Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. It's sunny and cooler here, beautiful weather.

We are just emerging from a second “deep freeze” here in the UK - in my area, anyway.
And in-between the two we had ferocious wind and rain storms !!
Hoping for something a bit nicer for a while now 🤞🤞🤞

I'm off to get my eyes checked. It's the drops this morning, so I'll have to do a lot of sitting around for a few hours. I've been noticing that my glasses are just wrong at any distance and on long drives it can become a real problem. One of these days I'll have that surgery that replaces the lens completely so you don't have to wear glasses.

I had lens replacement surgery a few years ago and it was excellent, but I think that many people still need glasses, at least for reading: the varifocal replacement lenses seem to only have limited scope for some people despite the hype about no longer needing glasses. I was always extremely short sighted, but that was useful for such things as removing splinters and threading needles: I therefore opted to go for lenses which are good for reading and close work, also balancing the eyes (as one was much worse than the other), but I still need glasses for distance and have a different pair for using the computer.

In any event hagatha, I hope the eye test does not produce any unpleasant surprises!

Otherwise, I hope that everyone's week is getting off to a good start.

Any news about family yet?

The eye test went well -- apparently my eyes are getting better, not worse. I selected two pairs of awesome Gucci frames. I figure since I wear them all the time, they are an important fashion accessory and so I spare no expense.

It is odd that family has dropped off the forum so completely. Has anyone tried to PM her?

I didn't PM her as it seems she hasn't visited the forums for some time. However, I did send an email to the address she has listed in her profile yesterday. I am quite worried as this is completely out of character for her.

Good Morning Everyone. Draclvr any word back from your email to family? Maybe her computer quit and she hasn't been able to get it fixed. I do hope it is something like that keeping her from posting.

Double dark brew coffee, strong Earl Grey tea and hot chocolate are on.

Hope you all have a peaceful day.

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today.

Nothing from family yet, Gerry. I'm hoping for a computer issue too.

Making a brief grocery store run today to get a couple of things in anticipation of quite a lot of snow tonight and into tomorrow. I doubt it will stay around long, but they don't plow the country roads very quickly, so it may be a few days before I get out. My wine supply is getting low!

"My wine supply is getting low!"

The only answer to that is ...................

Mad, LOL! 🍷

The only thing I use wine for is cooking and my brother hates when I have it on my grocery list because there are so many different kinds.

I love a splash of wine and a pat of butter to deglaze a pan after searing meat.

I believe I have families phone # and address, if she doesn't come back soon, I may try and text her.

Good Morning Everyone


Lex your breakfast sounds delicious and yummy, yes relax indoors and enjoy yourself..

PS Good Idea Ana hope family is alright


Happy Gaming Boomers and hope your enjoying your breakfast too

Good Morning everyone. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are on. Ana hope you are able to get in touch with family. Draclvr we are expecting snow this afternoon as well...and our country roads don't get plowed right away either...not enough manpower or plows in our little town. Time to replenish your wine supply Draclvr!

Happy Hump Day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Thanks Ana, hoping all is well with family. Going to visit friends tonight with some friends.

Oh, yes, on the nice red wine and a pat of butter to deglaze a pan! Then pour it on the meat!

It looks like we got about 5" of snow, but it's very wet and packs down as soon as it comes down. But everything is covered and out here in the country it looks beautiful.

I think texting family might be better than a phone call. That way she can ignore it if she chooses!

Good afternoon everyone. 🐫

Gerry, is there any dark roast left? Connie, I'll have a couple of glazed donuts. Hey Ho TaintedFury ... have a wonderful evening. Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! Always plenty of double dark brew ready soot...strong tea and hot chocolate too. We had a rain storm overnight...got 2 more inches...no snow! Temperature 52 degrees this morning...crazy for mid-January! It will drop into the 40s later.

Enjoy your day.

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I will be leaving for Melbourne in the morning, going to the Eagles Mid Winter Conference. I will be back sometime Sunday, not taking my laptop with me.

Travel safely, Connie 👍

Have fun Connie ... safe travels to you!

Good 'Friday's Eve' to eveyone

I'll have a cup of tea Gerry and a couple of cinnamon crunch bagels from Connie

Have a wonderful evening everyone

Good Friday Morning everyone! Enjoy your trip Connie. I brought some fresh warm bagels, donuts, and danish to go with fresh brewed double dark coffee, strong tea, and hot chocolate.

Happy Friday!

Gerry

Apparently an unseasonable cold front is headed our way. I have a couple of errands to run and some boxes of things to drop off at the Thrift Store, and then I think I'll sit in front of the fire and watch TV.
