Hello dear ones! We HAD some sunshine but Mr. Sol took his rays away and rain clouds jumped in to fill the skies. Oh well, it was nice for the time it was here.
Reading all about possible reactions to the vaccine so we would be prepared in case. I think we will be right as rain, as my Gram used to say. Good to know that the second shot is the trouble-maker.
I really had to trim Katie pretty close. She matted up in two or three weeks. She is sporting a very close trim and she has some tuffs sticking out that will be trimmed after she recovers from her grooming experience. 2 hours on the grooming table almost puts Katie into a full fledged frenzy. I have to sneak in a small trim when she has calmed down. What a princess!
Anne: I know exactly how you feel about offering to pay for those acts of kindness from your neighbors. My dad used to say that generosity makes people happy...both giver and receiver. I agree. The problem with shortbread is that it is rarely ever chocolate.
Sandy: our kids were really picky but they loved the most horrible things. Hamburgers, pizzas, Mac and cheese were their favs. They would have lived on those things. That and breakfast cereal. Thankfully, they grew up anyway. Damon is now a great cook. Andrea, our daughter, really can’t boil water successfully. But they work it out just fine.

Last night I didn’t get to bed until after 1.30 because after watching an episode of the 2nd series of Line of Duty I decided I couldn’t wait until next week to find out what happened next so went on to the BBC catch-up website and ended up watching 3 episodes that took me to the end of that series. Now on to Series 3, probably another 6 hour marathon!
I usually only weigh myself once a week but hopped on the scales before my shower this morning and saw another pound lost. I won’t log until Friday though because anything could happen between now and then!
Back from a rather wet walk although still quite enjoyable. George decided to take us through the neighbouring village and on to the field where I can let them off to sniff and run. Nobody about other than one lady pushing a pram with a lookalike Katie in tow! Probably more sedate than Katie though!😉. Spotted catkins in the hedgerows so not long before I’ll be sneezing on our strolls!
Yesterday afternoon my neighbours dropped in to discuss seeds and what we hope to grow at the allotment and in our respective greenhouses this Spring. We also made a plan to cut down wayward bamboo growing in the hedge between us today but that was when the forecast was for a dry day. However it is beginning to look brighter on the coast so I’ll live in hope.
I dare not look back and risk losing my post so will just wish everyone a safe, peaceful and healthy Sunday.

Good morning.
Another Alice in Wonderland teapot before I forget. 🙃
Well, back to gray skies and snow. They have said around 3 inches this time. A positive factor right now, it is well above zero. Actually in the 20’s.
Church online this morning. Watercolors and paperwork this afternoon. I did get some laundry finished yesterday and paid some bills. Okay, I chatted with friends and watched my usual Saturday Facebook Live event. Excitement unlimited!
Jackie, the weather will get better someday. I think yours will definitely be lovely and we will still be slogging along in the cold and mud. 🤣😂 I should probably look ahead on my calendar and give myself a target date for planting a few tomato seeds. Do not want to be too early though and end up with spindly too tall plants to plant in my outdoor pots.
Annsie, good morning. Very nice of you to pay your helpers. My handyman will do lots of things around here for me but it all goes on my bill so I never feel guilty. Some folks do things for me, like rolling my trash bin back to my house when they walk by but honestly, I never know who does it. That happens only once in a while and I never see or hear them. Well, I hope you are not having another snow day. ❄️❄️❄️
Patsy, has Katie recovered from her traumatic grooming experience? And have you recovered as well? That is a lot of work. My nerves would be frazzled! I hope you and John and Katie are having a pleasant weekend.
Sandy, looking forward to hearing how movie night went and what you watched. I have now fallen asleep during two different movies this past week. One day I will see the ends of each!
Be safe everyone.

