Wednesday – 9/11/2016 – Chaos Rules in the TDK Café!

Crossover pic – This necklace is called Chaos and was made at Asprey in London. I saw a programme on the making of this necklace and it was amazing.

😯 😮

No wonder it felt hot here,we got to 26C. That’s a mid Summer temp. I have doors and windows open and fans going and I am still uncomfortably hot.

Good morning – cats sure are good at getting into “this won’t end well” situations! The sparkly Chaos necklace is beautiful!
Hubby and I decided to go out to eat last night. In the past, we’ve voted and either gone out or gotten take out. So even though we voted yesterday morning, we figured we’d go out at dinnertime.
Went to a local ‘burger and a beer’ place. No wait staff in sight, and after a minute or so the bartender said to sit wherever, and pointed to an area where there was a buffet setup. So we sat there, immediately getting the feeling we’d be the forgotten table. A young girl came and took our drink order, then delivered them without taking our order. After about 10 minutes the waitress who knows what she’s doing took our order. While waiting about 20 minutes, people started coming in for what looked like an election party, including kids and one who “Oh, he has a cold.”
Oh great. Bring your kid with the cold to a restaurant, and by all means, announce it.
We found ourselves in the middle of a party and after feeling really uncomfortable, saw an open booth on the other side of the place, picked up our drinks and relocated. A few kids decided the restaurant was a playground and were running laps around the place, and who told them to stop? Mom or dad? Nope, the waitress. And the kids stopped running for about 2 seconds.
We don’t blame the hard working waitress, who has worked there a long time. However, the young ‘waitress’ was clueless and the bartender should have stayed at the bar instead of trying to ‘help’. And the owner should not have taken on a party if they did not have enough staff to handle it. Bizarre experience!

I agree KZ. If you want to teach your children manners start at home.

Your misadventures, KJ. Of course, my dad wondered how I made it to adulthood. 😆

Whew, finally made it in to café – waves to anyone still around/lurking!
Great – timely theme – many of us in the USA feel same and more! 🙁

Sorry – IMHO – had to share…getting off soap box now!
Subject change:
It’s a beautiful day in my n’hood – sun shining 50’s – perfect for a li’l walk! Found this to share:

Pretty trees – autumn’s glow thru fence opening ’round here!

OK, more billy buds on desk…back to part 2’s fun…woot woot…later…
ooops almost forgot – smooch for you Tux – mwah…

Good morning all, another early rise and off to the pool for some water torture today, at least that’s what it felt like for the group. We do love our instructor though.
Now as for the Chaos necklace being anybody’s think again, if I remember correctly it was purchased as a 21st birthday present for one very lucky young lady at a cost of many thousands if not hundreds of thousands of pounds. I just can’t remember exactly.
I can understand why so many of us like it though. So KJ and KZ hands off.
JJ, yikes what should have been a pleasant quiet night eating out turned into chaos. How rude and uncaring to take a child with a cold to a public eating house to spread germs even further afield. The poor waitress who has worked there a long time, I bet she did way more than her share last night. Children need to be taught/learn that there are times where they must sit quietly and not rampage all over the place. I sometimes cringe when I see what the children of our childrens generation are allowed to do in public, ours were brought up to respect other people and their space.
OMG KZ, you have me almost spurting my morning cup of tea when I read you had teamed the necklace with your fleecy top and scarf. You also said the bit about the children so much better than I could.
MS pops her hand through the worm hole and wheeeeeest brings it back with the necklace. I simply must have it when I go shopping this. afternoon
😈 😈
KJ ! ! You melted Barbies hair? ! ? ! Most children would have cut it short but your are definitely different – melting it with a light bulb. 😮
PG, love your pics. It was a crazy day.
LOL at JK’s pic. Uh huh – nodding. At least the TPPA seems to be dead in the water, it was not going to be good for NZ with large corporations able to sue the country if our Government passed any laws that they felt hindered their business. It’s a bad day when corporations can tell foreign Governments how to run their own country. Pretty Autumnal trees. COL is a valid excuse here too.
Whoa was that Comet diving past me with Dorry following close behind? What?
Oh I see what has happened,I did wonder why we had a hard left turn where usually we go straight. Hi JJ. There you go Shadz, off to play with Leela and complain that Meowmy hasn’t been brushing you when you want her too.
I am off to hang out my swimming togs(what do you call the thingy you swim in) and then wash the chlorine out of my hair.
PS, we didn’t win the $44million Lotto Powerball last night 😥 🙁 but one lucky ticket holder will be living a very different life from now on. So no big TDK tour and meet ups. Deep sigh.
