What's on your agenda for today?

Speaking of passports, I have to get mine renewed. So I found at that this town's library is where one goes for passport renewal. They even take the pictures there and supply needed forms. I just have to bring driver's license, birth certificate, and money. Too bad I can't send you one, too, Pappy! :D

I went back to work today after 2 weeks annual leave..worked like a dog for 12 hours trying to get on top of all the work that had been left for me because of other people's incompetence or laziness..or both.. ''Leave it to Holly'' she'll sort it out...of course why not, what else would I want to be doing other than picking up everyone elses' slack? :tapfoot:

I've had a job like that! Coming back from a holiday was a nightmare.
 

I was brave and drove by myself to do shopping at Tesco Lotus. You would understand why I call it brave if you were here. Motorbikes on your left and right and they go the wrong way down one way streets. So turning means checking for motorbikes on both sides. Also the dogs love to cross the streets slowly. I think they are Buddhist dogs. :)
 
LOL at your Buddhist dogs, Ameriscot.

Cold here again...can we please be done with winter now?

Pappy, sorry about your passport troubles. Is it going to be worth it? Mine expired years ago, but I didn't plan to go anywhere so never bothered to renew it.

Worked my fingers to the bone yesterday...nine hours! We can safely call that one DEEP cleaning! Today's a piece of cake, though, because I've been working there so long that I've got it down to a science. Get there, get going, get done, get gone:)
 
We are getting things together to go to immigration office on the island to extend our tourist visa. We applied for a 60 day visa but since I wanted a few days in Bangkok as well as our two month house rental, we are over by 6 days.
 
Yea!!!! I feel like a school kid that just passed his exams. Passport applications are on their way. It was an expensive venture though. Pics. $25.00, City Hall fee, $50.00, passports, $210.00. Anyway, now we wait and hope they get here before the cruise in March.
 
Evening all..almost 8pm here...long hard day at work today and we had storm force winds and on the drive home on the motorway in the rush hour traffic tonight I had a battle to keep the car from being side-swiped and blown off the motorway. It's even worse up North than it is here, they've got winds of up to 110 MPH in Scotland, and they've had to shut some of the train lines, and a few of the bridges because vehicles have been blown off...:winter1:
 
Just back from Dr Appt, mostly will be doing more of what I've been doing most of the week, resting trying to rid myself of this bug and sinus and headache congestion. It's been one miserable week and can't wait for this to be over, though I'm more sorry for others around the world having a much worse time than myself. My heart goes out to the people here and around the globe; Parisians are having such a time this week.

But to subject, I will spend a few minutes here and then steaming the sinuses, lots of tea and bed, rinse and repeat.
 
they are 5 and 7....their parents and big brothers are at a game far away ....home late....so we played a couple card games and now they are watching a movie

Been reading about the winds in my area. Power out and I hope our heating system kicks back in at what we set it at. Biggest concern is ceramic tiles on our roof. Hard to replace as they don't make them any more.

Didn't remember being so expensive! I'm due to renew my US in 2017 and UK in 2019.
 
Nothing much on my agenda today after I visit with my son. I'll try to think of something constructive to do. If that fails, I'll watch something on my list from Netflix.
 
I'm off to buy more food for my birds. They have already eaten 50 lbs of sunflower seeds and some mixed songbird food. Although really it's the squirrels who eat most of it. I especially like watching the rabbits who come to pick up what the birds drop from the feeder. I have a quartet of fat bluejays who make quite a raucous noise fighting over the cracked corn that I put out as well. I enjoy watching the wildlife at my feeder. It's just outside my kitchen window.
 
Since we are due for another snow storm here in a day or two, I went to the grocery store to stock up a bit. Well, that idea was apparently shared by the majority of the local gentry as the store was jam-packed with people! It took me longer than usual to get fewer provisions than usual. Glad I got that over with, though.
 
LOL, Kath. Down here if the forecast has even a hint of freezing rain or sNOw, the shelves in the grocery stores empty of bread, munchies and toilet paper, the dairy cases empty of milk, and the fridge cases are suddenly bare of beer. Oh...candles and batteries disappear in short order as well.

It's a little nippy today, and I would enjoy having a fire, but it would probably be frowned upon since I don't have a fireplace:(
 
Was thinking about renting bikes today but I seem to have picked up a cold. Arghhh.

Husband had to phone our insurance company in the UK as 6 ceramic tiles blew off our roof in the storm and broke. A friend will contact a roofer for us.
 
GeorgiaXplant: I know what you are saying is true because I lived in the Atlanta area for 8 years! I remember the traffic chaos every time it snowed - I worked downtown so the drive home to Marietta was an unreal mess! I still miss lots of things about Atlanta and the state of Georgia and definitely miss my friends there!
