What's on your agenda for today?

Well that's praise indeed from your son georgia...those cheesecakes must have been deeelicious.

&am her now..still almost totally dark..I'm just getting ready to leave for work. Had a dreadful night's sleep last night. I have to take muscle relaxant meds so I can sleep due to my back injury, and I'd run out of them without realising it, so I didn't sleep more than 1/2 an hour and I've woken with the muscle spasms ..never mind 11 hours on my feet should be the cure...errrm!! :rolleyes:

Have a good day folks..
 

In Glasgow. Ordered new glasses. Decided on the transitions lenses so I never have to change into sunglasses. Second pair is a spare. Varifocals, lightweight and frameless. £348.

Lunch out. And having a pint before I catch the train. It is sunny so the streets are mobbed.
 
Hollydolly...you ran out of meds for your back? I bet you get that prescription refilled today! Hope you get another day off soon.

It's back out to the garden for me today. Used to be that I could work out there for hours; now I can tote and haul and dig for about two hours, take a short break and work for two more. Maybe the garden just needs to be made smaller?

I'm going to make a Panera copycat broccoli cheese soup recipe for our supper tonight. I love their broccoli cheese soup so hope this recipe really is a copycat. Um...no, I'm not going to make bread bowls for serving it!
 

It was COLD here this morning. Yes, it's all relative. Relatively speaking or not, 51F here is cold. It's rarely too cold to keep me from drinking my coffee on the patio, though.

The gardening got done yesterday but the broccoli cheese soup didn't. My daughter saw a recipe posted on FB for a chicken dish, and son-in-law had the day off. When he has a day off, she cooks so she made the chicken. Lemme tell ya! That was some tasty chicken. All you do is coat chicken breasts with pesto, lay sliced tomatoes over the top of each piece, cover each piece with a slice of mozzarella, bake, eat. Heaven on a plate! Even grandson ate it, and his idea of good food is anything that comes in a paper sack from the window of a drive-thru.

The broccoli cheese soup is going to be our supper tonight. I was really tempted to make bread bowls to serve it in, but my daughter and I would probably be the only ones who'd eat them. It's a lot of extra work so maybe next time I'm in the supermarket I'll check out the price of round loaves of bread. I looked on the Panera website to see if they can be purchased from them...yes, but try to find the !#$%^&*! price. They don't say. Grrr.

Tomorrow is another recipe from FB for meatballs made with a cube of mozzarella inside the meatball. They don't have to be browned, just popped in a crockpot to cook in the spaghetti sauce. Sounds good to me.

Wut wo...I'd always heard that old people only have three things on their minds...what they had for their last meal, what they'll have for their next meal and whether they've had a BM today! Maybe I'm not really old yet because I don't concern myself with the third one:)
 
Good workout at the gym today. Chilly but dry. In the low 50's.

Plans are up in the air for next week as a friends' sister died yesterday. Knew it would happen soon. We want to go to the service which may be the middle of next week. Had plans to go to Inverness to stay with stepdaughter's family a few days while she has the week off. But we can see them at another time.
 
Morning all,

Pitch dark outside still, and I'm just having my usual morning cuppa and stroll around SF before getting dressed and leaving for the pitface!!

Had a very weird dream last night about how my husband was a falling down drunk and his hands were swelling up and going black like a dead man's hands, and he was at a bar in an indoor market but he was drooling all over another woman and she him, and he kept slurring I want to sleep with her..and I cared that he didn't...WTH....I shoulda been shouting go , get going FGS..LOL :rolleyes:


Annie sorry to hear you've lost a friend :(

Georgia...yummmy to the cheese and Broccoli soup, it's one of my all time favourites, I love broccoli and Stilton...I don't like Pesto so I won't be trying your daughters' chicken recipe tho', but glad you enjoyed it , and your dinner didn't come through a take away window.
I've tried those meatballs with the cube of cheese in the middle..it certainly keeps them moist but I find them a little too rich..at least for me anyway!!

Right..think of me going out in the dark and cold ( 56f) at the moment...last day at the pitface for this week, working from home tomorrow and then a long weekend again...:D
 
So sorry, Ameriscot. It's hard even when we haven't seen them in a long time. I got an email from a classmate last night saying that one of our other classmates died. It brought up all kinds of memories of our school days and Girl Scout camp days. So glad that all the memories of her are good ones. She was a good friend then and would have still been had we lived closer. The last time I saw her was at our 50th class reunion...the one I wasn't going to go to. Glad now that I did.

I've already been out in the garden. Yeah, I know I said that it was done. It was. Well, pretty much:) Just a couple of things to relocate, some fertilizing, a snip here, a snip there. NOW it's done. I think.

Our weather is going to change to real fall weather this weekend. Sunshine, highs in the mid-60s and lows in the 40s. I'll be glad when we get our first frost so that allergy season is done.

Where's Hollydolly? I hope she's not laid up in bed with ice packs!
 
LOL Georgia...those cheesecakes have gone to your brain sweetcheeks...I posted this morning at 6.30am, 3 posts above yours.. :D I've been at work all day...left at 7am..got home an hour ago..it;s now 10pm and to say I'm shatttttered and really sore is an understatement..roll on bedtime.. .but bless you for thinking of me.. :love_heart:
 
On, my. My brain has turned to cheesecake! Sorry your shatttttered, but glad you're home. I hope you get a day off or a day to work from home soon.

Okay, Hollydolly...I backed up a saw that you said you're home tomorrow. Yay you! Yay your back! Yay! Here's hoping it's a perfectly glorious fall day tomorrow.
 
Lovely day here. Sunny but chilly. About 50F/10C at 12.30. Went to the gym and did grocery shopping. Husband will be watching Rugby World Cup all weekend so I'll finish reading my book - except when Scotland plays of course.

I was hoping for at least one more day when we could do a long bike ride, but it looks like mid-60's are gone for the year.
 
Good morning, boys and girls. Having a hard time getting my eyes open this morning even though I've already had my two cups of coffee.

Nothing exciting here today at all. It's laundry day, and that's about it.
 
55F here today, a bit dull and overcast. Been to the library to collect the books I ordered which includes the latest one by Louise Penny so I'm a happy bunny... I love her books! :D Made some veggie soup when I got home. And that's about all I'm doing today!
 
Good morning all, another cool morning here, I'm sporting new hearing aids today, trying to adjust my brain to all the new sounds....going to cook ribs for a family get together later on.
 
Looks like the Chicago area is going to get it's first frost this weekend... Right on schedule.. Glad I got my fall plantings done last weekend while it was warm.. I put in a Holly bush.. AN evergreen Azalea and a Spirea.... as well as 50 tulip bulbs.
 
Frost. Ugh. We'll probably get our first one in the next week or two. Far north Georgia is supposed to get it tonight. I think (hope!) we're far enough south that it won't hit here, but it will be cold tomorrow.

I didn't feel like doing anything today...just one of those days with no motivation whatsoever...but managed to get my butt in gear and clean the bathroom, wash the bath mats, start the rest of the laundry and change the bed. Next up is cleaning the kitchen (insert whine here). I don't wanna!
