What's on your agenda for today?

Glinda, perhaps if you paid Ralphy in brownies, he would be your houseboy and spring clean for you. Make him wear a little old-fashioned bellboy outfit, complete with pillbox hat. Charming. Don't you think? Lol.

That does it - brownies it is! Now, Ralphy, just put on these little velvet shorts with the lace ruffle and tie this pink ribbon around your neck. Isn't that what old-fashioned bellboys wore?
 

But could the others hold a candle to Ralphy's bellboy ability?

Glinda, Ralphy is in a class of his own. Perhaps he could train the others, say in grovelling 101, for starters? I think we should make him wear silk shorts in the summer.

This is getting better by the minute . . . and all because I chose brownies! :)
 
Evening everyone..

It's been a glorious Easter holiday Monday here today..not hot but warm enough to dispense with out coats at last ..;):cool:

The first day I've managed to go out properly since my back surgery, so we went to a riverside pub for lunch then took a walk along the towpath about 2 miles to the next pub and had desert sitting in the sun, then walked 2 miles back to the car ....gorgeous...I was like a canary escaped from it's cage, I'd been suffering from such cabin fever for days and days...so I feel tired but regenerated now..and although the physical pain is bad, I'm singing like a little free birdie.. :D


Here are the pubs 2 miles apart but both situated on the riverbank

Lovely. It has turned into a nice day here, too. The threatened rain is holding off until rush hour, but it won't affect me since I won't be in traffic:)

There wasn't anything much to do while dog sitting today because my dog would rather run around the back yard by himself than play with me, so I decided I wouldn't really clean the house. I dusted then sort of rearranged the dirt:) After all, I'll be here next week to clean it, right? I can take a clean mess or neat dirt, just not messy and dirty at the same time. Now my dog's peeps will come home to neat dirt.
 
Great you had a nice outing at last holly, after being cooped up for so long. Nice pictures of the pubs too. Looks like fun. We're finally getting some decent weather here, sunny and a bit warmer. I can see a mist of green starting on the otherwise brown grass outside.
 
Holly - I'm glad you had a super great day to celebrate being uncaged! Your pictures are wonderful - so like the England I remember and dream about all the time. Does the stream in the pictures have a name? I reminds me of a stream side inn I lunched at once in Devon - there were two peacocks there, one was actually a peahen - I took photos of the male fanning out his gorgeous tale so I would keep away from his woman!

It was actually warm enough here today to just need a sweater when going outdoors and there were some ducks on the pond so that means the good weather may stick around for awhile at least.
 
Morning Kath,

I'm pleased the photos remind you of your trips to England..but I had to laugh at ''stream''..it may be a small stream in the USA..lol:D:rofl1:..bit it's the Grand Union Canal here..

This is a stream... (in fact this very one I took yesterday, )... behind the first pub in the picture ..it's an archetypal Babbling brook..only about 15 feet wide..

The Inns and pubs that sit near the water are called Riverside or Canal side pubs...:D

Wil you ever be able to visit the UK again...sounds like you absolutely loved it here :D

BTW in the park close to where I have a home in Spain, Peacocks run free...and they are a sight to behold...no-one disturbs them at all...they are beautiful birds dontchathink?
 
Afternoon All , Almost 5 pm here Nice photos Holly . ...Cold here today 16c ,nothing really exciting ,have only been out to get a yearly eye test, I have plaque growing under one of my cataract lenses ,have to go to Adelaide to see specialist who did cataracts to have lazer but not till next month. It's Tuesday here almost forgot to bin out kept thinking it was Monday ...
 
Still sniffling, so hanging out at home. The postman will be bringing me my new coloured pencils and a colouring book for grownups!

I'll get on my exercise bike for a while. Better than nothing.
 
Morning Kay.:D..the plaque in the cataract lens sounds horrible, does it make your eyesight blurry? Is it easily fixed with the laser treatment?

It's another beautiful Sunny morning, my back is aching, overdone it yesterday obviously, so I'm going to stay home and rest it because I'm back to work tomorrow..
 
Thanks, Holly. I've ordered the best selling one as I can see the free mandala pics I printed will get boring. Article in the Guardian on these yesterday.

Hi holly I have felt my left eye was not as good for looking at things without glasses , I believe it can be corrected with laser, OK , not really looking forward to it have really sensitive eyes, the test I had today involved having several lots of drops (diabetic eye tests ) even tho doctors say I no longer have it still treated as a diabetec and have all sorts of tests once a year .
