Good evening to you all, I have spent all day going through the year end 2016/17 accounts to email to my accountant, so I am pretty much brain dead I hope you are all having a good Wednesday ....
Good Morning. I've been up since 4am making mirliton dressing, and baking a Pumpkin and Dutch Apple Crumb pie this morning. I still have a mixed vegetable casserole to make but right now I wanted to take a few minutes to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Have a blessed day everyone.
A very happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends here ........ have a great day!!! a card for you here https://is.gd/lvRJJC
Good evening to you all, I had an accident last night and clumsily spilt some water on my laptop keyboard which stopped the computer dead an ominous click ..........so I put it on the central heating radiator overnight to dry out. Luckily it started ok this morning though the keyboard is all over the place, so I am using the onscreen one at the moment. If it's permanently damaged I will connect a wireless keyboard at least it was only water . Enjoy your day........ a few paintings by Susanne Schuenke .........
Good Morning one and all. I'm shopping online today and won't have to much shopping today since our oldest grandkids want money this year and since that is what they really want and two of them have cars to do their own shopping now...we will be happy to gift them with money now. Everything is changing...some of those changes are really good ones...and some I'm just going to accept and move on with. It's 37 degrees here this morning...and was cool enough for Thanksgiving to need a long sleeve shirt and sweater. Now that is Thanksgiving weather to me. It will end up being in the 60's today with sunshine all day long. The only trip I have to take today is to pick up my Honey when he's finished working and by that time it will be warmer. Stay safe and if it's winter at your house...stay warm too.
A very good afternoon to you all, we still have gloomy weather here, but I feel sunny inside today I read an article by the developer of Amazon "Alexa" yesterday, he said by 2020 it would be possible to have a 20 minute conversation with Alexa .......... so as it comes with the Amazon music app. I thought I would see how she is developing, the conversation was interesting: Me: Good morning Alexa how are you Alexa: Hello I hope you are having a good day . Me: Are you free for lunch? Alexa: I am sorry I don't understand that Me: Ok I will take a rain check on lunch . Alexa: Yes, how may I help you ? Me: Can you play me songs by Simon & Garfunkel Alexa: Are you asking me to play songs by Simon & Garfunkel? Me: Yes please Alexa: I am shuffling songs by Simon & Garfunkel Then "Bridge Over Troubled Water" started playing, not sure if this was a coincidence or a reflection on our conversation about lunch I must admit it was fun, but some work needs to be on her social skills Have a great weekend
Afternoon all... It's a sunny day but frrreeezing cold...thankfully I will not be joining the millions out looking for bargains at the Black friday Sales. I can just imagine what the malls are like today...aggggh nightmare...much less the traffic that will be clogging every motorway leading to the malls and retails parks... No thanks!! Not for me... !! I hope everyone had a lovely TG yesterday...I know sometimes people aren't having such a good time, and feel everyone else is except them...like Christmas...but as long as you spent TG doing something you enjoy whether alone or with family, I hope it was a good one for you..
meant to say Gloria...we don't get stickers here to say we have an MOT pass, we get a certificate... and we are told not to carry any documents in the car because of the threat of theft and therefore the car can be sold very quickly with all the paperwork intact ... alternatively in Spain where the MOT is called an IVA..we get a sticker for the car there, (different colour for each year).. but also unlike the UK, the law states that all documents for the car must be carried in the vehicle at all times.. In the Uk if you are stopped by the police for a traffic offence you get 7 days to produce your documents to the nearest police station, in Spain if you don't have your docs in the car when asked for them by the Guardia , then it's an instant fine!
Morning all... We woke up with thick ice covering the cars and the lawns this morning... but it's sunny, now with lovely blue skies at mid-day... although very cold Not going anywhere today, which seems odd for me on a Sunny Saturday ... but the stores will still be busy for the black friday sales... so I'm going to sort out some donations for the charity shops , and get them dropped off tomorrow... . Have a good Saturday everyone...hope you're all well..
