What's on your agenda for today?

I looked up the catchphrase section and I suddenly realized how dumb I am. The one that really blew me over was the one in French! I've taken French and can still use it rustily but if I don't know ahead of time that I'll need to use French, my mind doesn't even go there!
 
The weirdest thing on my agenda today was crawling around under my desk when my mouse came unplugged. I forgot it wasn't wireless and just stared at it for a long moment when it died on me, knowing there were no batteries around the office. Then I realized -- duh -- it plugs into the computer tower, which is under the desk. It was DARK under there, too, and it's a wonder I didn't get electrocuted feeling around for an empty USB slot.

Josiah, sounds like you had a rough time of it. Sure hope you feel better soon!
 
Josiah, hope you feel better soon.
April, enjoy your visit.

Nothing big on our agenda today. Our friends are renting a motorbike bike but sticking to the quieter roads.
 
I remember renting a motorbike in Cyprus AS...I was fine because I had a motorbike of my own at home, so I felt very comfortable driving it ..until I hit a pile of gravel on the road, and off I came..slid right along the road on my back..OUCH!!!

It's 8.30am here, Ice and frost are covering the lawns and cars...it's set to be zero degrees all day but sunny.

Called my daughter in spain to wish her luck getting her stitches out today, to learn that it's not until NEXT Friday.. she so wants it over and done with, but it'll give her hand much more time to heal.

Kath you're not dumb at all....the Catchphrase section just takes a bit of lateral thinking really..some of us get it quite quickly and others take more time to chew it over, and some just love to look at it and wonder how we worked it out.. :LOL..it's fun!! :D
 
Holly: I'm glad your daughter has another week to heal - that will really benefit the hand even though it's tough waiting for removal of the stitches. My former brother-in-law was a hand surgeon and he had lots of pictures and films showing various surgeries he had performed. The pictures were tough to view at first but one gets used to seeing things like that when the icky feeling goes away. He said motorcycle and car accidents were top causes of hand surgeries. I'm going to have to observe the catchphrase section for awhile so I can learn what the guidelines are. I also need to learn how to put pictures on threads so i don't make them the wrong size.
 
Guide-lines, Kath?!
rob puts up these impossible puzzles.....( say what you see) we have to work them out!

i either get it almost immediately; or never....so rely on clues.....from anybody!

i have just painted another wall....
 
Kath the surgeons do a wonderful job repairing people's limbs, Kudos to re-constructive surgeons like your ex B-I-L. 2 of my daughters' fingers were actually torn off in the fall, and they managed to sew them back on. This was last summer, and they say she'll regain full use of her hands eventually. She has to keep going and having it redone tho' where it's not knitting together properly and 2 days a week she has intensive physiotherapy. She's now called to tell me the surgeon has agreed to remove the stitches on Monday so she can get back to trying to exercise her fingers. In all this time she's continued to work..can you believe that she's so brave?

Incidentally there's lots of ways to resize your pictures, I do it from my hosting site..Photobucket...but the quickest most simple way to do it if you haven't got them hosted is to use an editing site like this one.. http://tinypic.com/ you don't have to register.

Simply click ''browse' find your photo and upload it from wherever it is on your computer..

Then click on the box that says (resize) it has a drop down menu...and chhose which size you want...for this site it's best to choose ''Message Board''

Click ''Upload' and it will ask you to copy a few word to prove you're not a spammer..then once you've typed those in your photo will automatically upload..

Simply copy the code for ''forums and message Boards'' and paste it straight onto the forum...

did some outside chores...its cold and snowy here, than watched some Man From U.N.C.L.E. now getting ready to go to the funereal home (friends mother) and than picking up grandchildren
 
Decided to do a little kitchen cleaning - Whoah! Removed small appliances from kitchen counter (where did all those crumbs come from?) and it needed a good wipe - and clean microwave, toaster oven and other items need rearranging/tidying for a fresh clean start. Partly done now but taking a break. It's one of those sunny days where you can see all the dust everywhere. Oh my god!
 
