Good morning Stringers 

 

Another beautiful day here - the temps are skyrocketing over the next few days though.  Going to be a hottie at the cricket on Saturday but cannot miss the opportunity to enjoy us regaining the Ashes (hopefully)

 

Lovely swim this morning - a pretty good way to start the day.

 

Hope those of you who are so inclined are getting your Christmas shopping under control.

There is always a laugh or two to be had around the traps when I see double standards exhibited 

 

Nothing of import to report here today - just getting a few things done around the place.

 

Have to go to a meeting tonight and I suspect it is going to be an 'animated' one - I wonder whether the Christmas spirit might dampen the enthusiasm for an argument or three lol

Hi Laney

 

OH snuck home for a coffee yesterday to avoid a meeting he didn't ned to be at lol

 

I had best get off here and get some more work done.  Still haven't looked for those bows

Lunch has been 'had' here Deb, so I am going to head out too.

 

Wise move by your OH - unfortunately I cannot opt out like that tonight 

 

Enjoy your afternoon

I don't envy you the meeting

 

My son has stolen my keyboard, it's more compatible with his PC (he says)  oh yeah, right!

 

anyway, theres something wrong with the spacing on this one.& apostrophes don't work, but I'm stuck with it for now

 

anyway, see you later Laney.

Hi Stringers 🙂 loving this peace, at last.

Poor Laney, I hope her meeting isn't too "animated" lol. I find meetings exhausting, trying to deal with troublesome participants...although sometimes the troublesome participant is me 😄

I'm tired from work. Who is going to send me some dinner? What are you all having so I can make my menu selections?

Arrggghhhh! Hnting for a nice cotton maxi dress for a Secret Santa  present for one of my rellies. Why is everything affordable made in a synthetic material.

Yes it's annoying, isn't it. I can't stand synthetics, especially in summer. If I touch synthetic clothes in a clothing shop I recoil...hate the feel.

You can buy pure cotton from eBay India...they have some nice western clothes in natural materials made for their similar climate.

Deb, you'll have to sneak into his room tomorrow morning and swap the keyboards back...or zip down to the shop and buy a new one 🙂

Hi Karen & She-ele.

I'm doing tuna pasta tonight here Karen. she-ele, I must admit I do prefer wearing cotton or silk in really hot weather Karen's idea might be a good one there.

Haha Karen, sneak it back? I wouldn't get away with that

Good thought, Karen, but if I ordered one from India it probably wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas. The way Australia Post is at the moment, I doubt I'd even get one from the Eastern States in time - unless I paid for Express post
