Janet!
Thanks for the tour of your hotel stays.

The rooms are stunning!
Very impressive !

I am turning green…..

Hotel hopping trip is winding up swell. Pixie dusted after chatting up check in staff = comp upgrade 2BR

Looks very nice. How many hotels did you stay at?

Nothing worse than a jobsworth to bring out the ultra polite language and tone in one, but never rude or curse.....nothing worse than hearing that.

I had to look up that word.

Quiet night tonight. Dh is watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. I’m going to try to assemble my new cross stitch scroll frame.

I am a base ball fan and still watching tonight’s game.

You know I have never watched a Baseball game in my life! But then I`m not the biggest sports fan anyway unless it involves sports cars/driving. Everyone assumes all Brits love football (UK football) but, nope....bores me to tears, even Tom isn`t a fan thank goodness. Hope you enjoyed it anyway.






25mph winds mixed with sun and drizzle this morning and cool, very cool. No plans to go out till lunchtime when we meet some friends for lunch, usual Wednesday meet up, nice little pub that we all like.

And apart from that, absolutely nothing going on today. Will potter about the house this morning doing little jobs and tidying anything that needs tidying. Study door will remain closed as we are sotirng some boxes from the attics in there till after the roof gets done, it looks so untidy!

Light breakfast of fruit and a croissant, tea of course. We are lucky here with our tap water, it is very nice and perfect for tea and regular drinking, some areas around the UK don`t have the best drinking water, but ours is very nice.

Have a lovely Wednesday

Ah, thought DH was just going to use the bathroom, and was coming back to bed. What? Alarm already on? Whoops. Time to get moving. Rarely see anyone when I first pull out. What? Have to wait for four cars to pass before I can turn from my cul de sac. But then, no one around until I got closer to the main road into the city. As going to the light to turn on it, car in front of me, does a tap on the brakes, and a quick move to the left then back again. I was like, what? Ah as I came in back of him, saw the butt of a teenage deer. Ooh. Glad they kept on going instead of coming back as I passed. Then, wow, a huge line to get in. But quick enough in, then got my favorite parking spot, and didn’t even feel the light rain I had to use my wipers every so often for. And then back to routine week day I have been. And still oh so dark. But at least 53 says my phone. Warner, but rain chances today. 70 the high, so carrying out my jacket again when I leave.

But who do I see as I take a break for a few minutes?



Ah, camel must be with Keisha, needing those sunglasses, on a hot enough day. And, camel reminder today, given get over this hump of day feeling, then that Fabulous Friday feeling pay pay for me, will be a day away. Woot!

Sigh. One more day of this commuting, then thankfully, not until 5 more days before I have to do it again next week.

Yay, Charade’s trip is ever then close now. Weekend fun for her. Woot!

Time for more tea, as office does feel a little cool. Did wear a short sleeve blouse, so may put on that lightweight sweater coat I keep in the office.

Almost dawn break. See light on the horizon. Did brighten the picture. And still dirty enough window. Lights on in my office.

And yes, see all those clouds.

Time to wish all a Wonderful Wednesday today.

Weather. 70 the high. Yay. Given the high tomorrow is 59. I know, no jacket put away yet. But do see an 86 predicted high in that 10 day forecast. I hope it gets that hot more often as we slide into May next week.

Okay! Okay! I’m awake.
I woke up too early again so I thought I would try to go back to sleep for a little while in my recliner. I was almost asleep when I heard a crash. Like something had been pushed off a table. My first thought was Caspian, but he is asleep on the back of the sofa. I went to explore and found a small plastic storage box had fallen off a shelf in the bedroom closet. Thankfully nothing in the box was breakable.

Braves?

lol.....I forget we have some different words for things at times.

Y’all have some great words that we don’t use here. One of my favorite words (I learned from reading Harry Potter) is snogging.

I guess now that I’m good and awake I should start getting ready for work. I’m another day closer.

 

[macraven]

you mean there is another team?
Braves?

just teasing…

lol......snogging isn`t a word commonly used over there? Nothing nicer than a good old snog with my husband

I do love the differences in our language at times.

Your countdown is coming down fast!!!





It is so darn cold here right now, coldest April I can remember for the longest time.

Met our friends for lunch, there were 9 of us today, I knew immediately when my closest friend mouthed "I`m so sorry" as we walked in. Yep, the vegan had joined us......lol.....apart from her it was a lovely lunch albeit the restaurant in the pub was cold too. After half an hour one of the husband`s looked at me huddled closest to the fire they had finally lit and observed I really am a lizard! He`s not wrong.

Lunch was lovely though, no dinner needed tonight for us. Little too much bread for me on my dish but the meats, cheeses and little accoutrements went well with them and a nice glass of wine too.

Lovely few hours with them, then came home to meet the delivery man at the gate with a case of wine.....we weren`t expecting it till end of the month, nice surprise!!

Think we may need to open a bottle to try one.....would be rude not to



Safe travels home tonight keisha

Hi Everyone, I'm Back!!! Well, I've been back for a few days, but the Long trip has worn us out! We drove over 4000 miles roundtrip to Phoenix and back. Wow. We have done this trip before, but it really beat us this time. Of course, we were a lot younger on that trip, LOL. We both vowed to Fly the next time. We can be there in 3 hours verses 2 1/2 days driving.

The Southwest was beautiful in Arizona. I love to see the palm trees, fruit trees,, cactus or cactii???, and landscaping everywhere Our visit was a relaxing one with a lot of visiting and catching up time with my sister in law and her daughter. We ate out a lot, which was nice. I love to eat out while on vacation. They have 3 french bulldogs who are adorable. We got our fill of doggy love while we were there. I've never been around frenchies before, and they are really cute We went to one of their many casinos once only. I didn't win a dime, so one and done.

We drove through Colorado, New Mexico (not recommended), Nebraska (not recommended either), South and North Dakota, so we saw a lot of the USA. The Dakotas have 80 MPH for driving which felt like racing to me. (Carole, you would have loved it

Now it's time to get back to normal although it is taking longer to recover from this trip than usual. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the upper 60's. We will get out in the yard and clean out the flower beds and do some yard work. I love this time of year and getting the gardens ready for planting We only plant flowers but have about 6 flower beds to tend to.

Now to catch up with you guys.

Carole I hope your cold spell gets over soon! I don't like to eat in a cold environment either. When food is served hot I want it to stay that way, not turn cold. Spring will be here soon

Keisha: I see your trip is over now? I know you had a good time at Disney, and have a safe trip back home I do miss Disney at times, but haven't been back in a few years. Maybe one day? I absolutely love Universal and hope to do another mother/daughter trip this year

Charade: Did you say the Braves??? I don't follow baseball too much, but being a Minnesotan, I have to support the Twins. They haven't won for years.....

Lynne: Your trip to work sounds like it was no fun! At least you are having warmer weather in the 70's

Robo: So sorry to hear of your dx of skin cancer, You are right that it is very treatable. Take care

Pumpkin: Glad to see you on the Dis (even though I don't write as much as I should). House cleaning is on my agenda this week But when the weather is finally warm and sunny, I tend to let it go.A

A shout out to Mac

Everyone have a wonderful rest of the week, and I hope for warmer weather for all of us
