What are you doing today?

[hollydolly]

It's a beautiful sunny morning.... I'm going out later to collect some things I ordered online and had delivered to the stores because the P&P was ridiculously high, and it was free to deliver to the stores which are only a few minutes drive away ... my husband laughs at me and my Scottish thrift sometimes , but as we say in my homeland ''mony a mickle maks a muckle''

Going fishin'

 

[Glowworm]

Well, I hope you have a wonderful Engagement party over the weekend, and the weather is nice for you...

Thank you. It's grey and overcast today but th forecast for the weekend is brighter and a little warmer - about 12 Celsius

We have a saying in Sweden that I guess means much the same. Freely translated it says

Many small streams make a great river

 

[Pappy]

My walk first…..done. Need to go to post office for stamps as we finally ran out. We hardly ever use stamps anymore. Maybe go out for lunch.

I am going clothes shopping with my bf in Binghamton today. To Boscov's. He is picking me up around 11 so need to get some things done now.

 

[Sliverfox]

katlupe,, hope you have a good shopping trip.

There is a Boscov's in Erie PA,, bought a few nice things there.

Would like to go back,,but that city was reporting cases of the variant of Covid-19.
Hubby hasn't had his second shot of vaccine,, yet.

We have a saying on the USA, squeeze that nickel until the Buffalo shits

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Celebrating ! Don’t have to have a weekly COVID swab test anymore. Yay!

 

[debodun]

I brought this table up from the cellar with a lot of heavy breathing, splinters and a few expletives. Took almost an hour considering I had to move a lot of things out of the way first.

 

[Glowworm]

Caterers are finished for today. Coming back tomorrow to get the last things ready. Time to test the bubbly

Here in Canada, our saying is similar... "squeeze a nickel until the beaver poops".

My children and grandchildren are coming at twelve for our first family gathering for over a year and to celebrate our engagement. Caterers are here putting the finishing touches on everything. We can cook, but decided to pamper ourselves this weekend.

It sounds wonderful, but you forgot my invitation. Despite that, and the fact that medically I am not supposed to fly, I booked a flight and tried to be there in time. I managed to get a ticket, but they didn’t believe me when I said my fever was from the second shingles vaccine and not Covid-19.

I know your disappointment will be great @Glowworm nevertheless you, your fiancé, and extended family should try and rise above your disappointment at my non appearance; and have a GREAT time at your engagement party.

I wish you both all happiness and joy.

PS: The gift I was bringing you was forced back on me, minus the air gun. I should be out of jail by your first anniversary. Seems no one wants a half breed Corgi that bites. BAD BELLA BAD.

When I went on my early morning walk around 6:40,it was a tad chilly outside,temp was 43,the sun was out which made it feel a bit warmer
On my mid morning stroll,I walked 3 blocks,went past my childhood house which basically looked the same.I knew the new owners had bought the house 3 yrs ago,this was the 1st time I had seen anybody outside.I introduced myself to husband, he told me to come into the house,meet his wife Liz she was happy to meet me,as was Rob The last time I was in the house was when it was for sale,had no furniture in it. I told then they were only the 4th owners
I stayed about 15 min,saw the kitchen/dining room/living room,some things they changed others not so much.My childhood memories came flashing by.I profusely thanked them for inviting me in,was the highlight of my day.I can't wait to tell my siblings tomorrow during our'zoom meeting'

 

[SetWave]

Still going through stuff and getting ready for the big unloading on Monday and Wednesday when the guys with the equipment to haul things away arrive on the job.
Of course, right now I'm taking another of my undeserved breaks . . .

 

[MarciKS]

Got a good portion of my to do list crossed off. I'm thinking about going and doing some of my work tests now. Will be back if the weather holds out.

 

[JonDouglas]

Battled baffling battery bugs. After having a battery drain, swapping batteries, testing different leads and trying different chargers, I managed to trace the problem to a Battery Tender charging cable with a bad fuse. The fuse didn't look bad (i.e., link looked intact) but it was.

We are going to meet up with friends at the pub, for lunch today. Until the 17th of May we still are only permitted to be served outside in the gardens, but that's fine because it's a perfectly lovely spring day...

 

[Glowworm]

Waiting for my girlfriend’s family to arrive for our get together which will be in the conservatory as it’s raining

 

[hollydolly]

Well we're not long back from our day with our friends at the pub.. it was a lovely warm spring day and the pub garden was packed, although tables were all set out at proper distancing...

I had a Sunday roast Sirloin of beef.. and all the trimmings...

We left our friends there after a couple of hours, and went to the garden centre across the road, and bought some new Lupins for planting .. before popping over to the Marina to check up on our boat , next week we're going to take all her winter gear off...

ETA...it's not Mothers' day here..in case anyone thinks my daughter is ignoring me

 

[MarciKS]

I ordered groceries and I gotta take the trash out...feed the squirrels and check the oil in my car.

 

[IrisSenior]

My daughter came by for Mother's Day and we had a social distance driveway visit (I will take what I can get). This evening I will take both my son's (ages 35 and 25) to get their covid shot at the recreation centre here. Both are grocery store employees and can get their shot now. It's nice but cool out tonight and I enjoyed my daily hour walk. Now I am off to read my library book by Rosamunde Pilcher (The Carousel).
