What are you doing today?

I walked out to the dumpster and then around the front of the building. It is 28 degrees right now. So it was refreshing after being cooped up all day. Took some pictures and I posted a few on my diary page. Made my soup earlier and already had a bowl. Good on a cold day, though I am not cold inside. Now going to make the Keto Chow pecan stick buns replacement shake for ice cream for tomorrow. Cannot wait to try it! I am getting started on vacuuming at the same time. Multi tasking.
 

I'm feeling somewhat better today. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

I'm going to flip the mattress and change all the bedding (including mattress cover, etc.). And vacuum the bedroom.

Keep checking my messages to see if ultrasound calls about an appointment.

That's enough for one day!

No exercise, as I still feel a bit queasy.

Hello everyone!

I had a wonderful 3 days at the roller rink. It was super busy...and I loved every minute of it! 💖

Today, it's a very yucky day. Cloudy, damp, and 42° F (5.5° C)...all day. 😝

emoticon
I decided to make another Yule Cake today, to bring to the rink on either Dec 23rd or 24th. It just came out of the oven, so the kitchen is warm and smells wonderful!

Later I'm hoping to watch the last episode of "1883".

I assume one of them was for me but did not help the loss.
I decided to do laundry first today which means four trips up and down and now in the dry cycle which gives me about 40 minutes to rest and have a coffee so please do eat another one for me thank you and I will think about it while eating my shortbread biscuits.(y)

I've been trying to track them down in the Garden centre food shops where it's being sold, and I can't find them. My friend in Liverpool can get them, but they're not anywhere down here in the South. I want to find them for my Daughter, it's the type of thing she would love at Christmas ... No point in buying them online because Royal mail are on strike most days leading up to Christmas

My lady has had her finger nails all blinged up today. Bright sparkly red, ready for the party season. We are off to the showrooms of my tailor on Thursday, just a gathering of his clients, he always puts on an amazing buffet, the table groans with the weight. Good wine too but I shall pass on that. The tailor's showroom is above this restaurant, but it's here where we will party.

Have you ever heard of The Sugar Push? It's swing style dance from the mid 20th century. Sugar Push is the name that the organisers use to describe their Sunday afternoon Swing style Jive. In the evening, after the dance, a crowd of us will enjoy a meal at The Forage restaurant in Lyndhurst, the central town of The New Forest.

We spend the day messing around with dishwasher.
Went to purchase a new one ,, store didn't have the model we want in black.

Came home, shoved the stove & dishwasher back into their spaces.

Suggested that we remove the dishwasher's door fix it so it opens.
Use the space behind it for the thrash can.

I really don't use the dishwasher much,,, maybe 3 -4 times a year.

We have only just had a frost, it's been cold but wet all day. Not exactly enjoyable, I'm surprised there's any snow at all. Had a quick check, risk of snow tomorrow but clear for the rest of the week. It's that sea drift that laps our shores Holly, not that I could ever take a dip like some hardy souls do on New Year's Day.

yes of course you have the sea there... you're lucky to have escaped this, it's actually worse than I've ever known it since I was a child... and absolutely freezing too... currently minus 5...
 
I am currently wrestling a 12lb cheeweenie, with the teeth and the bark of a 50lb dog. She does not feel the need to have a mani/pedi when she needs to have it done. I have placed a thick towel on the washing machine (the area of the torture procedure)

I have baked a chicken breast, cooled it and cut it into small pieces. These are handed to her throughout the procedure as anesthesia. They are distracting but still we tangle. At this point I am half way done. I have released her from the procedure area (for a liittle while), all the fussing and fighting has exhausted me. I have returned to the kitchen to cut more chicken. As God as my witness, I will prevail! When the sun rises tomorrow this cranky girl will have beautiful paws if it kills me.

Yes I know I can take her in into the vet or groomer and have it done but since I currently sleep all day, I can't get there in time. Also a $2 chicken breast is a lot cheaper than a $25 visit to the dog pros when you have 3 dogs.

You're right about sea temperatures. Look at this map and see the differences in sea and land temperatures around our Island.
This morning I shall be at work earlier, we have some guests whom I have been (t)asked with, giving the guided tour. The hat has been requested, last time I was told that I looked like a movie extra from one of those "Film Noir," flicks. Was that a compliment?

Long time since I've been down to Lyndhurst and the New Forest, though when we lived in Horndean I went down that way quite often. Hope you have a great time at your party.
Ah, dishwashers... Just before we headed off to Vienna, our 14+ year old Rangemaster dishwasher packed up. I remember one year DD gave me a birthday card with the message, "If dad can't fix it, we're screwed". Well, I wasn't going to waste too much time on a 14 yo machine that came free as part of a package when we changed the kitchen, so it was off to the dealer in town. In spite of keeping my wallet tightly locked, Mrs.L chose a top of the range Bosch which was delivered a couple of days later. Must admit, it does a fantastic job and is used 4 or 5 days a week.

It's snowing heavily this morning, This has been the worst winter so far since 2010. I should have built a bigger airing cupboard since it is the warmest spot in the house, but we can't all get in.
 
NO fresh snow here this morning.. but the snow from yesterday hasn't melted it's just too cold. That said the children have returned to school.. but now today the Rail worker have gone on strike.. so no trains or tubes.. . The Postal workers are on strike again tomorrow, and Thursday... The nurses and medical staff will strike as from Thursday... Also striking this month are G4S staff, London bus drivers, Eurostar security personnel, Border Force agents, Heathrow baggage handlers, Scottish teachers, driving examiners in northern England and Scotland and National Highway Workers around the country, all of which adds up to huge disruption for the public and service complications for businesses across the country.

The roads are solid ice today..with snow on top making them treacherous to drive on.. I've been watching the mothers and children walking to school, soooo very carefully... , so altho' I should go and get some bread and milk.. I won't be going anywhere today..it would be madness...

I'm waiting for a delivery today.. it's coming down by Van from the North of England, so I don't know when it'll get here.. they can only tell me it will be here sometime today..
