Crikey……drive safe, that looks dreadful!




Well, as predicted we went with cocktails this afternoon….

Pineapple Ciroc vodka coladas…….

They were very nice.

Had a couple and now enjoying a bottle of wine watching Disclosure with Michael Douglas and Demi Moore…..good movie. Enjoyed some beautiful Thai food for dinner tonight, takeout but so good. Had a mix of seafood and spicy chicken dishes, very fragrant.

Nice way to spend a Saturday evening…….
 
Was a nice way to spend tonight Schumi.

Eek, safe travels Charade. Not as much snow here, but instead of being very wet snow, was very icy, with the sleet or freezing rain before it turned to snow. That wind has been very biting, and can hear it whipping the house. Older one said he’s working overtime, so said be ever so careful, as black ice can be on the roads. By the time he leaves, it will be 23 out, with wind chills in the low teens. Low of 18 in the overnight. Saying, 19 degrees to be the temp at 8 am tomorrow. Sunday will be a cold day, overcast and not even see a 40 degree high for the day. Very cool, and wind filled, icy snow weekend.

Bought some steaks while out today, so way too cold to do on grill outside. But that’s okay, as it is very thin pieces of steaks, so cheesesteaks for us tonight. Yum. Maybe will do some steamed broccoli with it. Will see when little one is hungry. It’s just a get and me for dinner tonight.
 
And a late Good Sunday morning from a wild and woolly UK.

The wind is back, not as high as it has been, but wild enough to turn back over this morning and go back to sleep......so, a cosy, snuggly and sleepy morning so far. I do enjoy a late sleep now and again.

We have a little rain, so no plans to go out at all today, quite dark out there too for mid morning.

Bacon up for a late breakfast, so doubt we`ll bother with lunch and doing a leg of lamb for dinner tonight, cooking it in red wine, rosemary and garlic and will make a redcurrant sauce to go with it tonight with some of the cooking liquid. And we have a glut of cooking apples, so will make pastry and bake us an apple pie.......

Weather. Ah, that storm is gone, and so is most of the wind, but not that cold air. With that time change, sunrise was about an hour ago. Glorious sunny, but cool. Tried to open the one trash can lid, and it’s frozen shut. Yeah, thermometer says 20 out. High is 38, so I’m hoping we can open the trash cans’ lids before we roll them out after dinner tonight. Though won’t be using my shades soon enough, as by lunchtime, clouds roll in, and no sun to see setting tonight with a cloud covered sky.

I guess a yay for longer days? But still up early, but not as early as I was yesterday or for the week days. Alarm has been set, so will certainly keep my early bedtime tonight. As sigh, it’s a Sunday.

And a new week is here. A green week too. Nope not that being helping not pollute our air, but the color green. As all are Irish with St. Pat’s Day this week. From the weather forecast this week, those parading for the holiday may be wet, with rain. But yay. Those warmer days will be here soon. By Friday, the high temp should be almost 30 degrees warmer than today’s. Yes, from 38 to 72. Surely all that is icy still is this morning, will be a long past memory. Though there was a few years so far, we have seen snow in April. Yep, time for our greenery to start showing life, but not time to plant yet. That ground, while icy snow covered today, will still not be that softer earth planting time. Usually, the chance of frosty air is none by May. So even my one early creamy tulips bloom just around our Mother’s Day. But yeah, through the years, there has been a cool and rainy Memorial Day, and some that were a day that you were happy that fire truck was using its hose to spray the crowds watching the parade. This year? Haven’t even thought about the forecast that far out yet. A cool Spring or a hot one? While a hot one means turning on the cool air instead of that heater still being turned on through the start of this week, I’m still wishing we see those oh my almost record breaking high temps this Spring.

And yay for Charade, while some rain chances this week, close to 90 temps the high in there too. Hope your flight today is uneventful, and enjoying those parks starting today. Fabulous time, and some good food wished for you. Hope those Spring Break crowds are not too bad.

Okay, it’s that more tea for me. Very quiet, with the big tv and barely hearing the dryer, as did a load of wash. DH gone again, so it’s a kids and me day. As older one worked overtime last night, he said he is doing that ever so appropriate day of rest today. Only thing scheduled is a quick visit with my sister, as she wanted some help with her house updating she’s at this time. She’s been in updating mode lately.

And so, we should be out the door soon enough, as little one said she’s going with me to my sister’s. And since yesterday, we did not get going until after lunch yesterday, she does not want to get back as late as dinner time today. Even suggested getting breakfast out. Ooh, well, I have yet to see her, so will make a small bowl of oatmeal, and hope she wants to get going by another hour from now.

Thus may most achieve what older one wants to do today, a relaxing day of rest this Sunday. Good morning from our daylight saving time homie.

