Neat shots there Charlie. Almost as if you know what you're doing with that camera...

Thanks Bert, even if it is the camera_that_must_not_be_named

Personally, I've never used 'chesterfield' or kleenex. Regional differences, as well as having a more Scots/English vocabulary than Canadian.

Mum was from Lethbridge but she probably got Chesterfield from her Irish mum or English Dad

I thought the shots were decent, at best.

Yep, only decent. Now if they had been taken with a suitable camera, and not an evil Hocir one, then they may well have been jolly good!

Now for breakfast, should I have bacon or should I have bacon?

Yes many folks say Skidoo but most people who drive snowmobiles tend to just call them "sleds".

Sledheads.

Driving day for me today. Drive 150 miles (241 km) to Watertown, NY. Pick up grandchildren from school and drive them to their home. Babysit for three hours or so then drive 150 miles back home. Well worth it because grandkids are the greatest invention ever! My little grandson has already told me that he has made 15 presents for me for Christmas so it looks like a banner year for me.

That is extra awesome George!

Mrs. Racer is picking up the oldest grandson today at SeaTac. He is flying up from college in Arizona, to spend the holidays with us.

Mum used to call a sofa a Chesterfield and, well, we all say Kleenex here instead of tissue.

Davenport.

Couch.

Sofa.

Divan.



A place that a man sleeps when he is in the doghouse.

Here we have two common brands, Tylenol and Advil, and I can never remember which one is acetaminophen/paracetamol and which one is ibuprofen.

Tylenol is acrtaminophen.

Bad ju ju.

Spit it out.

Now for breakfast, should I have bacon or should I have bacon?

I’m thinking you should have the bacon, Bert.

[bertwert]

I’m thinking you should have the bacon, Bert.

And so I did.

Nothing beats a lazy morning and a proper breakfast.

This made me curious, so I googled.

"Between the late 16th and early 18th centuries, Britain began to claim more territories and colonies around the globe, forming what would be known as the British Empire. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Empire reached its peak, with almost a quarter of the world’s population under its rule. As frontiers were expanded, the British took their society and fashions with them as they exported their values to the rest of the world.

Wherever the British went, they brought along their favourite furniture, including the Chesterfield. Soon, it wasn’t uncommon to see these sofas in locations as widespread as Canada, India, and Australia, where it began to imbed itself as a global style icon. A good example of this is in Canada, where the style was so commonplace that the term ‘Chesterfield’ was used to describe a sofa of any style, even if it was completely different to a true Chesterfield. The word is still used today, though it is expected to eventually be replaced in the lexicon by the more popular American word ‘couch’."

We'll have to disagree over the breakfast, I fear, can't stand baked beans on the same plate. They make everything taste of beans&sauce, which is a terrible waste of good bacon, not to mention mushrooms, fried/grilled tomato, SAUSAGES, potato scone, soda scone and a fresh egg or two. Oh, and proper coffee!

Now I'm wishing it was morning again...

[Racer X 69]

And so I did.

Nothing beats a lazy morning and a proper breakfast.

Looks good young man.

But.

Could use a few more slices of bacon.

Yep.

More bacon.

To your credit though, looks like the bacon is cooked just about right. Cooked, but not crispy.

Oh yeah.
