So I had a great big bowl of ice cream. Two kinds of ice cream. And it (they) was (were) delicious. I'd no sooner finished than DD came over with Dairy Queen. Well then, I had to eat it before it melted, right? So I did. ate the whole thing. And that was delicious, too.

@hollydolly Ack! The people at the beach look positively squished together. How could that be any fun at all? Glad you got some time in on Friday!

@horseless carriage More ack! Bournemouth sure didn't look like that when I was there. All the people put together for the entire week wouldn't have made up a crowd like that.

No, and shall I tell you the reason why ?.. well 2 reasons... huge immigrant population in just a few short years... AND...the hell that the airlines are causing currently means more people than ever are just staying at home this year who would otherwise be abroad during these school holidays are waiting until all the strikes et al are over... and leaving it for another year

In addition to the above, the heat there has been so much more than in past years and the fact that most do not have AC in their homes. It is always cooler near the sea. I would say, only for me, I could not go to the beach there or anywhere in those type of crowds. I just don't like crowds of any sort. I don't like concerts, movies or even shopping at the holidays. It just gives me anxiety.

Nothing yet, just drinking coffee... However there is a lawn out there that needs mowing and weeds that need pulling, too many.

Got one of those that needs doing too. Unfortunately I already have all the necessary parts, just lacking the motivation... More coffee will help.

Don't know who posted a picture of a round tuit but it looks like the kind of thing you need. Yep you do need to get a round tuit

@Aprilbday12,,,,Ham loaf is ground fully baked ham,,,mixed with ground pork.
We can buy it already mixed,,just remove from wrapper place in baking dish & bake.
Or you can use left over baked ham,, grinding it up .
Then adding the ground pork, with eggs, milk , crushed crackers or bread crumbs.
The Taste of Home website has a very good recipe for it.

Okay, I get it like a meat loaf but with only pork products, do I have it? Sounds interesting, have not heard of it before. I will check it out!
 
There are times when I think about moving. I know, it's crazy because I've invested so much of myself and my income into rebuilding this 60 year old house. I live in a lovely rural community - good neighbors, safe, clean air, quiet, reasonable taxes (not low but not too high), excellent schools. But then when the pandemic hit, I realized that I was in a good place and will probably stay here for a long while (God willing).

I didn't feel well today. I think thoughts of all of the tests I'll be having this week are getting to me. It's not the tests I'm concerned about, it's the results. But I'm hopeful all will be well.

I have most likely missed this, it is always scary when you have to go thru any medical test. Please keep us updated, we are here for support. Prayers for a positive outcome.

Poor Aidan, he knows things are happening that are not his usual life. I have 3 pups, if I just go out the front door to check the mail, get something out of the car, say hi to the neighbors. I come back in and they act like I have been gone for days.

He is going to have more of a problem settling in at the new home if you leave the house. I would have your cousin build a close relationship with him when you move in. This will be a new person in a new place, he needs to bond with both at that the same time. Have your cousin be the one that gives him most of his treats to help him understand he is safe in his new home.

Yes, I agree. My cousin said we'd go out to eat the first night. I told him we couldn't leave Aidan because he has to adjust to my cousin and his two dogs. I am armed with beef jerky for his dogs (and mine).

That's a great idea about my cousin giving Aidan treats. I'll be sure to bring some pupperoni, because Aidan will do anything for that!

I think he will adjust pretty quickly because he'll have other dogs to play with and a big fenced yard. Aidan loves other dogs. He's fine with them as long as I remember who his "Mom" is. (No worries there.) Aidan learned from the kids that I am "Mom" and he responds instantly when someone says I'm going to get mom. Usually that meant he was doing something wrong, like unloading a backpack, and wouldn't stop.

Aidan knows the meanings of so many words that it is usually simple to communicate with him. But not this time, unfortunately. We have to spell a lot of words, and sometimes he catches onto that, too.

yes true ..but only in Parts of the UK not all have had these high temps this summer.. In a way it's great that we've had them because of the fact that much fewer people have been able to get away this year..and it means families have been able to have a break after all.. and cheaply too
 
Yaba daba doo...... 'it's raining'!!
That's it folks, I'm off outside to luxureate in that wonderful downpour of liquid droplets.
And yes, I know that some of the neighbours will be muttering, "Look, that daft old clown is getting soaked sitting in the garden, he must have a screw loose."
I don't give a hoot, the relief from being in a furnace will be sublime, I've made a few sandwiches to take with me. 😊

Where in the country are you Tim... ?... we're forecast to have thunderstorms at 4pm this afternoon.. I sincerely hope so.. but unfortunately the temps are not going to drop.. Currently it;s 85 deg, and sunny but Humid...
 
Not sure what I will be doing today. I want to mop my floors so will try to get that done early. And dust. After that I want to work on editing pictures. I have been making memes out of my own pictures. It seems a waste to take pictures show them once or twice somewhere and then never again. I use them on my blog but have not been posting as much as I used to on there. Not sure why except my audience has changed from homesteaders and preppers to I don't know what.

I did a short walk yesterday after I went out to the dumpster. It would be nice to walk across to the park but not sure if I will do that or not. Depends on how hot it is. Right now it is 55 degrees but by the time I get around to that..........who knows.
 
Well it's horribly hot in the house today again. We're supposed to get thunderstorms by 4pm.. I'll believe it when I see it.. but as long as there's rain I'll be happier.. however they say the temps won't drop so that's not so good.....a little bit of breeze would help, but despite having the windows open back and front of the house, there's not a whisper of a breeze going through the house at all

I've just been doing some gentle things around the house today because of the Ribs .. as long as I don't try and rush things, I can cope with the discomfort and pain..

I got the few things that needed done outside.. done before the rains come.. I'm so excited about the rain, I feel as tho' I'm going on holiday.. :LOL:☔⛈️

Don't dwell on it my friend....stress is bad for you and won't help at all! Think of it this way: soon you will have answers and will know what actions are needed to get yourself on the right track!

I'm sending positive energy your way to help you keep calm and get all of the tests over with. Good luck! 💗

You are my kind of crazy!!!! 💗. I'm right there with you!
 
Well, not going to the dentist; I'm struggling with anxiety and just couldn't bring myself to it (actually the time is over as I had it scheduled for 0700). Last night I told husband about it, that I just didn't think I could make myself go and he, being the guy he is, told me not to worry about it, or any late cancel fees (which I was really concerned about) and called the dentist himself, explained and cancelled the appointment for me.

It was just a cleaning and I am fastidious about my teeth so it's not really going to affect me. And I can always go a bit later when I'm feeling more up to it.

As soon as my husband told me the appointment was cancelled I felt such a rush of relief, relaxed, took a hot shower and went to bed.

This morning I woke at 0415 and started having trouble around eh, 0630 or so. So, I took Lucius (our Boxer) out for an early walk and now he is hanging out with me until husband takes him at around 1030, which is when they would normally go for their morning walk and breakfast. -They stay up late together, my husband and the dog. lol They're buds. :)
