I Just Had Me Some Nice Cinnamon Toast

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (66706) • United States 3 Aug

Without the sugar though. It tastes just as good, as cinnamon is sweet in itself to me. Nice with the Kerrygold butter. I am ticked though that I have to eat at all in the morning. Before this illness, I never had to eat...

I’m Still OK Can you get Kerrygold butter over there? It’s Irish butter, to be sure. I love toast and I love cinnamon but usually I have jam on my toast. Cinnamon is great with apple but apple on toast? Doesn’t seem right, does it?

Anyone Seen This Type of Heater Before?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (66706) • United States 1 Aug

I have not but apparently they are very old from the 40s. And this is what will be heating the new place. Yes it is a very old building built 1940. Charming, but you know old. I am not sure if they are electric or gas is what I...

I’m Still OK Looks like a hot air vent from a communal boiler? Are you one of many in an apartment block? You need to know how it works and if it’s sufficient to keep you warm, plus cost to run.

Strange Escapes Ghost Hunting

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (66706) • United States 3 Aug

The Paranormal Companies have a lot of fans. Would you like to go on one of these trips to ghost hunt? These companies have the 'celebrity' ghost hunters from the various paranormal shows to accompany anyone who wants to pay for...

I’m Still OK There are a number of ghost-hunting tv shows on over here. Always dark and poor quality pictures designed to confuse you. There’s no such thing as ghosts, so I wouldn’t pay good money to go. BOO!!!...

Bakey With Boyfie

YoghurtGal @flapiz (17790) • United Kingdom 2 Aug

Today we baked mint chocolate chip cookies with a drizzle of white chocolate. We also put some cashew nuts on some of them. They turned out pretty great. This will serve as boyfriend's breakfast as he starts work early at 6 AM....

I’m Still OK Cookies look great! With the price of energy going up as it is you might have to make do with cold pressed oat cookies. I’ve made a few in my time and they turn out ok.

Coffee, folding, mylot

C @ShyBear88 (54242) • United States 16 Jul

This morning and as of right now, I’m driving some coffee, just finished folding a basket of clothes yay! I also was able to put in a few minutes on here while I folded the clothes and sipped on my very hot coffee. Multitasking...

The canola crops are looking good this year

Judy Evans @JudyEv (282445) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Aug

We have just moved into the last month of winter in Western Australia and, on the farms, the crops are looking very healthy. The riders at the last endurance ride had some wonderful farm tracks to ride on and, as you can see, the...

I’m Still OK We call this rapeseed or oilseed rape. I’ve never heard the name Canola. The flowers appear late spring here and affects my breathing when I pass the fields. We are growing more and more of this in the UK for the oil. Looks fabulous when in full bloom....

Too Many Girls in the Family?

Diana Bauder @BloggerDi (2888) • United States 1 Aug

The photo is me with my four granddaughters. It was taken a few months ago. The girls were 9, 5, 5 and 3 at the time. And no, I don't believe there is such a thing as "too many" of one gender in any family. Every person is a...

Feeding Seagulls

YoghurtGal @flapiz (17790) • United Kingdom 3 Aug

I had some left over food so yesterday my boyfriend and I set out to feed it to our friendly neighbourhood gulls in St. Peter Port. This also serves as an excuse to get me walking and exercising my ankle. Initially we couldn't...

I’m Still OK Be careful feeding seagulls in the UK as it is banned in some places. The RSPB recommend not feeding them as they can become a pest and health and safety risk.

The Real Italian Pizza

YoghurtGal @flapiz (17790) • United Kingdom 28 Jul

The "Real Italian Pizza" for lunch followed by "The Real Italian Gelato" for dessert. It is a place in Bath owned and run by real Italians. The perks of an Italian boyfriend is getting to eat Italian cuisine a lot. And it is...

I’m Still OK I like pizza on occasions but it’s not the healthiest of meals. Bread and cheese? You don’t maintain a racing snake physique by eating bread and cheese. Same goes for ice cream really. If it’s tasty it’s bad for you! God’s punishment.

Scenery, Fun And Romance (MyLot Exclusive #1037)

Greg @xander6464 (35247) • Wapello, Iowa 30 Jul

When it comes to vacations and/or dating, are you starting to feel that everything is a rerun? Not that there's anything wrong with reruns but there comes a point in most people's lives when the desire for something at least a...

I’m Still OK I’ve not heard of pedal-powered rail experiences here in the UK but it sounds like fun if you’ve got the legs for it. Not something I think I’d try now at my age. I prefer steam trains and there are lots of these heritage type railways here and getting ever...

I made a decision to retire from running sound for live bands in late 2019, and made an agreement with someone to buy my sound equipment January 20th, 2020. Then COVID happened. 15 months and 5 day later, the guy...

Will I survive?

Toni @toniganzon (69680) • Philippines 31 Jul

I definitely won't. Saw this limited series on Netflix about a private plane crashing and there was a lone survivor. A woman. Alone in the middle of nowhere, she tried to find a way to get rescued. If I was her, I wouldn't...

Mad Queen Crane

YoghurtGal @flapiz (17790) • United Kingdom 27 Jul

This is a Grey Crowned Crane. She is quite a beauty to behold. I thought we had an understanding until she pecked my finger while I was trying to take a photo. It wasn't painful though. What a lovely personality. Definitely my...

More blocking mylotters here than usual. How about you?

SS @moonandstars (60379) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 29 Jul

In three months or so, I had blocked three mylotters. Maybe four. I am aware we come from different countries and background but I don't need rudeness and negativity here. I also don't want to understand that or relate to those...

I’m Still OK I’ve been here a long time and never blocked anyone. I have been blocked by a few and never knew why as it’s hard to find out. My sense of humour isn’t always understood, so I put it down to that. I appreciate people from all over the world...

It's Hard Monday, Ya Beatniks! (MyLot Exclusive #1022)

Greg @xander6464 (35247) • Wapello, Iowa 18 Jul

There's been another tragic accident. I was power washing the fish cleaning table---Before I go on, I need to say that I don't fish. But this place is just about perfect for those who do. I'm less than a mile away from the...

I’m Still OK I hate having to deal with fish, especially preparing it to eat or cleaning up after prep/eating. You have to wear gloves for preparation and get any leftovers from prep/eating well away from your locality asap, and I don’t mean in the kitchen bin. In fact,...

Day 2 Sprain

YoghurtGal @flapiz (17790) • United Kingdom 21 Jul

Passion Position #1 (MyLot Exclusive #847)

Greg @xander6464 (35247) • Wapello, Iowa 27 Jan

Wimbledon Men's Final Tennis Match is on tonight

Judy Evans @JudyEv (282445) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Jul

We don’t watch a lot of sport, hardly any at all really but I might stay up late tonight to watch the final of the men’s tennis at Wimbledon. It promises to be a really fiery match and there is an Australian playing. His name is...

Air flights aren't what they used to be

Judy Evans @JudyEv (282445) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Jul

My daughters graduation party was so stressful

I’m Still OK Sounds like a National Lampoons movie. That’s a lot of people to cater for. More like a wedding than a graduation. I am sure when you would look back in later years it won’t seem so bad. Did your daughter enjoy it? That’s the main thing.
