A2K time zones: What's the time where you are & what are you up to?

You make yourself sound like a little furry woodland creature!

I could use you on MY nest!

Ha.
And I'm hoarding lotsa nuts for winter eating, too!






How are you, Deb?
Haven't seen much of your here over the past few days.

Busy. Been busy. Need to do some work tonight and all.

Cats are licking the saucepan I used for my chicken with black beans and vegetables with black quinoa.

They seem to like it. Still, what DON'T they like?

I hope that's not a lot you have to do tonight.
A bit of a bugger on a Monday night!


I'll bet you they wouldn't like tripe!
I mean, no person or beast does!

If I could bear to have it in the house, you'd be on. My mother used to try to get me to eat tripe by telling me it was chicken. As IF!

I need to work tonight because I didn't do it today. Mea culpa.

You never met my grandmother. She had a recipe for tripe and from what I could tell she liked it, me, I wasn't as happy with it; but, it was better than the charcoal cookies my mother would bake. One thing she didn't care for at all was rutabagas. Her incomplete semi-autobiography was titled 'No More Rutabagas'.

She also had a recipe for something which included '1 half of a broken cup' of some ingredient. At some point the cup broke entirely and she was unable to duplicate the recipe to her liking again. That aside, if you have a copy of a particular neighborhood recipe book, there it is listed, complete with the half of a broken cup instruction. I occasionally have wondered if people went about and broke cups to follow that recipe (in the Village anything is possible). Personally, I think she should have given her recipe for beef tongue.

Anyway, Monday morning the sound of a bird or 2 chirping in the yards, and annoyingly overcast right now. Not doing much of anything.

It's a wonder you two survived childhood, being forced to eat that atrocious stuff!

I hope you're not still working, Deb.

11:15 pm, Monday ....

Feeling a bit melancholy.
Thinking about lost friends, lost contacts who mattered ....
Ah well.
Big sigh.
OK, back to the big clean-up.
I've decided to keep going till midnight, then I'll stop.
Gotta get up in the morning.

What's everyone else doing?

Reading in bed.

Couldn't do the work because I didn't have the template I wanted to change here.

Problem is, I dont think I have it anywhere....I think I have lost the USB stick I had it on....so, I have set my alarm for five because I may have to do it from pretty much scratch.

NOT good news!

Sorry you are feeling melancholy....

Good for you. What a nice way to spend this beautiful spring morning!

Sitting at the computer, procrastinating about a tedious piece of computer programming ahead of me.

So you hit today, yesterday man, just as Msolga and I are about to hit tomorrow.

That's correct, Futurewoman!

Well, to Msolga I am yesterday woman. She hit tomorrow thirteen minutes ago!

14 minutes ago.
12:14 am Tuesday 8th May ...

Gotta crash.
Very weary.

Night Deb.
Night Thomas.
Night Sturgis.
Night all.

noon oh three
Monday

trying to make it through the day at work after four days of belly dance workshops (and a ferocious conference closing party)

need to find food

0618 hrs 7 May 12

Having my second cuppa and trying to wake up. Looks like a nice day shaping up. But 'round these parts this time of year unexpected rain squalls are always a possibility, even with the sky a baby blue just moments earlier.

19:24 S.W. England

Raining and windy outside, been togging bleeding hearts when it was sunny, just finished hoovering...dinner's in 't oven, 2 snorey dawgs, 2 cuddling kitties

settling down for the evening!

2:28 EDT in SC Pa(USA). Having a late lunch. HAve been driving an RV home for the last 5 hours so Im a bit frazzled from the I 70 idiots. Its a nice gentle rain and my tomatoes look like they arent growing until they can be assured of constant temps over 60Degrees F. Its a might chilly Id say.

Dogs and cats have ignored us for leaving for the weekend and leving them with the "Terror BIrd" house sitter. She's a grad student who is in an ag/vet program atU P and is totally into dominating plants animals. I think her research is full of **** (she believes all this Turing AI crap) but my wife thinks shes great so, who the hell am I ? Im the chopped liver man .

10:30 pm in eastern ontario .
just finished a plate of fruit : kiwis , a pear , an ataulfo mango - all topped with prunes - a real feast .
going to the in-house gym to spend some time on the cross-trainer .
it was a nice and sunny day , but it'll be rainy and cooler for the next few days - the rain is badly needed .

It’s 5:28 am in Florida, got up early this morning, already back from the gym. I have to show up for Jury Duty at 8:15 this morning.
