Something About Nothing............ #14

Quick morning stop in!!!!

Busy day at work. My casual gal has formally received another offer in another department - so that means I'm back to training ANOTHER new person. Hopefully soon our manager can officially hire another permanent admin to help me. The casuals are not working out. And we need them more than " casually" we need them as almost a full-time employee. Oh well, not my worry.

Been busy. our weekend was somewhat busy. I tidied, cleaned and baked on Saturday. Sunday was grocery shopping and then I whipped up roast chicken for the whole family. It was nice to have everyone together for a meal.

We have booked our hot holiday. Heading to the Cancun area again for a week of laying by the pool/beach, and bellying up to the buffet or a la carte for dinners. I am looking forward to it.

Weather has been menopausal. It's cold again, but we didn't get the snow that was forecasted - thankfully!


Looks like you are having a great vacation!!!!!


Sounds like a great way to spend a cold foggy day. When that cold hits - we lizards tend to want to stay inside and not move. I need to spend some time organizing and purging again. I did see a video about organizing/purging that has me more motivated to do more of it. Especially since we are now home more often now that dd and their family are living here. We are not travelling so much anymore.

Well, I should go. I need to get some on-boarding stuff done for the new casual starting.

Have a great day everyone!

Hopefully the next person will last a little longer, you definitely need someone reliable and constant!!

How fabulous you have your trip to the sunshine booked!!! I can imagine how ready you are for it. When do you go?

I love spending time sorting things out around the house on dull and dreary days, but give me fog and I want to go walking in it, I`m odd apparently!!




Obligatory castle photo.

Lovely picture.




Another freezing cold day here, we are barely above 1c here in real feel, far too cold for this one here, I`m going to hibernate although I am out tonight at our salsa dance class, will be well wrapped up for that. J is picking me up tonight, we take turns driving each other there and back.

This afternoon is catching up with some friends on the phone, get a load of washing dried and make dinner later, making pulled pork and having that on brioche buns, Tom`s choice tonight, so will make some coleslaw to go with them and salad, just what you want on a freezing cold day.

Sun is shining though which helps!!

Salon appointment tomorrow.....ready for that one!!

Have a lovely Wednesday!!!

Sorry it’s a little tilted.
You can see Tinkerbelle at the top of the castle.

I like the tilt! And eating around anywhere sounds nice.





It is still absolutely baltic here tonight and heavy rain, we came out from the salsa class and the car park was overflowing, but heck it`s cold!

Salsa was fun, we did the Tango and Rumba as well as a few others tonight, by goodness my hips are groaning again! But, can`t wait till next week.

Had a shower, going to watch a movie in bed I think, no need to get up early as my hair appointment isn`t till 10am, getting some waxing done too and Indian head massage, so it`ll be a nice all round pampering session!

Hot chocolate before bed I think, I never drink tea at this time of night, but feel like something sweet 😊
 
l got a glitch today and verified my posts are not going through correctly

it’s driving me nuts
i don’t like it when it happens

I had an issue for a time where I was about to post and it disappeared, but I think it might have been my laptop as it`s fixed now. But it is frustrating when when you write a long post and it vanishes!!




Hopefully today is the last of the miserable cold weather that has been our misfortune to be enjoying last few days, tomorrow looks much better and the weekend itself looks decent which will be nice for travelling up to Scotland.

Hair all fresh and new again, didn`t get a lot off this time but it`s still fairly short compared to what it was this time last year before I had it all chopped off, it does sit nicely on my shoulders. Made my pre trip appointment when I was in too as she does get busy.

Back home to a late lunch and wondering if I`ll be ready for dinner! Only planning to have roast salmon, so it could do for lunch tomorrow if we don`t feel hungry. Just finished a slice of lemon cake I made yesterday and the 84th cup of tea of the day, maybe not, but it just feels like it!!

Happy Thursday :goodvibes

Schumi, lemon cake is always great for me.
Save me a slice next time…

lol...wish we`d sent you a piece over, we ate far too much of it, but it was so good, the drizzle was very lemony but sweet at the same time!!

Definitely don`t need dinner now 🥴




We have some dark, dark clouds coming in from the sea as I look out the window, looks ominous. Should be a little rain tomorrow morning then clear, hopefully. Need to get rid of this cold weather though, we`ve had enough now!
 
Howdy all. Another beautiful day in a string of them, we were overdue.

Got all my upcoming bills set up for pmt for next two months. Won’t be feeling doing that, as my long postponed surgery is set for next Friday.

Can’t squirm out of it any longer, dam it. Was hoping for tomorrow but, the woman booked for it (who was supposed to cancel) wound up getting her pre op approved. I’ll say the right thing, good for her ;) .

The mr is ‘rewarding me’ by taking me out to dinner, I picked Texas Roadhouse a good hour drive. Looking forward to a big ‘ole steak. Maybe a bit of shopping there if I’m really good, as it’s near the only Kohls in our area.

AJ - need to pick your brain a bit re Jacksonville.

Was considering surprising the GD and driving up to the Bucees in Daytona (don’t ask she’s been begging for two years, stupid instagram lol). Thot since driving that far from MCO, why not just stay 2 nights @ the beach? Yes, any excuse will do for me to get my toes in the sand.

We don’t like Daytona’s drive on beaches, have done Ormond beach. Was wondering what sort of beach/hotels-resorts there might be between there & Jacksonsville? Any idea?

The mr was stationed there back in the day, said the beaches were really nice but, they just did liberty visits to closest ones…no idea if any tourist beach front areas.

Lynne - sounds like fun, you are lucky to be so close to NYC. what BW shows do u have in mind? Looks like you might get whalloped by another storm coming up the coast this weekend.
I’m going to miss the Muppets.
Oh so much here too! My GD & DiL sneaking down next weekend for a last minute 3 night spring break trip to say goodbye.
Oh this was the fog on the beach the other day, glad that has gone, it comes in so quickly when it does hit us.
Eek, the fog, run away. There’s monsters in there, somewhere.

My theory is when you are really good at training, that becomes your unofficial job.
We have booked our hot holiday. Heading to the Cancun area again for a week of laying by the pool/beach, and bellying up to the buffet or a la carte for dinners. I am looking forward to it.
Woohoo, have fun! When are you heading out?

We call our visits to Cancun ‘land cruising’ lol. We actually do the Riviera Maya, a bit south. We like the Valentin Imperial, area more sedate, adult only (yea!) and closer to the Mayan sites we like to visit a day or two each trip.
Salon appointment tomorrow.....ready for that one!!
Good for you, enjoy!
Some people go to EPCOT to drink around the world. We are eating around the world.
We prefer the best of both worlds. Typically, one & done adult beverage due to heat

Might need to clear your cookies.
 
Of course my last post was after Janet stopped in today.

Yes, cookies were cleared.

Hope all goes smoothly for you on next Friday Janet!
