What's making you happy today? - Page 676

I've lived in Kansas City for 4 years now, and have yet to meet Elspode in person...we've been friends for over 10 years, but have missed each other a few times in both STL and KC. Well, we are finally ending this problem next Saturday night, as he and the Mrs are having folks over to watch Rocky Horror and Holy Grail...w00t!

Griff · 07-02-2014, 07:05 PM

Excellent!

We paddled from Harpursville to Ouaquaga Bridge on the Susquehanna today. Saw an eagle, lots of ducks, too much Japanese knot weed, and a turtle pining for the fiords. We hunkered down on an island in a heavy thunderstorm under the kayaks listening to little Griff drumming and singing Linoleum. Good times.

Japanese knot weed...

...I think I smoked some of that a few years ago.

Today has been a good day. I've had two really good cake orders come in. Well three if you count the one I'm doing for Aden's g/f at a heavily discounted price because I want to try out a new technique. haha Went to the cake shop and got some supplies for the cake I'm doing for my brother on Tuesday, and I FINALLY received some stock that I was starting to panic about for cakes due next week!

All in all, a good day. I nearly kissed the posty. I decided not to considering the precarious state of my marriage at the moment. haha

I had more than one birthday card.
Had more than one prize.

Let's just say I'm going to be okay for quails eggs AND hot beetroot chutney this month.

Oh and there is the small matter of Le Tour going through tomorrow.
Colour me excited.

A response like that deserves Independence Day greetings in return.

You could always come back you know. We still have taxation but we do have representation as well these days.

it's blooming glorious here today. sunny, not humid, hot but not too hot. perfect. And I learned that the firework king is fully loaded and ready to dazzle us all tonight

Carruthers · 07-06-2014, 08:39 AM

I've finished painting the fence. Yippee!

It's not even our fence but we have to look at it so I asked the neighbour if he had any objections if I gave it a coat of preservative.

The panels are about 8' x 6' and were fairly easy to do with a 4" brush. Unfortunately, the disposable coverall I bought didn't breathe and so even on a middling warm day I soon developed my own personal sauna.

Not at all pleasant.

The trellis along the top is a fiddly pain in the arse of a job and has to be done with attention to detail and a 1½" brush. Not too warm this morning and not raining. Job completed.

And another entry in the credit side of life's ledger. I won £50 ($85) on the Premium Bonds.

Life is good. Well, up to a point. Still plenty of time for the forces of darkness to strike before the day is done.

Must see pix of the fence or it didn't happen. Congrats on winning the money.
