MAE ALL...

The city is doing payment rehabilitation and there is equipment everywhere, you really have to be careful driving to work. LOL

Mick...what, it's raining! The first think I heard on the news when I left work was it's going to cost you more for gas than it did this morning. I just thought great, guess where I was headed. I never let my tank get below 1/2 and I always put in $30 worth and don't worry about how much gas I get. I do very little driving so it's definitely not as frustrating as trying to buy food! If I remember correctly I think you guys are heading out again this weekend?

TG...we knew you were off to the graduation and dog sitting, but painting is a new one. Who knew you were an artist as well. If you can snap a pic for us. Sounds like quite the "French dessert" party. When I was drinking I never cared for sweets but not anymore. Nothing happening at the community centre this weekend but I will be there next Saturday as we're doing a community wide garage sale and I have a few tables that will be set up in the hall. Who knows may find some little treasures.

Lav...hope your weather breaks soon. Was the watermelon the ones you grew? I bet the new chicks were thrilled, what a treat. Glad your grand daughter is doing ok and get back to school, not many days left now. Yup, I still wear my mask when I'm out in public or around other people. It will take me some time to get out of that habit. I spent the day working on programs and got a lot accomplished. Only one interruption from a customer and 2 dumb questions from the accountant. Contrary to the saying there are dumb questions. LOL Tomorrow I need to spend some time event rentals and get them caught up. Boss is off Thursday and Friday so no surprises expected.

Waves to Pauly, Det and Sam. Have a good night all....PPQP

Hiya teegee how are you today?I see you are still mad busy
If there's anything of interest and I take the pictures..Will post them up if there is

Hiya lav how are you?glad gd is ok.the holidays scenario over here is crazy..the airlines laid lots of staff off,and now they can't replace them.I have a friend who is cabin crew, and the wages they get are pretty poor. But the waiting and cancellation times are pretty brutal. So glad I got the van.

Hiya ppqp..no rain today. How's you then?hope you are doing good. Well mate, this is year 10 for us..who would have thought. I worked it out.. on a rough basis I have saved in the region of £16.5k.not actually saved but spent elsewhere..hope you have a good day

Big hello to everyone else..

Good evening friends,

Yep, I definitively spent my wine & smoke savings on the grandkids - worked out great for all of us
Mick if you’re done with that rain I’ll gladly take it as long as it brings some cooler air. 90+ today & super humid, ugh. I don’t even know if I want to fly again. Everything is so messed up now. I’ll stay. Open to the idea though, you never know.

PQ, I am feeding the chickens Walmart watermelons (direct from Mexico) I believe. The 2 plants YB planted a week ago - one is already gone thanks to the never ending bunny buffet we seem to provide. Vicious little thieves, haha! I should go look & see if I can find another plant or two. Masking up in a crowd is smart & I will continue to do that. I have to fight & argue with YB telling him his stubborness could be fatal. DUH! I have to agree with you - yes there are dumb questions & they’re usually asked by people to lazy to think things thru.

Cyn, hope your day was easy!

Hello to Pauly, Det & Sam.

I hope everyone has a nice night!
Btw - I heard the Elvis wedding chapel in LasVegas has received a cease & desist order, no more weddings using the Elvis logo. What is Vegas going to do???

MAE ALL...

Nice quiet day and I managed to get a lot of things off my to do list. Boss off for the next 2 days so that's a bonus. Will start my day tomorrow with a CT scan. They're monitoring a spot on my lung they discovered last year. It's not cancer but I couldn't begin to explain what it is.

Mick...nice that you had a rain free day and I hope it continues for your trip this weekend. I can't believe it's been 10 years! Hopefully I'll get there with the no smoking. Quit date is June 15th.

Lav...I heard today that we are expected to have record heat 98F mid July through mid August and then record snow fall in September!!! What is that all about. Thinking it's a good thing I didn't bother with a garden plot this year. LOL Flying is definitely not on my radar any time soon. I didn't think your watermelon would be ready. Has Mick's peskies been visiting? I continue to mask but I'm noticed that more and more people aren't. I agree with you, the dumb questions are from lazy people. Wow, after all these years and now no Elvis weddings???

Thinking of everyone else. Have a good night all....PPQP

[Mick]

Hiya all how are we then..well today is the start of the jubilee weekend..and what a weekend start..spent this morning in the emergencies vet with jeeves..same as before..and same results..as we speak he is doing ok,but I have to give him meds 3 times a day.so we are back to original plan..go away on Saturday. Its a lovely day over here today

Hiya ppqp..hope all went well earlier with the ct scan..yes 10th year..time flies..hope you have a good weekend.

Hiya lav how's things over there in Lancaster mk2..hope all is well. I'm all shook up about the elvis weddings..no more crying in the Chapel.. ok ok..
Yes I agree about the masking up..we aren't out of it yet..take care and have a good weekend.

Big hello to everyone else

Good evening friends,

Hot & humid until dinnertime when the skies opened & poured rain, relief!!
In my mind it was Friday all morning but something caught my attention around noon & I realized it’s Thursday, haha! See what happens when you stop going to work, geez!

PQ, sounds like you’ll be ready for a big snowfall in September after all that summer heat, ugh! I hope the forecast is wrong & you get something better. This heat messes me up, haven’t slept right the past 3 or 4 nights even though we have the AC. I guess I’ve just gotten way too sensitive to it I guess. If it isn’t the bunnies tearing up our garden it’s the groundhogs & they really tear things up badly. I’m happier just buying the Amish grown produce, I don’t feel the need to grow veggies. I prefer growing flowers
Keeping my fingers crossed for you re the CT scan.

Mick, sorry Jeeves is unwell again. Hope he perks up so you can take off on your trip without worry.
I heard a news report that the queen was experiencing some ‘discomfort’. Hope she’s OK for the celebration.

Cyn, hello!

Pauly, Det & Sam, hello as well.

Have a nice night all!

Mae all -

Quick post from a worn-out Cindy. I’ll take a pic of these 100-year-old glass partitioned window set that I cleaned, primed, And have 2 top costs of high-gloss enamel. A lot of ladder time!!! But they do look good, I hope my niece and family will be happy...

Yesterday I heard from my step-daughter in Napa that she was under an evacuation watch. She is upper management for a healthcare concern in eastern CA... and she said that there were “multiple instances” of people going crazy and shouting about shooting someone... she is in an office with a door, but Is very worried about her staff... there is a guard there, but unarmed. I just can’t believe it has come to this... that copy-cat craziness might start to rule our lives... poor thing,I am worried for her...

Mick, so sorry to hear about Jeeves! Hope he’s up and about soon. Lav, dear me, too much heat dnd humidity- so nice of you to bring the Girls a watermelon treat. PPQ, thinking of you, and hoping you get only good news.
Hello to all dropping by - cheers to Pauly, Sam, and Det...
May all be well-
TG

MAE ALL...

TG...would love to see the work you did on the windows, they sound fantastic and I'm sure the family will be over the moon. So sorry about what's going on with your step-daughter, and the thought that copy-cat craziness might start to rule our lives is very scary. She's in my prayers. Thanks for your thoughts but I'm not really worried about the CT results, it's more of a keep an eye on it, and to be honest they only monitor this lung spot in people who smoke. Fingers crossed by June 15th that'll change.

Lav...you remind me of when I took Friday off and thought it was Saturday. Happens even when you do work. LOL Now I just have to figure out what month it is. I find it hard to sleep when the AC is running. I don't mind the boys running it during the day to keep the house cool but I usually shut it off at night. I mean really, I do live in Canada.

Mick...aw, not another emergency vet visit. This must be really hard on Jeeves let alone you. I hope going back to the original plan works and that you and Julie can get away worry free. I am definitely not available for ANYTHING this weekend work wise. Phone will be off and people can just figure out who the actual boss is. Had a great afternoon playing bridge, did a bit of work afterwards since I was the only one there and then left early.

It's been a long day for me but wanted to post before heading to bed & book. Have a restful evening all....PPQP

Hello and how are we today then? Hope everyone is doing well well. I am doing this on my phone so please excuse any mistakes, it is the phone's fault and it definitely not operator error! Jeeves is doing a lot better this morning, I don't know what it is with him but his sugars glucose everything else are normal the only thing that was wrong with him yesterday morning at the vets it's was that he was too cold to take a temperature from no bearing in mind he lives in a hutch full of hair inside the garage I don't know where that comes from. But eventually when they did check him he was ok I gave him medication last night and this morning and he is doing good so good in fact you wouldn't think there was anything wrong with him at all! So fingers crossed we will be away tomorrow full stop in actual fact in a way I'm pleased we didn't go today, listening to the traffic reports they are horrendous. One thing is funny 1 of the medicines I have to give Jeeves he absolutely hates colour I put the syringe down and Bonnie picked it up and started chewing it. It was raining this morning, and there are a lot of street parties scheduled for today so hopefully the rain will stay off hope everyone is doing ok over there, apologies for the length of this post but me and this phone aren't exactly the best of bedfellows when it comes to understanding each other. Take care and have a great weekend

Greetings friends,

Glad to report yesterday’s storms did the trick & we had a beautiful & comfy day here, yay! It’s supposed to stay nice like this for a week, so they say haha!
Nothing real special happening here & that’s fine with me. Granddaughter was happy to return to school today, one more week & all the grandkids are done for the summer.

Cyn, I’ll just bet that window looks gorgeous now, nice job
Sorry your step-daughter is working scared, it just shouldn’t be like this. I’m reading about teachers & nurses all over the country quitting their jobs after a horrendous week of mass shootings. We need more & stronger Democrats to push gun legislation thru Congress to stop this nonsense. Hope your weekend is good.

PQ, I finally slept last night but I had the central air AND the ceiling fan on, LOL. Can’t sleep when you’re sweating, right???
I hope your weekend is all yours so you can do what you want to do

Mick, glad to hear Jeeves is better. He sure keeps you on your toes!
I hope your trip goes smoothly & the weather cooperates too. I imagine you’ll be taking a few more pics to share with us. Have fun & be safe

Hello to Pauly, Det & Sam.

Have a nice night all!