Thanks Holly for the info on how to get photos done properly - I'm going to practice until I've got it down pat. I felt a big clutch in my stomach when you described that your daughter lost fingers - this will take plenty of physical therapy but she sounds like a very brave and determined person. You must be so proud of her - going to work with a badly injured hand - wow! She sure is courageous! Daughters are terrific!

LOL...don't you just hate that...I have about 1 hour in the morning that I can see many many cat hairs and dust bunnies everywhere. In fact that is what I've been doing today....I either have a cold or really bad allergies today, so I'm trying to eliminate some of the cat fuzz and hoping it helps.
 
I was just looking under the bed for a missing shoe and I realized that I have so much stored under there that if the bed ever collapsed it wouldn't go very far in a downward direction. I have allergies, too, but I'm not really sure what's causing them. My family doctor wants me to see an allergist but I keep putting it off.
 
Cat fur - familiar with that too - on clothes, on cushions, couch - even in my fridge! Dustbuster helped a bit. No carpeting here so Swiffering helps too.
 
Waiting around for a new kiddo to show up. This one is 17 and has an ankle monitor on. Oh boy,they sure save the best for us! the agency worker said it was due to an armed robbery but the social worker didn`t say that. We`ll see....
 
It's our friend's 65th birthday. He, his wife and us have booked a boat/dinner trip. A car will pick us up at about 2 and we will go on a longtail boat for 2 1/2 hours around some islands stopping to swim and snorkel. Then back for cocktails on the beach, a shower and a gorgeous set dinner. We will be driven back when we are ready so no one has to be designated driver.

Just finished Skyping son and granddaughters. I love technology!
 
AS...what a terribly boring day you have ahead of you, poor thing... I on the other hand am just about to reach the pinnacles of excitement, by going off in an hour...in the dark and lashing rain and zero degrees.. as it is now at 6.15 am to toil at an 11 hour shift... *joy*


:D:D...I don't envy you one little bit... :tongue::D
 
well my long period of days off have caught up with me.....this part time job is getting in the way of life ....because I let it.....one day soon, preferidy noon, Cooly Reese will have his show down.............for now Hardware-man dons his cape and cowl and heads off to aisle three.......just what broken thing-a-ma-gigs will he see?

Aha! It was perfect. Snorkeled among some fish in very warm water. Perfect dinner on a beach table with candles and sunset. I mentioned it was friend's birthday and they brought out extra goodies. Also Chinese lanterns that you release into the sky. Great sunset. Lots of gin and tonics. Hiccup....

I'm really sad at the thought of leaving in a week. We were making fun of ourselves calling ourselves champagne socialists.
 
I'm volunteering at the museum today, it's dedicated to the Cornish miners and their familys who came here from Corwell to work in the mines. The museum was built by the government as a school for the miners children it had a total of 1200 children attending it closed as a school in 1960's Mining ceased in this area 100 years ago
Expecting to see quite a few people having a look today as its a long weekend in Australia for Australia Day. Our area is very popular with tourists due to having the mining history and nice clean water,sandy beaches and its only two hous drive from The City ( Adelaide )
 
Finally have my car back with 4 working tires on it. Since we were due for another snow, I went immediately to the grocery store to get stuff that I was out of. Made it home just as the first snow began to fall. More snow due tomorrow and the next day too. Bleh!!
 
No plans for today. Just lazy after all that partying and snorkeling yesterday.

We are debating on which house to rent here next year. We've already booked one but we'd really love one on the beach with the massive porch. Also massive price.
 
I had a beautiful day with Daughters, Son-in-laws and Grandkids. My Husband has been dead for 1 1/2 years and I was ready to depart with more things life guns, tools, etc. It has felt peaceful to keep his things around, but time to let go. He would have wanted his kids to have his things. Right after he died, I gave kids extra vehicles, tractors, etc. So they would not deteriorate . Life goes on.

I am planning on a road trip to South Florida where hubby and I used to go in a week,
 
Georgia Lady, I'm sorry you lost your husband so relatively recently, and it must have been hard for you, but well done to you for making the next step towards living your life and going on your trip to Florida.. It will be bitter sweet, of course, but I hope that it will bring you peace and happy memories of times gone by.
