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

[Robo56]

Good Tuesday early morning Sans family

Well surprisingly we loved Top Gun......it was fantastic and held our attention all the way through. I`ll watch it again when it comes on the movie channels.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the movie and your cinema experience was good.

Just as I finished typing the previous post the chimney noised started up again.

Sounds like a squirrel.

I hope your mom is feeling better.


Pumkin restful weekends are good.


It turned really hot here Sunday night. Going to be in the 90’s next few days. Lizard weather for sure.

Yesterday morning I looked out the window and a big squirrel was sitting on my mail box eating one is my marigolds. I have planters on either side of the mailbox and the squirrel had pulled off a large yellow marigold top and was having a good munch. I opened the front door and and it saw me and it threw the marigold in the air and took off running.

Woke up way to early. Going to lay back down for an hour.

Finally getting to do a quick stop in!

I blinked and it was Monday morning and time to hit the shower and get myself to work. Good thing I swing through the Tim's drive-thru and pick up a tea. That is probably the only thing that got me out of bed today.

The weekend went by too fast! The boys got all the repairs done on the boat trailer, there is new fresh gas in the gas tank of the boat and it's ready to hit the water! Hopefully the forecast is wrong and we won't be seeing much rain the week or weekend.

I didn't get much of anything really accomplished this weekend. It was a rather lazy weekend for me. My body must have needed the break. So there was lots of sitting with the remote in my hands lol. I did get a walk outside in, meals were made, groceries were purchased, a little bit of tidying, and I got the last of my bedding plants planted. So it wasn't a total write off.


I hope you are able to find a replacement you like. Sigh...I understand the struggle, as I have had my fair share of horrible haircuts. I seem to be a magnet for the bad stylists. I have a great one now, who I know from my management days when I was a manager of a salon supply store.

Yikes! The sounds heavy. I know the course I was in was compressed into one semester as well. I only did part time studies, and found it challenging at times. Usually around the 8 week mark when when sooooooo deep into it, but yet looking for the end date and it still seems so far away yet.

We had our flights changed when we flew as well. I heard my manager swearing about changes made for his upcoming trip as well. I really don't think it's going to get better in the coming months. With people wanting to travel, redeem any credits they have and just a general need to escape from the insanity that has been the last 2+ years. I told dh we just have to deal with it, and not complain as we are blessed to be able to even do it or plan it given the current economy.

Sending many prayers of strength and healing to her. NO WONDER she was complaining I hope she continues to heal fast.

It's great to hear you liked it. Dh and the boys want to go to the city and watch it in Imax. It is on here locally too, just not as great as the Imax screens in the city. I have VERY mixed feelings about seeing it. Part of me really does as I loved that movie as a teenager - but the other part of me absolutely cringes as Mr. Cruise is just soooooooooooooo cringy and his creepy factor is soooo high. Just knowing his level of creepiness with Scientology knowing what they do to people, makes me not want to see it.

Well, I have one more paper to shuffle before the end of the day, I will take my time with it to drag it out

Have a great evening everyone!

I know what you mean about Tom Cruise.....but if we held every actor up against something we disagreed with, there`d be no-one to watch! I think he`s a fruit loop, but he makes some very good films.

It is hot today….
Heat index is 106

Temps only 96 and predicted 97 tomorrow

Pumpkin….was it hot tea or iced tea you bought?

I liked that movie Top Gun
Mr Cruise I’m not a fan of but he did a great job in that movie !

You`re correct.....TG was a phenomenal movie of it`s time, and this one stands up very well for being a follow up. It was an excellent movie, we really enjoyed it

wow......I`m coming to visit you!!!

That is glorious weather.........

No more news about Mom yet. Hopefully no news is good news.

I decided to take today off school. I really need to do laundry and do a little cleaning around the house.
I woke up just before 3:00 today. I went to the living room and could hear sounds in the chimney. There was something in there, but I have no idea what. The noise finally stopped around 6:00. We called pest control this morning and they are coming tomorrow to have a look.


