We headin’ to the dive bar we always thought was nice

Everyone that lives in this house is still here, we haven’t been raptured. So that’s a good thing. I watched the solar eclipse at work yesterday. It was pretty neat, if you ask me. And it killed a couple of minutes during a dead time. I took a few pictures of it. But like concert videos, I’ll probably never look at them again.

Up again at 4:30. It was a little easier today, but still a chore to roll out of bed and start the day. Chaucer got up with me. Pippin was asleep on the couch, but got up shortly after I started to turn the lights on.

It’s starting to get warmer outside. While the sun was out it was great. I didn’t have to wear a jacket or toque to go outside, but as the morning turned to afternoon, the clouds crept in. Thus, it started to cool off again. That’s one of the reasons that spring isn’t my favorite season; you never know how to dress.

And just think, I get to do it all over again tomorrow.

And, I can’t even nap. My mom is supposed to be around sometime this afternoon to pick up some mail, that I offered to walk up to her. Other than that, I think we’re pretty much all caught up.

You say you need a little of my ooh-la-la

Oh Rexy, you’re so sexy!

Welcome to Rex Manning Day 2024!

4:30 am sure came early this morning, but I got up and started the day. With the day started, and coffee consumed, I went off to work.

Work was a little busier than normal. Probably because we were closed yesterday. But we managed to get a lot done, cleaning wise.

Course I’m tired from the weekend, so I don’t have a lot to report on today. So I’ll just leave it at this.

Happy Rex Manning Day!

Oh yeah, also there was an eclipse today. Pictures tomorrow.

(Always leave em wanting more!)

Knocking me out with those American thighs

Good Sunday morning, my friends. It’s a bright, warmish day out in the real world. The coffee has been brewed, and is being consumed as I type this. So far, no cats are around us, but I’m sure that will change in a few moments.

Again, I slept like the dead. I slept on my left side most of the night, so my shoulder is hurting this morning. That’s ok, it’ll start to feel better as I prep for laundry day in a little while.

It’s that point in the spring time weather, that it’s slightly chilly at night, but warm in the morning. I may have to take a blanket off the bed, but I’ll talk to the executive, and see what we can do.

Chaucer just jumped up on the pirate chest. He’s looking for a lap to relax on. Mine. But I just want to get this post out, and go to the bathroom. At least, I want to finish a sentence before going.

Nothing much planned for today. Just the usual; chores, brunch, and Shady Acres for dinner. Nothing major, as the work week is just about to start. Happy Sunday y’all!

Midsomer Murders

So it’s been a while since I’ve talked about what I’m watching. We watch PlutoTv pretty much every night. Mostly to watch Antiques Roadshow. Well, there’s another channel on Pluto that interested me. But it’s a live channel, so I was always missing the beginning of the show – Midsomer Murders.

Midsomer Murders is a British “comfy police procedural”. The episodes are about an hour and a half each. It’s about two cops in Midsomer county, and they investigate murders in their area.

There’s a lot of murders. It’s on par with Murder, She Wrote for the body counts that tally up through out the episodes. I’m currently on series two. And I’m throughly enjoying the episodes that I’ve watched.

DCI Barnaby, and DS Troy.

The humour is pretty close to dad jokes, and those types of laughs. There’s a running joke now though out the two series that I’ve watched: DS Troy is a terrible driver.

I’m really enjoying what I’ve watched so far. The crimes are very complicated, and I haven’t guessed one killer yet. Probably because the episodes move very slowly, until they move quickly.

What’s your “comfy” British shows that you watch?
