When its winter up here, its winter.. The temperature could easily drop down to -45c which means we have the furnace going to keep us warm as well as an electric blanket on the bed.. We have those snuggles but seldom use it as our house is comfortable even in extreme cold.. Our house is built to different standards because of the location up north.. Do you find yourself going inside during the summer evenings because of the mosquitoes and black flies ?? We up here have that problem but it doesn't last long.. By early August, most of the bugs have subsided which allows us to enjoy the evenings outside..
No because we rarely have mosquitoes and black flies here.... In Spain otoh , we do get a lot of Mozzies...but usually only a few days after it rains which is rare.... and yes it causes us to stay indoors with mozzie busters everywhere.. some of those tiger mozzies are viscous!! Do you use coupons in the supermarket?
I don't know what store coupons are sorry Do you buy meat in bulk and freeze it ..or buy fresh as needed I useally buy enough for at least a month and freeze ...it ....but never buy in bulk ,I did when the kids were young but now there's only the two of us I like to get fresh as needed ..useally from Costco as it's so fresh
I buy my meat when it goes on special and usually chicken as we don't eat pork and little beef.. I freeze portions in advance.. If a good special, I will stock up on it.. My freezer is always full to the top with meat of some sort ready to defrost and use........ Do you buy fresh fish or only the frozen kind ?? I buy frozen most of the time.. I am given fresh fish upon occasion which is a real treat.. I used to fish like crazy but with the shoulder problems, I sold my boat.....
I buy fresh fish most of the time...very rarely frozen.... @Kate Ellery , don't you get discount coupons from your supermarkets everytime you spend a certain amount?...? Do you watch quiz shows on tv, if so what's your favourite?
No.. I NEVER watch those quiz shows.. Do you own and still ride a bicycle ?? I still have my bike but rarely ride it especially with the operation coming up.. Maybe next year..
Definitely a night owl.. We don't get out of bed in the morning, normally till about 11:00am, if not later.. Often around noon.. We don't go to bed early.. I go around 1:00 to 2:00am and my wife is up till sometimes close to 4:00am..... Good question.. I will repeat the same question .....
Definitely a morning person, always have been..I'm up with the chickens and ready to catch the worm. Now that you're retired do you hate the weekends or doesn't matter to you?
Actually every day is just like any other day.. I do whatever has to be done regardless of what day it is.. Do you like to go to summer outdoor concerts and events ?? We up here always have something going on outdoors with either bands playing, plays, concerts, or whatever.. I look forward to those events as we get to meet the villagers as well as getting out for a pleasant event.. I believe we are supposed to answer our own question in order for us to get to know each other better..
Yes we like to go to outdoor events..outdoor theatre and folk concerts mainly... we love to visit historic gardens as well... Flying used to be a a fun part of any vacation...the airport experience and the flight...now it's like hell on earth, so many people, long queues at check-in and passport control with extra security making it all stressful Do you still like to fly, and if so when was the last time you were on a plane?
I like flying when things go smoothly, my last flight was in December. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? I'm pretty quick, especially in Fresno. Quick shower, pull hair up in a pony or clip, get dressed and put on lipstick. Less that 20 mins total unless I'm washing my hair. How about you?
It depends on what I am doing that day.. If I am working outside, about 15 minutes.. If I am going out to town, about 20 or more to dress properly.. How about breakfast.. Do you consider it an important meal and eat a full breakfast or do you just grab something simple ???? I cook every day a full breakfast for my Princess and myself consisting of orange juice, 3 eggs each with either turkey bacon or sausages, a fruit, and a pot of coffee.. Sometimes I will make pancakes or porridge..
I don't eat breakfast simply because I have to take meds on an empty stomach, and then wait an hour before I can eat after them..by which time I'm at work, so the only time I get a breakfast..it;s actually brunch and only on days when I'm not at work.. I am married but neither my husband nor I wear a wedding ring (although we each had one for the ceremony )...do you always wear a wedding ring ?
