What's on your agenda for today?

Good Morning lovely peeps...

I'm Home, got back last night, and by the time I'd unpacked and put everything away and got the washing done, I was shattered after all the travelling so no internet for me.. and early bed.

I had a fab time, the weather was a bit hit and miss, verry hot on some days and very windy and overcast on others, but I managed to swim almost every day in the pool which did wonders for my back. We did a tremendous amount of walking, only used the car 3 or 4 times the whole 10 days..and of course the highlight of the trip was not only visiting with the family but seeing my adored grandfurbabies whom I haven't seen ( apart from in videos) for 3 years. I was a big part of their lives before they moved to Spain 5 years ago and I was afraid they would have forgotten who I was, but not a bit of it, they were absolutey ecstatic to see me, they could barely control their excitement, in fact they couldn't control it, they were jumping and leaping all over me, each trying to push the other one out of the way to get to me...awwww...bless them , I was so sad to leave them again.

Fortunately when we got back yesterday evening it was glorious sunshine here today..it's always awful coming back from a hot sunny country to rain...but it was beautiful and hot..and set to stay comfortably warm about high 70's degrees for the rest of the week.:cool:..and I don't return to work until next week so I'm hap, hap, happy about that.. :D

I've uploaded all the photos to my Mac...I've just gotta sort them into folders and then I'll upload some today or tomorrow..It's funny I did upload them to my laptop when we were away but they all looked so dark and I nearly deleted a lot of them, fortunately I didn't because now on the big screen monitor they look much clearer.

I've not had a chance to read any threads yet so it'll take me a while to catch up to what's been going on..but it's nice to be back. :D
 
Morning all,

After a dull start the sun is coming out and it's getting hot again..(10am)...still trying to get my photos sorted out from the holiday and resize the for the forum, so many with family members in who don't want to have their faces posted on the forum so it's taking a while to sort them into anything remotely interesting. yesterday i should have rested up, but I couldn't ignore the lawns which were covered in a thick layer of leaves and tree blossom, so I spent half the day mowing, raking leaves and hedge trimming, and now by back aches this morning..surprise, surprise.:eek:

In a couple of hours I have an appointment at the hospital to see the surgeon who carried out my back surgery in March to see how things are progressing..better than it was ..but still far from fixed.

Still, it's set to be a Beautiful sunny day so I may take a trip to the lakes after my hospital appointment and just sit at the outdoor cafe and watch the folks have a good time sailing :cool:
 
Today was gym and upper body muscle work at home. Husband has said that if we wait for nice sunny days to go for long bike rides we might not get a lot of rides in. We do have rainsuits, but I don't relish the idea of riding in showers or drizzle.
 
Thanks Shali and Annie.:love_heart:..nice to be back with you all, but I'd rather still be on holiday in 30 degrees heat and swimming in the pool every day.. :sunglass:

Shooor Annie, I'll fedex this lovely weather up to you asap...LOL... I'm with you, I wouldn't fancy riding a bike in the rain, no fun at all..I'd love to move back home to the west of Scotland when we retire but my o/h flatly refuses, he says he couldn't live with the rain and the cold.. Funny thing is that when I was growing up I never remember the rain or the cold, just sunny days, (ok, never hot but sunny anyway) weird isn't it?

Aye, kids have a different view of everything. DH says when he was a kid in Glasgow they got a lot of snow.

We had 4 days last week of sunshine and temps between 15 and 18 and it was lovely. Very long bike rides every single day.

We escape to better climates often so it makes it easier to deal with the not so great climate of west Scotland. I could never live anywhere else permanently though. There is just too much I love about living in Scotland.
 
Hi all

You may recall that after some recent issues concerning the scattering of silly remarks over many serious threads, someone suggested a separate thread to which these silly, teasing, flirty remarks could be confined to.
I said at the time I was working on it, and after consulting several members have come up with a humorous thread, at least I think it is.

It is purely for fun and will not hopefully become inundated with salacious or overtly sexual remarks, if it is so be it, I am sure it will be taken down.

It is solely for some of us immature seniors to indulge our weird brand of fruitcake humour in.
I will post it later in the Humour section.

Namaste

I'm with you on that. Don't like riding on wet roads....I took a bad spill once when I turned a corner and my back tire skidded on wet pavement.
 
Merlin - What is the name of your new thread? Is it Fruitcake? Well, having more humour is way better than less!

I sure envy all of you who are adept at riding motorcycles and similar. I rode on a motor cycle once on the back with my best friend's hubby driving - he took a corner too fast and I got thrown off. I landed on somebody's lawn so I didn't get nasty road burn or anything but I've never been on one again! I'm too chicken!

So good to have you back, Holly. Hope you enjoyed your holiday and your MD gives you a good report.
Love your pictures Merlin. The food looks delicious and the restaurant is impressive.

You'd never get me on a motorbike (although I will be a passenger on next Thailand trip). I ride an electric bike which is pedal assisted.
 
Merlin, hope your wait isn't too long.

Doing all my muscle routines at home today as yesterday I got busy and didn't do the upper body ones. I was researching a self-catering house or flat and finally found one. We'll be staying in a small house in Oban - which those in the UK would likely be familiar with. Great location for doing long bike rides from. It's on the coast and has the main ferry terminal to islands. We can go in several different directions and also catch some ferries and go to a few islands. We'll just bring our rainsuits and hope we don't need them!