Happy Sunday!
Will try again. Our weather is just like Lin's, warmer but more snow tonight. Icicles keep crashing down off my gutters but no damage, just loud. Other than a video call with my kids and the bike I might just have a pajama day. The movie last night was How to kill a dragon, one of three in the series. It was very cute and even though the kids were maniacs Lisa and I enjoyed it. Rob and Lisa both liked my stew so I was happy and brought some home so no cooking tonight. I will be going back for Bryanna's birthday celebration tomorrow and again on Tuesday for my regular sitting day. Busy week with an eye doctor appointment on Thursday.
Lin, love the Alice in Wonderland teapot, one of my favorite movies. Thanks for the reminder to pay bills.
Jackie, I have done that as well with movies and stay up too late. I don't know why we get upset if we sleep in since we live alone but it kind of throws the day off. George makes me laugh for being in charge of you and Betty, he must be the boss.
Patsy, I had a granddaughter who would only eat hot dogs and she is now in her 30's and beautiful and healthy.
I would like to see the kiddos eat better but they are not starving and they are all healthy. Ewok was groomed yesterday and looked beautiful with his very soft fur. He was given a bone for his stressful day and was very protective of it with my son so my son was concerned. I later went downstairs and said hello and took his bone, he was not happy but no growling just a little jumping to try and get his bone back. I told my son he wasn't aggressive but probably stressed and he is fine which relieved my son.
Annsie, how nice of you to give the kids and the guys money for helping you. I didn't mean to pry, I was just curious if they charged you. I really am into the old Monk series and old game shows on Buzzr and GSN. I do watch movies if there is nothing else on TV but I have so many shows I watch I have to record most of them to catch up.
Hi Barbie, Jeri and Bob.
Better get ready for my video call. Have a great day and keep staying safe.
Sandy

Sandy, I think it’s How To Train Your Dragon. If it is ‘kill’ I need to hunt for a different series. I do like dragons so have seen at least 2 in the series I believe.
Sorry you are having snow. Ick.
Online church kept freezing up this morning. They restarted their video but I think I got the message being conveyed. ❤️❤️
Lunchtime?

Mikes just driven home and Jilly as always didn't want him to go. She runs back and forth barking and throws her purple baby bone at him. However, after a game of chase me and then hide and seek she has fallen asleep exhausted. She did con three walks out of him in the four hours he was here. I wanted to go with them but the sidewalk was a sheet of ice and had me hurrying home.
And that's really my day so far. While Beans asleep I'll have a go at my jigsaw and watch a bit more "Wanted" on Netflix. It's moved from Australia to New Zealand now and what a beautiful country NZ looks.
So friends have a lovely afternoon, morning, evening depending on your time zone,
Annsie.

You are so right Lin, thanks for correcting me. Cute friendly dragon named Toothless.1 -
Hi Sandy. Yes, that’s the one. Fun movie!!!

Good morning! The sun is trying hard to show itself and because I need a couple of items from the farm shop I’ll take the car out and get the pooches up to the moors. Not much planned, Robbie popping in for a signature on an inspection form then gardening and and a general Spring clean outside. The heating inspector was apparently insisting he be allowed into my home but I’ve said I won’t be letting strangers through the door just yet whereas I trust Robbie totally.
The bamboo didn’t get cut down yesterday as my neighbours went out somewhere so I’ve potted up lots of seeds and the tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergine and pepper trays are sitting in my dining room on the old window seat in the hope they get established before the plaster gets knocked off the walls. I also cleared a rockery at the far end of my garden and was delighted to discover plants I only put in last summer had survived the freezing temperatures. Unsurprising not the California Poppies but I found a seed packet to scatter once we warm up a bit more.
Love the Cheshire Cat teapot... looks like Brady at his naughtiest! 😸
Jackie0 -
Quiz time. What's happening outside right now? Clue: Sigh.
Wash day.
Annsie.0 -
The sun is out and the temperature is rising. That should take care of some of the few inches of new snow. Under the snow, the roads are solid ice. Also good that sun and higher temperatures should help that situation.
I spent the afternoon and evening stamping, water coloring and using colored pencils. Didn’t sleep well. I really could use a nap. I need to get started on that tax spreadsheet. At least I have one named and saved with a pile of papers ready!
Per the calendar, I need to think about making birthday cards again. Later. 🤣😂🤣
I have seen this teapot before and have considered trying to hunt it down. Another Alice in Wonderland design.
Annsie, I am sorry. ❄️❄️
Jackie, my gosh, seeds planted! Good for you. Trying to set up my new light crossed my mind again this morning. Must be a message from spring. 🤣
Be safe my friends.

