What's on your agenda for today?

QS, are your facial muscles tired from smiling yet? I'm so glad they're adjusted and you're happy with them! Post a picture of yourself with your new smile!
 
AS, the cloakroom( cookie that's what we call the bathroom if it has no bath in it) looks pretty..although I agree the window need 'something''... I too loved the blue, never seen a sink and toilet blue before.. did you put the same pattern wallpaper on the walls again..it looks very similar in the pictures

Clicked on your link for the bedroom photos one or 2 we've seen before of course, but I loved the picture of the blue ciling rose.. I have white roses in my living room, I'd love to have them same colour as yours, but sadly they wouldn't match my decor..


April I agree with cookie your old bedroom look quite plush..I'll look forward to seeing clearer pictures..


VJ...I don't need to get a plane to come and get coffee at yours...but I'm going to wait until your all finished until I interrupt you for that coffee, I do hate to disturb someone while they're working so hard.. :coffeelaugh:

The blue bathroom was done by the previous owners 20+ years ago. The wallpaper had small blue flowers which I liked but it was too old and worn. The new one is similar with small flowers but the colours are different.

My husband painted the ceiling fixture.
 

Picked up my new dentures Thursday night.... Horrible... I tried to eat... Sores in the back on my lower gum.. I was so depressed.

Just got back from the Prosthodontist... A few minor changes... some grinding and fitting... O M G What a difference!!!! They feel wonderful.. and look even better than wonderful!!! I am so happy!! I finally have the teeth I have always dreamed of!!

Good news on the teeth!!
 
AS - Your hubby did a great job painting around the light! The mix of colors is so beautiful!

QS - I'm glad your new teeth are finally fitting you the way you hoped for - I know it was probably a tough journey getting to where you are!

Today this area is getting big winds and off-and-on rain. I have to finish reading the book that is up for discussion in my book club - it's called "Reading Lolita in Tehran." It sounds like a weird title but I'm learning a lot about abuse of women in revolutionary Iran.

He did do a great job on that! Took him a long time and lot of patience.

Have you read a Thousand Splendid Suns which takes place in Afghanistan and centres around 2 women?
 
I am going to play Pentanque at 11 AM and will probably play for three hours then have a late lunch with my step daughter at a Thai eatery, then perhaps a movie in late afternoon. Weather has been weird. It will get to 90 F today (but dry).

That's unusual for central Cali isn't it?
 
Don't pay the ransom, I'm right here! I spent the entire day up until now out in the back yard digging and raking and sprucing up and even planted some early spring flowers. Whoa...this old lady worked hard. The things I planted are Dusty Miller and dianthus because both of them will tolerate a little frost if we get any, and we probably will. After all, it's only the middle of March.

Warm and sunny and such a pretty day! It's going to be even warmer tomorrow, maybe reaching 80F. Ahhhh. Spring!
 
LOL ''don't pay the ransom, I'm right here''...that made me laugh out loud, so funny:lol:...and we would have too Georgia if you hadn't have shown up.. we really would.. :D

Why do you have an old lady doing all yer back breaking gardening work? :chores:

another one with 80 degree temps..that's you and AZ Jim...and my daughter in Spain today all with glorious weather ....I waaaaant some sun
 
Um...what's the limit on the amount of ransom you'd have paid? LOL

There's a good reason for the old lady* (and I use the term "lady" loosely) doing the back-breaking gardening is that no matter how hard the work or how hot the temps, she really likes getting down and dirty...in the garden, of course:)

Hey, don't begrudge us our 80 today (and tomorrow); it rained all week long last week, and we earned every single ray of sunshine and degree of warmth.

*lady: a person of the female persuasion with blue hair who wears lace-up shoes with fat heels and arranges flowers in church; she may or may not play bridge on Wednesday afternoons with friends of long-standing (at least 50 years) and would never consider wearing trousers/pants/jeans--only dresses or skirts

It's morning again, and what's more, it's Monday morning.

Off to work with me, then home again, home again, jiggety jig to play in the flowers.

Y'all have a perfectly splendid day!
 
Having a new gas and electricity meter installed. It is supposed to save you money by telling you how much you are using.
Neighbourghs say it as already saved them cash.
 
I have to go to the surgery today at some point to collect some meds, and if my back will allow do some grocery shopping while I'm out..got an eclectic week this week,...work tomorrow, MRI scan at the hospital on Wednesday..work Thursday, then off work until after the back surgery and recovery..
 
Wrong? You mean to tell us that you're going to spend your savings all on yourself? Drat.

Hollydolly, How many days until your surgery? Hope your back behaves enough to work tomorrow and Thursday.
 
One week today Georgia.., I'm looking forward to it but dreading it at the same time.. I had it some years ago and initially after surgery the pain can be much worse but eventually it gets better...fingers crossed .. :D
 
My fingers are crossed, too. I have them crossed for good outcomes for so many people that they're going to grow together! I'll just add you to my crossed-fingers list:)
 
Got my fingers crossed for you as well Holly!

Been to the gym, came home and did my upper body dumbbells, etc routine. Now having lunch. Might do lower body workout later this afternoon so tomorrow will be a non-workout day.

Husband has gone into Glasgow and will be back at dinner time, so quiet afternoon. Might try to finish a book I've been reading that is taking ages to finish.

We've been binge watching a series on Netflix in the evenings called 'Inspector George Gently'. Anybody seen it? I love the accents on it - takes place in NE England.
 
I have a large window in my dining room which faces east affording me a beautiful view of the canyon behind my house, distant mountains and a gorgeous sunrise this morning - beautiful streaks of pink, white and blue in the sky. I expect today will be sunny and warm again. When I go to the gym for my yoga class, maybe I'll take a dip in the outdoor pool too. I wish you all a wonderful day!!! :)

Holly, good, luck with your procedure, I do understand your dread. And you are correct about how the pain after. There's more I have to say about after effects, but, I'll save it for another time.
