The Word Friday…..

Posted on by

……Will Not appear In The Title Of This Post.

Every Friday post has the word Friday in the title. Not today, dammit.

Glad the weekend is almost here though.

I’m on the back porch. This is my view.

I moved WhatsApp from my tablet to my phone. First I got this:

Not available… So I had to sideload it.  Now the app won’t work on my tablet, because one device per phone number. I find this inconvenient.

Last night a frog jumped off the roof and landed on my head. I said WTF! and threw it off the balcony. That makes three frogs seen in two days. The wife’s going to have a cow when she sees one. It’s frog season.

Oh I’m glad it’s Friday! Even though it’s not looking like a nice weekend…

Have a good one!

Thursday Thoughts

It’s Thursday. Two days till the weekend. It seems like only the first five days after the weekend are the hardest though. That’s good….

The wife gets back from Miami today at about noon.

Yesterday morning Ashy the cat had disappeared. I looked everywhere and could not find her. I called the wife to give her the bad news. while I was on the phone I found the cat in the closet behind the clothes hanging on the hangers. (see above picture) Ashy still hasn’t approached Sheba yet. Sheba wants to be friends.
I have never seen a dog that has such empathy as Sheba. She seems to know how others feel.

This morning at 4:30 we had quite a strong storm. I should say microstorm. Very strong winds and very heavy rain for about 10 minutes.

Wish me luck at work today because I anticipate a rough day.

Two Anchored Ships

Took these two pictures of two anchored ships while having a coffee with the wife yesterday afternoon. I like the top one better, she likes the bottom.

The wife went to Miami for work, two days. She’ll be back in 31 hours.

It is quite cool this morning, cloudy and will probably rain.

Have a good day!

Two pictures taken yesterday. Pirate ship that I hadn’t seen in a long time. And a sunset pic in panorama mode. Both taken with my phone camera.

The wife is going to Florida for work today. She’ll be back day after tomorrow. As usual, if you don’t hear from me tomorrow, come find me and bring a sandwich!

The weekend in brief.

Friday: Canadian Thanksgiving dinner at Brian n Rosio’s house. Very Good!

Saturday: Wife worked, I caught rays on the porch. Saturday night, Dinner at Copper Falls with some out of town visitors.

Sunday: Wife went to the beach, I watched football and mowed the yard. Ashy the cat attacked Sheba and gave her a scratch on her nose, Wife cried, Ashy got yelled at.

I have a problem taking pictures. When everyone is taking pictures, I don’t, because everyone else is. Then, I have no pics for my blog. The table Friday was very nicely set up. everyone was taking pictures, not me. I figured I’d steal one off of Facebook, but didn’t see any.

I need to lose my inhibitions!

Have a great week!

Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Saw this movie the other day. It was very good. Of course, you have to see the first one first, which is also outstanding.
The only parts I didn’t like was when the hotel manager was rude to the lady guest, but in hindsight, I wasn’t supposed to like it.
I’m not going to get into the plot here, but I say really really good, 5 stars. I’ll be watching both again and again.

Everything will be all right in the end, so if everything’s not all right, so if it’s not all right, it’s not the end! And: There’s no present like the time!

Have a good Friday and a great weekend!

Ashys 13th Day

The cat’s been here about 13 days. Sheba is surprisingly good about the whole thing. I am amazed by her tolerance for the cat. Sheba definitely, obviously, openly wants to be friends, but Ashy’s still reluctant.
I never knew Sheba was so good till we got the cat!

Tomorrow is Friday!

Early To Bed, Early To Rise

Posted on by

Went to bed at about 8:15 last night. Without a word, the wife and I both got up and went to bed. When we got there, I said “You know it’s only 8:20, right?” She said  “Whaaaa      ?”, and then we were both asleep.

I think we need a new mattress, my back has been killing me for two days. I can’t even touch my knees without pain. Thank God for ibuprofen.

I don’t wanna go to work today. I wanna go to the beach!

No News Is Good News

Posted on by

It was a great weekend! Friday I stayed home while the Wife went out to Oktoberfest. Not my cuppa tea)

Saturday I went to the beach, wife had to work (only for two hours). The beach is full of seaweed, and I had the whole 7 Mile Beach to myself! Didn’t see another soul. The sea’s been pretty  rough, with the wind coming opposite the normal direction. Good sand n sun tho, it was great!

Sunday, we took Sheba to the beach at Barkers, not much seaweed there, came back, gave Sheba a bath. Then I trimmed the tree in the back yard. It had branches hanging down almost to the ground. After that we went to a friends house and hung out by the pool.

And I watched Football, Redskins won,  Dallas lost.

It was a good weekend.

Super weird dreams last night though. I had a brain twister about the anomalies of the number 96. And a different dream that someone was building real structures of optical illusions. There was a corner of a building, a house really, that was up on a pole. It had a still-alive woman from olden days, still young and not affected by time. And more illusions. Too weird to retain in the brain. Waker-uppers. I got up and laid on the back porch for a pretty long time, since
sleeping wasn’t comfortable. 

But it was a good weekend! I feel pretty good this morning, despite lack of sleep. We’ll see now the day goes.

Have a good week!