Whew…. Going to go back later and try to catch up on posts I missed…had issue and got MFP message of a “problem.”
Photo restorations completed. Normally it’s a single photo, but this time it was a half-dozen. Back to some normalcy with some things to catch up on today/tomorrow.
Temp in low 30’s that actually feels warm with snow showers. Lunch ready to go… Chicken Salad Lunch (274 cal). Shredded Chicken, Shredded Lettuce, coleslaw, Homemade coleslaw dressing, Organic Spring Mix, Bell Pepper, Cucumber…
Annsie – Obviously you would be sweltering in the temp I mentioned above LOL. Thankfully, only 25 days until Spring! Lamb chops sound delicious. Like salmon, my mother made great lamb chops – but mine never seem to taste as good as I recall. Think I might order them out at a restaurant the next opportunity I get. Actually, I don’t see them on many menus around here.
I might take a quick look at that Netflix "Wanted" you mentioned. We just binged-watched “Big Sky” an ABC crime drama thriller series created by David E. Kelley and recommended by a girlfriend of Jean’s. Must say it didn’t seem like one of her kind of shows. I wasn’t hooked until the last 10 minutes of Season 1 Episode 1. This also has characters less than wholesome…but some surprises. We watched at odd times but completed all 9 episodes…awaiting the next Season.
Sandy – Looks like we are all getting excited with each degree the temp move upward and every ray of sunshine. Hope the movie and stew were good. I recall as a child just mildly liking stew and by my 20’s loved it. Love homemade stew and soups vs. processed. Happy bike riding!
Lin – Love the Alice in Wonderland teapot – lots of lessons in that story: “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.” You must have loved that warm shower… gotta say they always agive me a fresh and relaxed feeling. Nice job on the butterfly puzzle…soon we will have the company of real ones
Jackie – Looks like you are one of the ones that got passed over for some nicer weather…sorry! Glad everyone is getting their vaccinations. My appointment isn’t until April 13th – but if I see things opening up at a local pharmacy, I might try to get it before then.
Barbie – So true about the electricity, water, and internet. While most of us are grateful for all our necessities…not having then even for a brief period of time certainly reinforces that feeling.
Off for now…time for lunch. Happy Monday to all. Bob

Sandy cannot get to the Sneakers right now. She is off to celebrate Bryanna’s birthday.
I hope she is able to return later. MFP does not like me today either.0 -
Oh dear! Another cold rainy day. But it could be worse, we don’t have our famous ice storms. Those are nasty.
Lin: Alice in wonderland is so wonderful and full of great images. I had a fabulous picture book as a kid with those old scary drawings. I loved them! Then a few years ago when Johnny Depp etc came out with that absolutely amazing film I was as thrilled as I was with the old Disney version. An Alice in Wonderland teapot is perfect.
Anne: another snowy day....I usually fill the house with music and turn on my happy light. Then comes more coffee and sometimes a cookie when I am feeling really naughty. I am not recommending my snack but the light and music really does help chase the blues away. Your jigsaw puzzles confound me. I seem to have little patience for them. I often find myself trying to force the pieces together. Again! I do not recommend this course of action.
Jackie: I saw a travel YouTube channel on London. For a country bumpkin like me, I would be totally terrified but fascinated by it at the same time. I accidentally bumped into that addictive TV program, The great British Baking Show, or something like that. Holy Cow! I had drool dripping off my chin after watching only ten minutes. You British really know how to bake! I always thought the French were the great chefs but after watching that show, I might disagree about that.
Sandy: hope all is well with you and family.
By the way, our vaccine clinic was cancelled because of weather related delay in receiving the vaccine shipments. But we are on the case! Setting up new appointments. Eventually we will get our jabs and look out! I might just come to see each and everyone for coffee and a chat.

