What's on your agenda for today?

It's morning??? Again???

It's cloudy and cool (70), weather that nobody mentioned in the forecast.

There are a few little gardening chores, then laundry, pack up my stuff to take along while I dog sit this weekend. I haven't seen the dog since I retired last month. Hope he's glad to see me
 

Wifey out with her friend, garage saling,and they will be gone all day. Got the whole day to myself. Guess I'll go out for lunch, western egg sandwich sound good to me, get some fresh corn for tomorrow and stop at Weedens indoor flea market to buy a couple more t-shirts I don't need. :sentimental:
 

I've managed to get the washing done and on the line.

Then I went into the garden and chipped some weeds and put down another layer of mulch.

Prepared some vegies for making my roast chicken lunch.

Reckon I've done enough for today - it's just 10 am her in Australia where I live.
 
I'm an early riser. Usually take my dog for a walk about sunrise. this morning it was about 10 F when I took her out.

It's about 68 F right now, so not a bad sort of temperature for gardening. It's just about spring here now.

Summer does get to be a bit warm, some days hit 100 F and then I do less in the garden and hunker down with the air con on.
 
It's mid-day here, and the sun is shining and it's about 70 deg f... we're just getting ready to go out for early lunch in the pub garden by the river with a couple of friends but rain is forecast for later today and tomorrow...


Glad you're home safely Kaydee I expect you feel even colder after being in the warm sun for the last month.

88 degrees degrees at my house in Southern Spain, wish I was over there.. :cool:

It's a holiday weekend here so I'm off until Tuesday, so I've gotta make the most of it but sadly the weather isn't playing ball ..
 
Yesterday went to the rec centre that family belongs to and I did a serious weights and cardio workout then got in pool with family. Fun!

No plans for today.
 
Today we went to a little pub in the hamlet close by for lunch al fresco with some friends and then we went for a walk over the fields and woods that backs onto the pub ..and shot some pheasant...no not with guns but with the camera :D..some nice shots too...although those blighters ran really fast as soon as they heard us coming. We're having a bumper Harvest of Sloe Berries too this year and the fields are lined with sloe berry bushes so we picked a load to take home to make Sloe wine..

Holly - Are those berries used to make a drink called Sloe Gin Fizz? I remember my dad's closest friend used to make this kind of drink - I've never heard of it in years though. It was a very nice morning and all the locals were out walking with or without dog. My dog and I walked pretty far given that my foot feels so sore - if I didn't have orthotics in my shoes our walk would have been shorter. I'm getting to know my neighbor who is originally from Scotland - she has been giving me all kinds of ideas and tips about planning a Scotland trip. She has a male Shih Tzu pup named Sparky and he and my dog Suki flirt with each other! It's so fun watching them walk together - this is the first dog that Suki has ever wanted to be best pals with!

Hope everyone's day has been great thus far - I try to remember that each day is a gift (this is a big challenge in the a.m. which is peak pain time).
 
Kath, I can give you tips on where to visit depending on your interests. Where in Scotland is your neighbour from.

My PF is fine now unless I go for really long walks. So I'm doing prevention now. I still wear the boot at night, have PF slippers, and never go barefoot. Just went to a shop that specialises in PF and got some Abeo trainers and sandals.
 
Seems I forgot to post this morning. I remember reading but don't see that I posted. Blame it on the interruption of my regular schedule, k? I like spending time with one of *my* dogs, but as nice as this home is and as relaxing as it is to be here, I'd really rather be in my own place with my perfectly good kitty.

Sloe berries look like blueberries, Holly. I'm guessing that they're used to make sloe gin, as well as sloe wine.

We were threatened with all-day rain. It hasn't happened so far. If we're silly enough to believe it, we'll have all-day rain tomorrow, too.
 
Yes Kath and Georgia the Sloe berries are used to make Sloe Gin...but you can also use them to make Sloe wine..

Kath I feel fro you being in such pain it's horrid isn't it..my day was a bit spoiled today because I was in too much pain ( my back) to walk too far, and currently I have damn toothache too which is making me irritable , and I know the tooth has to be pulled it's the bottom tooth at the front (they wanted to take it out almost 3 years ago) but it calmed down again.. but now it's really giving me gyp..and I keep putting off going to the dentist..I hate it so much
 
oooohhh Holly, is there any way it can be saved? Crown? Such a shame to lose a tooth. I'm fortunate to still have all mine, but lots of repairs - crowns, root canals, veneer bonding (cosmetic). Wish you the best with whatever has to be done.
 
Ugh. That reminds me that I have an appointment with the dentist on Monday. Well, not exactly the dentist. The hygienist. I HATE having my teeth cleaned. I'm tempted to ask for gas. Yeah. I'm a wimp. So shoot me!
 
Running arround the block trying to get warm :laugh::laugh: after coming home to a 14 c day after spending a month in 26 + temptures in Queensland

Thanks for the sloe berry info, Holly. I never knew what sloe berries looked like until now.

I really empathize with your tooth issue because dentists aren't my favorite people either. I went in to get a repaired filling in a molar about 2 years ago and while the dentist was drilling he broke off a big part of my tooth, so I ended up having to get an implant. Definitely my worst dentist visit, but he sure isn't my dentist anymore! I hope everything goes as well as possible for you at the dentist!
 
Flying to Tampa today. Just in time for the tropical storm coming in down there. Will be back Thursday, hopefully. Looking like a turbulent landing at this this time.

Probably not...but maybe..I don't know tbh, I'll have to wait until I get up the courage to go..,

Kath about 15 years ago I had a dentist do exactly the same thing to me and while filling one tooth at the back broke the tooth in front right off ..it was a nightmare ,...and when i reported her to the Dental services . she'd already left the country and flown back to South Africa where she had been originally from...

Since then I have got myself a better dentist but I still absolutely hate going and put it off till the very last ..*shudder*
 
Good morning, peeps. It's raining here. Real rain. Enough rain that it will soak into the ground and actually do some good. The only downside is that *my* dog doesn't want to go out. Forecast says it should let up in a couple of hours.
 
Just hanging out with son's family. Enjoying being with them, especially granddaughters, but ready to move on to next house - brothers when hubby arrives Tuesday night.