I always get the seat kicker behind me. I was so glad when our theaters finally started letting us pick our seats. Now If I am in one of the smaller theaters I will sit on the back row, and if I am in one of the larger theaters I will sit on the back row of the first section.

Sounds like my husband. He has recently switched from Diet Dew to Mountain Dew Zero. I thin her has about half a dozen 6 packs stashed around the kitchen.

Thankfully summer is the only semester this happens. I am not looking forward to the last 2 weeks of June.

Yes, we always have the back row too......back row yesterday was busier than the rest of the cinema......lol.....but we had gaps between us and with the seats being much larger the gap did seem even bigger.

Hope you get some good news on your mum soon.

Good Tuesday early morning Sans family

Love me some Big Bang stuff!!! And love that song.....it`s our go to when one of us is off colour........lol.......

You are getting some very hot weather right now!! Enjoy that lizard time and hope you got back to some snooze time this morning.....love a good snooze instead of getting up when you don`t have to!!

Good to see you......






Had a lovely morning.....went out very early and met some friends for a walk on the beachfront. With the dogs we walked much farther than planned......so think I`ll be sitting down the rest of the day!! Lovely day though, as we went out so early it wasn`t overly warm and not overly sunny, so perfect for a long walk with no jackets needed.

Washing out on the line though, it`ll be dry in no time at all with how warm it`s turning out to be now.

Planning to bbq for lunch and dinner today......lots of salads to prepare and no cooking for me! Just the prep.....lol.....

Happy Tequila Tuesday​

 

[Charade67]

The verdict is - we have birds. We are now contacting companies to get estimates on chimney cap replacement.

 

[Lynne G]

Good thing your not watching a Hitchcock movie, Charade. LoL

At least you know what got into the chimney. Yep, time to secure it again.

 

[macraven]

Lynne…. making it another Taco Bell day for dinner..
Terrific -taco- Tuesday for us!

Too stinking hot to cook..

Oh you`ll need to get that sorted, hope it`s not too expensive.

Lynne…. making it another Taco Bell day for dinner..

Not too stinking hot over here.....lol......but Tom has grilled for us tonight......that`s his job as he tells me!

I never did get the taste for Tacos or most Mexican food.....too much cheese, cilantro and other stuff I don`t like.

I do make my own nachos, but with chicken instead of the dreaded chili.....





Had a good selection tonight.....even enjoyed a grilled portobello mushroom, very chunky and steak like. Marinaded that in soy, hot honey, sweet balsamic vinegar and spice. Janet made me think of the ingredients as she mentioned her Romanian steak the other day, so used it with the steak too and it was quite delicious.

Caribbean chicken was also on offer and teriyaki beef that ended up being hoisin beef as I didn`t have my glasses on and made the wrong mix.....it was gorgeous though!

Stick a fork in us.........

That movie terrified me as a child. I wasn’t able to watch it all the way through until I was well into my adult years.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Finally making a Taco Tuesday stop in!

Somewhat busy morning doing the paper shuffle. I ran to walfart over lunch to find something different and quick to warm up for lunch today. I picked a frozen healthy bowl. It's ok...I wouldn't pick it again But at least my tummy won't be growling all afternoon. There were no leftovers for me to bring to work today.

I couldn't have timed my lunch break any better. When I got back, I looked to the east, and seen a very dark, ominous cloud that is now pouring rain.

Roast chicken is on the menu for tonight in the airfryer. It is sooo delicious airfried/roasted. Good thing, I wasn't counting on using the grill tonight, or I would be doing a menu change.

Yesterday morning I looked out the window and a big squirrel was sitting on my mail box eating one is my marigolds. I have planters on either side of the mailbox and the squirrel had pulled off a large yellow marigold top and was having a good munch. I opened the front door and and it saw me and it threw the marigold in the air and took off running.

I watch across the street at the neighbor's squirrel. The elderly neighbor who passed earlier this spring, has had a squirrel in his tree for a few years now. This squirrel visits all the close houses (ours included) but he seems to reside in the neighbors trees. I told dh that I hope he stays there and doesn't migrate across the street to reside in our yard

I know what you mean about Tom Cruise.....but if we held every actor up against something we disagreed with, there`d be no-one to watch! I think he`s a fruit loop, but he makes some very good films.

LOL...that's exactly what I thought! I love going to the theatre and watching movies on the big screens - so I'm pretty sure I will tag along with them. I l will get past the cringe factor - but I am definitely not mesmerized or dazzled by him anymore. You are right - he has made some good movies.

The verdict is - we have birds.

I hope you get it sorted quickly. We had birds in our woodstove flue once growing up. They are only looking for a great place to build a protected nest

Well, I should shuffle a few more papers around.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Charade67]

Quick late night stop in. I talked to my mom today. She was complaining about everything, so I guess that means she is feeling better.

Tried something new for dinner tonight. It was a simple crockpot cheesy chicken and rice dish with broccoli. Not a single bite left over. Everyone agreed that this recipe is a keeper.

Oh you`ll need to get that sorted, hope it`s not too expensive.

We got one quote from the pest control company. It seemed really high, so we are going to get a few more quotes.

I hope you get it sorted quickly. We had birds in our woodstove flue once growing up. They are only looking for a great place to build a protected nest

I told dh that they went into the chimney after he evicted them from our grill.


I have one more discussion board topics to write about in my editing class. We have to watch a video about the top 10 edited scenes in movie history, pick one scene and write about it. One was the shower scene from Psycho. I decided to watch the movie tonight. I had never seen it in its entirety before. So creepy.

So many look at squirrels as cute and cuddly, they`re vermin and considered vermin in this country and they can do some damage if they get into places they shouldn`t be.

We have hedgehogs way down near Tom`s man shed, now they are cute and don`t do any damage.......long live the hedgehogs!!

Psycho is a wonderful movie! First saw it when I was around 12 or 13 and it was very scary then. As an adult I marvel at HItchcock`s talent when watching it.





Not as boiling hot as they claimed it would be this morning (it never is) but 66F at 8am is positively tropical for us!! And we`ll be happy to take it......we are being forecast 90F on Friday......hope so!!! That would be amazing and no walking that day, we`ll be in the garden all day if that`s the case........

But, out walking this morning for sure, sunglasses and sunscreen as there isn`t a cloud in the sky and sun is already warm.....yahooooooo!!

Grilling again today, will have a little selection to opt from for lunch and dinner, lots of salads again on offer too.

Need to do some housework too.......and ironing....yep, I am that person who does enjoy ironing, I get that from my mum.

Teapot is warming for first pot of the day........

Happy Wednesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, pot of tea and a nice warm day for lizard like Schumi.

Hehe, Pumpkin still shuffling along papers, with her Timmy tea. Hope all is well with all.

Yeah, with a too high thought price, I’d get at least one or two more to compare, Charade. Hehe, my sister gets bats in her closed pool umbrellas. She had to throw out a few, because they destroyed them. She now ties very tight with a cover that’s made for those kind of umbrellas, so they haven’t got inside since. Hope mom is feeling better, and had her lungs cleared.



Yay, the camel reminder is here. He’s so happy that high weather system has arrived, and no rain to start this Wednesday. Gloriously sunny start, with weather news saying a hot one today, all day sun and close to 90 degrees. Perfect day reminder, the Summer weather is becoming more daily, and so is a Friday. As nothing like a hump of a day, to know a week is half way gone. And thanks to last year, new federal holiday, so already decided to make it a four day one. Woot! Two shorter week day routine weeks? Yay!

What the heck? I am not close to our City airport, but sometimes I get a very noisy airplane, while high in the sky, still can hear it. That was a very noisy one. Makes me nervous sometimes, but have never seen one crash in my neighborhood. We have a military, well state owned now, airport about 20 or so driving minutes away. Told little one, when I was a kid, a whole neighborhood that was at the end of the runway, was condemned and destroyed. Now a huge, three long block big open field that you can still almost see where the streets were. Guess one to many airplanes missed the runway. I also remember as a kid, local news showing airplane crashed in that neighborhood, sometime even killing those on the ground. It’s not used as much now, and years ago, stopped the air shows, so haven’t heard any crashes for many years. Interestingly, Air Force One lands there to this day. And the kids and I got to go on one, when they were little, as the pilot invited us to tour it.

But as a week day, still have that teapot already ready, not that hot water spigot I only get at my office. Both are hot enough to make tea. So yay, tea no matter where. Well not as much when I’m in Florida. Crappy tasting water does not make a good cup of tea.

So a wonderful and sun filled Wednesday to you all. Get ready, when it’s hot, not only good to be thirsty tomorrow, good to stay hydrated whenever your sweating and hot.

And be like Mac, don’t get that kitchen hot by cooking it. So I’m thinking grilling chicken tonight, My kitchen is in the middle of the house, so when I light the oven or stove top, does warm up the kitchen enough it can make me sweat. Hence, that dash into the AC or heat, we use our grill year round. Like having grilled items, and easy meals. Yay for Charade to make a keeper meal. I have a crockpot. It sits in the high cabinet. I don’t use it very much. If any time, in the Winter. My family is not fond of meals from them.

Ooh more tea. Good morning. It certainly is. Hope all have or having that one too.

 

[schumigirl]

Another quiet day here......where is everyone!!

Beautiful day here.......we love being retired with nothing to do and all day to do it!!!

Walked again this morning, not as much as yesterday but enough.....until it got too hot, then we came home.

As I said in my post this morning, we got the grill out and had shrimp and monkfish skewers for lunch.....delish!! Tonight we`ll have a selection of steak and shrimp skewers, hoisin chicken thighs and some chinese pork belly.......loads of salads and made up some potato salad that we`ve nibbled on through the day, too much food for two of us so hoping someone drops in to help us with it. I have sent a friend who passes our house to get home a txt to say food on offer if required, her husband is away on business right now, so she might pop in.

Did some baking too as there is a church event tomorrow morning that has asked for donations. Although it is really hot today, our house doesn`t get too warm as we have huge bifold doors that open up the whole area to the garden......nice!!

Will drop the baking off early tomorrow morning before we drive to the beach for our walk. I may have held back a madeira cake that is similar to pound cake in America, just for us.....hard to resist.

Been listening to Carole King all day......feels very mellowing.

 

[Charade67]

Quiet day at work today. I just finished emailing a bunch of clients informing them that the text reminders for their appointments are read only, and if they need to cancel an appointment they need to call the office.

Got a text from B a few minutes ago. We had a visitor in our backyard. They usually don’t get this close to the house.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Happy hump day stop in

The sun is shining, and it is warmish - I'll take any warmth we get. But in all honesty, it hasn't been really really warm/hot here yet. I still haven't pulled the shorts out to wear yet. BUT there is green grass, leaves on the trees and flowers are blooming. So that makes my soul very happy.

I did get out for a quick walk last night. The chicken last night took longer to cook than usual. I did have to do a little breaking of the backbone to fit it into the airfryer, but it was delicious! There were not many left overs as my working boys were hungry last night But there is enough left over for a good chicken noodle soup for the weekend. Since the forecast seems to be for cold and rain Not great for Father's Day weekend when everyone just wants to go fishing I also had to give youngest ds a haircut. There is always so many little things to do each night.

Quick late night stop in. I talked to my mom today. She was complaining about everything, so I guess that means she is feeling better.

It's great your mom is on the mend. Complaining is always a good sign. I hope her lungs keep clearing up and the fracture heals properly and quickly so that she doesn't have so much pain.

So many look at squirrels as cute and cuddly, they`re vermin and considered vermin in this country and they can do some damage if they get into places they shouldn`t be.

They are cute...but yes...definitely vermin and can do so much damage. Dh keeps a pretty good watch on the vermin front. We had a marmot in our backyard one year. He/She was residing under our shed, and our dog at the time didn't like that. It didn't take long for it to find a new residence.

It's great your getting some warmth. As much as I enjoy sleeping with the windows open at night and the house stay relatively cool, I am ready for some warmth and hot weather!

I also remember as a kid, local news showing airplane crashed in that neighborhood, sometime even killing those on the ground. It’s not used as much now, and years ago, stopped the air shows, so haven’t heard any crashes for many years. Interestingly, Air Force One lands there to this day. And the kids and I got to go on one, when they were little, as the pilot invited us to tour it.

Wow...that would be very cool to tour that! I remember going to an airshow when we went to visit my uncle in Vancouver as a kid. We got to see the concord. We did a tour on it, then it did a low pass....I still remember the sound. It was pretty amazing. We tend to see and hear US military aircraft at our airport. They do tend to land here on their way through to Alaska or wherever else they go to. There is always a flurry of postings on FB and people head out to catch a glimpse of them. It is pretty cool to hear them while at work as work is close to the airport.

Well, I should get started shuffling some papers.

Have a great day everyone! I'll probably be stopping in again, not much to do today.

Lovely picture. Yes, they usually stay as hidden as they can, but it`s always nice when they do pop their noses close to us.

Hope your mum continues to improve Charade.

Glad your weather is improving, you`ll have those shorts out soon enough!!

Isn`t Concorde tiny!! First time we saw it we were amazed just how small it really was. Of course we were used to seeing much larger planes, but even so. There`s one on display up at Manchester Airport where we fly from and folks that work there say the same thing.....everybody seeing it for the first time can`t believe how small it is. Horrible ending for such a feat of Engineering.





Up early again as it is going to be hot hot hot for us next few days......yep, shorts are on and sunscreen will be worn as there is no shade whatsoever on our beachfront walks. Looking forward to this morning as I think some friends are joining us with the doggies again. Hope they make it.

Barbecuing again today......our friend did pop in her way home last night, so we could share that pile of food Tom had cooked and she took some stuff home with her too. We have more or less the same items today, so another no cooking day for me....except all the prep of course.......but I like that.

Got a produce delivery coming between midday and 1pm, so we`ll be well back for that delivery to arrive.

And need to organise our book group meet......seems no one else can do that......lol......my turn to choose next months book so it`ll be a light, fun and maybe a chick flick style book for summer.......only one person won`t like it as she likes all the heavy or meatier books.

Time for some tea.........

Happy Thirsty Thursday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, Thirsty Thursday is here. And our area weather knows we are thirsty, so overcast start, and warm, 78 degrees out already. And rain to be most of the day. Thus, not much higher in temp because of that rain and cloud covering. Okay with me, as a burst of warm weather arrives tomorrow. Perfect to see 91 degrees the high for our Friday.

Hope your walk this morning was nice, Schumi. And your tea perfect. Hope the bake sale at the church raises a good amount of money.

House feels a bit cool, so tea for me, and since little one went to the one grocery store when I was at the hair salon yesterday, have a cherry turnover to have for breakfast today. It was tasty.

Thus, a dad weekend. And we are not doing much, given DH has to be that good son, regardless of the day. Did pick him up two tools he could use, the one I thought he could really use, as that one he has of it, has never worked right. The other, thought he’d like using it. I think the kids got him candy he likes.

Ah, alarm turned off. So nice to have that just perfect four day weekend.

But today, routine week day, so up before the sun, still, even if still looks not very bright out.

A most terrific Thirsty Thursday all. Hope you enjoy a drink of choice, including a glass of water today, to celebrate the fact that tomorrow is a Friday. Woot! Be well and safe.

 

[Lynne G]

Wow, very loud thunder and a huge downpour. What a start to this rainy day.

 

[keishashadow]

We broke 100 degrees yesterday, real feel 112. felt higher to me, felt like breathing thru a sponge when running from early am to late afternoon. Was hippo in pool most of the rest of day

DH filled out little one’s first passport, and spelled her middle name wrong.

Yikes, lucky it’s worked out well for her

While there it was discovered that she also has pneumonia and a fracture in her spine. I guess that happened when she fell and broke her wrist

Oh no, sorry. People do tend to discount the aches & pains of the elderly

Sounds lovely but wonder why it got the Romanian name??

Anything i say will come off as racist, so i won’t lol

Well surprisingly we loved Top Gun

My Daves also loved it…lalalala when it hits streaming I’ll pretend to watch it. Pretty good at zoning out at this stage of game with eyes open lol

That man can drink his Diet Mountain Dew ….

i’m addicted to it, keep a 6 pack of bottles in house for myself. Only issue is that high caffeine content can keep me awake, for days Lol

Tom likes Mountain Dew..

every now & again when dining out, I’ll order one or grab from the dispenser to ‘treat myself’. Incomparably delicious

So there was lots of sitting with the remote in my hands lol.

Well, if you flip enough that’s exercise in my book…make sure to switch hands.

I have a great one now, who I know from my management days when I was a manager of a salon supply store.

That’s great, i seem to put the pox on all who do my hair…they all seem to disappear within a few years.

I really don't think it's going to get better in the coming months.

Would u believe spirit sent me an email yesterday re the same flight? They moved it back a few minutes. I’m going to closely watch the fares for SW, if they drop anywhere palatable, will book on points as insurance & cancel down the road.

The verdict is - we have birds. We are now contacting companies to get estimates on chimney cap replacement.

Lovely. Beats a pregnant raccoon lol

I talked to my mom today. She was complaining about everything, so I guess that means she is feeling better.

That is a very good sign )

Psycho is a wonderful movie!

Absolutelymundo

What the heck? I am not close to our City airport, but sometimes I get a very noisy airplane, while high in the sky, still can hear it. That was a very noisy one. Makes me nervous sometimes, but have never seen one crash in my neighborhood. We have a military, well state owned now,

at night, when it’s still, we can faintly hear a few of the last planes rumbling in over our house. Assume as we are up ‘high’ on the ridge.

i understand the need to take the closest flight path into town’s various trauma centers for life flights, it seems we are on the helicopter routE. Interesting, as we’ve watched them shortly after they pass over, then veer left, right or stay on course. all depending on which need for the patient.

used to have air wing also. jets would also train up & down the river in formation, pretty cool to watch. Can’t miss the sound of those monster military planes.

Still remember how scary it was on 9-11. the skies became so quiet, probably because we were so focused upon it due to the plane going down so close. When they started to run those big boys east, one after the other in early afternoon, wasn’t sure if it was comforting or not

Got a text from B a few minutes ago. We had a visitor in our backyard. They usually don’t get this close to the house.

Must be hungry to be out like that in broad daylight

But there is enough left over for a good chicken noodle soup for the weekend. Since the forecast seems to be for cold and rain Not great for Father's Day weekend when everyone just wants to go fishing I also had to give youngest ds a haircut. There is always so many little things to do each night.

Ooh now I’m hungry for soup. not going to happen, momma doesn’t cook in 90 degree weather.

Good luck for better weather for the weekend. Not sure what we are doing here, guess i better think on that…since ringo cancelled the concert boohoo, stupid covid.

We broke 100 degrees yesterday, real feel 112. felt higher to me, felt like breathing thru a sponge when running from early am to late afternoon. Was hippo in pool most of the rest of day


Yikes, lucky it’s worked out well for her

Oh no, sorry. People do tend to discount the aches & pains of the elderly

Anything i say will come off as racist, so i won’t lol

My Daves also loved it…lalalala when it hits streaming I’ll pretend to watch it. Pretty good at zoning out at this stage of game with eyes open lol

i’m addicted to it, keep a 6 pack of bottles in house for myself. Only issue is that high caffeine content can keep me awake, for days Lol

every now & again when dining out, I’ll order one or grab from the dispenser to ‘treat myself’. Incomparably delicious

Well, if you flip enough that’s exercise in my book…make sure to switch hands.