I'm going to settle down to watch "Wanted" again. It gets very exciting at times. New Zealand, where we are now is a very beautiful country by the look of what we are shown. However you can keep Bangkok from earlier!
It's finally stopped snowing and we've climbed to 4 degrees centigrade. However before I get too excited we will have snow again in a hours time.
Definitely need an exciting programme to liven up an otherwise dull and dismal day. I made potato salad for lunch, ever hopeful. 🌹🌹🌹🌞🌻🌻🌻

Good Evening! MFP did not like me at all this morning. Just got home from celebrating Bryanna's 26th Birthday at my son's house. The kids were again all wound up but settled down when Bryanna let them try her virtual realty googles or whatever they are called. We had Outback for dinner and Lisa made a chocolate cake but I didn't have any cake, I made an apple caramel tart that I had there from Omaha Steak. Way too many calories today so I have no one to blame but myself. I did ride the bike for 40 minutes before I left but that didn't make a dent. Oh well, Bryanna is worth the extra pounds for a few days.
Just checking in to see if I could get on and glad things are fixed again. Have a good night.
Sandy

Yes, I think we all had problems yesterday with Ma Fitness Pal. Today, snow again this morning but it is warming up and Jilly is shedding her Pomeranian ruff in such quantities one could stuff a pillow.
I've just done my around the house trot for half hour and nothing else exciting happened yesterday so I will away and bore you no longer.
Virtual masked hugs to all. Oh one thing the government here is figuring out how to contact all us ancient ones to be jabbed.

Morning! So much for the arrival of Spring. Yesterday was glorious but this morning it’s back to cold wind and grey skies. Walked locally with the pooches but not far as my escapades up a ladder cutting laurel hedge yesterday has one hip complaining which serves me right as I tend to pretend I’m 40 years younger when gardening! Now waiting in for a delivery which thankfully has a window of just one hour then I may attempt a grocery shop. I’ve run out of chocolate digestives to have with my afternoon cuppa!
Alice in Wonderland was a favourite of mine as a child. Somewhere safe I have the original book given to me back in the 50’s that has wonderful illustrations. That safe place is a bit of a mystery to me right now because precious items were boxed up when the renovations began a year ago but I’m sure I’ll come upon it again one day!
Just chatted to my brother that lives in Spain as he sits in a sheltered spot on a coffeehouse terrace. An icy wind there as well. No sign of a vaccination for him in spite of having MS. Apparently the Spanish authorities are prioritising politicians and their families, friends and rich benefactors. Apologies if that’s classed a political comment!
Robbie phoned to ask if he could bring the inspector in after all and I agreed so long as they came in through the garden room as I was making soup in my kitchen. They wore masks and were only here a few minutes so hopefully my one year of isolation hasn’t been wasted. My Pfizer jab should be taking affect by next week but I’m sure masks will still be required for most of the year, something we’re used to now.
I’m in awe of the mathematicians that not only got the latest probe 33 million miles to Mars but set it down exactly where NASA wanted. Mind boggling and fabulous pictures already coming back across space!
Maybe hold off with the light until you know for sure the icy weather is over Lin.
Welcome back Bob. I’ve been missing your inspiring photos of meals, in fact fell off the wagon yesterday with sausages, beans and a jacket potato. Back to fish today!
A couple of months before I’ll be getting a hair appointment as lockdown is slowly relaxed but as my gran used to say, worse things happen at sea! A bobble hat to keep the mop under control is a must when I go dog walking in the strong winds but George’s groomer is visiting with her mobile unit on Friday so perhaps I’ll borrow her clippers!
A new BBC drama called Bloodline started Sunday, written by the same man who created Bodyguard and Line of Duty so I mustn’t get drawn towards what appears obvious because for sure it won’t be!
I’m now in the delivery window so will prepare myself and get a warm jacket on because it’s a heavy shelf unit he will probably require help with.
Stay warm everyone. Even with my cold feet as I sit in a draughty spot I’m guessing I’m still in the warmer part of the world right now.

Hello. Sunny again today and warmer than normal temperatures. I am thinking of taking a drive to try to find the clinic I am to report to next week for my shot. Have no idea where it is weather is nice enough for a drive.
MFP is not acting all that well for me again this morning. Hoping this will post.
Another Alice in Wonderland teapot. This one is reportedly a miniature.
Jackie, I am sorry you had to let that inspector in your home. It’s that person’s job to travel from house to house, which would not make me comfortable either. I talked to a friend yesterday afternoon. We started talking about the place we used to work and the reported sale of certain businesses. Anyway, she said they are having their laundry room remodeled. They have a guy in their house all day long each day. She said they felt comfortable because they knew him and he recently replaced a faucet in their house on an emergency call. Interesting what people are doing these days.
Anne, one of these days, the weather will look more like spring. While we are having better weather, we still have sizable snow drifts and ice in places. Hugs for the Jilly.
Sandy, glad you got home safely and had a good birthday celebration.
Must zip along.
Lin🙋🏼♀️

Hello sneakers! We have a peek at the sun among the clouds. I know it will soon be rainy but for the moment, it is partly SUNNY. Hello sunshine!
Our virus vaccine clinic was canceled due to weather related delays of the vaccine. We are rescheduled for March 4th. It will be a truly arduous event. It will be at the fair ground. Hoping for no rain but it will continue as planned because the vaccine as a short shelf life. I have no idea how this will done. Our county isn’t well known as efficient or organized. We fly by the seat of our pants here.
Our son has had an interesting and uncomfortable situation. One of his sailing friends has had a falling out with his room mate. He had to quickly move out of his apartment. The friend wanted to live on Damon’s sailboat. That just was not sitting well. Damon’s sailboat is his safe and calming healing zone. It is more than a floating apartment To Damon. It is hard to explain but this feeling is pretty common with devoted sailboat owners. It might be like dog owners.....hahahaha. Who really owns a dog? The dog actually owns you. Maybe sailboats are similar.
The rain has arrived. It looks like it will just be off and on all day.
Chicken Chili and spicy pepper cornbread? Tossed salad or a fruit cup to accompany this. It will give off a wonderful kitchen aroma for hours. John will be a happy guy. Meal time is a big deal around here. It is when we try to pretend things are normal and we still sit at the dining room table with napkins and nice placemats. I don’t mind going to a bit more trouble. It helps John eat a bit more. His weight has stabilized currently.
Isn’t it weird how our words keep getting jumbled up here? Wonder what is causing that...

Well PATSY, thank you as requested, for sending us some of your rain. It's a god darned mess out there with miniature ponds on the road but am I glad to see a bit of rain for a change. Tell Damon to hold his ground. He worked hard to acquire his boat and it is not an apartment to rent. I had a similar situation a few years back. Very uncomfortable to say no. I guess Damon could say it gets damp and mildewy which I gather happens to boats around here in the winter time.
My favourite book as a child was also "Alice in wonderland" and also "through the looking glass." Mind you I read everything I could get my hands on. Wasn't keen on Enid Blyton books but loved Peter Pan and Wendy.
Busy doing a mystery jigsaw puzzle. Thought it was the Pope judging by the pieces but it's turning into a canopied procession of red elephants! Indian or that area I guess!
So, Bean and I are viewing the rain today,

Happy Tuesday! Sitting day today and I am already tired. I will perk up once outside especially with the sun shining so bright. The snow off my balcony is finally melting and almost all gone. It is 46 with a real feel of 54, so it is like a spring day. I think it will be too messy to go outside with the kiddos so we will just play in the play room downstairs. I only gained a pound with all those calories I ate yesterday so I don't feel too guilty.
Still can't get an appointment anywhere so very discouraged.
Annsie, it is amazing to me how many people are doing puzzles. My daughter's FIL in on his 49th puzzle, my dil does one a week and then there are all of you. I just can't seem to find the time which doesn't make sense. My daughter wants to do all of my 20 or more photo albums and put them on digital. I am just not sure I want to give up my hard copies.
Patsy, sorry your appointment was cancelled but at least they rescheduled. I don't think I would want to give up my space to anyone, I like living alone and although I don't mind overnight guests I really don't want a roommate.
Lin, the weather is great for both of us, finally. Enjoy your drive. When my landlord stopped by I immediately put on my mask and he did the same because he knows how I feel about masks. Bryanna wore her mask yesterday except to eat where she sat at the counter by herself. Only because she works and goes to school so she is very careful.
Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, stop climbing on ladders, your surgery isn't that old and you don't want to damage anything.
Between you and Anne I don't know who to scold first. It is amazing to watch the probe on Mars. The pictures are amazing. Did you wear a mask and did they wear a mask when in your house??
Time is getting away once again and I have to stop for gas before going to the kiddos. Have a great day.
Sandy

