COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Me, too!!!
At least, I grind the beans, fill the machine with water and push the "on" button, but the machine is apparently on strike!!!
After Cracker Barrel will be a trip to purchase a new coffee machine before going home!

I mostly do instant now, i'm ashamed to say.
Though I do real coffee first thing in the morning most days.

My husband is a coffee snob !
He says instant coffee isn't real coffee!

I agree with hubby.
But am too lazy to make real coffee all the time.

For our UK contingent, Cracker Barrel is a national restaurant chain that is very "country."

Why is the place full of YANKS?

Good afternoon.
I just got in.
I'll catch up later.
It was pretty uneventful except for a highway J walking pedestrian, a feral hog standing in the fast lane and a semi truck driving at 75 mph with a rear wheel on fire.
Normal stuff.
1,165 miles covered to go to lunch with mom.

Hi, Ed.
Glad to know you're back safely.
It's a long way to go for luncheon.
Not much to catch up.
It's very quiet in here.

Going to try making a new recipe today: Nectarine Cardamom Crumble!
Of course it will require vanilla ice cream...

I'll be dipping in and out of hear whilst watching.
Goodnight!
Cos' it's Dan Evans afterwards.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

'here' whilst watching.
Murray's making a bit of a meal of it.
Crowd seem uninterested.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

First set tie-break.
It's going to be a long night.

Good evening/afternoon all.
Hope everyone's well.
Not too many posts to catch up tonight.
It has absolutely poured down here all day but still very warm.
I've been hoping for some thunder and lightning but none about.
I've lost all my tv channels though and can't get them back,so assuming theres a problem somewhere, not that I mind there's such rubbish on.

A quiet day in here.

But very stressful in tennis land! Dan got the first set. Andy's 2 sets to 1 up.

Yep, Andy's upped his game and his opponent is starting to look tired.
Excellent from Dan against the third seed.

It's a holiday weekend here in the US: Monday is Labor Day, so many people will be off work. Maybe folks are getting ready to barbecue or have visitors...

Getting ready to barbecue visitors ?
Or have them what ?
Is that traditional on Labour Day in the US ?

11.45pm
Andy's won
Dan at 1-1, but that could take another couple of hours yet.
I had a late night last night and have an early start tomorrow

Time for bed. Good luck Dan and good night all
