What's on your agenda for today?

Ameriscot is on holiday in Thailand..
mozzies are mosquitoes....tends to be the midges that bite in Scotland, but it is too cold for them at the moment!
 
Today is laundry and spoofing up the house for Christmas, I've been doing some cooking ahead that I can freeze for Christmas dinner so it will not be so overwhelming on Christmas day.

Freezing ahead for xmas dinner is the way to go. I plan to do the same, but still deciding on menu - might do some baking in a little while though.
 
Did a small load of laundry, cleaning my oven automatically. Watching the last 2 episodes of Harry Potter. Same ole, same ole.
 
Gym day so I walked down for the opening at 7.

Took the laundry next door to the office. They wash, dry and iron for a fee per kg. We have a maid every 4 days who cleans the house, changes the sheets and exchanges the towels so we don't pay for that. Its included in the rent.

Did my hand washing and put on the drying rack on the bedroom porch. Can't put my wicking knickers/panties in a dryer so I wash them myself.

Will go out for a cappuccino and maybe lunch. Swim. Read. Whatever strikes our fancy.
 
Oops. I think I remember reading yesterday but didn't post. I dog sat over the weekend and cleaned while I was there because today was the dog's people's regular cleaning day...saved my having to go back today. I started getting some Christmas stuff done. Made three batches of Chex mix, two batches of white chocolate gumdrop fudge, made and rolled the dough for peanut butter blossoms. I had good intentions...like making cookie dough for all the cookies and making three batches of caramel corn. I wonder if there's room for any more pavement on the road to hell...
 
Not a gym day. Chatted online with a friend who also wants to learn French and bought the Rosetta Stone programme like I have.

Been here over two weeks and still haven't gone for Thai massage. Checking out a spa package.
 
This evening I bought a 23andme personal genome test kit and arranged for it to be sent to my grandson as a Christmas gift. I had my personal genome tested several years ago and ever since I've become very interested in understanding the health implications of the mutations I inherited from my parents. My grandson is a premed student in his sophomore year in college so the gift seems entirely appropriate.
 
Someone mentioned in another thread that this thread was too long, members here used to create a new thread at the beginning of each month. Please feel free to do it if you prefer a fresh start each month.
 
I've been on another board for years. There are threads there that were started when the board started and are up to 1200, 1500, however many pages. We like it because we can go back without have to remember and search out another post. If it bothers any of the posters ON THIS THREAD, feel free to start a new one. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Whatever.

Viv, a meaningful relationship with your steam cleaner? I wouldn't quite call it thrilling:)

Pappy, it's 60F here. 60! This is December, is it not?
 
Trash day here....gotta lug the trash out to the road, trying to decide if it is too early to buy groceries for Christmas dinner.....Bella to the groomer and that's about it.
 
just ordered a book from Amazon, having coffee, reading a few comic books and maybe going to the city with Supergirl to shop......
 
It's foggy, drizzly and dreary today and I'm taking the day off, glued to my computer chair with lemonade and peanuts, trying to watch a netflix episode of Midsomer Murders, surfing the web, doing some online shopping, checking my email and the forum, stopping to do dishes, looking out the window, making phone calls - all in a days work.
 
Been to the gym early, had breakfast, swam in the pool. Going out to the beach-side restaurant for lunch that we found yesterday.

Yesterday we went to look for a gold pagoda I saw on the tourist map. Wow!

Not a gym day. Long lie. Got up at 7.30. Hung around the house after breakfast then went shopping for bananas etc about 9.30. Stopped in for cappuccinos at our favourite place. Want to go for a walk but a bit concerned that it might start pouring. But that's okay as it rarely lasts more than 30 minutes.