Good afternoon Sneakers -
Not a horrible day, but no sun. Gym was good as usual. Tomorrow we might take a ride to the Waterloo Premium Outlets just to “get out” and take advantage – the temp should hit close to 50! – for 1 day. Lunch was NY Strip Steak, 3 oz; broccoli and cauliflower & small side salad…
Another longtime Destiny USA tenant has closed…so many retail store departures… Littman Jewelers this time with BestBuy leaving within a couple weeks.
Earlier Jean and I watched Newsmax TV: "Titanic Arrogance," a documentary that reveals the shocking truths about why the ship sank in 1912.
It told how the Titanic was designed for comfort over safety and explained the details that made it vulnerable. I knew the captain wasn’t the best, but not that he had a series of “close-calls” in the past and it was more a selection social-standing selection than expertise at sailing. Lots of other details were covered, including the “whitewashed” investigation. Enjoyed it.
Lin – Hope you are having a good day and thanks for the Sandy update.
Sandy – Seems there have been some MFP issues for all. Glad U got to celebrate with Bryanna.
Patsy – Reading your post, I again feel blessed. We may not have sunshine and there is the occasional snowing – but I think it’s better than a dreary, cold and rainy day…. Good luck with your new appointment. As prev noted mine is sched for April, but I might keep trying to move it up if possible – not worried, just want it over and done with. Have a cup of coffee for me.
Annsie – Glad to see you living on the edge with “Wanted” and New Zealand. Amazed at some of the movies that have used that location – Lord of the Rings, Mission Impossible and Wolverine. Potato salad always is a good choice for lunch.
So long for now. Stay well. Bob

Just home from grocery shopping having decided yesterday not to go into town. Nice and quiet early so I managed to get everything I wanted... lots of fresh fish and add to that a lemon tree already bearing small fruit that can live in either the garden room or greenhouse. Couldn’t resist!
Another windy and drizzly day so it will be interesting to see which way George takes us on our walk when we set off.
Sandy you are of course right about climbing ladders but you know what it’s like, just a few inches higher and a few inches more!! I didn’t wear a mask when Robbie popped in with the inspector because they were in another room although they did surprise me wanting to take a photo of a plaque placed inside a kitchen cupboard that has all the safety information about stove and chimney. I pushed myself into a corner by the kitchen sink!! 😯
Bob, In the mid 20’s my maternal gran worked for the same company that owned the Titanic but her ship’s route was to east Africa carrying settlers but they still had the class barriers. She kept a diary which is full of fascinating social history.
Lin, when our first lockdown ended and I had a few men in to get started on the renovations they each told me they had never stopped working during that time. A lot of people took chances but early on I heard a couple in the village contracted the virus and the man died so that was enough to put any thought of visitors out of my head. Dave the builder has phoned this morning to check if he can visit Sunday to go over what I want done but my Pfizer jab will be protecting me plus we are supposed to have a sunny weekend so can chat outside.
Anne, I did laugh about your jigsaw subject... no disrespect to the man in Rome of course!
Patsy, a true friend won’t blame Damon for needing to keep his special bolt hole to himself. Better that than risk a mighty fallout later if things go pear shaped.
I wanted nothing more than to sit in your kitchen yesterday smelling all those aromas! Great to read John’s weight has stabilised so maybe nothing more than the stresses of the past year.
Gosh, gone 11am already so better get the pooches out.
Have a safe and peaceful day.
Jackie0 -
MORNIN ALL! – Early post
Came out of the gym this morning and the sun shining over my car says it's going to be a Ferris Buehler kind of day! "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." A heatwave day (1 day special) with off/on afternoon showers.
So we’ll be heading out to the Waterloo Premium Outlet Mall this morning with a stop at Martin's Amish Furniture - a Mennonite Family-Owned Business with lots of quality furniture and decorations. And then late lunch at Magee Diner before heading home.
https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/waterloo/about
Jackie – That is soooo cool about your maternal gran and even more fascinating because she kept a journal. Funny how class barriers seem to be with us regardless of government structure or organization. Of course, on the Titanic no one “explained” why more 3rd class passengers weren’t in boats and how more 1st class men passengers made it into boats with the women / children. Then there was the SS Californian used as somewhat of a scapegoat. Love all kinds of documentaries.
Hope everyone has a great day…time to shower etc. and beat the afternoon rain – although at 48 degrees I don’t care if it does rain…I will simply adopt a Gene Kelly attitude and start “singin' in the rain; Just singin' in the rain; What a glorious feeling”….yada yada
Stay well. Bob
