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

Lololol mr sloth is channeling gene Kelly singing in the rain

My favorite movie and one of my favorite animals.

Some good actors in Happy Gilmore, love Christopher McDonald and Frances Bay, but didn’t like the movie.......I think it’s AS I just don’t like.....

I just checked and I have seen only 2 of his movies - The Wedding Singer and Bedtime Stories.

Charade, I’ve heard of the Mandalorian, but sounds like a Chinese language to me. I don‘t have a clue in SW things.......

It's a great show, but if you're not into Star Wars then you probably wouldn't care for it. Grogu (baby Yoda) is so adorable though.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh little one looked up and Potter store in NYC opens on Monday. Weeeee, hope no line to get in later this coming week. Just want to have to look in there. So if we do, will try to post pictures if it.

Pizza was good, and now that relaxing position is being had by all in the family. May get back to that puzzle that just is too hard without a very bright light. Sigh. I do enjoy a quiet night, and hair tied up. Yeah, it’s warm.

 

[Robo56]

We have a local Strawberry Fest too! It's quite popular. They make so many unique food items using strawberries. Strawberry Brats are a favorite!!

Sounds like a interesting combination. I would try a strawberry brat.

Here are a few photos memories...

Lovely photos of a happy group. Can never go wrong with MK, Kate Spade or Dooney & Bourke bags. Food pics look yummy. So glad you all had a nice getaway to celebrate the graduations.

Love farmers markets. We could spend hours wandering around them.......Scotland has wonderful strawberries and raspberries, so we plan to enjoy a few later this month.

And glad you got your trip with your grandson sorted Robbie.....that’ll be lovely.

Hope you have a great day......

Thank you Schumi. The farmers market was busy. The booths were a bit lacking as the local farmers produce will not be coming in good for another couple weeks. There is a Amish family that I always look for as their produce is awesome. They were not there today.

There were lots of people out enjoying the sunny weather. We had lunch at a restaurant by the water. We were so full from lunch that we did not partake in any of the strawberry food offering. We saw folks walking around with strawberry shortcakes that looked good. I enjoyed spending time with sister, niece and great-nephew.

I had to come home and shower as it was pretty hot out......LOL...I took a nap too.

I did a little tweaking of trip plans for grandson and I this evening.

Are there any foods you enjoy using with berries in Scotland?

We took J & L to meet baby X last night. They have been desperate to meet their cousin.

Cute pictures.

I suggest going when the temps are cooler. There is very little shade in that area.

I wish I could, but this is the only time he has open. July it will have to be.

Woot! Awesome pictures from Paris and Julie. Vacation and kids, yay! And a Robo post. Yay for wedding coming up in 3 weeks. Yay!

The wedding will be here before we know it.

They just released a big bucket of reservations for June & July today. Might want to consider booking a resort there fir one night to try that allotment

Thank you so much for the Information. Reservations for Hollywood Studios did open up for our planned day. Tickets bought and day reserved Thought it was going to be a loss. Could not get reservations for room at WDW, but that’s ok we are staying at Universal.


Leaving the light on Mac.

 

[macraven]

Let there be light.....

awesome night light!




even better, no banged toes for me

 

[macraven]

Obviously, I’m on the night shift here

 

[Charade67]

I'm still up.

Really cool light tonight.

 

[macraven]

What are the odds you will be up later than me?

once the tv show love it or list it is over, I’ll go to bed then

It`s already open LG, it opened on Thursday. Saw their pictures online. Store looks lovely inside and you can get butterbeer if you like it.

Very impressive statue of Fawkes as you enter.

Sounds like a interesting combination. I would try a strawberry brat.

It does sound lovely, and yes, once all the produce is in you`ll see it busier I imagine.

Scottish strawberries, we eat them as they are.....don`t mess with them in any way, they are the sweetest ever. We have beautiful blackberries, blaeberries which are European blueberries, sloes, rowan and juniper berries to name a few. Yes, we grew up enjoying some lovely home made pies with them most of the time, but as a child eating them straight from the source was something we all did.....and lived to tell the tale too......lol.....

Beautiful night light Robo.......



Sunday again. Came down around 4am to bring the Prime Rib out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature which will take a good few hours, it`s beef though it can sit out just fine.

All that marbling will melt beautifully. I do enjoy cooking these hunks of meat long and slow at a very low temperature. Will add some mustard, seasonings and some rosemary and thyme which some folks don`t like with beef, but turns out lovely. Red wine jus to be made later. That`ll do 4 nicely.

