• Sunday evening...

    From MeaTLoTioN@21:1/158 to All on Mon Apr 1 00:45:03 2019
    Hey y'all, how are your Sunday evenings going? Happy mothers day to whomever
    is celebrating it, Mums and Dad's that do the Mum job too.

    Sat here listening to the sound track to Phantom of the Opera, remembering
    some good times and singing along to it too.

    Glass of red wine in hand also, just for good measure.


    The weekend has gone oh too quickly, back to work in the morning. Roll on Friday night =)

    Hope y'all have had a good weekend too, and that your week ahead is super
    good and productive.

    I think our Mothers Day is celebrated in May over here and Fathers day in September. Interesting how those dates shift around the globe. Perhaps it
    helps the makes of Mothers and Fathers day cards to get their stock to the marketplace in time! :)

    Sat here listening to the sound track to Phantom of the Opera,
    remembering some good times and singing along to it too.

    Depeche Mode for me right now... enjoy the silence :)

    Glass of red wine in hand also, just for good measure.

    It's only morning tea time here, bit too soon for me good sir :)

    The weekend has gone oh too quickly, back to work in the morning. Roll on Friday night =)

    Monday is rolling along already here. I'll beat it into submission for you!

    Best, Paul

    Just made roast potatoes, lamb chops and brussels sprouts, waiting for The Walking Dead to come on - it's the season finale.

    I'm off next week, we're going to take my daughter up to my family's cabin and see if it's still in one piece. We have over 10 feet of snow, so I'll be digging tomorrow night to get to the front door!

    Not mothers day here :) (Phew, I was worried I forgot for a minute!)

    But I probably should get onto it, I cant leave that responsibility to the
    kids just yet...

    That's very probable, in the US I think Mothers day is also celebrated in
    May, Fathers day here I think is June 16 (and I think it's the same in the
    US).

    It's only morning tea time here, bit too soon for me good sir :)

    Well it's evening time somewhere around the world! =)

    Monday is rolling along already here. I'll beat it into submission for you!

    Thank you, kind sir... let's hope it doesn't try and fight back.

    Hmmmmm you got me at roast potatoes! I loooovvveeee roast potatoes! Get some nice thick grAvY and mmmm perfection. The "roasties" have to be crunchy on
    the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, though.

    I'm off next week, we're going to take my daughter up to my family's
    cabin and see if it's still in one piece. We have over 10 feet of snow,
    so I'll be digging tomorrow night to get to the front door!

    Ooh that sounds like a lot of fun. Cabins in the middle of nowhere are a
    great way to unwind. I miss doing that when I was in the US.

    Hope the snow digging goes quickly and you don't pull anything.

    Enjoy your week ahead.

    Sunday, 12 May apparently is your Mothers day, same as in the US. You have a while to jump on it before it becomes urgent =)

    I think you mean Monday evening. As for my Sunday, well, it was a good day. Started with a speed endurance session at the track - now the hard work prepping for the Nationals has begun. More to come tomorrow. :)

    The rest of the day say me participating in the city's first ever Pride Festival at the Queer Coffee catchup - kinda like what we do here, but in person. :) Lots of coffee and chat.

    Today was appointments, more coffee (with a friend this time), my exercise quota for Active April (a state government initiative) - today's exercise was a 45 minute leisurely walk.

    Back to work tomorrow - last week of school term. :)


    ... My kid wanted a watch for Christmas, so we let him.

    Same here in Oz Paul. The US has Mothers Day on the same day as us, but Fathers Day is earlier than ours.

    Yum. :) And yes, I do love brussels sprouts. :) Unfortunately, they haven't become available yet this year.

    Yeah. my wife taught me how to properly roast potatoes. She's english,
    I grew up on baked potatoes with sour cream but properly transitioned.


    ... Do you know where you are?

    I'm spoiled. I'm in agricultural country near the Pacific ocean, and
    we have local brussels sprouts, asparagus, artichokes and citrus and
    berries most of the year. They sell brussels sprouts still on the
    stalk at some places here, makes for quite an appearance.

    Nice. Agricultural land is a bit further out of town here. This is an area of very poor soil, one of the reasons so much forest survives on all sides, but to the south there's a lot of apple orchards, and further north, in the warmer riverine plains, you get citrus, with stone fruits to the NE of here. Our major export here in town was once gold, though there's still a very rich vein being mined not far out of town.


    ... Hope is a good breakfast, but a bad supper.

    That's interesting, does the same happen for "mother"?

    No. Eight in Chinese is "ba", so "ba-ba" is a homophone of the Chinese equivalent of "papa". "Mom" in Chinese is "ma", but there's no homophonous number.
