What's on your agenda for today?

I always fall asleep Annie, well not quite sleep, but so relaxed I couldn't lift a finger. Funnily enough I used to specialise in deep tissue massage, its good for pain relief when acupressure points are used. I still do it occasionally on friends and family, but am too weak and past it, to give a full hour massage these days :eek:ld:

A good massage is pure ecstasy! I haven't fallen asleep but very close. I can't handle the full body Thai massages, they are just too rough. The foot and calf massages are good though. I've had massages where my legs are bruised.
 

Took hubby to the ferry as he needs to go into the city, then did grocery shopping. Sunshine!! A bit breezy and cool - about 10c/50f. Doing some deep cleaning today and starting on the carpet shampooing. Fun fun fun.

Keeping an eye on the polls as we have a general election coming up May 7th. We vote by mail and posted it the day after we got it. No telling what is going to happen - another coalition government (two parties are sort of married) - as no party is going to get a majority - again.
 
Flying to the Big Apple to pick up one of the Senior Vice Presidents and his cronies. I guess they will be half loaded for the flight home, which is a good thing. They will be sleeping it off. There appears to be a small storm cell headed our way later today, so we will try to coincide our flight with missing that little distraction. This is a short trip and that means we will be flying at about 22,000 feet and flying time should be just under an hour. I'll know better after I do the flight plan and get a current check on the weather.

Hope you can avoid the storm, Oldman!
 
Thanks, AS. We do what we can. I hope to avoid all storms in any aircraft that I fly or am a passenger in. This is a wide cell that is approaching from the west, so trying to flying around it is not an option. I need to find out how high the top is and maybe we can fly over it, otherwise, we will try to avoid it altogether, by either waiting it out or beating it before it gets to us, which seems unlikely as of now.

Crossing my fingers you can totally avoid it. Enjoy your flight.

So many people seem to think that all pilots need to know is how to take off and land and what all the buttons are for! But you really need to be an expert on aerodynamics, meteorology, etc etc. My next door neighbour was a pilot and his stories are interesting.
 
I'm going to talk to a neighborhood woman about setting up and running a garage sale for me. I've been told she has a lot of experience with this sort of thing and it's definitely not my area of expertise. I will be so happy when all this downsizing is over and my life is totally clutter free.

I can empathize with you about clutter, Josiah. I have a number of areas in our basement that are pretty filled with stuff but I'm trying to sell it or give it away. Got tons of workshop tools but it's hard for me to sell things if I don't know what they are called or what their purpose is. Hope you have a successful decluttering!

Oldman - Have a very safe flight!

Josh, you've probably already looked into this but would it make sense tax-wise to just give a lot of stuff to charity and be done with it? Less hassle?
 
Good Morning everyone. I think I've turned the corner with this wretched cold and I'm feeling victorious! :) This morning I'm having brunch with a friend at a little ma and pa hole-in-the-wall restaurant that we like. Then maybe a little shopping. This evening I'm having dinner with a ladies group I belong to. There are a total of 16 members. Usually 12 to 14 attend and we have an event each month. I'm not crazy about the choice of restaurant for dinner. It's a huge place with music blaring so loud you have to shout to have a conversation with the person next to you. Well, the food is supposed to be good and it will be great to see my friends. I hope everyone has a splendid day! :eek:nthego:

Glad you're feeling better. Your day and evening sounds nice! I'm not crazy about places where the music is so loud you can't have a conversation though. At least the food will be good. :)
 
Letter from Bratislava

Thanks for all the good wishes, flight arrived 30 minutes early, a 5 minute walk across the fields to the Aviator Hotel and I am now all tucked up in bed ready to watch a movie on Netflix, Looking forward to meeting Lisa tomorrow. Catch up with you all again soon.
 
Hi, kids. I forgot to post this morning. Oops.

Now I'm home and tired, but fed and comfy. One more work day this week...

On Saturday my son and I have been invited to an event "Dressing Downton" where a friend of ours is speaking and displaying clothes of the era and replicas of Downton constumes. Tickets are bit spendy, but we're going as her guests. Includes tea. Yippee!
 
How wonderful, Georgia. I love the gardens and conservatory at the Biltmore House....and, the Downton collection on top of it ! ! ! Enjoy...
 
Catching up on washing clothes today after being away for a couple of days escape with my friend , it was really nice just to have a couple of days with my friend of 30 years and leave hubby home :cool1:

I woke up and was still alive...the birds were singing, sun trying to come out and my gopher turtle friend was waiting by my front porch...for his dried cranberries...so all is well with my world today, thank you. How are you Shalimar, what wonderful activity are you involved in today?

Enjoy your time in Russia, Melvin. Lots of pictures please?
 
Now that spring is here we've been incredibly busy. The garden takes a lot of work this time of year, as does the yard. We're building a new garden shed to hold some of the equipment, and we have some work to do at the lake house. Hopefully by Memorial day we'll have all of our projects wrapped up and be able to start relaxing.
Tomorrow we're going up to the lake house and spend the weekend working on the driveway and landscaping. My tractor is loaded up on the trailer, hitched to the truck, and ready head out and go to work.
 
Hi, Nona, your turtle sounds sweet. Do you have any pics? I love dried cranberries too. Pleased that all is well with you. Today is a quiet day for me, due to bruises. Tomorrow I am going to lead a little meditation in the park by the river, weather permitting. I am a little shy about it. Lol.

Thanks Nona but I am in Slovakia this time, meeting Lisa later this morning, who is flying here from Russia.
Good to hear you are still alive and enjoying the birdsong. Have a good day, or is it night now:confused:
