What's on your agenda for today?

17 year old Grandaughter showed me her new shoes for a dance date, I told her "no way are you going to be taller then me".
 

Today, I'm going to catch up on a few episodes of a series I haven't been watching because it comes on the same time as another show I watch on Wednesdays I've missed three episodes, so that's about 2-1/2 hours worth of tv kill brain cell time, but I'm thinking I might watch my movie rental I picked up from the library, "The Maze Runner." So much to contemplate. Movie or TV series or a book. hmmmmmmmm so much time, so many exciting choices and here's the phone ringing with a friend trying to talk me into a night out with one of my meetup groups. I'm not up to it, but, who knows, I might change my mind. But I'm really saving my energy for next weekend's night out.

Letting voicemail get it though, can't type and answer the phone at the same time when I don't have my voice answer set on the phone. What I really need is a nap.
 
Maybe it will be easier to make a decision after a nap, April. If not, you can always take another nap, right?

I'm binge watching House of Cards. Trouble with doing this is that when I've seen all the episodes, I'll have to wait another year to watch season 4 (if there's a season 4).

If only I really could take a nap, I am going to give it a try though, I'm feeling really tired, just difficult for me to nap most of the time unless my blood levels or somethings is off, as it might just be, so nap might happen. My brain has been off past few days. LOL. Ok, off more than usual. :D

I know how you feel about watching those shows in batches, I'm wanted to wair for a couple of series to end so I can watch them on netflix in one swoop, but, a couple of them, I know may have a couple of more years in them, so, I'll just have to deal with it, but, I'm still holding off till late spring or summer for now. I looking forward to house of cards, Game of thrones and maybe that orange show.

Well, I'm off to try for that nap first and see if it clears this foggie head up.

Hoping you and all the members have a great rest of day. Till we meet again. have fun people.
 
Today I'm exhausted from yesterday and that's because i had a security system put in the house along with new smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detection system. It took the security company nearly the whole day to rig it all up and then they had to teach me how to operate everything. That took awhile! They hooked it all up via my wireless connection so I can control everything using my iPhone. The dog was awake all day because there were strange guys in the house and her job is protecting me and the house. So today she has been catching up on her beauty sleep. Since we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow, I went to the grocery store for supplies and then put it all away which is the tiring part so now I'm joining the dog for some shuteye.

Does anyone watch Grantchester? I've been watching it for awhile now and I really like the lead actor (a very talented hunk).
 
Kath, I've tried and tried to watch Grantchester and just can't get into it:( However...Downton Abbey's season finale is tonight, and I can get into that!

We're in for a week of cloudy and rainy weather. The good part is that it's going to be warm until Friday. Yay.
 
Raining here.

I'm supposed to be doing housework but I'm catching up with all the posting that goes on while I'm sleeping and America is still awake. :D I've got some of it done, but not finished. Hubby is installing the new toilet. Lots of swearing going on.
 
We're going out in a little while ...he's up there getting tarted up...we're not going too far but I need to get out and walk to release the muscle spasms...so we'll walk somewhere then stop off at the pub and have a drink and walk back...it's gloriously sunny at the moment, but it's blowing a Gale..and it's freeezing so we'll have to wrap up...might take my camera with me...and get a few photies depending where we end up.
 
Hi to all! Georgia, it's true that Grantchester is a bit difficult to get the mind around but I watch it because of the cute actor hunk and also because it's on right after Downton Abbey which I love to bits! My favorite person on Downton is Maggie Smith but really like the whole cast.

HD - I think a walk really helps when the lower back hurts. When I walk with the dog, sometimes I'm not much aware of the pain. Pain is really the worst when I first wake up in the morning. We are supposed to have either snow or sleet every day this week which more or less makes me housebound! A friend and neighbor of mine up the street passed away yesterday so I'm trying to catch a ride to the service from another neighbor. This occurrence is the major downside of living in a 55+ community.

