HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!
I hope everyone has a good and safe week.
Morning all: Thanks for news of golf games, weather, wind-blown trees. :-)
Lindybird: Florida salad? Intriguing. Too bad about the forum. Even our neighborhood website has had some people who join in just to attack others, but it's monitored and they have disappeared (don't miss them).
AQ; Agree that humidity is intolerable once the temps go up, which here means anywhere east of the Rockies....
Didn't do much of anything yesterday other than a few household chores and a natter on phone to friends. Mostly ignored the news; I mean, you think things can't get any worse...... :-( This week a lot of our stores are opening for in-store shopping - I may venture out for a couple of non-essential items.
Take care everyone.
Annette - Florida Salad: Its just one of the small pre mixed packs, amongst all the 'potato salad ', and 'Waldorf salad' etc. which are on offer in the chilled selection. I'll go & check the ingredients on the label in a minute... Pat. Well done on managing 18 holes! Quite an a achievement. Hope you don't pay for it, and ache too much tomorrow.
I was complaining yet again, that a recent drama was unwatchable by us, as the actors were whispering & mumbling. No point in trying to work out what is supposed to be going on if you can't make out what's being said, as it might as well be in Swahili! It was suggested by someone that I try putting the subtitles on, which I quickly declined. For one thing it was about 10 episodes so no way did I want to suffer that for so long, plus my OH would not watch anything for more than one minute with subtitles, as he claims he can't watch the subtitles & the action at the same time. I was then told that I could learn to love them!
Eventually, after several exchanges, I gave up arguing, after being told that I would enjoy it!
"Florida Salad" -- "Chunks of pineapple & apple with shredded cabbage, mandarin segments and glace cherries in a creamy mayonnaise."
The site would not let me in yesterday after I came home feeling very bright from my hour’s chat at Dau’s. I was greeted vigorously by Toby (dog), Fluffy (cat) came to sniff this stranger and s-i-l popped out for a few minutes (he is still working from home). I could not convince OH to come. Maybe next weekend when “we” deliver gifts.
LINDA – Our restrictions vary state to state. Eg. QLD has had staggered returns for travel, first essential, then <50 km from home, then 150 km, this week whole state but no crossing borders to other states. It has cut down spread. All of Aussieland is encouraged to travel now especially as next is a long weekend (Queen’s birthday). [Aside: Cor blimey, she is fitter than I, or will I be riding in 18 years?] I don’t like subtitles as I want to watch facial expressions and what is happening in the background of the scene. Give me voice-overs please.
PAT – A tough day back on the course & starting with 18 holes. Well done for finishing, even if you were crawling home LOL.
Florida salad sounds good but glace cherries would make it too sweet for me. OH will frown; he dislikes any salad.
I have done a catch-up wash, everything that didn’t fit and wasn’t really important. A whole load. The misty rain came down as I headed for the outside line, now it is crammed in garage or on clothes horse under verandah. Guess what! The sun is shining now.
