Morning all, a nice sunny day today just got back with Susie. I let her stay at mums for the night so we had a nice walk, have just ordered my last Topaz plugins so now have the ones I want plus just waiting for my JJC extension tubes for Fuji

Scrambled eggs, little sausages and toast.
Reasonable mug of coffee to try and get with it.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. A bit of overcast this morning, so it should be a cooler day today. Yesterday was warm ... hot by Fujidave's standards. Gary took apart the pressurized pond filter and handful by handful washed out a billion of these thick little plastic spoked wagon wheel looking thingies. Very tedious, but it's done and Gary is good for another six months or so. This morning Gary refilled the feeders for the flying pigs. The feeder in front and the feeder in back were nearly empty.

Gary printed Million Dollar Spaghetti and was preparing to cook up same, when a discussion with Mary Lou persuaded otherwise ... Gary is gonna work up a grilled veggie Pasta Primavera instead for dinner. But later this week, he will make the Million Dollar Spaghetti. Gary is gonna add some Sous Vide chicken to the Primavera. ... into the Sous Vide bag Gary will add some peppers, herbs, lemon and orange zest and vino. Then he'll grill the chicken for the final rise in temp when he grills the veggies.

Gary discovered some good size bell peppers and zucchinis behind the roses. Most of the grilled veggies will come from the yard and all the herbs will be fresh from the gardens. Y'all invited for dinner, if you have four legged friends they're welcomed also. Gary may open some bubbly tonight and espresso after dinner.

60 humidity here and going up, fantastic looking at these old slides and am well chuffed that some of my father are in them as I have never seen those.

36% here. Gary has the Sous Vide fired up and the chicken cooking away in spices, fresh parsley, marjoram, rosemary and savory. The juice from an orange, some orange zest all of it swimming in a Saucelito Canyon Cote de Blanc.

Charlie, you should have bought it! it's you. But it seems like felt work can get pricey.

I think dinner will be leftover veggie soup and I don't know what, some sort of sandwich (maybe a grilled/toasted cheese, whatever you call it when you do it in a pan with a dab of margarine til the bread's toasted and the cheese is melty). Yeah, I think I talked myself into that.

20 minutes til more hockey.

You know if you lived out here, you'd be welcomed for dinner and hockey here.

My Sister will likely be in the hospital tomorrow. She gets dehydrated.
I'm watching Drag Racing from Atlanta.
In an hour or so I'll be asleep.
Have the best Monday it's possible to have.

That is sad. Gary hopes it's something trivial. Best to her.

Yes - a bit too high for my budget, but I did pick up a critter kit - a chipmunk. Now I have to go through the tutorials, then see what I can do.

Had a lovely cool walk with Susie this morning, they say it is going to be the hottest Bank holiday on record today. Have a good one folks.

It seems I got the photography bug from my father and his mother ( my gran ) have just found a old photo gran took of Pearl Harbor, plus a photo of mum and I on a beach in Australia. This is a WOW for me to have now.
