What's on your agenda for today?

Ohhh Georgia, with the Kahlua in a cheesecake all I can think of is Tiramisu. Sounds heavenly. Cheesecake for breakfast...have you ever had Italian ricotta pie? It is like cheesecake and we eat it for breakfast. After all it is just eggs and cheese. ;)

The kayaks sound fun, Annie. Do they fold down small enough to take in your luggage? So soon you shall be in Thailand. I am so envious. Malaysia and Thailand were on my bucket list. LOL About miniatures....it is amazing what people will pay for them. The ones I have I used to make and sell. Furniture, quilts, rugs and afghans. The crocheted stuff is done with one strand of embroidery cotton and a tiny, tiny needle. My eyes and hands would not let me do them again. My oldest grand daughter has acquired a beautiful, huge doll house...and is excited about furnishing it. Sending her all my books, patterns, materials and miniatures.

Sounds like you and your o/h are past ready for some r&r.

My coffee break is over...back to my creating. May everyone have a great day...
 

Nona, it's a tandem kayak with paddles which come apart. The whole thing will roll up and fit in a suitcase and hubby will have to squeeze his clothes in with it and my bag will have the rest.

My very favourite toy as a child was my doll house.

Holly, your o/h is seriously in need of r and r with his long hours. Have a great time.

Less than 6 weeks to Thailand. We are looking at inflatable tandem kayaks to take with us and saw one today I think we'll buy before we go home tomorrow.

My sons bought an inflatable tandem kayak between them a couple of years back and have had a lot of fun with it. Very handy living near to the Lake District too.
 

Good morning folks..



Almost 6.30am...Pitch dark, cold and damp outside..and I'll be heading to the Pitface shortly.. I'm really, really, not in the mood for it today to be perfectly honest with you ..but needs must and all that and once I'm actually in the car and it gets light I'll probably feel better...and yes you're all so correct, a definite bit of R&R is needed for us, particularly for my o/h given the horrendously long hours he works

Georgia owwwch!!!..dentist chair?..hope you're ok and they didn't butcher you.. :eek:

Annie are you making the trip back home today? about the inflatable kayak..can't you get them in Thailand?..I was just thinking about the extra cost in baggage..

Nona what are you creating at the moment?..sounds intriguing.. :)

Couldn't find any shop in Koi Samui that would sell a sturdy one. Extra luggage would cost a fortune. But the one we want is sturdy and weighs 11 kg so it can go in a suitcase and dh can put his clothes in with it.

Yes going home today. Hope it isn't this windy at home or ferry could be off!
 
Both hubby and myself been sorting out files that I have kept on my laptop for my daughter untill she had a computer , they related to study she completed, over a year ago however if you have a career which involves working with young people/ Children/ people with disabilities you have to have a goverment clearance which she has just received after applying for it over 12 months ago because they have such a backlog of checking work to do ( she lives in Adelaide ) we bought her a Samsung second hand lap top for a combined Christmas/ birthday present, it is actually faster than mine and has a 17.5" nice clear screen. We are going down tomorrow to deliver it to her.
 
I flew down here to Tampa yesterday. It sure was beautiful at the beach where I spent my time while the President and his two cronies are in meetings. Today's high is to be 85 degrees with plenty of sunshine. The water in the Gulf is still warm enough to swim in it. Today, I am having breakfast with a few old pilot friends from United that retired down near here. I am looking forward to another nice day and maybe play a round or two of golf. I didn't bring my clubs, so I will have to use rentals. It's just nice to be able to be outside.
 
I'm finally awake! After about two hours in the dentist's chair yesterday with the gas going, all I could do once I got home was snooze off and on. I knew I'd sleep like a baby last night and did! My mouth is still a bit sore. Back in two weeks for the permanent crown. Ugh. At least it's already paid for.

Another beautiful fall day in store for us today. Yippee.

Hollydolly, sorry about your rain. Take heart, soon you'll be basking in the sun.

OHMYGOSH>>kadee..... what on earth happened I wonder?..sorry this has happened to you it must have scared you, but you're in the best place to discover what went wrong, and hopefully they will.


(((have some hugs)))) and know you're being willed to get well from the other side of the world.. Get_well_soon.gif
 
georgia...ooooh I feel for you with the tooth, hope you're feeling a bit better this morning.

Annie I'm presuming you got home safely..I did hear yesterday morning on the way to work they'd closed the forth bridge because of high winds.. so I wondered.

