My dad, (the Scot), always told me, "People are the same all over. They love, they hurt, they laugh, they cry." Well, seems like we all cruise around during a pandemic. We also get into our car and drive up town. Wishing you folks a Merry Christmas!
Shaun when my daughter was in Dental Hygiene school they cultured the tops of beverage cans. It was unbelievable what showed up. The cans tested positive for Staph, Strep and several different bacteria’s. It is frightening what we are all exposed to on a daily basis. I love your content. I have followed your channel since the early Outlander days. I look forward to it because things are so wacky now in the US. Also love your insomnia content. Thank you!
Thank you, Shaun, for the trip through Edinburgh now. We spent a month in Edinburgh in a vacation apartment at 2 Leopold Place near the corner of London Rd and Elm Row in March 2019 for the Edinburgh Yarn Festival at the Corn Exchange. I remember we found a pub north of George St where the waitresses’ Scottish accent was so hard for me to understand that we asked for a taste of a few beers, then just pointed to the ones we wanted! I love Edinburgh 🥰
Wow! great start with thundersnow! Edinburgh is such a beautiful city, regardless of the conditions and personally, I love to see it regardless of what you are doing! 😉 Take us on a tour, by car or on foot... I'll stick with you and watch the whole thing! 👀 Thanks Shaun - love from Denmark 🌸💕
I enjoyed that little taste of blustery, cold winter weather in Scotland! Sunny and around 70 degrees here in Texas today, like a nice Spring day. I've got a little shiver going on---watching you face into those cold winds in your parka. Take care, and go find a cozy fire somewhere :)
This must be the first time ever we have not visited Edinburgh or glasgow Christmas time ....and also Fenwick newcastle Christmas window ...well folks hope you still enjoy what you can of christmas...from over the border in cumbria. ..
Melody - Yeah, cruisin for burgers in Daddy's new car, as Frank Zappa once sang. It was a 'go to' tradition when I was a teen, in the late '60s, early '70s - and even when I was a little older too. Actually, my wife and I still do it, but not as often, just aimlessly wandering in our car, for no reason but kismet.
@@arianaajbeaverhausen8175 - We use that phrase here in NY, quit liberally, as well. I'll tell you tho, it's been a long time since I've heard the word 'skelped' used, but I get it, by my elders, as in 'mind yourself, or you'll get skelped'. I know there are many uses of the word, but in my world, it meant a slapped ass, whether the business of correcting a child (as a parent) or of the pleasure to create that demise (as a parent), ironically. Apparently.
Wild Shaun! Man of the North Seas! And Edinburgh is a beautiful city, anyway, even with just a few Christmas lights. Maybe sometime you can do a vid highlighting some of the statues and their history. It's unusual in the US to have so many, even on rooftops, in the parks, near St. Giles, etc. Just lovely. Thanks for the tour! And the UK has a vaccine, now. It'll be interesting to see how that pans out. Cheers and good health to you! 👍🏻💛😊
You ain't seen nothing yet. Experience a New England nor'easter blizzard. That's fun. Four feet of snow, sometimes mixing with rain, sleet, or ice. Now you're talking. When the world is back to normal, I hope you'll visit us, especially January and February.
Ugh I live in New Hampshire, the northeaster we got over the weekend knocked out my power for almost a full 24 hours, the worst part is that I have well water which is normally awesome because it's really good water but it's awful when the power goes out because no power equals no water. Just to top things off one of the cell towers near my house went down so I had no power no water and no cell service, so the nice expensive power bank I have to charge my phone for just such an occasion was totally useless
I have friends who live in Edinburgh. We met when I was over doing a study abroad in Aberdeen. Each time I’ve left, we have a joke saying that I left another part of my heart there. It’s been about 8 years since I’ve been able to visit. Watching this literally has me tearing up some and then you just mentioned the Dome!! I literally shouted outloud OMG! I love the Dome!! It’s so beautiful inside!! I paused the video just to type this out and send the link to my friend over there. Thank you so much! It’s nice not feeling so far away from people and places we wish we could be with and in. 💙💜
I just mentioned Brew Dog to my sister who lives in Canal Winchester (town outside of Columbus). She said she knows it well and her husband is a share holder. Brew Dog has a hotel with tap lines that run into the rooms. The next time you can travel to the States, you'll have to come to Ohio.
I really enjoyed today's video. I live in Ohio, about 2 to 2 and a half hours, north of Columbus. I'll have to remember about the brewery there and take my husband. Stay safe!
