What's on your agenda for today?

Your chances of being in a plane crash are between 1 in 5.4 million and 11 million depending on source. You are far more likely to get struck by lightning or attacked by a shark. And if you are in a plane crash, chances of surviving it are 95.7%.

I'm never, ever afraid when I fly and have no intention of ever stopping.
 

Since I was the 1 in 5.4 million that day I'm glad we went down on a fresh water lake instead of the ocean.....with my luck I'd have probably ended up being a snack for a great white also.

That figure is for the big commericial airliners, not small planes. Those go down much more often.
 
Beautiful day here. I love drop. Drop is when the leaves drop off the trees:)

Pecan pie cheesecake is in the oven, and now I get to clean up the mess in the kitchen. And my laundry is done (but not folded...c'mon, really?).

I wonder if Hollydolly is having fun yet?
 
If you spend your entire lifetime in the Sahara desert your chances of a shark attack are 1 in 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999Bn
 
Early flight this morning. The President and six executives are flying down to Myrtle Beach today to play golf. It must be nice to have an open ended expense account. Believe me, this will be an expensive ride. Weather looks good for today. Got to run and finish my flightplan.

Enjoy the sunshine!
 
Housework which I should be doing now but am procrastinating. Daughter and friend will be here at 3. Hubby will be watching the final in the Rugby World Cup at 4. So lots of swearing.

He'll have the vegetarian lasagna ready for the oven before the rugby match. I'll make the salad and garlic bread.
 
And what's time are we eating, Ameriscot?

I made the pecan pie cheesecake yesterday. WAAAAAY too rich for me! Think of the richness of pecan pie and multiply by 100. Whoa!

It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow and Monday so my day will be spent fiddling around in the flowers.

Hope Hollydolly's back is getting a good rest.

Probably around 6pm GMT. Noon for you. Don't be late. Bring lots of cheesecake and an expensive wine. :D
 
Project for work this morning (rare for me at this stage of my career, but not unexpected at this time of year), then off to make some copies of pictures of my grandkids to bring to my elderly inlaws tomorrow. Heading to FL. While their memory is sadly fading, they delight in seeing pictures of the kids even if they don't "know" them.
 
Bobw, the day might come when the inlaws address the g'kids by your name/the names of their own kids!

Ameriscot. Expensive wine? Expensive? You know that's not a word in my vocabulary or my checkbook! Cheesecake, however...yes:)

Okay. Doesn't have to be expensive. I don't buy expensive wine, I prefer rose'. My brother in the US does and I've never had a wine at his house that I didn't like, although he only buys red or white.
 
Sorry I missed dinner, Ameriscot. Got busy and the time got away from me. Not to worry, though. The wine didn't go to waste! LOL

"Falling back" had me waking up before 5 or 6 or whatever time we just got out of. The first week always does me in.
 
Off to FL this morning to visit the in-laws for a few days. Last time we did this we were stranded for five extra nights by a blizzard up in MA. Came home to nearly three feet of snow! No chance of that this time of year. Heading into summer-like heat and humidity. It will be a sad visit for my wife especially. Dementia is a cruel reality.

Being the only wine drinker in the house, I stuck to hubby's delicious home brew. No complaints, I like both. I'm adjusted to regular time now as I've had a week of it.

Hope the visit isn't too sad. I certainly understand as my dad had dementia for 10 years.
 
Husband, daughter and her friend have all gone into town to church, then swimming in the pool afterwards, then to pick up some shopping. So I got my muscle workouts done while they were gone.

We've got a very long and busy day tomorrow. Daughter and friend are headed to London for a few days and they've booked an early train from Glasgow. So we need to get up before 5am so we can catch the 6:10 ferry. We'll have to drive of course or they would never make it in time.

After we drop them at the train station we'll grab breakfast, then head to the Thai Consulate to drop off our application for a tourist visa. Then we need to get our International driving permits. I have an appt at 2pm to pick up my new glasses - one pair of transitions, and one spare.

I'm totally knackered just thinking about tomorrow!!
 
Ameriscot, is it late enough in the day for you to be done with all your errands? And are you as knackered as you expected? Maybe tonight is a good night to NOT have to cook dinner:)

It's raining pitchforks and hammer handles here and expected to continue all day long, under flash flood watches and warnings until 7 pm.

I have no plan for the day. I might...MIGHT...dust. Hate to rush into anything!
 
Georgia, on our way back home now. It's 2:30. Up at 4:50 and it took me quite a while to feel awake. Couldn't believe how heavy the traffic was on the motorway at 7am!

Dropped off our visa applications by 9am and was told to pick them up at 2. So I picked up my new glasses, stopped for gingerbread cappuccino and blueberry muffin. Browsed some shops, stopped for lunch. Picked up passports with visa stamps for Thailand.

Couldn't get intl driving licences as hubby dropped his wallet on the ferry this morning so no licence. Long story. More later.

Leftover curry and chicken for dinner.
 
Dropped wallet on ferry...dear me! Does that mean dropped wallet on ferry into water? Wut wo!

Leftover anything for dinner sounds like a good plan for today. I'm contemplating making some refried bean soup, but it's like the dusting: don't want to rush into anything:)

Speaking of the dusting that I said I might do...I spied some kitty fur here and there and got the vacuum out. While I was at it, it seemed like a good idea to vacuum. When I was all done, it occurred to me that I should have dusted first. Oh, well. Tomorrow is another day, right?

Nope, not in the water! That would be total disaster! Anyway, on the car ferry he took his free ferry card out of his wallet and I showed it to the ticket collector along with the car ticket and the ones for our passengers. When he went to put it back in his wallet, he couldn't find it. He assumed daughter had played a joke and had hidden it. He opened the door to the car to see if it had fallen between him and door, etc. So we continued with the assumption that daughter had hidden it even though she kept denying it. Anyway, a big Royal Mail truck honked at us several times, and we finally figured out it wanted us to pull over. It had been behind us on the ferry and saw the wallet lying there. No time to turn around or they'd miss their train. So we phoned the ferry office and they had turned it in to the police station. So, all is fine.
 
It is raining today, and it doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon. This rain is sorely needed as we have been experiencing a drought for the last thee years; so I'll not complain. I've finished feeding the animals, and any of my other chores will have to wait for dryer weather. In the mean time, the dogs and I are settling down for a restful day. I started a fire using cuttings from an oak tree that the drought has claimed, and I plan to settle down with my Ipad and start reading a book I just downloaded – PIRATE LATITUDES by Michael Crichton. The fire is crackling and the rain is drumming on the windows – what a wonderful day it is.
