    Hate buffets with a passion! :D If I'm going to pay good money for food I want to be made a fuss of. :D I even hate self service coffee places. I like a good waiter. Not enough proper cafes in Britain. Give me Paris, Vienna. <3
    The only buffet i ever liked was a Mexican place near us in London. Dirt cheap and fantastic food. All freshly cooked. The joke for me was that all the very posh people from Hampstead were queuing up outside for their cheap eats! I mean TV directors, actors etc.The restaurant made all their money back on beers. We tried not to drink any. :o I took my brother a couple of times and he thought he had died and gone to heaven. You could barely stagger away. He still talks about it. You had to get there just before it opened.

    My friend seems determined to come tomorrow. It looks if the rain will keep off, but I will bring an umbrella just in case. She's coming by train as she has already had the virus. Even so, we will distance. I will have to take my own food and drink, but we may buy an ice cream from Marroccos to eat on the beach, weather permitting.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Pip ~ I am so happy for yours and Kirby's upcoming retirement. Hope your house sells quickly and y'all find your new abode in a place you will enjoy.

    DLFK & SKYLERBLUE ~ Welcome ! Please sign your posts with an easier name for us to call you and a general location. Some of us old folks have a difficult time remembering. LOL

    Dlfk ~ I too am short (5'1") but I am not small boned. I weigh 170 lbs and just try not to go any higher. I did not start gaining weight until I was in my late 40's. I commend you for all the exercise you are doing and staying at 1000 calories. I know you will lose the weight you want to lose quickly.

    Flea & Suzi ~ I am sorry that you are having to work around folks who are not being cautious.

    Carol in GA


    Hi Carol-
    My name is Debbie
    Like you, I did not really gain weight until mid to late 40's. I am very small boned- still wear kids size shoes even.
    I have been working on this(this time) since last July. It is slow but trying hard to not give up. Two major things coming up so trying to focus on that. What I eat and how much I exercise is one of the few things I have total control of- just need to keep at it.

    Heather: Anvil has a good relationship with Erin. He seems very comfortable in front of the camera. Very funny too. I watched half of the one on Russian rations too.

    Must haves: Fridge, Washing machine, dishwasher.
    SuziQ: So sorry your day at the office was ruined by the lack of consideration of you co-workers. I think you are wise to stay away until you feel safe.
    Barbie: So wise as always. Your council is the cement between our bricks.

    Lisa - I think we share a brain. :p>:) Except mine is full of envy. Sometimes it's all consuming. Part of loving the lockdown was that a lot of that floated away. I don't like being an angry person. :# Wasted energy. Saps my love of life. :'( I don't think many people know about my evil thoughts as I hide it well, but can you make a seat next to you available in hell.

    Lots of love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Some of the nosey and curious folks among us might like to watch my elder son's latest video which is about Italian army ration packs. He's done reviews of several countries and this was definitely the worst food by miles! What makes it fun is he us doing it with his partner's daughter, and it is really quite amusing. <3
    His series is AATV on YouTube and this one is called Italian ration packs. I know bananas watched one once. :D
    Stopped me from writing though. >:)

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Heather I watched it! I had watched one of the Airsoft videos before, and now this one. He's fun. And cute. I liked the way they interacted. The food looked pitiful.

    I've always said all the interesting people would be sitting in Hades with me, and most of the ones I love... Scootching over, making room... 😂

    Love, Lisa

    Hi Gals,

    Lisa – I would run into town and get a Congratulations card one that is blank inside; and write “Congratulations for winning the _____________ grant “ sign it and send it to the person most responsible for letting you go. Mail it straight away to the counsel. I suspect that means your bench must be bigger as I have a wide bottom.

    Heather – great you tube with your son. The meal looked awful.

    Allie – I am so sorry to hear how Faith is doing. I do hope that when she passes Jean is not guilt ridden about not providing the tools to give her better support. (hospital bed, hospice, a lift)

    :)Allie, my walking friend was the sole caregiver for her 90+ year old husband with Alzheimer's until he died. For awhile she was able to leave the house for 45 minutes before daylight to walk with me while he was asleep. Toward the end she had a hospital bed and the help of Hospice. She often told stories of him getting up in the middle of the night and mistaking the closet for the bathroom and the messes she had to clean up. She told me too, of the times she had to call 911 because he had fallen and she couldn't get him back in bed by herself. She said that she felt bad that these extremely well trained paramedics had to come out so often to help get an old man back into bed, but she was extremely grateful for them.

    <3 Barbie

    She must have had her reasons, but it makes me wonder why she didn't get him into a place that could offer him 24-hour care.

    Yes, named by Abel Tasman who also named Tasmania "Van Diemen's Land" ... and later it was changed to Tasmania after Abel Tasman.

    Today, Thursday 18 June ... is International Picnic Day

    https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/international-picnic-day/

    "The word “picnic” comes from the French language, and it’s believed this type of informal outdoor meal became a popular pastime in France after the Revolution. As fans of Jane Austen’s novels will know, 19th-century picnics were elaborate social occasions, with menus featuring a wide range of cold meats and pies that took days to prepare."


    As it is cold and looks like it might rain or something ... I ate my lunch in my home office. :)

    Hello beautiful women.

    Yesterday was both stressful and enjoyable. It’s interesting how a day can be filled with such a wide range of emotions. A little on that here…
    First Day at the Office Since March 17th

    It was quite stressful getting ready and really being timed. When at home it does not matter what time I shower, what I dress in, what meals I need to bring with me, etc. But on the other hand, it was nice wearing “office” clothes and putting on a little makeup, packing up my lunch, and anticipating many people that I have not seen in a long time.

    Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.
    SuziQ – SFL

    You commented on being timed or at home NOT being timed and NOT being timed is one of the things I like about being at home. I can do some things in the morning and then take a shower at noon if I want. If I sleep an extra 5 minutes, I'm not going to miss my bus and have to stand there for half an hour waiting for the next one. I can start working at 11 am if I feel like it ... and wrap things up at 6 or 7 pm. It's up to me!

    And other things ... the temperature in the house works for me, I've got my music on, I can spend time with my husband and see how he's doing, etc. etc. :)

    They haven't issued a back to work directive yet so I'll just wait and see what happens. My husband has hernia surgery next week, so I'm hoping to be able to stay home with him for at least a week, maybe 2.
