring, and repair the steps to our front door. I think painting is the most important one, but he has only gotten one estimate for that so far.

Time to go. Hope everyone has a nice day.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Scotland is beautiful, we didn`t take a lot of pictures this time, but we did get a few.

Oh kebabs would be chosen here too......love the sound of them, well minus the mushrooms here.....although Tom loves mushrooms, but never gets them as I can`t eat them.....poor guy!!

Hope the baking turns out well.......I`m not the best baker, but most turn out edible at least. Yes, we`re so lucky here fireworks aren`t an issue.....where we used to live was a nightmare especially around Bonfire Night and NY.

The kababs turned out great! I was fairly proud of my grilling skills...
DH said we need to have these again soon!

Making a quick afternoon stop in!

Stay safe everyone!!!!!

Had a lot of fun with BFF! Ikea was a partial success....2 things we wanted were out of stock. Oh well, another trip may need to happen!

Ah the Monday night blues, when the back to routine starts tomorrow. And a hehe, I said countdown was like in the 50’s. Little one said 39 more days of camp. Ah, so first countdown is now 41. So, woot, for a less than 7 weeks countdown, and a shorter week.

So, alarm has been set, trash has left the house, but yard waste will wait until next week to be taken away. Still very warm out. So kids went to get water ice. Hope there is not a long line. Or get bitten. Time of day the bugs are out.

Thus, have a good night sleep, as tacos should be on the menu tomorrow. Yay!

Abd since it just almost a half hour past sundown, here’s your night light, as no stubbed toes tonight.

And yeah, seems neighbors must have saved some fireworks for tonight.

They better stop soon. I need my beauty sleep.

Countdown is ticking downward nicely!
Great nightlight!

Another cuisine I don't think I've ever tried....Moroccan. You always have such lovely meal ideas Carole!

It was possibly our hottest day of 2021. The humidity alone was bad, and my car read 97 on my way home from lunch yesterday, ugh!

I went back and forth on the air fryer. In the end, I couldn't give up the counter space. But I know many who love them...

Good to reserve those rooms and check back for any additional discounts offered! Us Universal veterans know a few tricks!
I think anyone late to the party will be paying much more.

Good Morning homies. ☀

Our weather turned on a dime last night. We will only have a high of 65 today and probably rain. A big departure from yesterdays hot/humid.

Quick good morning before work. Today's excitement will be writing the new outgoing phone message. I'm going to change it from what it has been for the past several years.

I think we have someone coming by the house today to give an estimate on some home improvements we want to do. DH is starting to get overwhelmed.

We want to paint the interior of the house, get new flooring, and repair the steps to our front door. I think painting is the most important one, but he has only gotten one estimate for that so far.

Time to go. Hope everyone has a nice day.

The process of doing the home improvements can be tedious, but it's so wonderful when the projects are all finished! Hope yours go smoothly!






The trip to Ikea was a great day! Got some quality time with my BFF, and bought some fun trinkets. I am such a sucker for all the food/treat items....they are so yummy!
DD specifically looked for a duvet cover and bedside table. Both of which were unfortunately out of stock. She did find a lamp that she wanted though. It was noticeable that the store was under-stocked in many things. Not sure if this is an ongoing effect of covid, but kinda unusual for Ikea.


Lunch with BFF and son was nice as well! He loved his whisky and his new shirt....he went right into the bathroom to change into it! He is high functioning autistic and is very obsessed with beards. So this shirt brought on the biggest of smiles! He also texted last night to let us know that he tried the whisky, and enjoyed it.





The Milwaukee Bucks lost game 1 of the NBA finals. So the day ended on a low note. Hoping we can do better on Thursday night.
We will DVR the game, since we have tickets to see the Milwaukee Brewers that night. It's gonna be crazy busy downtown with both of those happening at the same time!!


Less than 3 weeks until Boston! I have air and hotel booked, that's it.
Can anyone chime in with suggestions????

 

[schumigirl]

Lori....the kebabs look fabulous! yes, I can see why your DH wants them again....everything tastes amazing off the grill for sure.

I love moroccan food......I think it`s another cuisine where it takes time for the flavours to develop......I`m a fan of food that`s not seen as quick and easy.....but so tasty and as long as cinammon is in there, you can`t go far wrong.

I do have plenty of counter space, but hate leaving things sitting out....my friend that passed away always used to wonder why my kitchen was always so tidy....hers looked like she had no workspace left at all......lol.....but, I just wasn`t keen on it. Seems ideal for a lot of fast food which we don`t really eat.

It`s funny you mention low stock in IKEA, we popped into a garden centre today and their furniture stock is still low. Better than last year, but much less than usual. I think Covid is still having an effect.

Love your friends son shirt!




Busy day again today.......long walk this morning along the waterfront and the weather is baking hot again.....laundry was dry in less than an hour outside. It`s been lovely just sitting outside again after a few days of rain.

Benefit is, everything looks greener than usual. There has to be an upside of living in a rainy country. Trees are fuller and we do need to get someone to give them a good cutback. Our gardener doesn`t have the tools to do what an arborist can do, they`re just too tall. Will look at that at the end of the summer.