Season 4 is already on Netflix, I watched it last night.
 
Kath I'm sorry to hear you lost a friend and neighbour so recently..I hope you managed to get a ride for the service.

Yes you're so right, I;m the same as you, my back is worse in the mornings..sometimes I can't get out of bed, ..and also if I sit around a ,lot it's worse. Walking definitely eases it. We went out to lunch at a pub a few villages away..and had a 2 mile walk along the bridlepath from one village to another then had some lunch then drove back nearer home to the local lakes and ... it was sunny but it was verrrry cold and windy..but here's a few photos of our local area and where we were today ..

This is the ruins of an old church opposite the pub in the village..the church was built in the 12th century , but became a ruin in the 19th century..

This is the lake we walked around which takes about 45 minutes at a smart pace..

Thanks AS ...it was verrry cold and as the village is very rural and muddy at this time of the year everyone goes in their wax jackets and wellies...and there's a sign on the door telling everyone to remove their boots in the hallway as you go in..it's a very old traditional pub circa 14 century with a big open log fire which was lit today making it very cosy and warm inside . Low oak beams means you have to duck indoors if you're fairly tall..it's also a B&B...


here's the link to the history and the photos of the interior..

You love the lead actor in Grantchester b c he looks somewhat like a younger Robert Redford. I, also, love Grantchester which ended last weekend. I hope it comes back. I wept during Downton tonight. We
have to wait until Jan 1016 to get our next fix.
 
Skipping the gym today as we are going across the water to Greenock to buy a sink, wall cabinet and loo roll holder for the new bathroom. Toilet is installed and working.

Yesterday I joined Amazon Prime because I've learned the series Outlander which was filmed here is finally going to be shown through Amazon. 80 other countries got it before us.
 
Good morning! Foggy, rainy and finally warmer here.

Ameriscot, did you learn any new cuss words during the installation of the new toilet? LOL

I don't have to work today. Tomorrow it's back to the regularly-scheduled scrubbing/dusting/mopping/vacuuming, but this is today, and I'm going to enjoy it.

So glad that we're finally (I hope!) done with that silly Bates/Anna story line on Downton Abbey. It looks like Lady Mary has found her next love interest (or victim, whichever).

I do like the Grantchester guy but to me he doesn't look like Redford. I'll miss the show while it's on hiatus. Same goes for Outlander which returns in April - I like this one because it's a terrific way to learn Scottish history, plus (with a capital P) I'm crazy about Sam Heughan (aka Jamie). I was in complete tears during Downton's last episode - it was beautifully done!

Drooling! :love_heart: It's finally coming to the UK! Although I have managed to see the first 8 episodes elsewhere.
 
Another rainy day here. In other places, it's "April showers bring May flowers". Here it's March-brings-April. We hope:)

Off to clean a very dark house today. I just don't understand why anybody would prefer living in a house that's as dark as a cave. Oh, well, different strokes and all that...

Y'all have a great day!
 
Have a good day yourself Georgia..hope it's not too dark in there, I have to admit I love lots and lots of light in my house..the bigger the windows the better..I really need bigger windows in mine


Later this afternoon I'm back at the hospital to see another consultant about yet another procedure..*sigh* ...not looking forward to it I have to admit...but it has to be done, so just gotta grit my teeth and go.

At least the sun is shining :D
 
Went to the dentist this morning for a cleaning. Our plans were to go into Glasgow afterwards and meet up with our Ugandan daughter. But we've had lots of snow dumped on us and the roads are a mess. Plus the ferry was off and the trains aren't running on time. We could have taken the bus over which goes on the other ferry but just decided, nope. Disappointed. I had all the stuff we bought her in Thailand that I was going to give to her. Also picked up 2 boxes of ginger biscuits to give her, and this means they are in my house, calling my name. Not good.

So husband is working on the bathroom again. Lots of swearing due to the new sink and dripping.
