The technical issues with this site are infuriating.  Posts don’t post, can’t sign out, then can’t sign in 😡

What browser are you all using on your phone to access this site?  I typically post from my computer, using Window’s Edge browser, so that I can use a full size keyboard. When I occasionally post from my iPhone, I used to use the built in Safari browser (and never really had any problems) but now use the Edge browser for IOS (and don’t have any problems). I’m posting this from my iPhone. 
 

I’m guessing that your problems are related to the recent CC software upgrade. I’m probably just lucky that I haven’t seen these problems, but it could be related to the specific browser being used.

I bet yo are right. I don't have problems using my desktop but if I use my phone that's when I start having issues.

It was 66°F and sunny this morning at the beach where we had a picnic and ice cream.

It was quite breezy and several people had wind breaks erected on the beach.

We got home at 3pm and it started raining.

It was the last charter of Mediterranean series 4 on below deck and Jaou the bosun has been offered a captains position.

A new series starts tomorrow in the UK.

Stay safe everyone.

Graham.

I am thinking the same.  Early yesterday we all were locked out and we saw rockets 🚀 appear then disappear.  It seems many have had problems since then.  Posting from my iPad using safari I lost one post early after the update.  I haven’t notice anyone on other thread having problems.

And could I ask for Dani’s roast zucchini recipe again? 😋

 

You could and you get 🥰

 

Cut slices of ~1 cm [like in the picture], sprinkle with olive oil, add [DH doesn't) salt and pepper according to your taste. In the oven.

 

When they got brown spots, turn them until brown spots again. Enjoy !!

Yes I’m using Safari on my iPhone.  Is Edge just another browser app I would download?

Dani,

Did you take your booster shot today?
Hope you are not hurting too much? Warm and fuzzy  hugs just sent your way.

 

Thanks, hugs right back. How kind of you to remember 🥰 

 

Yes -- in the morning [top notch organized, BTW]. Tomorrow - DH's turn.

 

Arm hurts more than the last 2 shots.... They recommend only paracetamol for the pain, and I'm an Advil and Aspirin Bayer person....

 

I have a good book to keep me awake until I'll fall asleep 😟

What temp and for how long. I have to make these. They look amazing.

 

I omitted those since "your temperatures" differ from "ours"... so take it "with a grain of Celsius" 😉

 

DH puts the oven in the "grill" mode [high temperature coming from above], at about 200C.

 

Checks after ~10 mins. If brown spotted, turns them.

 

Those are the "basic" rules, see how it goes with your oven the 1st time.

I tried posting this afternoon, with a photo, and it did not post from my phone.  I did it two times and with no success.🤷‍♂️

A new farm work tool arrived yesterday. I found a dealer with a one available 1.5 hours away. They ordered it in January and it just arrived. If I ordered one today it would not arrive until March of next year. Amazingly they didn’t up-charge the unit. 

 

Our 2007 model will have a new home sooner than later. Landscapers we know need a “new to them” unit.  The shortage makes it a used sellers marketplace. 🙂

Hope you all are doing well.  I'm so sorry I haven't been able to be on at all.  I have a client that did a major acquisition and it has been hundreds of hours of work.  Luckily that means more cruises.  Hope to be able to talk with you all soon.  Be well, and if you've started cruising again, congrats.

Nice!  I imagine you get a lot of use out of it.  Even though we have no need for something like that with just under 1 acre of property, DH would love to have one.  Given the chance, I’m sure he’d try to justify it.

Today was a laid back day.  We did an overnight at a hotel after Kennywood, and enjoyed the pool and spa last night and this morning.  We had it to ourselves last night and this morning.

Lunch at Bahama Breeze was a half Cuban sandwich and some clam chowder.

Right now we are sitting at a concert, listening to a band playing tropical music with steel drums.  A lot of people here. Oh how it makes me long for a cruise.

Oh how I love steel drum music and Cuban sandwiches.  If you can’t be on a cruise, those are not a bad backup!

I would love to have one of them and hide it from the DH - LOL!

We had easy hot dogs for dinner, and it’s nice to not be eating in the front seat of a car going from “A to B”.  

 

I guess you could say I stopped to smell the flowers.  Speaking of flowers maybe it’s time for a garden update. These hydrangeas are almost 7’ tall.

Lavender is in bloom.

Oak leaf hydrangeas are starting to change color.

And the queen is amongst her glory.