So dinner is sorted for tonight.

Sun is shining after a slow start, hoping to get out a walk this morning, and I think we will. Need some sunscreen though as Tom got caught last week and got a little sunburn on the back of his neck above the tee line.

Might do the woodland walk behind us this morning as it`s the last day of half term and beaches will still be busy, much quieter tomorrow. It`s a little more awkward though with the foot, as along the front is flat and even for the most part.

Bacon up for breakfast though.......

Yep, Happy Sunday ☀​

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh happy Sunday it is.

Oh, wasn’t sure day opens. But neat idea for store not near Universal. Thanks for the info as what we will see Schumi.

And so, another golden sunrise in the clear sky. Was quiet lovely, as sat on my front steps, tea cup in hand, and watched the sunrise. Was 71 out at around 5:30 this morning. Sunrise is earlier and earlier as we get closer to the longest day of sunlight. And cool lights from Charade. Thanks for having as no stubbed toes here too.

And you know it’s going to be a hot one. Heat Advisory issued. And yep, pool time we will be. Will take some chicken I’ve been soaking in a bag of bbq sauce. Grill is in the pool area, so will grill them. Made some salad, and put some chopped up tomatoes and sweet peppers in an aluminum pouch I made, that had tossed them in butter and salt and pepper. That’s also in the refrigerator. Easy meal and all will eat. Will be a lunch whenever we decide to eat. May take some crackers and cheese too. Nibbling is good.

Ah, older one is not an early bird. He went to bed before I did. Little one was the last to bed. Hence, we shall have a later start. I assume I will see older one first, and will have to do that get up sound later in the morning. I’d like to get there sometime in the noonish time. Want to be home around just after dinner, as our Sunday always means get as much of the trash out as you can. And so, will do that when we come home, as will be a routine work day night before. So quiet evening and earlier bedtime. Well, that’s the plan anyway. That, and relaxing.

Yay, a very sunny Sunday is here.

And wonder when Robo’s Summer trip will be. Little one really wants to ride the new coaster. June prices are crazy, and no availability for closer to today times. She really wanted to go before camp starts in two weeks. But hmm, camp ends two weeks before she goes back to college, though still not sure if she will be in person or not. And so, been toying with buying her a season pass and staying a week. Hmmmm.

Supreme Sunny Sunday to all the homies. Have a relaxing day, stay cool and hydrated, and smile. Another week of June has started. Woot!

 

[Charade67]

And cool lights from Charade

Last night’s lights were from Robo.

Im barely awake. Will be back later.

 

[Lynne G]

Oops my bad, Robo. Hope you have a nice Sunday.

Charade, you are up early.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Love farmers markets. We could spend hours wandering around them.......Scotland has wonderful strawberries and raspberries, so we plan to enjoy a few later this month.

And glad you got your trip with your grandson sorted Robbie.....that’ll be lovely.

Hope you have a great day......




Love the pictures Lori.......you all look so lovely and happy! And love the food pictures too.......Tres Leche is the best!!

Its a funny film, and honestly I can’t abide Adam Sandler, but he is so good in this.

Nice bags too, they chose well......and yes, looking forward to more pictures.........welcome home



Got our beautiful rib roast joint earlier, place was so busy I’m glad we had ordered it. We spent some time wandering around as it sits in the most beautiful land with all the animals close by......very tranquil apart from the cars coming and going.

Stopped off to see my friends son new home, he had invited us and it is lovely. Thankfully not a new build, but a very traditional property that will suit them down to the ground. They called it Briarwood, weirdly as they are both a little drawn to old style buildings and one was an asylum of the same name......they thought it apt as his wife is a psychiatrist. They do have a very good sense of humour, if a little wry at times.

Going for Thai tonight after all. Haven’t decided what to have yet, we’ll study the menu later......then finally our Don’t mess with the Zohan movie night. But, been enjoying sitting out in the sun today, it’s been gorgeous.

Although think the farmers around us are busy, or poachers, hearing a lot of gunshots. Wabbit season........lol........

Time for wine...........

Did you write that your friends named their house? Is that a common thing to do in your area?

Lori really enjoyed your pictures!

Thanks Mac!

Trying to catch up! Lovely photos from everyone and lots of trips planned. Heard a rumour US will not be opening up to UK this year but who knows anymore - things changing daily here.

One friend travelled to France last weekend in a rush to bring back a Pyrenean sheep dog puppy her daughter was waiting for. Cost £700 for all the tests alone but it is very important to her. She had breast cancer at 26 and sadly returned at 40. She is doing really well and competes at top level with her dogs in obedience. My friend had decided she would go with her and they are now self isolating.

We took J & L to meet baby X last night. They have been desperate to meet their cousin.

J and I went to Chester Zoo today and really enjoyed it. It was very warm so we had lots of drinks in the shade and I was excited to see they are now selling Dole Whip (other Disney fans will appreciate my excitement). The limited numbers made it one of the best trips we’ve had there. The new lion enclosure meant we got right up to the sleeping beauties
View attachment 580111

Apologies my photos are sideways again.

We walked over 6 miles and I did ok in my Converse as all on pathways but not enough give in the soles for much further.

Back to the shoes question I always take trainers, sneakers and sandals. If a pool holiday add in sliders.

We are eating out tomorrow. Just a local pub for Sunday evening dinner to finish off the school holidays.

Hope everyone is keeping well and having a good weekend.

You have beautiful grandchildren!
Glad the zoo was a success!

Happy Saturday. I am having a productive day. I finished the vacation laundry and am now working on getting my summer clothes out of storage and putting away the winter clothes. Actually, I am taking a break right now because dh is napping in the room where I have clothes stored.

Speaking of clothes, the one thing B wanted to buy at Disney was a Princess Jasmine t-shirt. She was so disappointed because the only ones she could find were for little girls. I looked on the shop Disney website and found this and ordered it for her.

I think the compliments aren't so much for the Crocs, but because they are Baby Yoda Crocs.

I suggest going when the temps are cooler. There is very little shade in that area.

I'm looking forward to my first solo trip, but is it really solo when I am planning to meet up with other people?

Thanks!

Great photos. I love the black bag.

I'm not much of a fan, but I have seen a couple of his movies that I have liked.

Aww..sweet photo.

Cool! I love big cats and rarely see lions that close.
B had her first Dole Whip on this last trip.

Dh is still napping. I need to go find something to do so I don't fall asleep too.

That is a cool looking shirt!

I'm a fan of baby yoda too!

Woot! Awesome pictures from Paris and Julie. Vacation and kids, yay! And a Robo post. Yay for wedding coming up in 3 weeks. Yay!

Oh my, it did feel hot out in the state park we walked in. Think a few miles, not the number of miles Schumi did. Yep, coffee had and a bit of mall shopping too. I’d say it was about 1/2 masks, 1/2 without masks. Some stores still had please wear a mask before entering, many did not. We just wore our masks, even though we are all fully vaccinated. Seemed easier. I guess as once again conflicting info, mask it or no mask, vaccinated or not, inconsistent applications. We just know both trains said masks required, so we are not going to retire mask wearing any time soon yet.

And so, a vote for pizza dinner at our house. But as all are looking like a beached whale, no one in the mood to order, let alone volunteer to be the pick up person. Schumi, was pizza dinner your family vote too?

And you know it is hot. Left home when AC was running. Came home, AC still running. Going to be even hotter. Sounds of AC will be constant this weekend.

Time for some tea. And a check on the tube as at what to view. Reruns seem to be the norm lately.

Sounds like a very fun day!

Just polished off the chicken wings & jr headed out to play a late 9 holes of golf in our beautiful weather. Only spent an hour in pool on raft. Cheated and took off boot, put on a 2nd stretchy foot brace 8 did a lot of hopping lol.
Yea!!!

Don’t blink, how nice to have so many happy events planned

They just released a big bucket of reservations for June & July today. Might want to consider booking a resort there fir one night to try that allotment

We are in far burbs right before farms start. Have a steady parade on trash eve. Don’t mind as long as they are respectful, all for repurposing stuff

ive been eyeing up that exact purse for years a great understated piece. Difficult to choose wisely, so many options A nice dilemma

Yuuuum. Nice & fresh

Sweet pic

2words...Happy Gilmore It was on heavy rotation here back in the day, at least not as noisy as Texas chainsaw I

Yes, I love that the purse doesn't scream Disney. Its great for everyday use.
They had tons of Moana themed ones. But the colors weren't to my liking.

Star Wars. Specifically The Mandalorian, the new series on Disney Plus.

I was just just searching for a shower curtain and matching bath mat to get B for her dorm in the fall. I came across this one. I think I may have to get it for myself.

View attachment 580143

That's cute!

Lololol mr sloth is channeling gene Kelly singing in the rain

I recently bought a haunted mansion’wall paper’ print one.

Do share a picture of that. I have a haunted mansion D&B too!

Ooh little one looked up and Potter store in NYC opens on Monday. Weeeee, hope no line to get in later this coming week. Just want to have to look in there. So if we do, will try to post pictures if it.

Maybe you can sneak that trip in with DD! Would be lots of fun for you both!







So this happened next door yesterday....


Our neighbor has no business owning a house! He should be a condo or apartment guy. He tried to burn a bunch of brush. In 90+degree heat. No rain for days. And a cut field of hay just beyond our yards!
It would have gone from a small brush fire to a major problem if it spread to the hay. There is a ton of cut hay, and it was ready to be bailed.
He may be book smart (anesthesiologist), but has Zero common sense!



A few more vacation pics...

Our food at Mythos. This and The Palm were the 2 best meals we ate this trip!


Who knew that chocolate and beer go well together?? Not a bad pre-lunch snack, lol!


Jurassic Park River Adventure---first row...we were drenched! And dried off quickly in the heat!




Hoping to go boating today. But its quite windy, so will have to see if it's possible.
Happy Sunday to all!

 

[schumigirl]

Well, enjoying the sunshine after a kind of dull start.

Enjoyed a long walk, longest in 3 weeks, and been watching the GP this afternoon on the kitchen tv as we are just sat on the patio.......not a bad race, but not the best. Although just had the most wonderful of endings by the driver we don`t like......cheers were loud in this house when he blew it!!! Neither of our drivers won, but good enough result.

Prime Rib smells delicious already.....oven will be off soon and will sit till dinner.......hopefully a perfect medium rare.

Beautiful afternoon here, will definitely be sitting out enjoying this sunshine, beaches are busy with folks enjoying the last day of half term.....

Cold drink time.....sparkly lemonade with some grenadine......



Lori, just saw your post......yes, some homes have names here as well as or in place of numbers. Usually individual homes that are a decent size, but some folks just do it anyway. So, instead of being 34 Anystreet Anywhere, it`s the name of the house then the street. Our home has a name and not a number, it`s a connection to our family....I`ll tell you in an email......

Lovely pictures!! Oh you did get wet for sure on JP!!

Food looks lovely too, I`m so glad you had a such a fabulous trip.....

Yes, he won`t win neighbour of the year will he.......

 

[Lynne G]

Oh my! Scary, Paris. Glad it did not spread any more than it did. Thanks for the great pictures. Looked like all had fun, and good eating too. I like Mythos, though never have done the Palm yet.

Oh my is it hot out. Made hoagies for early lunch. Little one and I, turkey, ham for older one. Just to tide us over before we go up to my sister’s pool.

 

[keishashadow]

Dinner is TBD today. Verging on 90 degrees & my rule that no cooking will commence to heat up house

Thank you so much for the Information. Reservations for Hollywood Studios did open up for our planned day.

Yea!

Obviously, I’m on the night shift here

Graveyard hehe

Scottish strawberries, we eat them as they are

I just scarfed down a Pennsylvania one fresh from garden. Is there a difference in variety?

So dinner is sorted for tonight.

Oh my, drooling

Bacon up for breakfast though...

Same, used a Roma tomato that did the trick fir my BLT. Reg tomatoes & cucumbers have been of horrid quality last two weeks in the stores for some reason

And you know it’s going to be a hot one. Heat Advisory issued. And yep, pool time we will be.

Done lowering the misters ears, ready to go claim my float & chill

They had tons of Moana themed ones. But the colors weren't to my liking.

Agree

Do share a picture of that. I have a haunted mansion D&B too!

Shower curtain? Lol sure. In my defense, a leftover from last year’s Halloween theme. Was begged by GD to let ‘Er ride

He may be book smart (anesthesiologist), but has Zero common sense!

Natural selection may find that fool soon enough Horrible to need to keep even a casual eye upon him.
Meanwhile, I had two neighbors across the alley who were nurse anesthesiologists. Lived one house apart from each other. Both came over & introduced themselves when we first moved in & said to feel free to call upon them if anyone ever needed first aid etc. the world was a different place then

Enjoyed a long walk, longest in 3 weeks, and been watching the GP this afternoon on the kitchen tv as we are just sat on the patio

Good job!

Good job!

I do like Haunted Mansion items.....I have tea towels and I think somewhere I have a cruet set from there, and I know I have a mug or two.

Scottish strawberries are no different from English really, but they are generally much sweeter......different soils. The place we go for tomatoes and similar has a huge hothouse that you can go and pick your own, right now I think they are the nicest they`ve been for ages.....peaks and flows I guess.

Enjoy that pool time!





Prime Rib was......yep, perfect. I do take pride I cook a mean Prime Rib......not much left at all on them bones. Forgot to make the red wine jus, but everyone said it really didn`t need it. I got chatting on the phone......oops.

Watching The Prodigal Son, tv series with Michael Sheen.....not sure yet about it, but will give it a try.

Another weekend nearly over........

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Mostly lazy day today. Church, lunch, nap, TV, dinner. The only productive thing was grocery shopping.

Reservations for Hollywood Studios did open up for our planned day. Tickets bought and day reserved Thought it was going to be a loss. Could not get reservations for room at WDW, but that’s ok we are staying at Universal.

Glad you were able to get in. I hope you are able to get on RotR.

What are the odds you will be up later than me?

I was up and down all night. I have not been sleeping well.

Charade, you are up early.

Not by choice unfortunately.

Yes, I love that the purse doesn't scream Disney. Its great for everyday use.

It is very subtle. I used to have a Vera Bradley purse that was a subtle Mickey print.

So this happened next door yesterday....

Yikes! Glad it didn't get any worse.

Jurassic Park River Adventure---first row...we were drenched! And dried off quickly in the heat!

How have I missed this ride? I love water rides.

Enjoyed a long walk, longest in 3 weeks, and been watching the GP this afternoon on the kitchen tv as we are just sat on the patio.......not a bad race, but not the best. Although just had the most wonderful of endings by the driver we don`t like......cheers were loud in this house when he blew it!!! Neither of our drivers won, but good enough result.

We watched NASCAR this afternoon. Unfortunately our driver was involved in a collision and couldn't finish the race.

Shower curtain? Lol sure. In my defense, a leftover from last year’s Halloween theme.

That's a cool curtain.

Would you believe that dh is talking about going back to Disney in March? I think he's serious. I'll have to think about this one and do some pricing.

 

[macraven]

It’s always great to plan another trip charade!

Hope March works out for you.

March is a good time to go. We enjoyed both March trips, but for us, it could some nights get a little too cool for us. I know you prefer it not to be as hot, so it might be perfect for you.

JP is a great ride, it has a good drop at the end and it`s funny when you read on here when folks say oh you don`t get too wet......well, you can be dry, a little wet, sprinkled or totally drenched like Lori was. It varies every ride. But, it`s so much fun.

Hope you sleep better soon.





We are getting so spoiled with this sunshine our country (for the most part) is enjoying. I think for sure we`ll need sunscreen this morning before we head out a walk. I think we`ll go down on the front today and get back into that walk.

Barbecue food tonight I think. Tom will redo the last of the rib roast for him on the grill and we`ll all have something else, will have a look after breakfast.

It`s just not completely dark now at night, birds start chirping around 2.20 according to my husband who said they were loud this morning.....never heard a thing, dropped off as soon as I got into bed and didn`t wake till 6 this morning.

Book group meeting this afternoon too....still on zoom for now.

And it`s Monday again.......although when I woke up this morning, I had no clue what day it was.......

Happy Monday

A happy Monday to you too, Schumi. And we have another sunny start to our day as well. And a humid one.

Ah yes, that early start, and house feels a bit warm. 72 out, and another Heat Advisory day. Sticky feeling, with chances of storms, as so humid out.

Pool was nice, and enjoyed some very tasty bbq chicken off the grill. Salad and pickles was the meal. And enjoyed a small lemon limoncello cake. The best parts were the lemon tasting icing and the lemon curd filling. And, on our way up, stopped for a dozen doughnuts. Only three of those came home. Only food leftover.

And so, back to routine for me. By end Summer, should be back to commuting. And mask wearing is not required if fully vaccinated, though cannot ask for proof, anc can wear if want to anyway, and some places still require masks. Updated Friday, will not have to wear a mask when back to commuting. Guess I will have a mask in my bag, and see what others are doing. Do have to commute soon, as have to update my card that works my laptop. Wish me luck. Been said, sometimes it takes a few hours to all day, to get your laptop to allow access to you with a new card. And so, it’s that day that you go from AC places in an AC running in car.

Ah time for tea. And maybe a donut. And some oatmeal. Made some oatmeal yesterday morning, so some of that is leftover.

Most marvelous Monday homies.
