As do I.
Anything good?

Didn’t really browse, some claimed to be unusual colors of vinyl. Lacking anything to play them on, I just thought “hmmm, didn’t expect to ever see this again” and snapped a couple of pictures.

Things that weird me out:
-
A musical group with a significant percentage of members having Japanese ancestry. They call the group Hiroshima.
-
One of the silly phone games I play, EatVenture, has the player running a restaurant. New employees, like new kitchen equipment, arrive in packing crates.
One time I printed out the entire Phar-Mor supply list, and on the last page was “Pallet 56 employees”. I almost put that in one order, to see if I got 56 people shrinkwrapped, and stuck on a pallet.
Read lots, hugs and vibes for those who need them.
We did a change of scenery for the first part o the week, as part of our vacation. Today is going to the bank in the bigger town, so we can exchange the 20 and 50 pound notes before they become worthless at the end of September. Banks are generally not open here on Saturday, which makes it a bit annoying if you need something other than cash from the machine.
Plus some shopping, which could be done on a Saturday, but this means we can avoid the “crowds”. Tourist numbers are still down from pre-Covid, plus a lot of places can’t get enough workers, so restaurants and some shops have reduced hours. Even our local bakery closes at 12:30 on Saturdays, instead of being open until 5.
Did a load of delicates yesterday and hung them on the drying rack. Something was weird, because this morning they did not smell good. They are again in the wash, but with a different detergent. Hope that helps.
Still have to finish unpacking, but I have a big case of dontwanna. Also need to reserve two rental cars for our trip to the U.S. That’ll take some cash.
Positive thoughts and hope everyone tests negative.
Buddy showed up about five minutes before DH got up. As usual, he’s being a noisy pain in the tail when I dare to try to go to bed.
Hopefully, we can ransom the car today. Unless something else comes up.
It’s considerably more expensive than driving, takes longer, and we wouldn’t be able to take Higgs. The train trip itself is close to 17 hours. Then you add driving from our house to the station in Lorton, arriving however early is required to get the car loaded, then getting the car back in Sanford and still having to drive to Ocala, which is another hour anna half away. So, no, we didn’t even consider it.
Bladder woke me at 4 and that was that. It’s now 5 and I’ve tended the critters and fed my face, and caffeination is nearly complete, tho the early rising means more caffeine may be in order. Temps are supposed to be low 80s today, but we’ll probably have similar numbers for humidity, so that won’t be pleasant. Tomorrow morning is forecast to be low 70s, which would be perfect for mowage, depending on humidity. Regardless, we have to mow before we go. Dammit.
I’ll need to do a couple of loads of laundry before we go - that’ll probably happen tomorrow, too. Along with the run to the convenience center. Sheesh - too much to do tomorrow, but since I’ve got the kids today, there’s no choice. Plus I’d like to get a couple of tickets for the billion dollar lottery drawing tonight - ya never know… (yeah, I know… but I can dream.)
And so it begins, way too early. Happy Firday!!
BTW:
HAPPY SWAMPY DAY!!!
MWAH, you old geezer!!! 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 93 and partly N.O.S. for the day. Since I have, indeed, made another trip ‘round the sun, JDD and Partner are comin’ over later this mornin’ to commemorate said trip. We shall hang at the cee-mint pond, be silly, day drink, and feast upon burgers 'n fixin’s and cheesecake with strawberries. OYKW made the cheesecake yestiddy. I am sure I have mentioned this before, but he makes a really, really, really, good, dense New Yawk style cheesecake, so YUM!
MOOOOOOM thanks for the bday wish. I love ya almost as much as I love my luggage, ya old broad!
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Happy Firday Y’all!
Afternoon, mumpers! It’s 21c/69f with a predicted high of 22c/71f and mostly cloudy. Weather app says “It’s a great fucking beach day if you hate people. There probably isn’t anyone at the beach today”…except it’s sunny and there are lots of blue patches up there.
Happy Swampy Day 
Sounds like you have the ideal birthday planned!
I have read lots and retained little, still kinda sad about the death of Bernard Cribbins, he was definitely the voice of my childhood long before his later appearances in Dr Who. This one was always a favourite Right, said Fred along with Hole in the Ground 
Off to play with spreadsheets and shared mailboxes again…the joy!
Happy birthday Swampy
I haz a very jealous.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. I’m going to do some laundry, and repaint the kitchen rage hood today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWAMPY
#Happy bidet bday, Swampy!
Woke up to a kneemail from El Jefe.He wrote that he’d felt like he had a Summer cold the last couple of days. You know where this is going. He tested positive for The Plague last night. Yesterday was Office Cleanup Day, followed by grilled hot dogs. I’d planned on going to the orifice even though my office is tidy, just to help everyone else; but as you know, events made that problematic. So I was not exposed, but everyone else may have been.
Happy Birthday Swampy!
seanette, vinyl began to make a comeback ~15 years ago and many artists are now making stipulations in their contracts that their work must be produced on it. Sometimes, they even premier albums that way.
Up, caffeinating, breakfasted, a load of towels and sheets ready for the dryer and fixing to clean house. It was raining when I came home from irk yesterday, so no dog park then. It was raining again when I got up this morning (and is still sprinkling), so no dog park for my rambunctious little guy. Maybe this afternoon.
Stay safe and healthy y’all!
After a morning of crawling, piano playing, visiting Grandpa, and splashing in the tub, the Tobester slurped down about 5oz of formula and he’s now crashed. He cracked me up earlier today - I saw him crawling towards the critter’s water fountain, and I said NO! He immediately started crawling faster! OMG, they get contrary early!!
Anyway, hoping for a little peace for a while.
Morning all. Did pedal in one place at the gym last night for about 45 minutes, then came home to a nice hot bath so slept pretty well last night. Paper has been brought in and pill taken, so the morning chores are done. Somebody hasn’t been out to reset the tile in my floor yet, so since I have banking to do, will stop by the place and ask about it. Also swimmin’ is in the plan, so we’ll see when I can get that done.
A most Happy and Celebrated Birthday to you, swampy. Enjoy.
flyboy, guess your accident may have been fortuitous, in a way…but I do hope Boss and cow-orkers will be fine.
Dicey, didn’t know the English were updating their currency like that; if it was the USA, be the top story of the day.
red, even when bosses try to do something nice, they so often get it wrong…hope they read your e-mail and revise future lunches (instead of taking it out on you…)
OK, some quick internettin’ and then forage for sustenance before heading out. All y’all take care.
Happy Swampy Day!
Even the weather’s celebrating - it’s warm and muggy. 
Happy birthday Swampy. Hope you have a wonderful day eating and day drinking.
