What's on your agenda for today?

Thank you cookie, it's a small rock water feature in the garden of a Cave Bar near my home in Spain :D I don't think I have any photos of it on it's own, but excuse the massive photo of me in this next one but this shows the water feature off a little more clearly..



The Cave bar is beautiful it was built in the influence of the great Spanish Architect Antoni Gaudi who was responsible for the beautiful architectural buildings in Barcelona among other places..

Oh! Is this what it looks like @ 5 am in the morn. I confess I have been hibernating all winter. I do stay up reading or watching TV all night.
Then I wake up about noon. Last night I went to bed early (midnight).
I had better get off the computer and put on the corn beef. This will be a all day affair.
 
Omigosh...I underslept. Underslept? Yes. That's what happens when you're not done sleeping. Oversleeping is when you're done sleeping but don't feel like getting up.

Gotta get a wiggle on. Still cold here. 18F. Ice/sNOw expected tonight.
 
it's minis 25 here in the thumb glad for the wood stove....would like to just kick around the house and stay inside but alas Hardware-man must venture out .....even down to two days a week it is getting in the way of sitting in the chair and reading... but the time to let is not yet right, maybe soon
 
Nice photo, Holly! Your hat looks like mine.

It was very mild here but today feels quite cold. Went to the gym this morning. Good workout even though I still can't shake the cough.

I had to get a hat with a chin strap as last trip my hat blew off several times while walking down the road.

LOL!! I am the queen of typos. How did I ever make it as a secretary for years?!

Mine is white. I bought it in the US on last summer's trip and it's supposed to be very cool, but it wasn't, still made my forehead sweat. The one I had on the previous trip was woven and it made my head itch. Yes, the photo was taken in January at a temple up a very steep hill that supposedly contains a footprint of the Buddha.
 
Good Morning all....nice hats, ladies.

Looks pretty good out my window this morning, suppose to rain this weekend though.

Well I spent the day in my closet yesterday, now I have a stack of clothes that I need to get rid of....and my closet is now neat and roomy....yea:wiggle:

Thanks! I go through the house one room at a time and do what I call super-cleaning which includes re-organising. I do this at least once a year but always plan on doing it at least twice. I'm overdue. It's also time to get out the carpet shampooer. Oh what fun. :playful:
 
Slept in today - it's -20 C and I'm drinking hot tea to wake up. Was planning to go to my knitting group, but wimped out, brrr.. I think I'll do a bit of baking, a coffee cake or something. All this cold weather is driving me bananas.

That's a nice shot AS. It reminds me of some of my travels years ago. I see you have one of those lovely over-shoulder bags, so handy for day-trips.
 
Well stay in, in the nice warm toastie house cookie...jeez -20 , I would die ..:(

I've just managed to hoover the house through..it was getting on my nerves but it's so hard on my back, but it's not been vac'd for 4 days so it had to be done..

Nice photo, Ameriscot...are you the one on the left or on the right?

Our "weather event" has pretty much fizzled out. Well, actually it didn't happen and probably won't. Yawn. Cry wolf one more time...now maybe sNOw Monday night and Tuesday. Maybe not.

Siberian Express, Polar Vortex, whatever it's being called this year, I'm done. Spring can happen now. Please.

Mmm coffee cake? I'll be right over!

I bought lots of handbags in Thailand and love this one as it's quite big. By this time I was tired of carrying my big camera bag and was taking photos with my phone. Normally I carry a backpack but it made my back too sweaty here and only used it walking to the gym early morning.
 
Holly, don't make your back worse. Dirt can wait!

Georgia, you didn't know I was so tall with a mustache did you? :D

Not quite over the cough but I'm doing my upper and lower body strength routines today. Takes about 1 1/2 hours. I usually do the upper on gym day but didn't yesterday.

Might start on bedroom closet/cupboard today. I've got winter and summer clothes all mixed up.
 
Finally looked at the photos I took with my phone in Thailand. I uploaded many to Facebook and then downloaded them so I could put them on my Flickr albums. But I didn't get them all. Now I've got 573 photos to go through, delete, upload, etc. Now I'm missing Koh Samui! :(

I should be doing my workout and am seriously procrastinating. Off I go!

Pretty pictures Annie. I always end up the same when I come back from anywhere...a huge amount of photos to download and sort through, although I do sometimes manage to get them on the lappy when I'm away if I get a quiet hour or 2.

Back is hurting today ( i was up between 2.30am and 5.15.. woken with the pain) so I really need to go and walk somewhere to ease up the muscles a bit..but it looks like it's going to rain, and it's very windy and cold, so hmmm..caught between a rock and a hard place.
 
Had a PT session yesterday for 45 minutes - my rotator cuff problem is not going away but I'm determined to get rid of it. Snow due later today - dang!

AS - Here's hoping your seasonal clothes sorting goes fine. I try to keep some semblance of order in the closets but my clothes closets are always a little bit mixed up. In Spring, I do a big sorting of "stuff" and give excess to Amvets or Goodwill. Somewhere I read that if something hasn't been used for a whole year, it should be tossed. So I try to follow that idea most of the time. I have one cupboard that I call the "sad" place because it's where I keep the ashes of all my pets - the year limit doesn't apply to that cupboard.

Rob - Chewbacca's calling and wants his fur back. :D
 
Good morning from the Atlanta area where there's no sNOw, no ice, no rain, no Winter Weather Event. The TV people sound positively disappointed since they're more interested in keeping our eyeballs glued to their channel than in reporting. It's such a big non-event that they've resorted to showing pictures and videos of last week's sNOw in the Georgia mountains. Gimme a break!

Holly, my dog's people have one of those i-something mattresses. The other two clients that I dog sit for have them, too, and I want to tell you that if you don't have one, you really might want to check them out. Best night's sleep I get is when I dog sit! As soon as I can gather up enough $$, I'm going to get one. They cost a king's ransom and worth every cent just to not feel achy in the morning.

No problem with sorting out my closet. Jeans and tees for summer, jeans and sweatshirts for winter. LOL Guess nobody will ever accuse me of being a fashion plate or a clothes horse:) It wasn't always like this, but nowadays I travel light!
 
We have to take the dogs to the vet this morning for their annual checkup and shots. We'll take two vehicles, and when we leave the vet's office my wife will take the dogs home and I'll run a couple errands using her Durango. Then I'll drive out to my dad's place and visit with him for a while, and on the way home I'll swing by and fill her Durango with gas so she'll be set for a couple weeks.

If it's nice enough out this afternoon we'll probably go down to the bike trail and go walking with the dogs. I also have some work to do in the shop, and I really need to get some stuff cleaned out of a couple of cupboards in the laundry room. Then somewhere around 3:00 I'll get started on some mulligatawny soup for dinner.

I also purchased a new camera-my old one finally died. The new one is supposed to be here today so if it arrives I'll spend some time playing with it.
 
Holly, moving around a bit might help your back. Hope so. Don't know how many photos I had on my camera - at least double what's on my phone. I can easily take 1,000 very quickly.

Kathy, my winter clothes are never put away as they could be worn in August as well as February. I should do a before and after photo of our closet/cupboard to motivate me!

DoItMyself, what kind of camera did you get?
