The Shed 2

Syx, love the new avatar!

*Cracks open door to Shed, and peeks in*

Hmm...no night shift...no Gordi, no Jane, no Tsu...
no Dawg...no True...
what can I do?

No Homer...no fossi...no pixie-sis...
no story additions...no fantasy bliss...

Guess I'll just sit here alone, drown my sorrows in coffee....
missing my family...oh woe is me!

I'm here, or rather doing a quick peek myself. Two days left to finish my chores and I'm going into flurry mode. Not sure if there is enough time.

Putting in some insulation and shelves in the garage, still A LOT of organizing to do.

I think I set myself up for failure this time around. Oh well, they'll be able to move around at least. LOL

Such a sad poem...

a reply to: TDawgRex

Hi Dawg!

It wasn't even supposed to be a poem, lol...just kinda turned out that way.
Nice to see you!

Don't think that you 'set yourself up for failure' hun...be proud of what you DID accomplish!

a reply to: jacygirl

Oh, but I think I did. The aches and pains are better now, but boy, I was moving slow for a few days. Lots of grunting and groaning. Should have left the woodpile alone until the end, that task is only half accomplished, but it did tear me up, hehe.

I think the heavy lifting stuff is all done in the garage, but I'm of the mindset now, if I get back to the woodpile, then I do, if not, oh well.

Overall though, I'm pleased with my progress considering everything.

a reply to: TDawgRex

Oh I hear ya Dawg!
I helped a neighbour pack yesterday, and by the time I came home I could hardly stand up straight.
Still achy this morning, but really happy that we got so much accomplished.

Today is a free day, no responsibilities...so I plan on lollygagging for a while.

jacy

a reply to: jacygirl

I'm going to lollygag a bit myself, at least until it warms up a bit as it's quite chilly at the moment. I guess some breakfast is in order, still haven't eaten and I'll need the fuel in order to go into flurry mode.

a reply to: TDawgRex

Yeah it's a lot cooler here today too.
Sophie and I just finished off the peanut butter cookies...breakfast of champions, lol.

I'm hoping the combination of sugar and coffee will kick-start me....I like 'flurry' mode.

Uggh!
Well, I might as well admit it... as of yesterday...
I'm now...

50

Had to go to work, had a very busy day there, then family visiting in the evening, then a nice wee (ahem!!) dram or two watching the first night of the Commonwealth games! GO SCOTLAND!!!
4 Golds on day 1, 11 medals in total, 3rd in the table behind England and the Aussies, very chuffed!

Had lots of nice Birthday wishes and pressies, including a nice Cajon drum which I picked up this afternoon!

I have a distillery tour to do tomorrow!!! then out to dinner on Mysterious island with friends, so won't be around much again over the weekend.

Have started jamming with the Acoustic Stuff (BlonnaHooley / ShoogleRoon) with my other pal Gordy that I've mentioned before, and it went REALLY well. So am looking forward to taking that venture forward very soon!

Sorry I've not been on here much - LOADS of RL stuff going on (mostly good!)

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

You're one of us now....MWhahahaha! Creeping up on 52 myself. Wow! Looking at that really sucks!

Good to see that you're enjoying the RL, as am I for the most part, but boy is it beating me up!

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

[[[[[GORDI!!]]]]]

Aww....belated happy birthday hunny! Welcome to the 'Big Five Oh Club"!!

So glad to hear that you've been busy with fun stuff.
Thanks for checking in...we worry you know!

jacy

a reply to: TDawgRex

Thanks Doug!
Whaaat? You mean looking at ME really sucks?? LOL

and

Thanks Jacy!
I think it should be called the "Big Five Oh, Ow, Ugh, Whaat? Club"!!

My knee is STILL not right from weeks ago. I keep "tweaking" it, and am too busy just now to just sit with my feet up for a day or two, (so it's not healing properly since I twisted it).
A few years ago it would have been better by the next day!

It must be even worse being YOUR AGE!!!! LOL (Ducking for cover!!)

rofl

Umm yeah, it does suck. Thanks for reminding me.

(I'm not that much older than you, by the way)

Sheesh, now quit being such a saucy whippersnapper, and fetch me my pudding!

jacy

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

WE MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY!?

That sucks. That sucks like a futuristic robot hooker sponsored by the Dyson company

Still, I am glad that you had a good time, and that your real life is moving on in a largely pleasing fashion.

Happy belated birthday chap!

a reply to: jacygirl

Yes Dear,
Which Pudding would you like??

I think I'll keep it simple and make you a Hot Chocolate stuffed banana!
Then you can share with Sophie?

Just slit open the banana, and stuff it full of pieces of chocolate.
Wrap it in foil, and stick it on your BBQ for 5 minutes...

The chocolate melts... and the banana goes warm and mushy... and the two mix into one another... and.... Nommmm Nommm!!!

a reply to: TrueBrit

Cheers! Truebro!
(I was keepin' it on the low down!!! for obvious reasons!!! LOL)

HALF A BLOODY CENTURY???????? Whaaaat!!!!

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Well it's Friday...so Friday is rice pudding day. Can you sprinkle some cinnamon on top too?
Oh, and tell the nurse that I want my meds.
And I need to go to the bathroom.
And I can't reach my walker and my cane fell under the bed.
And some old guy stole my reading glasses.
And....
What was the question?

jacy

a reply to: jacygirl

I can actually see us doing that!!!
"The Shed 75" - Jacy and Gordi are now in "The Home" and it's Medication Day... LOL

We could be like Staedtler and Waldorf in the Muppets!!!

PS - (OOOh - I added a pudding recipe in my post above, before I saw your Rice pudding request!!)

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Yea, it sneaks up on ya.

I was thinking of calling it the Ahhhh! Ohhh! My aching joints club. But yours sounds better off the tongue.

Well, I'm off untill later so I can produce some new aches and pains.

Y'all have a good day!

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

I just read your pudding recipe! That sounds truly heavenly! (Sophie is nodding)

I definitely think we should eventually write a Shed story of us all in a 'home' together, lol. It would have to be kind of a rock-star nursing home type deal...so all you musicians could bring your instruments...and we could have jam sessions, instead of bingo night.

I can't mention how I refer to being in my 50's...it would break t&c's for sure!
jacy

Dawg...Bye for now! Don't hurt yourself! *hugs the Dawg*
