Evening Holly , you enjoy all your special treats, I still remember what someone said to me when I turned 60 ! He said after all you will be on your way to 70 tomorrow :giggle::flowers:
 
Happy happy happy birthday, Holly! I hope it's all a birthday should be and more:)

And happy anniversary, Ameriscot!

Still raining here. I expect to see animals marching up the street in pairs, carrying lumber and shipbuilding supplies...
 
Have my yearly performance review today.. want to see what they come up with in the way of an increase.. lol!!


Happy birthday Holly... and Happy Anniversary AS
 
Happy Anniversary, Annie - Enjoy your celebration!

Having morning tea black, low on coffee and out of milk, so there you go. It's been a busy busy week, out almost every day, and off to my ladies knitting/crochet circle soon (I know, very sedate, but not really). I've started a granny square solid color afghan, which I'm happily getting somewhere with. Knitting is the rage here as are other crafty pastimes like quilting and sewing here in the big smoke, believe it or not. Soon it will be salsa dancing.
 
AS - Hope your anniversary is lovely and that you both enjoy yourselves!

Holly - Have a fun birthday and many, many more to come!

Today was one of those days where one thing gets piled on top of another - I have to walk the dog one more time and then I'm going to dive into bed and go comatose.
 
Thanks, Kath. We had a nice dinner at a pub down the road - road our bikes so we could have beer. Typical Scots were sitting out front at the picnic tables and benches with short sleeve shirts and it was only in the low 50's F!

Up very early this morning - before 6. Hubby is going to the island where our Ugandan daughter lives and works. He'll be bringing her back here for a week on Monday. He's been itching to try out his new pedal-assisted electric bike, so is driving to the town where the ferry departs with his bike strapped on the back. He'll park the car in town and take the ferry over to the big island and ride his bike the 40 miles to the ferry which takes him to the wee island. A beautiful ride.

So I'm on my own until Monday afternoon. Workout later this morning, then housework, getting guest room ready. Need to get up into the loft and toss down a single mattress and air it out as we're going to have an overlap of guests next weekend. Scottish daughter will be here with her family.

You, too? 30 about sent me around the bend. It was in the days of "don't trust anyone over 30". Turning 40, 50, 60 were ho-hum, just another day. Turning 70 surprised me because I hadn't expected to live to 70. Yet here I am:D

My theory: At 30, I still had illusions about how my life was going to turn out, things I was going to accomplish and the person I was going to turn out to be. Turning 30 without accomplishing many of those was a real downer. By 40, I had settled into who I am and didn't have that many illusions left. By 50, I was pretty happy with my lot in life and felt a lot better than I had at 30. By 60, I was more confident about my abilities than I had ever been (two years as a widow had taught me that I could do a lot more than I had thought). I'm actually looking forward to 70.
 
Happy Anniversary, Annie!

Usually on Saturdays I'm staying at my S.O.'s place and don't sign on to SF when we're "out and about." But today he's coming to my place as tomorrow we're setting off early for Balboa Park (which I live much closer to) where we'll enjoy the Earth Day celebrations. Should be fun - hope it's not too hot.

Thanks, Glinda! We had a pleasant dinner out. :)

Have fun at the Earth Day celebrations.
 
AS - Glad your dinner out was fun and your hubby's bicycle ride sounds very exciting! I hadn't heard of the kind of bicycle he has but it sounds like way more fun than the usual bike.

Got up at 5 a.m. this morning to walk dog - when we got back I opened the fridge and realized it wasn't working. Checked the circuit breaker downstairs and then got out the instruction book that came with the fridge originally. Read the book completely - no clue. Meanwhile I loaded up all the food in the fridge that still looked OK and took it to our old fridge in the garage. Then phoned the place where we bought the broken fridge and they said they would come here on Monday afternoon to fix it (hopefully). When I carried the bags of food from fridge A to fridge B, I really did a number on my already-hurting rotator cuff tear, but on Mon. a.m. I'll be seeing my family doctor who plans to give shots to my rotator cuff area. Right now, I've got the shoulder wrapped up in a heating pad which helps a bit but keeps me from doing some of the other things I wanted to do. Since my local book club meets in a couple days, I've been trying to finish the chosen book which is "Shadow Divers," the true adventure of 2 Americans who risked all to unearth a sunken U-boat left over from WWII. This book club is made up of 17 women so it's somewhat amazing that this book was chosen for the April read. One of the club's goals was to "push the envelope" so that club members would not get into a readership rut. Still not working enough on my personal goal to travel everywhere (well, at least to UK and environs). AS and Holly and other travelers, what do you do about your pets when you go on trips? Any info would be hugely appreciated.
 
Kath, there are many types of electric bike, some you can switch on the battery and you don't have to pedal. His is pedal-assisted so you never stop pedaling but it makes cycling up hills a LOT easier. He said the 40 miles was a piece of cake. I've decided I want one too!

Sorry about your fridge! When it happens to us it's always when it's totally stocked up. Hope your rotator cuff gets relief. I've hurt mine a couple of times and it's not fun!!

The reason we don't have any pets is because we travel. I'd love a dog but we are gone too often and for too long. If my stepdaughter lived a lot closer we'd share a dog.
 
went to a small comic convention in Flint mich. took two of my grandchildren.....now splitting wood for next winter, well right now going to sit on my porch and read for a spell....

Thanks for the info on the bike - it sounds perfect! I'm shocked that I haven't seen anyone around here riding one! I'll bet if I got one, everyone else might too! I expect I'd need a helmet as well - when I think of all the miles I rode my bike back in the day, I never once had anything on my head (well maybe a scarf)!

I can certainly see why you don't have a pet because you folks do travel very often. My dog is a very devoted dog - I've never had one as loyal and loving as Suki so I may have to find a way to travel with her in tow. If we were away from each other, I'd be missing her as much she would miss me so we'd both be a mess! If I ever moved to Scotland I'd share a dog with you because you seem like you'd be an excellent dog-mom.
 
Congrats Kathy G. The only time I've heard of Euchre was when I lived in the UP.

Kath, yes I'd be a great doggy mum. :D We are in ideal location for a dog. Stone wall surrounding 1/2 acre and a beach out front at low tide - a popular dog walking site. But between the last week of August and first of March we'll be gone 4 months and one week.

DH was talking about buying this bike for many months and I kept saying no no no too much money, especially with our Thailand trips. I finally gave him a go ahead in exchange for him giving me a new half bath. The bikes were on sale from £2500 to £1500. He said he'd get me one as well and now I'm kicking myself for saying no. Not on sale any more. :(

Yes Kath wear a helmet. I like my current bike but can't keep up with DH now!!