Yep. Lost that hour of sleep. Time change. Magically you’re an hour older. :laughing:::yes::

It’s March, we’ve got 8 inches of snow & lost an hour of sleep

Not going to complain, least we don’t have Putin breathing down our necks.

if my CDL holding DH hadn’t been driving on way to airport, pretty sure we’d have joined the other vehicles spun off the road. Saw so many I lost count. Just a couple squalls from Straggling system limping thru today.

Wednesday we will hit 60, the end is in sight!

rewarded ourselves after that drive to a lovely late lunch. A Greek place, with a general menu too. I went with comfort food

Look at the size of that rib eye for under $20. Yum! Brought half home. The mr grabbed a steak hoagie
It`s a classic Greek dish.......quite rich and delicious
The few Greek restaurants here are awesome. My kids guilted me out of eating veal & lamb decades ago. Every now & again I sneak a gyro. The chicken ones just not the same lol
Current driving conditions.
Oh what fun. Saw deeper south people losing it over an inch of snow as not accustomed
This year?
I’m guessing warm spring & hot summer. Sadly, with active tornado & hurricane season due to climate changes
 
We are way to early at the airport. First we thought we would have to fight the breakfast crowds. The pancake houses in Williamsburg are usually very busy on the weekends. We had no wait for breakfast, so that put us ahead of schedule. We decided to go ahead an drive to the airport. It was about 45 minutes away. We figured that there may be traffic delays or a line to get through TSA. Nope. We breezed through ticketing and TSA and are now waiting at the gate with a group of people leaving on a flight before us. I now wish I had brought a book.

Keisha - 8 inches?? That is way too much snow for March. Thankfully none of ours hung around. We just had the solid ice over the license plate.

Oh I couldn`t give up lamb!! One of my favourites....veal I don`t mind if I eat it or not......we have very few Greek restaurants anywhere, but I`m happy making my own dishes like moussaka and so on.

Oh that food looks so good!!! Glad you made it there safely, I hate travelling in snow or ice......

Our clocks don`t go forward for another 2 weeks. Usually we have a week between our change and America`s time change. Doesn`t bother me one way or the other with the time change.....I do like that extra hour sleep in the winter though.

Glad you made it through with no lines at the airport, hope you have a good flight.





Lamb smells beautiful.....well as do the garlic and rosemary I can smell too. Apples are cooked down, pastry is ready to roll out anytime......not much left to do now......cup of tea and a slice of lemon cake I think.
 
Thanks for sharing, your awesome room, Charade. Yay for getting there safely and a pixie dust upgrade.

Pumpkin, hope that means you are in the city safely too.
 
Ah yep, Pi day it is. And ugh, a Monday.

Even with the time change, still up much before our sunrise. At least we are above freezing this morning. But only by 2 degrees. Though warmer times are coming, as today’s high temp is 57. And once again, this cloudy start will clear for the sunrise and morning, but clouds will arrive in the afternoon, to make a cloudy sunset again. But any sun should start to remove the icy snow that still can be seen on the grassy areas and some blacktops. Hehe, some of our roads are white, from being bleached by all the salt spread on them the other day.

Ah, tea and maybe a yawn. Feeling that Monday feeling for sure. But wishing all have a most marvelous Monday.
 
Schumi I’ll have to look up a recipe for that Greek dish, but currently dreaming of corned beef 🤣 literally! Crazy. I had a dream last night of going out looking for a corned beef lol.

Charade hope you drove thru that storm safely. I’m not quite caught up yet. For breakfast I love to go to Captain Cooks. Can get the Tonga Toast and sausage there! And no reservations needed. Good to do on an MK day, just hop on monorail, boat or walk to the park
 
Keisha even the car looks disgruntled lol!

Charade I’d rather be too early at the airport than too late and stressed. You never know what kind of crowds you’ll encounter at airports between checking in at airline desk for luggage and security esp spring break.
What a great upgrade! New rooms look wonderful. I love the extra cubbies in the bathroom.

Pumpkin drive by!

Lynne glad you’re weather will be improving. We are grey skies and heavy periods of rain today. In the 40’s

💅 day for me. Noon.
Been a pretty quiet week. Periodically I check my flights for August. And yep there was a change. Honestly I don’t understand for 5 min change you have to click accept.

Yesterday at church we heard there were 3 people who tested positive for Covid from the funeral. Fortunately I wasn’t anywhere near them. Friends of the family. Covid isn’t done with us yet I’m afraid. Glad I was wearing a mask.
Mandates for masks have just lifted here in most cases. Some exceptions. At church they’re still required. After seeing how sick my brother in law was I think I’ll still be wearing one indoors.

Spring break here. Good time to stay away from malls and movies lol.

Going to get tickets for Music of the Night. It is showcasing Andew Lloyd Webers music from all his shows. Celebrating 75th birthday. Touring company. Should be a great show.
At the end of the month going with my daughters to Cirqyea de Soleil Alegria
Was my Christmas present! I’m very excited as I’ve never seen a show. The one at wdw had clowns :sad2:
