Happy Cinco De Mayo all!!!  :D

Buen provecho!

I didn't eat any Mexican food yesterday. :-\\ We just didn't make any.

So...with Mother's Day happening this weekend, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my mom earlier this week, and they were delivered to the house this afternoon. As soon as they arrived, my mom texted me (while I was at work) to let me know they arrived. :) She wants myself and my dad to cook a particular dinner for her, so that's what we're gonna do. Plus I intend to cook breakfast for her.

However, we did make some last weekend.

Having people over tomorrow night.  With cleaning and food prep, it's getting busy here.  Will likely be absent tomorrow afternoon until late evening after the get-together wraps up.

Have a good time with that! O0

I cooked breakfast for my mom this morning. Later on, my dad and I are going to cook a nice dinner for her. :)

Back after another weekend with my family.

On Saturday morning we watched the school Combined Cadet Force inspection parade and drill competition etc. It was a nice sunny morning and we had an ice cream.

In the afternoon I took Dai’s mum shopping for some shoes. We went to a shop I know has wider fit shoes. Dai’s mum bought a couple of pairs (after trying loads of different ones), and I bought a pair of sandals. I also ordered a pair of trainers as they didn’t have my size in stock.

On Sunday morning Dai and I went orienteering. My course was physically harder than it should have been, with some needless hill climbs added.

Dai’s mum had been talking about wanting to put some plants in our hanging baskets so we went to a nursery in the afternoon. After some discussion we chose some trailing petunias. When we got home and Dai mentioned getting the baskets ready for her to plant she didn’t want to do it. We think it is because we didn’t buy the plants she wanted, even though they were too tall for the pots we have.  ::) Talk about sulking

Thanks Howard, nally.  The deviled eggs and lemon glazed cookies were the biggest hits!  We had a terrific get-together - everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  But TBH I'm glad it's over, too.  I finally cleaned up the kitchen this afternoon...

Interesting. I’m not even sure if there are still any of those in California. There used to be several such locations about 20 years ago or so. But then they started disappearing.

Back after another weekend with my family.

Welcome back again. :)

You know it!  ;)


So you're a caterer?  ???

Just visiting.

It has been one long busy, and tomorrow looks to be the same.

'Twas a good-day Friday the 13th for me. Got all the work done that I needed to; we made a plan and it all came together.

Now I get to chillax for the weekend.

Enjoy yourself, where you headed out too?  :)

Yesterday was a warm day, so we decided to get some exercise in our swimming pool. It felt great to do that.
Today, however, isn’t quite as warm. Plus there has been wind off and on.

Enjoy , have fun .

We went shopping yesterday. I had to return a jacket I bought the other week (I bought two because I couldn’t decide between them). Dai bought a new shirt and tie to wear at the wedding we are going to in a couple of weeks.

Today Dai and I went orienteering in the Peak District. We ran early and then helped on the start. It was a nice day weather wise so we enjoyed catching up with our friends. Later on we popped round my dad’s to help him with an IKEA desk he was trying to build.

Another Monday, another day at the office. Things went well.

On Wednesday I'll be coming into the office 2 hours late, because I have a dental appointment for the first time in 11 months. My current dentist is retiring and I'm gonna meet his replacement.

Is it Dr Phil McCavity?

The appointment at 2:30 (Tooth hurty!)?

Our CSA starts today!  :)


For those of you who don't know what a CSA is: Community Supported Agriculture. We paid a local farm a few weeks ago for the season and we will get fresh produce weekly until about mid-October. It is the BEST investment we make every year. It helps the local farmer and we get the freshest (and organic) veggies. The amount we pay, we wouldn't get half of what we get if we bought it at the grocery store.


If you have a CSA in your area, I HIGHLY recommend it.


Cat

Very funny ;)



The appointment at 2:30 (Tooth hurty!)?

Not in my time zone.


In all seriousness, I scheduled it for 8:15 Pacific time, so that I would need to miss as little time from work as possible.

Thanks for all the well wishes!  :)  Had a fun couple of days - we went with six other good friends to Turkey Run State Park in west central Indiana.  It's a beautiful hilly setting lush with trees, hiking paths, rocky terrain and a river.  Plus the weather really cooperated.  We stayed at their lodge.  We did some hiking there, took pictures, hung out, over-ate, and played games.  Fun!  Travel there and back was uneventful.  My only complaint is it went by too fast.

Lovely, if damp, evening Morris dancing with another local side. Dai was away (came back just before we did) so Dai’s mum came with me. We went over early and had a meal in the pub.

Both sides did a couple of dances and then the rain came down. The pub sorted out some space under cover in their garden and we danced some more.

And I’m happy to report that my dental appointment went well. :)

I already had mine and the dentist always say to brush slowly.

I had my haircut after work today.

Mine advised me to start using an electric toothbrush so I can get to the hard-to-reach places easier.

I may start using that again.

They are digging up the backyard to bury the bodies ...er..plant our no-mow lawn (clover).

I may start using that again.

I’m pretty sure we still have an electric toothbrush in our household, but I have not used it in ages.

My family are away visiting friends this weekend, so there will be no child minding for me.

I haven't used mine in a long time, I've been using a regular tooth brush.

The same with me. And I'd like to see about using the electric one again. If anything, I may have to invest in a new one.

Not too much going on in my household. I'm just workin'. (But I do have a 3-day weekend coming up for Memorial Day.)

Phoned a friend
For a good talk
He only inspired me
To go for a good walk

Spring Fling today. The park is full of activity with vendors and such. There is an unofficial town wide yard sale. (I have mine in September.)  The porch is pretty much set up except for the food. Now it is a matter of waiting for our guests. It won't be as many as I'd had hoped because a lot of people had other obligations. They are predicting rain-thunderstorms. I hope it doesn't rain on our parade. We missed this for the past two years.

O0 Post COVID fun, nice.  Enjoy!

Dai, his mum and I went to a wedding on Thursday. We drove down to South Wales on Wednesday evening and stayed in a Premier Inn. Basic, but fine. We had booked a room with a walk in shower for Dai’s mum.

The wedding (Dai’s godson Iain) was lovely. It was at a small village church (the village where Iain grew up). Afterwards we had a meal in a room above a pub. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay for the dancing and celebration as I had to go to work on Friday.

Just popped in to say, with the family away, I have been busy with other matters, but will be back when I can. BTW, all is fine.

As my three-day weekend draws to a close, I must say that I really needed the time to relax (for the most part). Now it's back to work tomorrow to finish up the month of May!

Thank you; however, today at work was very busy for all of us. We had a few difficulties along the way, but we got everything done for the month.
