What's on your agenda for today?

My clothes dryer bit the dust yesterday so we are driving into Glasgow today to buy one. We can order one online but delivery sometimes takes days and I was in the middle of doing a big pile of laundry yesterday.

I know that camera it's a bridge camera similar to the one I have only a little bigger. I've toyed with the idea of buying the lumix but I'm not sure because it's not super brilliant for night photos (so I've heard) and that's what I'd like to have...my fuji finepix s7000 is rubbish at night photos as well...photography is my favourite hobby too...as multi thousands of photos on my computer will testify..:D

Mine too! Got more and more interested the last ten years or so. Finally bought a DSLR 4 years ago. Still want two more lenses.
 
That's a fantastic sharp photo DIM....but after reading the reviews for the FZ70 I think it'll be too difficult for me to negotiate..I'm not a techi by any strength of the imagination and I don't want to remove my enjoyment of taking photos by having to adjust apertures etc before taking a photo on the hoof..which is 9/10th's of my photos.. so I'm thinking I may go for an easier option entry level Nikon D3300 which has amazing reviews. Not totally made my mind up yet..
 
Good rainy morning from Georgia. It's "warm" again. 45F. We'll probably have rain most of the day. That's fine. We don't have to shovel rain:)

Holly, the i-something bed...LOL...some kind of memory foam. It's come a long way since first coming on the market. Expensive but worth every penny.

Today I'll finish cleaning "my dog's" house and leave around 3, I think. Tomorrow would have been their regular cleaning day, but since I'm here for the weekend, it gets cleaned, the dog gets "sat" in one fell swoop, client comes home to a clean house, and I get a day off tomorrow.

Everybody stay warm, dry and comfy today!

I can see a huge difference in my photos between automatic setting and manual. Much more depth with a manual setting, but it can be a lot of fiddling around if the light isn't just right.
 
Serious shopping today! We went across the water to buy a dryer as mine died. Can take too long to wait for delivery due to our location and needing to use the ferry or I would have ordered online like I usually do for big appliances. While there we also bought a toilet, wallpaper, floor tiles for our half bathroom (I've been wanting this done for ages). Forgot to get a medicine cabinet but might find one in town. Also got a new battery for the car, a bike helmet of me as I gave mine to daughter. Whew!
 
We are going to watch the Nascar race from Daytona this afternoon.
It's raining, yes raining not snowing, so it's a good afternoon to be inside and
find out who wins the first big race of the 2015 season.
 
Georgia, I have a Tempur mattress which is a superior version of the memory foam..it's 10 inches thick...have a look here.. :D

This afternoon we went to visit Waltham Abbey church...it's where King Harold the ll is buried who died in 1066 at the Battle of Hastings... got some photos of the inside of the church but it was quite dark in there so I won't know until I download them how they turned out.
Afterwards we went to a a half timbered inn in the middle of the market square (next to the Abbey) that's been open and trading as a pub since the 15th century and we had lunch of Roast beef and all the trimmings..very nice and cosy..particularly as it was absolutely lashing down and blowing gale force winds.. :winter1:just walking from the Pub to the car park about 1/4 of a mile we got drenched.

Back home now to settle down in front of the PC and The TV in the nice warm :D
 
Gave myself a pedicure and saved $30....... Doing laundry.... cooking dinner.. (Krakus ham, sweet potaoes) and watching the Oscars with the rest of the bottle of wine from last night..
 
QS...I'm recording the Oscars in case I nod off (happens every year). This was a laundry day for me too. I have never had a pedicure in my entire life - have had lots of manis but I detest my feet so they get zilch, and like you say no pedi means money in the bank.

HD....your dinner out sounds absolutely great! I love Brit food so much - my Gram (from Beds.) used to make wonderful roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Yumm.......
 
Started coughing again last night (post nasal drip) so didn't sleep well. Argghh. So no intense gym workout today. I'll do my upper body dumbbells routine at home and start on our big bedroom wardrobe sorting it out.
 
Morning all,


Hi Kath yes my dinner was delicious yesterday ...here's where we went..we'd actually planned to go somewhere else but because it'd started to rain heavily this place was right next to the abbey...so we went there instead. Nothing fancy inside but good food.. 579054477_84b19f6c08.jpg

Annie sorry to hear your coughs' back...this bug does seem to want to hang around forever doesn't it ?

I just love these buildings.

It's very unusual for me to hang on to a virus this long. I don't feel ill any more. This messes up my MWF gym schedule as we'll be in Glasgow Thurs and Fri.
 
Holly, yessss! That's exactly the kind of mattress I meant.

For all you sickies out there...get better and make it quick! Spring is on the way (if the calendar is to be believed), and you need to be better so that you can enjoy it.

I've been in little pubs like that in the West Country and near Stonehenge. What struck me, aside from the incredible age, was that the doorways were so low. The explanation I got was that people were somewhat shorter way back then, and the explanation for that was that the advent of electric lights and our improved diets have made people taller now. Okay.

I have a day off today because today's client is the one I dog sat for over the weekend so cleaned their house while I was there. Now...if the sun would just come out....

There's a hotel in a small town about 40 miles from us. Some friends were visiting one year and we stayed in the hotel for one night. I am 5'5" and I had to duck to get into the room. And it's not that old - a bit less than 250.

was going to stack some wood but once again it is minis 15, have to run to town at some point and figure out my car insurance .....will mostly spend the day inside for now...
 
Good morning. Since I'm a night owl, this is really early for me. I have some tidying up to do today. It is raining off and on, but not icy.
My heart goes out to all of you fighting the icy and snow conditions. I am so concerned about the Tennessee seniors who are fighting this cold. So many are dying of hyper thermal. They are not equipped to withstand all of this.
