Late afternoon here, just sitting down for a minute. Busy doing whatever today & prepping for the big storm approaching tomorrow & Monday. Looks like the east coast is going to take a hard hit. Thinking of Byrdie of course.
Hit the stores earlier for necessities & now baking a big Tuscan chicken & orzo casserole that should hold us over for a few days. Fun times as always.

Mick, I remember Oct. ‘79 because I had a busy 3 yr old on my hands, LOL nothing else going on this weekend, just getting thru the storms on the way. Hope yuo were able to get some pics. PQ did contact me on WhatsApp yesterday, now we need to get the others on.

Have a good night all!

MAE ALL...late check in for me too. Out this morning the get the fixing for a chicken dinner for tonight (I refuse to cook a turnkey) and then homemade chicken soup for tomorrow and Monday as our storm is rolling in as I type and we're under a snowfall warning!! Still figuring out WhatsApp, can't get my name to show instead of my phone number. Oh well, will figure it out. I think it'll be easier for the others to join the group than try to connect individually, but what do I know, still learning. Will check in tomorrow either way. Have a good night...PPQP

Good afternoon everyone!
We have clouds & it’s been windy but the real storm effects will be tonight into tomorrow. I’m wondering how messed up the air flights are going to be due to weather, & government shutdown limiting the number of TSA & flight controllers working. Hope it gets caught up by Wednesday evening when we are due to go.

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow PQ! I roasted a turkey breast this morning. In your honor, haha!! We eat them a lot.
Guess I could try putting together a group chat using your phone # - might work. I’ll look at that later. Hope your weather is kind to you.

Mick, remember RICE for your foot - rest, ice, compression, elevation. Sorry it takes so long to heal these things.
I still have a ton of stuff to clear out of my gardens before it really gets cold. I kinda got thrown off with the muscle pull stuff last month. I’ll get to it eventually. Glad Julie gets good play time with Eloise.

Hello to Pie & Cyn. Please check in.

Have a nice night all!

And good afternoon to everyone how are we doing today then? Hope everyone is doing okay who stop Julie is over at Amy's babysitting for Eloise she left this morning at 6:30 a.m. when she suddenly told me that the oil delivery might be here today or tomorrow that's scotched my plans up completely. So instead I've done a little bit in the garden cleaned some bricks knocked the other wall down cleared it up then made a bit more on my path in the wildlife garden and also painted the fence Green. I then manage to fix my table saw which is good. I use it quite a lot and didn't really want to replace it so a piece of plastic drain pipe cut and made to fit now does the job. I'm trying to talk to text this but it isn't working obviously it doesn't understand the Scots accent. I end up typing most of it again anyway really foggy again this morning and it hasn't cleared yet it is now 12 15. The rest of the day is settle down time.
hiya lav how are you doing today then? Has the winds died down? Hope it settles down for Wednesday for you. I take it your packed and ready to go? Really enjoy yourself don't know if it still applies but I remember looking at the plane window before we landed and saw a couple of live volcanoes.
Hiya ppqp how are you today then I didn't realize that it was your Thanksgiving have a good time whatever you do.

Hiya everyone else hope you are doing okay
