What's on your agenda for today?

Cooking, cooking....going to my son's tonight to see Santa.

Merry Christmas and Good Wishes for everyone on the forum.
 

Nice quiet day for us ,it's C/day here in Aust ...but we had all our celebrations yesterday due to my daughter and GD having to go back to the city today due to her having shared custody with 10 year old GD with her ex
We had a really nice few days ( but very hot weather) so we didn't go to the beach ,as we normally do ,we did however go out last night after dark on the tourist tram which conducts a tour of Christmas lights around our town each year it was rally nice with lots of people outside due to it being fairly hot ..Merry Christmas to everyone hope to " catch" up with you all on here again as soon as the festive season finishes :christmas1:
 
It's xmas morning in Thailand. Skyped my family who had just finished xmas eve dinner on Michigan.

Having a cappuccino before accompanying hubby to mass. Hubby is catholic. I'm ex catholic.
 

Christmas Eve and hubby wasn't up to cooking. As an Italian American and lapsed Catholic he still wants to observe the seven fish tradition. We found the perfect seafood place and will definitely go back. We looked at all the Christmas décor on the way home...lovely night. Then we got home...two men from across the street yelling loudly in the street. What it boiled down to was "**** you just ****you MAHN, you ain't nothin' but a JUNKIE!". Then the screech of tires, and a Merry Xmas to you and yours...indeed. At least no squad cars or gunfire. Aye, at least they weren't at our house.
 
I did get permission to take my Suzy dog to the dinner today. Suzy loves people! It will be a good time with my sister n laws brother and his life partner. They are very nice people.
 
70 degrees on Christmas Day is weird though. I lived in Florida for seven years and you got used to them hauling a truck of snow to the park so the kids could play in it...shopping for a tree in shorts. But where we live now you should at least need a coat this time of year. Can fix global warming so I guess I'll just enjoy it.
 
Now that we've eaten I am going to relax the rest of the day. I have a Thomas Kincaid puzzle I just started. First I guess I'll go outside in the cold (upper 40s) and sit by my husband for awhile and read, just to be sociable. He is doing what he loves to do best, if he isn't fishing, out working on an old car.

Butterfly, I love driving around looking at lights too. My husband can't see to drive so well in the dark anymore so we skip it unless we are at our daughter's at the right time of the year. She sent me some photos of a walk around the neighborhood that she, her hubby and the 2 girls made last night. They live near a few streets where the people go all out so it was beautiful.

Quiet day once all the debris was gathered up. Santa brought me a bike...the old-fashioned kind without gears and hand brakes. Yay! A bike I can ride:). My daughter got a bike, too, and we were out in the cul de sac in our jammies testing them this morning. Santa also brought me an assortment of loot, including a grown-up coloring book and coloring pencils.

Just when we thought the rains were done with us, it started up again. Flood watches all around the area and even tornado watches. So far they aren't real close to us. And it was much too warm today. I think our high temp was 75. It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow and still in the 70s into early next week. It wouldn't surprise me if we're up to our eyebrows in sNOw and/or ice by next weekend, though!

What's the seven fish tradition, Fur?
 
Saturday morning here. Nearly lunchtime. The sea is too rough to take out the kayak, although it's sunny and not a sign of rain. Maybe a bike ride down some side roads. And book a longboat/snorkeling tour for sometime next week.

When I Skyped family day before yesterday I had a chat with sister and we've picked dates for this summer. She's coming to Scotland for 3 weeks then we are flying back together. But we will only stay for 2 weeks this time instead of the usual month. We have a family wedding in Scotland the end of July and Aussie inlaws are coming to it. We'll spend a few weeks with them afterwards.

I love these visits but it cuts into our very long bike rides.
 
Another warm and (maybe) sunny day here. Right now it's 67F so coffee on the patio. Now if you'll excuse me...I love coffee on the patio!
 
Aw enjoy your coffee Georgiaxplant! I have a real exciting day planned. Grocery store:( Of course that all depends on if hubs gets the water line fixed he broke yesterday. Never let a retired carpenter do plumbing. I have been hiding out in the house hoping for a nice neighbor to come rescue him.
 
Today I going to spend some time learning more about my computers. I don't do too bad on my iPad, (my second one), but I'm still just staring at my new Dell XPS18, although I finally have gotten the Dell connected to the wireless printer.

I admit that any time I wanted or needed something done to the many computers I had over the past thirty years, I handed the machine to my hubby, and 'poof' all was magically done. Since he has been gone, I have had to ask others to help me, and that is getting old. So it is time I pull out my courage peek at the scary monsters.


Today I want to find out how get some of those neat animated cartoons you guys show in your posts. I don't even know what they are called. I've asked a couple of people, but as soon as they say something like left or right click, I loose it. iPads don't have left/right clicks, for that matter there is no mouse.

So is there anyone who can advice me on iPads, or tell me what those animated cartoons are called, (not emoticons), and maybe where to find them? I have a cellular iPad Air 2 128GB.
 
Ina, I've found the "For Dummie's" books helpful with computer programs etc. and then I've usually bought a couple other computer books too. I need to spend more time going through them though. My son-in-law gave me an Ipad tablet he'd gotten for Christmas a couple years ago because he had a couple already. I gave it back after a few days, I just wasn't up to dealing with it. I like to type too much to mess with those kinds of keyboards and not have a mouse. I imagine if I had a smart phone I'd be more comfortable with the ipads etc. I hope you are having good luck with it and learning a lot. I know these kinds of things can keep our minds agile and hold off dementia. Or at lest that's what my kids keep telling me. :)
 
Sunny again today. But the sea is still too wild for taking out the kayak. Anyway, we're a bit worn out from our bike ride and hike up a steep road yesterday. We also walked to dinner instead of driving or cycling - 3 miles roundtrip.

Hubby is on the bedroom porch with the fan and his feet up reading The Guardian on his Kindle. I might start a new book. Will be in the pool later. Went to the gym this morning for opening time at 7. Hubby was in the pool doing laps just after 6.
 
I have FitBit and I got lazy for awhile there. Working my way back up my friends chart. Not really competitive...it's just when you have maybe 200 friends plus and you're even around 60 it's a good feeling.
 
Nothing on my agenda today except doing nothing and hoping I'm not really getting a cold. I don't want a cold. I don't want to be sick. I REFUSE!

Well, the condition of the streets and roads here dictate that I won't be going anywhere today, that's for sure. I was hoping it would get above freezing so I could dig out my car, but the weather guy says no. So I guess I'll just putz around the house again. At this rate I'm going to get cabin fever!
