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

Well I got blocked out of that Dis this morning and finally able to post

In case I get knocked off line again just want to say to Schumi hope she sets her alarm clock for her car service time Tuesday
After over a year wait, this is one she does not want to oversleep on

Happy trails to you Schumi and have a great vacation!
 
Everything went well at the vet. We are waiting on results of blood work, but so far everything looks good. The vet suggested that it might be stress and anxiety. She asked if there had been any changes at the house like new animals or construction. :rolleyes1
she sent home some prescription food, but he just sat and stared at it. I hope that’s just because he was still groggy from the anesthesia.

Well done to Schumi ahead of the game with Christmas. None around us yet but we are planning to do ours next weekend as the following weekend we are busy.

Kev now has his workshop built and all tools etc in there leaving lots of space in the garage. Plan is that all Christmas items will be kept in there in future to save the haul from the loft as we get older. I have an awful lot of Christmas crockery and it will be a benefit not to have to lift those heavy boxes again. Another benefit is the arrival of an additional fridge freezer so I can certainly prepare for the holidays.

Lovely day today starting with brunch at Picturedrome. An old cinema now home to a number of independent food stands. After eating there we walked up to the launch of Christmas events in the town. Brass band etc were very festive. Then we popped into Church.

Very tired again now though so feet up and Mary Poppins on tv. Em is going to get us a take out later.

Peaceful evening all x
The darling little girl is so gorgeous!
 

Safe trip to Schumi tomorrow. So happy for you to be able to travel again. Both Keisha and I have about a 2 hour flight.

Ended up with cheese ravioli. Tasty and I guess I need to make more, as was eaten quickly. Thinking some ice cream would go well with tea. Soon maybe.

Glad to hear Caspian is okay Charade. I guess with all the work being done on the house, he’s a nervous cat. Hopefully he can be somewhere where he’s not hearing or seeing the work, though I’m sure the new floors will be hard to not have him know what’s going on.

And so it’s akready very dark out, thus more lights from our fun trip to the zoo:

Wishing all have that most wonderful restful sleep.
 
My cat is going to make me nuts. We got home from the vet around 1:30, and I put out a little wet food and a little dry. He wouldn’t touch either of them. He just sits in one place and stares into space. I hope this is just recovery from the anesthesia. Poor kitty looks stoned. Finally, around 8:00 I tried spoon feeding him some fresh wet food. He gobbled that up. I hope he isn’t expecting that treatment for every meal.
 
Thank you and I hope you have a safe trip. :flower3:

Thanks Todd…..be sure to drop us a note if you’re going to the parks at anytime and if we’re around would be nice to say hello if we’re there at the same time….. :wave2:

Lol it’s been clocking in at 1:45 but they tend to overstate to avoid that late penalty

lol……as a Brit I have no idea who Woodstock is…….I did work it out from your meme though……

Yes, I thought It was under the 2 hours last time, hmmm…..I think we could manage that, I’m a sucker for home made cornbread!!!

You may be expected to feed like that from now on……lol…….nah, he’ll eat when he’s hungry. Hope he does better today and back to normal again.
 
Good morning all.

Charade do hope kitty settles down. Can understand trauma from construction!

Soniam glad your family arrived safely. Enjoy your trip.

Safe travels to Schumi. Our DIL is returning to Virgin Atlantic in the New Year. They will be running four flights a day to Orlando from Manchester as demand is so huge. Already offering us to look at trips but we are happy with the one we have planned for April so far. Think we will wait till 2023 for Disney but may take her up on some short trips if we can fit around child and dog care.

We have fencing/gate contractors here this week. Doing a great job and will make a nice secure and solid entry for our caravan. We are lucky to have the land for storage as all local storage facilities have long waiting lists. So many people taking to the roads. So looking forward to exploring areas close to home - we have a huge list of sites all within a 100 miles for next year.

What are you all cooking for Thanksgiving? I remember Mac said she is having pizza.
 
Good Morning Julie. Glad to hear your DIL will be back to work soon. Nice to have outdoor fence work, and will be more secure once at home. Sounds great to do some exploring within a few hours drive. My older one wants to head past Keisha in the Spring, as he will get a week off for being at work for a year. It will be lots of miles and some overnights along the way and back, but looking forward to it. While we have lots of historic sites in my City, older one is a military history fan as well as a general history one, so we will be museum going much further away. Thinking of maybe flying in part of the way, to cut down on travel. Told him, that will be booking that as we get into the new year. But as there’s enough to do here, we are not traveling for the holidays. Will have what is traditionally for Thanksgiving. And turkey with all the sides. Little one does not like stuffing, nor sweet potatoes, so mashed taters will be on the menu too. Corn, cranberry sauce, gravy and rolls and bread. Dessert will be pies, so bringing chocolates and brownies, as I know little one will not eat pies either. And I’m sure the chocolate items will be enjoyed by others too. My sister’s doing most of the cooking, so the kids and I will be going to help her in the early morning. We tend to eat an early dinner, so that all can go home not too late in the night.

But as today, it’s a Tuesday. Yay!

Ah yes, Mac may be ordering pizza on Thursday, but this is a Taco Tuesday, woot! A Taco Bell dinner should be the menu for her today.

And hope Schumi is somewhere over the ocean, relaxing and ready to enjoy the parks soon enough.

For me? Yeah, maybe tacos today, but more that still have some of that steak around, and kids bought teriyaki sauce, so thinking more like Chinese food dinner.

Finally, yeah still a routine day for me, yea and screen viewing well before that clear sky the cold weather system made. Um you know, 26 says the thermometer. Clear skies? check. Wind making it feel even colder? Check. But with clear conditions all day, will be happy to wear my sunglasses for lunchtime walk. Yeah, and a hat and jacket too.

Totally Terrific Taco Tuesday homies. Rock those shades, and hope you enjoy a taco or two in a much warmer climate than me.

And a hearty good morning in this cool predawn time. Yeah, almost still a half hour away from sunrise. Time of year, start working when it’s pitch black in the mornings, and that early evening darkness when done.

Tea? Yes! More. Hope Pumpkin’s tea cup is extra large, and no holes. Mine is routinely with holes, so I have a very large tea kettle. Off to pour more tea. Yeah, routine week day. Yep.

Waiting for youngest to bop around so I can have him do a hands on Turkey prep He decided to host his annual Friendsgiving next Saturday. I won’t quite be home to cater it as the norm. May the Schwartz be with him. In his favor, 20 yo somethings normally not gourmands,


My cats always get that buzz from the anesthesia but the munchies kick in hours later
Same:hippie:

pizza shops all closed here on holidays. Usually only random Chinese or the large hotels/restaurants. Maybe could do take out there?
What are you all cooking for Thanksgiving?
Still whittling down the likely suspects here

wow, nice to have a family member work fir airline if that equates to discounts!

Pittsburgh has well regarded but, smaller museums. especially fond of the natural history one at the Carnegie next to PITT.

if Thinking into Ohio consider detouring up to Sandusky/cedar point for a night for the killer coasters
 
Yeah Keisha. He wants to go to the air museum in Ohio, so staying much more South. Will get a better idea of what and where when we plot it out in a couple of months. Could toss something at ya, if we go near Pitt. Hehe, neither of my in 20’s year old kids are in any kind of getting up yet. Nice to give him food for his dinner. Safe travels to you. Heard the parks had long lines. To be fair, it’s that all open time of year crowds. I love all that what’s holiday decor and experiences.

Woot! The sun is out! Yay!
