Crossover pic –

Who knew


I’m sure we have experienced this at least once.
Yes KJ, soft cheeses have a nasty habit of becoming less than friendly to be around when forgotten. mine is/was feta and it us now bagged and in the freezer until rubbish day.
Daughter made it home safely, workmate drove her to station where her car was parked as trains were only going every hour. Short drive home was much longer due to slips and crowded roads.

Morning all! Hi EC, glad to see you back! … sounds like your boys are doing fantastic! …. my kids took violin in middle school, and really liked it, too bad they didn’t stick with it, but it was both their instruments of choice ….
MS, I hope the quakes in your region are gone, I’m glad all our TDKers are safe, and sending prayers for those Kiwis that were injured or lost their lives ….. I cannot imagine how terrifying that must be!
KJ, my refrig. went through a healthy clean out just recently, as I bought a new one, so in transferring stuff, I most definitely used the ‘when in doubt throw it out’ rule ….. condiments are my most likely culprits of ‘been in there too long’ …. I just don’t use them up fast enough with just me and Mr. AV now.
Time for me to get busy, a full day of input, plus meeting some girl friends for lunch to celebrate a birthday …. have a great day all!

Good morning – lampshade kitty really cracks me up!
Hi ECB! So happy to hear the boys are doing well. It’s great that younger son has taken to the violin so well and awesome that older son has taken to school outside the home so well. You have a couple of very well rounded kids!
My fridge got a good cleanout after superstorm sandy, but that was five years ago. I clean sections so it’s not too bad but it could still use a good overall cleaning. I too have something in the freezer waiting for garbage day.
It’s a rainy day here in Jersey, which is always challenging when it comes to feeding the outside crew. The rain is sorely needed though, as there are wildfires around, and living in the woods makes it a big concern. Dewey was inside for a while this morning, but went outside to eat with his family. What a relief to let him in and not have to rush to pick up food and water!

I’m wanting to tell what happens next but no spoiler alerts, KJ.

Poor Muffin 😥 I can see lampshade cat doing just that jump! So far I haven’t had to fumigate my fridge but living alone, I don’t always check everything. AV-I’m with you on the condiments. It would be nice if they invented smaller bottles of them so I wouldn’t waste them. *sigh*

Airy has a couple of awesome kits if they don’t mind the tremors. I see pictures of the damage and the roads are a mess so I’m sure you’re glad Dau made it home.

Hi ECB! You’ve been busy the last few days with the politics. When my gr. niece started playing the violin, she just bloomed. It’s great your son is doing the same with his lessons. Learning the intricacies of an instrument is hard and worthy of praise. His first performance is so exciting so let us know how your son does in his first performance. Checking son’s homework? Esp. math? I would absolutely need the manual. So what are you doing with your time now that your boys aren’t home all the time?

We’re suppose to get rain/snow on Thursday and possibly on Friday. Like JJ, it is sooo dry here and we need the precip. Night time temps. are going into the 20s/-6f and I can’t be happier!!! 😛

I’m telling myself to clean the windows *sigh*

Cya l8r and have a happy~

Hi all.
Good to see you again EC. I have to admit this latest US election had certainly provided us with plenty to read about, even in other countries.
Sounds like your boys are doing well with their music and school away from home.
Waving to AV, how are your ‘wetkits’?
KZ, I understand the partial jars of pickles, I also have mustards,ginger and garlic etc. The only one that never lingers is the onion marmalade.
Waving to JJ.
KJ, ouchy for the grazed knees and thumb. Your chair looks amazing and what a fantastic to the re-painted street find dresser.
PG, we have smaller jars here not the huge jars that tend to be the norm in the US and they still manage to amass with a tiny amount in the bottom.
Well what a day so far. Headed off with my mobility group and we walked around the local volcano, a distance of just on 3km(1.8miles). We all made it but got drenched by rain on the home straight. We dripped our way to a Cafe for a welcome hot coffee.
Quake news – It doesn’t get better sadly. There have been over 1700 aftershocks so far, they are still happening every few minutes but are getting lighter. Having said that a large one could and most likely will happen any time. In our capital city Wellington one building is in dire condition and could collapse(it’s an 8 storey building) when another strong quake hits and several more have been evacuated because debris is falling from them or cracking was heard. The city also had a months rain in 6 hours with resulting flooding,slips and road closures and now another storm is headed their way. In the South Island the area isolated by massive slips now has helicopters and the NZ Navy evacuating stranded tourists and some locals with US Navy vessel on the way and also en route are Australian and Canadian Navy vessels here for the NZ Navy 75th birthday celebrations. The sea floor in the area where these evacuations of people is happening has been thrust over 6 feet up out of the ocean. More buildings in Wellington are being evacuated because of stability problems. Wellington is over 200km(124miles) from the quake epicentre but it has really been badly affected. There is a lot of damage to buildings and infrastructure especially roads that may take a ling time to repair.

Lagatta I had to chuckle at your mummified description, very appropriate. I find mummified carrots more than any other vegetable.
KJ, Mother Nature has certainly been vicious this time. Your next DIY project sounds good. The kindling I buy is also wood mouldings of many shapes and I have often thought of doing something with them but end u[ setting the nest days fire with them. I think they are seconds because of blemishes in the wood. That would add character to any DIY project I think.
