I used to look
forward to reading my friend Diana H’s Ten Thoughts Tuesday. I haven’t seen her
online for a long, long time and wish her well. Anyway, here’s my contribution
if I can get my thoughts together.
One: Typical!
The weather is supposed to get better next week when I'm not here. I’ve heard people on the
internet saying that autumn is coming. We’re in the middle of yet another heat
wave, where it’s advisable to curb outdoor activities between 12 and 6 pm. Even
the old Spanish saying of feeling the cold on your face in August hasn’t
happened yet.
Two: My friends
and I are always laughing that I only have one channel on my telly. I’m not a
couch potato when it comes to television. Yesterday, for some reason, my ‘one’
channel and its affiliates went off the air. It finally re-appeared. I’m one of
those who still believe analog TV was better. At least you could blame it on the antena.
Three: Don’t you
hate it when you’re out and someone calls your house phone and doesn’t leave a
message? Oh well, probably a telemarketer.
Four: I’m
missing going to see how my little cat friend Sami is doing. One of her humans
has come back from holidays. I’m sure she’s relieved. She seemed more depressed
than usual and that’s that my friend’s brother-in-law is staying there.
Five: I’m
constantly reminded of how different my friends and I are in just about
everything. I suppose the one thing we agree on is the Chinese restaurant that
we usually go to and not because it has the best food.
Six: I hope this
will be my only negative thought for the day if I don’t count number one. My neighbour,
who has to be one of the most irritating persons on earth, said yesterday that
she was going to miss me when I go on holiday. I don’t enjoy being a nasty
person, but I just couldn’t say the same to her. I’m actually counting the
hours! I need some rest from her yada yada!
Seven: Yesterday
in one of the multiply groups someone posted
a ‘liar, liar pants on fire’ picture of a pair of underwear in flames.
When was the last time you used this expression?
Eight: Speaking
of multiply, I never saw a message stating that multiply had released the
source for the blogging part. I only saw (in the group with the pants on fire)
a poll for naming a new site.
Nine: I’m really
looking forward to trying out some of the recipes I’ve collected from the
facebook cooking group and the many FREE cookbooks I’ve got on my Kindle from
another group. One of the recipes I’ll definitely try this Seprember is called ‘Cheater’s
Lasagna'.
Ten: My photo
for this post is what I do with overly-ripe fruit like bananas in the summer.
With the heat, the fruit which can’t go in the fridge seems to ripen too
quickly as opposed to the winter when I’m wondering when the bananas are going
to go soft so I can make banana nut bread. I call this berry banana smoothie. I
put in some frozen raspberries, a strawberry yoghurt, some milk and the bananas.
Smoothies are great because they’re good with just about anything you put in
them.
So this is my
Ten Thoughts for today. I didn’t intend for the post to be so long. I doubt
that I’ll have much time to write anything more for a while though. Hope
everyone is having a good week.