Grilling outside tonight, spicy pork steaks and some marinaded chicken thighs. Lots of salad and a side dish I`ll make soon.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Wednesday morning stop in!

Busy evening last night. Had to go out and do some grocery shopping. The cupboards were looking a little bare. So they at least have a few items again. By the time we picked up a few items, whipped up some supper and paid bills, it was almost time for bed.

My brother-in-law and his gf are finally able to travel now, and they are visiting this weekend for a couple of days before they fly across the country to go visit her dad who has been sick. So we are looking forward to seeing them...but I'm also looking forward to being home for the weekend to just relax and putter around the house and yard with no real agenda. We are needing a little down time. We are under another heat advisory again. Not nearly the temps we experienced earlier, but still warm. Just our regular hot Canada/Alberta weather.

Pumpkin......I`ve still to fall in love with my air fryer....I don`t use it too often and have never used the bake setting. I have an Aga and a regular oven, much prefer to use them. But, we do have huge bifold doors in the new part of the kitchen so they lay wide open in the heat when they`re on......otherwise I doubt I`d cook or bake as much as I do.......

I don't want to be one of " those" people that use an airfyer for absolutely everything I just didn't want to heat up the house at night before bed lol. I'm NOT an early morning person to get up and bake when the house is cool lol. I also prefer baking in my oven - but that's just me!!! Maybe over the weekend I can whip up a bunch of muffins to freeze and take out as needed.

I think we have someone coming by the house today to give an estimate on some home improvements we want to do. DH is starting to get overwhelmed. I told him that we should try to do one project at a time, but he is trying to get 3 different things completed this summer.

So much fun!!!! I hope that change over of phone systems goes seamlessly.

The kababs turned out great! I was fairly proud of my grilling skills...

Those looked very yummy and amazing!!! I might have to think of trying something like that over the weekend!!!! Going to put that on my list of weekend meals

Ds got his second shot yesterday. He was anxious to get it done...and just wants to have life go back to normal. Poor kid....he missed out on soooo much in the last 16 months at such a pivotal time in his life. Hopefully he can start to relax now and enjoy his summer and get to spend as much time as he can with his friends before everyone starts to go their separate ways.

Well...I should get started shuffling these papers on my desk , and get some invoicing done. Have a great day everyone!!!!!!

It is kids that age that you really feel for in all of this. Hope he`s ok with the second shot and yes, can start to get his life back again and especially enjoy the summer.

I love baking early in the morning , very much morning people in this house......yes, baking in a real oven works for me, Aga or regular electric. I doubt the air fryer will become an essential item for me.

Watch out for that heat pumpkin and good to hear you`re getting to see family again, it means so much.

 

[Lynne G]

I think the supply lines are behind as stores’ stocks are low at many places, Paris. Glad your kabobs were a hit. They looked delicious.

Pumpkin, always good to have relaxing days. And glad to hear of family travels. Aww, hope DS is okay after getting his second shot. For what it’s worth, I thought the second shot was easier. Glad he will be protected soon. And yeah, felt bad for all those graduations that had to not be, or much different than planned, and disruptions of many students’ scheduled plans.

Ah, poor AC has been running most of the morning. Lunch was a salad, as not feeling much to eat. Snacking more kinda day. And phone warns of thunderstorms again for the next 24 hours. Lunchtime news said chance of rain again around dinner time. And we are tracking Elsa, as still enough of a storm, that will give us rain as it travels along the Northern Atlantic coast. Shore news has posted warnings of rough surf and sea. As long as the storm stays more and more out to sea, the less rain bands will reach where we live. But for now, saying we will get rain from Elsa. At least thankful not a snow bearing Nor’Easter.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

@schumigirl it is time for them to start living again. We are not pushing too hard for him to hunt down a job yet. We want him to be able to enjoy the summer. After summer, he is planning to get a job. He wants to save to be able to go to school for as an aviation mechanic. There are only a few places here in Canada to learn that trade...so he will need to save some $$$ to do it. Things change...but that's his plan for now. Dh is hoping by fall, there might be a spot for him on one of their teams that have big projects starting in the fall.

DH is an EARLY morning peep too. If I can sleep until 8:00 AM...I am a happy woman on the weekends lol. Then be able to sit with my weekend coffee and bailey's and do a little scrolling...then get to puttering and putzing and whatever we have planned.

@Lynne G I hope that you only get rain. I am NOT a storm lover. I like a nice salad for lunch - I hope your was yummy! I seem to be favoring ones with some nice summer fruits with a nice light honey/dijon vinagrette. Super easy and simple...but delicious and light on these warm summer days.

 

[RAPstar]

Finally getting my wisdom teeth taken out hopefully next week. I'm changing dentists cause the one I've been going to only has a surgeon my insurance covers in Allen (which is like an hour drive from me), so I'm going to one that I already verified I'd be able to get it done closer to home.

And I'm so ready for vacation I can taste it.

 

[Charade67]

I am currently going insane. (Insurance again) Will explain later.

 

[Lynne G]
