What's on your agenda for today?

About half cloud half sun here. Supposed to have a BBQ at our friends' house tonight. Doing housework while husband is in Glasgow visiting his uncle who has dementia.
 

Thanks Annie...the dog wasn't in 47 degrees of course, they have sheltered kennels which are cool for them but the ambient temps outside meant that it was waaay too hot for a dog who has breathing problems, and she collapsed struggling to breathe. My s-i-l and daughter are very aware of any dogs that come into the kennels who have ill health and they check on them every hour through the night, taking turns..it's an exhausting job for them but they do it for the love of the animal they are caring for other people and also for their own.....and after a late night check they found the little pooch collapsed, gave her resuscitation, and drove like crazy things through the night to their emergency vet, but she regardless of how their excellent vet worked on her, poor little pooch didn't make it...it's so sad!! :(

I figured it was much cooler in the kennel, but it would so hard to keep cool with a daytime temp of 47. Poor dog. Your daughter must have been totally stressed! How awful for everyone.
 

I know Annie, sadly if people continue to breed these designer dogs this will continue to happen... :(


Sun is glorious today, just got back home nice and early after my meeting..it's very hot out there in the garden, so I may change into my shorts in a little while and sit out with my book.

Hospital didn't go as well as I'd hoped, still further tests needed more consultants to see..*sigh*...I really thought I was going to get some definitive answers...

Anyway on the way back from my meeting..I popped into Monsoon..they have a great sale on at the moment, and got 2 tops..one reduced from £49.50 to £22...and the other from £59 to to £29...and they look fabulous, I'm very pleased with them. :D Of course M&S are almost next door to Monsoon and I had to walk through there to get to where my car was parked...and against all my resolutions not to buy more clothing I couldn't resist a new season long sleeved lined linen blouse...so I got that as well..no sale sadly...had to pay full price for that, but they all do look very pretty :D

Here's the M&S one it's a little bit more pink than in the video..

Nice top! I can't resist a sale on clothes either! We really only have one clothing shop here that I will go in and I have bought quite a few things there. So I save my clothing shopping for Glasgow or for the US.

BBC website says we are to be cloudy all day and to rain around 9pm. But it's been mostly sunny all day. Hope they are also wrong about the rain. We're riding our bikes to our friends' house for a BBQ. They are less than a mile away but up a steep hill. We get little traffic here but still don't want to drink and drive.
 
Well I'm glad you got the sun...I find the BBC are almost always wrong with the forecast i go with the local forecast instead, and sure enough it said it would be 77 today and it is...enjoy your BBQ tonight, have fun.. :D
 
Thanks! BBC forecast online is often completely different from the one on tv news! If we watch BBC Scotland news it's usually a more accurate forecast.
 
Had computer issues the last four days. Virus would not let me out of safe mode. Finally resolved it....now trying to get everything back. Lost all my hundreds of speed dials. Tomorrow to central Florida, for grand daughter's wedding. A wedding at the ungodly hour of 6 AM... A sunrise wedding may be beautiful....still ! ! ! :why:LOL Lots of great grand babies and grand children for the next few days. May everyone have a great weekend. Will try to catch up next week.
 
Morning all,

beautiful sunny start to the day. I've been up since 6am already got 2 hours work under my belt..wooohoo I love this working from home online..all these spreadsheets done and I don't have to dress up or drive anywhere.. :D

Nona I've never heard of a 6am wedding..but a sunrise wedding does sound beautiful..hope you have a wonderful time. :D
 
Nona, sorry about your computer! 6am wedding!? Well, enjoy it. :)

Holly, can you send some sun? We've got mist and fog. :p

Had a great time at the BBQ last night. Although it started to drizzle as soon as we got on our bikes to go to our friends.

Had an awful leg cramp early this morning that made me yell!! Ouch. Americans call them Charleyhorses. Anyway, my leg was so sore I decided going to the gym to do the spin bike was not a good idea. I get these very occasionally and one of the causes can be dehydration or lack of potassium - I don't eat enough bananas or potatoes. I'm wondering if I got dehydrated by having alcohol at the BBQ and no water all evening or before bed?
 
I would imagine it was the dehydration that caused it Annie...oowwwwch.:eek1: it really does make you scream holy murder doesn't it..?. Often it helps if you can stand on a cold tiled floor..I'm .interested as to why you don't eat bananas, I eat a ripe banana every day for the potassium

Yep I'll send you some sun.:sunglass:..we have 82 degrees forecast for today..I'm thinking I might go out and take some photos of some local scenic spots this afternoon
 
Can you send some heat along with the sun? :cool: Aye, take some nice pics today to share.

I love bananas but when I make me meal plan every day I always include two fruits. Often it's 100g of strawberries at 27 cals, or 100g of grapes at 61 cals, clementines at 35 cals each, then there are bananas at about 100 cals, so bananas often are ruled out except for once or twice a week. I will have one today though.
 
I'm going to see my granddaughters in their school sports day in about half an hour. We've got a beautiful, sunny day so ideal conditions. Am looking forward to it. Think they're coming back to my house afterwards so all in all a good day for me. :)
 
Quick trip flying today. We are going to Columbus, Ohio at 11:00 a.m. for a 2:00 p.m. meeting and then come home after dinner. I should be back in the nest between 8:00-9:00 this evening. Got to run. Have a good day, everyone!
 
Have fun with your granddaughters, Pam......

I've been busy helping a friend that has had surgery and mowing and more mowing, this is about the time of year that the mowing is not fun anymore....95 here yesterday and the same expected today.
 
More glorious hot sun today ( sorry Annie)... and as soon as hubs is finished installing the water softener in the shower...we're off to have lunch in the sun with a TV celebrity friends' parents...I'll tell you who later ... :D

Nope that's why I didn't say who it was in the first place, so no-one could call me that..LOL...so now I have been called it I'm not going to reveal who it was.. :playful: but just to say we had a gorgeous lunch, the best I've had in a very long time at a lovely pub restaurant... on a beautiful hot sunny afternoon..how good does simple things get.? :D

Hope your trip and meeting went well Oldman..
 
Holly, I am so unimpressed by celebrity it is probably unnatural but honestly I would walk across the street to meet a single one, YOU on the other hand...............
 
LOL Jim...I know what you mean about being unimpressed..it's just a job like any other, but paid a lot more than most....but I would cross the street to meet you too...no..wrong..I would run.. ;)