That’s great, i seem to put the pox on all who do my hair…they all seem to disappear within a few years.

Would u believe spirit sent me an email yesterday re the same flight? They moved it back a few minutes. I’m going to closely watch the fares for SW, if they drop anywhere palatable, will book on points as insurance & cancel down the road.

Lovely. Beats a pregnant raccoon lol

That is a very good sign )

Absolutelymundo

at night, when it’s still, we can faintly hear a few of the last planes rumbling in over our house. Assume as we are up ‘high’ on the ridge.

lol....I can imagine re the steak name now I think on it!

Glad your guys loved TG.....I was honestly surprised how much I liked it......and yes, watching something you`re not interested in....lol.....

You are being toasted up there!!! Wow.....enjoy it and absolutely no cooking for you in that heat! We`re warmer than usual, but nowhere near that hot!!!

Enjoy that pool.......



Well, we did walk this morning after dropping the baking, a huge lasagne, chicken casserole done in the slow cooker so it was perfect off to the church. They were hosting a lunch for a group of folks who are visiting this area from Poland, I think the churches have been in contact for a while, so there were 50 of them that have been waiting through the pandemic to come visit us.

We didn`t wait around to meet them, as we wanted to get our walk in before it got too hot......too late. I think we should have been out before 6am today!!! Wow......warm for us for sure. We were boiled and thankfully had plenty of water with us. It`s only a 5 minute drive home from the beach but we were glad to get back in the car with the aircon and cool seating!

But, heard the lunch went very well which is good to hear.

Been sitting in the garden with laptop plugged in all afternoon.......I knew getting power in this wooden gazebo was going to be worth it!

Tomorrow has to be even warmer....so will be getting my husband up earlier to get out walking if that`s still going to be the case. Tonight we`ll be grilling again, all the salad, cous cous and potato salad are all ready. Time for more water!!

It's thirsty Thursday

I'll probably need a beverage of some sort tonight lol. I was vvery rudely awaken (the best sleep I was having in weeks - thanks peri-menopause cr@p) by loud banging noises right under our bedroom. Upon grumbling, and wanting to tear ds a new one for being so flipping noisy...low and behold...I finally clued in half way down the hallway as to why. The hot water tank broke (probably after dh's morning shower) and found dh and ds already disconnecting the old tank...on the phone getting a new one from their plumbing division I am very blessed that dh and now ds are quite handy and can switch it out by themselves. Dh was receiving calls from some of the employees asking if he wanted or needed a hand getting things started. One sounded surprised that dh could actually handle the job I told him that it didn't sound like he had alot of confidence in your skill set as a plumber .

Everything is moved, water is mostly cleaned up, and the things that got wet are now drying up. We have fans set up to help circulate the air around. Ds went to get up to go to the bathroom at 5:30 ( Dh was already at work - he gets up WAY to early for me) and found some of the carpet in his room was wet . Good thing I had cleaned and organized the laundry/storage room a few weeks back or it would NOT have been as easy to clean up. Sigh. WE knew it was only going to be a matter of time.

Horrible ending for such a feat of Engineering.

It really was! And yes...it was incredibly small.

.yep, shorts are on and sunscreen will be worn as there is no shade whatsoever on our beachfront walks. Looking forward to this morning as I think some friends are joining us with the doggies again. Hope they make it.

I hope you enjoyed your walk. I know your already home. What a great way to get to walk - along the beach I love walking along the beach!

have a cherry turnover to have for breakfast today. It was tasty.

YUM...that is my favorite flavour.

Would u believe spirit sent me an email yesterday re the same flight? They moved it back a few minutes. I’m going to closely watch the fares for SW, if they drop anywhere palatable, will book on points as insurance & cancel down the road.

I did a little happy dance for you when I read that!!!! I would be doing the same - watching and checking prices for drops in prices.

Well, I should shuffle some papers around. The stack is not very big today - so I will stretch it out - even though it is time sensitive. As long as they receive it before "X" hour I"m golden!

Have a great day everyone!
