What's on your agenda for today?

Speaking of swimsuits, I wish I'd been wearing a head to toe style while I was at the beach....I'm still having quite a struggle with the icky sunburn I got while there. This is the kind of thing that happens when a person doesn't go to the beach for 30 years (spouse hated beaches). I am using 4 kinds of skin lotion to help get the whole thing over with. Hopefully, I'll stop peeling skin off my legs and arms in a few days - I feel like a leper right now. This was my own dumb fault because I wasn't paying enough attention to what the sun was doing and just assumed the sunscreen would take care of things.

In addition to slopping on lotion today, I put together a shoe cubby that I got from Amazon. This kind of thing comes in pieces and so you whip out your Phillips screwdriver and put all the pieces where they belong. Cubbies are great - you can use them for shoes, socks, handbags, gloves, etc. and putting things together makes me feel like I have some sort of skill set.

Btw, once I get to Scotland, I'm going to visit Debenham's to see what I can buy there. I'm past the bikini age but I remember it very fondly.
 
LOL Jujube.

Heading to the gym now. Ugandan daughter heading back to island today and back to work tomorrow.

Will catch up on laundry and strip guest beds.
 
Indonesia

I will try and sort out some photos to post today, but here are a couple of odd ones that were on the laptop.
The one is moi in a rather fetching sarong, which you have to wear in all the temple areas there. The other is the temple in the sea, which you can only walk to at low tide, unfortunately it was high tide while we were there, so didn't get any closer. You would not be allowed to enter the actual temple anyway, as is usual with most Hindu temples there.

Jujube.... :lofl::clap:

Mornin' folks...

Kath sorry you're still suffering with the sunburn hopefully for not too much longer..no chance of sunburn here it's been raining for the last few days non stop...

Annie shame you didn't get what you wanted...I'm the same as you I don't like halter neck tops, too uncomfortable to swim in..

Today I'm working from home, and also waiting in for the heating installation engineer to arrive who will be installing a remote control system for the Central heating which will enable us to remotely control the CH from our smart phones when we're out of the house...

Did get one bikini anyway, and I've got last year's bikini and one piece. My fault for waiting too long to shop.

Will be nice for you to remotely control your heat. We got a new heating system a couple of years ago and it's regulated by a computer. We can set it to vacation mode and tell it to come back on day we get back.

Nice pics, Merlin! Lovely sarong. I bought lots of those in Thailand and would keep one in the car for when we visited Buddhist temples. Had to have our shoulders covered.
 
Well,we should be becoming Greatgrandparents today. She has been in labor for 2 days now but is finally getting close and the latest update was that the nurse`s say "today`s the day!"
 
I was in Labour for 57 hours....from the Saturday until Tuesday morning ..., I didn't realise they still allowed labour to last so long..poor girl. Hope the new baby is here by now and all is well!!
 
Today is a trip to the dentist. I broke an old molar a few days ago, and it is talking to me. So...I guess it's probably time for another "crown". Oh, well, if they can fix it, that's better than pulling it, and taking another step towards having to have false teeth. Besides, it's miserably hot today, so the outdoor activity is going to have to wait for milder weather.
 
My first was 5 1/2 hours. The second was 45 minutes.

My dh has only one child although he wanted many. Bad post natal depression so no more.
How dreadful that you had to suffer post partum depression and I would surely have given up on child production! My first took 20 hours, second took 2.5 hours and then I retired because I had just ordered the two - one of each.

It's beastly hot and humid here today so most of the neighbors stayed inside. I had to walk the dog so had to change clothes after each walk due to sweatiness.
Spent part of the day reading the selection for next book club meeting - "Old Filth" by Jane Gardam. So far, it's a pretty good read and I love the book's title!
 
Hello everyone....have not the time to go back very far in this thread. Up to my ears in dog deadline. Did go back one page to see Merlin's skirt. Quite handsome. Kath...still suffering from your burn? Must have been a very bad one. Get well. Bikini, Annie? WOW.... Hope everyone is doing well and that you all have a terrific week. Hope to catch up on the weekend.