Oldman...you poor soul...you really have a terribly depressing life dontcha? :grin: lol...hope you had a great trip.

My daughter is aboard her first flight of 3 on her way to Brisbane Australia this morning...up until 11pm last night they were nursing an injured pooch at the vet's surgery ..and they had to be at the airport at 5.30 am this morning. It's gonna take the best part of a day and a Half travel for them to reach their destination.. I really hope they can just sit down and relax on the plane ..they've had a hugely busy schedule for months..and when they get to Australia they have to hit the ground running and go straight to work for a week before they can have some much needed rest .. and enjoy what the Gold coast has to offer.
 
OMG, Kadee! Hope they find out the cause and that you are well and on your way home. How scary.

Holly, it was very windy in Inverness and here at home yesterday but by the time we got into Glasgow for the train home the winds had died down. That trip to Oz is a tough one! We won't do those long ones any more without an overnight break somewhere along the way - Dubai for us.

Georgia, hope your feeling better now.

I should be at the gym but I am knackered! Cupboards are bare so I'll need to go into town for groceries. I'll do my full body muscle workout this afternoon, and laundry.
 
Yes they're stopping in Dubai but just for transfer ...it's Malaga - Madrid..Madrid, Madrid - Dubai...Dubai - Brisbane, and of course when they get to Brisbane they have quite a long travel by car to get to their ultimate destination ..so a jounrey I wouldn't be able to do without doing as you would Annie and stopping overnight even a couple of nights mid- journey..but aside from that my back just wouldn't stand up to the cattle class seating all that way. Maybe if I ever win the lottery I'll fly first class...and have a lie down all the way.. :D

Day off for me today...working at the pitface tomorrow..then away into the sun next week...:sunshine::sunshine:..haven't even started packing yet tho'.. and then it'll all be over so quickly again..
 
We've booked the Dubai airport hotel for both the trip to Thailand and the trip back home. It makes a huge difference and is worth every penny.

Don't have to go all the way to First, business class gets you the lie flat beds. Our airmiles are not adding up fast enough for us to upgrade as Emirates miles expire after 3 years, so we're always losing some miles every birthday. We even have the Emirates credit card to earn miles, but still not enough. Haven't upgraded since 2013.
 
Another beautiful day in Tampa. I have a home not far from the airport, but the company that I am flying for is putting me up at the Tampa Westin and I am enjoying it tremendously. I'll be more spoiled than what I already am by the time I get home.

Oh nice!!! Enjoy being spoiled!
 
Oldman, you poor thing. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it:)

Kadee, that had to have been a terribly scary thing to happen. Glad you're safe now!

I have to fertilize the flowers this morning and get back to painting the chest. Can anybody tell me why I thought it would be a good idea to mess with it?

About my visit to the dentist...it left a bruise on my chin on the side where the work was done. My daughter said it was there yesterday, but I didn't notice it until last night when I brushed my teeth before bed because I rarely look in a mirror. Tooth is okay...area around it still sore.
 
Yup. The temporary crown is on now. Would that have something to do with the bruising? I've had other crowns and don't remember being bruised.

I don't remember ever getting bruising. I got all my crowns in the US - I think I have 8 or 9. Even with dental insurance I swear I paid for my dentist's Mercedes! However, my dentist here says all of them are in great shape, and most are about 20 years old.
 
It's good to be back on here again, it's mid day here in southern California. We are housesitting but our daughter didn't leave till a couple hours ago so I haven't had time to post. I looked in for a minute or two a couple times but that was as far as I got.

Kadee, I hope you are OK. Let us know what you find out. I know that was scary for you! :(

I really have enjoyed looking in at the thread where so many of you have been posting your photos, it's nice to see what everyone looks like. . :)

I can't be on here long, my grand daughter is here visiting us. She lives here with her mom and also a couple blocks away with her dad. Right now we are both at the dining room table on our computers so we better stop and visit with each other. :)

Thanks Annie and Shalimar. I'll tell you one fun thing I did. We went to the Huntington and my daughter took my photo with the Blue Boy painting. :) We also saw Pinkie and my favorite painting The Cottage Door. I had never been to the Huntington before. I can't post any of the photos though as I looked pissed off in every single one of them. :( I guess cause my legs were hurting. That was the first day and she told me my legs were hurting because I don't walk enough and now on the 4th day they are feeling better. I'm making sure I walk more every day. I also saw a Gutenberg Bible. I think there are only 48 of them in the world now.
