Lol Polaroid no need to apologize ~ I was into a few sports, until my favorite players (eye candy) all retired so I lost interest....

Shame you're too late for the Wagatha Christie trial Kaily. (my apologies Weekenders that was a bit UK specific)

Good to see you Nefer.

Congratulations to Ukraine for winning tonights Eurovision insanity.

edit. I was glad Ukraine won but I didn't care for their entry. Sweden would have been my choice.

yesterday was a great day.

I got to see some live music for a little bit at a neighborhood festival and got some stuff done around my place.

Good Morning Weekenders

I wasn’t given an opportunity to have a pcr test just the ones I have at home (lateral flow test, lft). I’ve done another test and negative again. I’m mystified. I can’t judge it on how I feel because most days I feel pretty crappy with the asthma. The doc may give me a pcr or antibody test because of the confusion.

We’ve had some Lancaster bomber planes on fly bys yesterday. I missed them but plenty of videos on fbook. They sound wonderful, just like hearing an old movie. I tried to copy a video to post but couldn’t.

Have a good sober Sunday. Love to all Weekenders xxxx

Negative is good, don't worry about it Mags. Just be on the watch for any symptoms.

End of Day 182 - Just reached home from airport. Had a great relaxing vacation. Good night from Seattle!

Ha ha yes indeed.

​​​​​​Personally I would take the negatives and carry on as usual Mags. If you feel worse then get the Dr to diagnose.

As for Euro I didn't watch much but I did like the UK entry this year.

Worst part of any vacation, the trip home....

My Dad would've been absolutely thrilled. The Lancaster is his favorite. He tells us stories of watching the dambuster flying practicing runs.

Saou, I had to look up Wagatha trial as you piqued my interest!
Mags, whether or which, look after yourself.
Beautiful bells pealing of a Sunday morning. It's a good day to be sober!

At least you will always have the happy memories calmself (another sober dividend).

It seems like a big deal over not much doesn't it Leshar?

My flat has started to creak. It's like living on board the Titanic. I had better investigate during the week.

I await the results of the investigation with considerable interest!

When I returned from my Oahu adventure I had planned an extra two days to recover, do shopping and get prepared. But the office was calling me immediately due to a disastrous situation which they had caused themselves. I ended up working the rest of the week and right thru the weekend to correct their follies. I was steaming mad!!

Dragon that must’ve been annoying, you hit the ground with a sprint finish.
I remember coming back from holiday Sunday only to start work Monday. I didn’t think that through!

Saou, wonder what the creaking is. Is it connected to the soundproofing I wonder.

Kaily I hope you got sorted re the jury.

Still feeling ropey. It’s the coughing that hurts. Think I’ve pulled muscles coughing.

Love to all Weekenders xxxx

Mags have you seen or spoken a Dr? You know you can break ribs from coughing. Take care.

I hope you don't drown, Sao.

Re Jury service, I have put the form to one side but I have to complete and return it by the end of the week. I'm not good at explaining myself so can't find the words.

Alfie enjoyed his weekend and I'm sure he was the envy of many a coiffured canine.

Agree, Sao. Definitely planning to go again, let's see.

That is rough. I have to report back to work tomorrow and still pretty jet lagged being the first day after landing here.

One thing I wanted to tell was, I had a slight interaction with AV on two occasions.
1. On Kalakaua Ave where we go for walking in the evenings, my wife asked me - Can we go to Mauii Brewing and have one beer? She just takes a sip and gives it to me. Knowing that I said no. She was a bit upset.

2. While coming by Hawaiian airlines, they said every adult can get a complementary Mai Tai. AV started to chatter. But I closed the convo with it by getting coffee.

Anyways, felt a bit upset that I couldn't get my wife anything to drink having gone so far. All for good. Good night from Seattle.