I wipe things down with lysol wipes and spray packages, mail, etc with lysol, even my clothes and shoes when I get home from getting essentials or from my walks. Glad to see you and Teka are doing well and I pray you both along with your family stay healthy. God bless you, Shaun and Teka. 🌷💜🙏🙃
Gosh! I wish I was in Edinburgh right now. We are from Georgia, USA and we love Scotland so much. It was our dream to visit every year, but we had to skip 2020😭 Thanks so much for sharing all you adventures and even the everyday things. It makes us feel closer to Scotland.
It's nice to see other places since traveling isn't safe for some of us yet. Thank you! Would love to see more wandering around vids Opening the can tab with your teeth gave me chills! I saw the hoopla about your storm. Funny thing...I lived 22yrs right below Mt Lassen and we had thundersnow several times each winter. Only recently have I learned it is considered rare!
Can always count on The Dome for some Christmas magic ✨ So sad not seeing the extra lights, Christmas market or the big wheel etc all lit up 💔 A couple of years ago my sister and I went to a silent Christmas disco on George Street and it was a lot of fun with everyone dancing together (in the freezing cold!) and all festive. Hopefully we'll just love and appreciate everything even more next year!
@@dobiebloke9311 A silent disco is where everyone listens to the music (Christmas music in this case) collectively through wireless headphones instead of through a larger, open speaker system. They are good fun and you don't even mind looking slightly odd to passers by who can't hear the music you're all listening and dancing away to together 💃🎧😂
Absolutely epic flat tour, Shaun. I really enjoy just hearing you discuss what’s going on in your life and your future plans and such. Brilliant editing too! The time lapse bit was grand. You work quite hard on your videos and it shows. Stay positive, brother. 🌟
There's always opportunity even in lockdown. Just get out and explore around you. You'll never know what will happen that will be great on here. One day during the summer I was in New York City at about mid day. Was heading back to New Jersey when it hit me to record what I was seeing. It turned into an interesting video about what it was like being there. Many here watch you because of you not just the content. Have fun and lets see what happens. We'll be watching anyway.
Anheuser-Busch also built a huge regional bottling plant in Columbus, Ohio. Not only is the water quality reasonably good for brewing, but the aquifer is huge so they have access to mass quantities of water. Apparently brewing is a very water-intensive industry.
Bonnie Roberts - I'm right with you. Most people duck and cover, but I just put on the appropriate gear and then wallow in it, immune from the cold or wet. Still, I'm in the middle of it, which I find not only fascinating, but usually quite private as well, but for the rare other soul as we. I love going down to the docks in about 14F degrees, with a stiff wind, and having the whole place to myself, being completely immune. Ironic, in these pandemic times. PS - even tho I am from NY, I know Virginia Beach, and various parts of the coast, pretty well.
I went to Scotland last year for my 40th birthday present! It was absolutely stunning and you Scots are the friendliest people! God bless you in Jesus name! May he keep you safe and sound!
Kimberly Graham - First of all, agreed. However, groovy? Either you are dating yourself or the word is making a comeback. Even Paul Simon barely got away with it, and I've been on the 59th Street Bridge, far too many times to count. BTW, it is groovy. It always means I'm either going to Manhattan, or going home, both, groovy things.
I cannot wait for this pandemic to be over with. I'm going to miss seeing all the things you do for Christmas and New year's. Last year's was fantastic.
Shaun....it's not grim here where I live in Texas. Everything's open, lit up beautifully, and lively. Too bad you're not here. Did you say y'all aren't allowed to leave the town??? Whaaaat?! Oh my....that sounds like California over here... I'm so sorry. I wish you and your lovely wife to have a super duper private little Merry Christmas. Love and hugs from Texas!
2:00. That reminds me of Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts & Hampton Beach, New Hampshire where I live in the US. The winter time is just insane with wind gusts. There was a movie called "The Perfect Storm" (starring Mark Wahlberg & George Clooney) back around 1999. The harbor that the boats left from are 20 minutes from my house. Gloucester, Massachusetts is the same waterway as Salisbury, MA & Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.
Sylvia Smith (Charlie and Jane as well) - Wow, We get thundersnow here in NY, about once every several years, but never 19 inches of it, altho we do get some heavy snows, of the normal sort. Generally, I love the snow. It quites down the world. It keeps people home and cozy and neighbors more united as we help each other shovel our driveways or to tend a fallen tree or so.
@@janewolfe9137 - Here too (NY), it looks like we are in for another mild winter. We haven't even hit a freezing temperature yet, which is odd for this time of year, but this has been becoming more common.
My wife and I are from Mississippi and found your channel a few years ago (maybe 2017?). We had just gotten back from our first trip to Scotland. Went back in June 2018 and October 2019. We were hoping to return in summer 2020... and now maybe summer 2021 but that still looks dim with COVID restrictions on Americans. My wife and I have both had it and have antibodies. I hope that Scotland or the UK will develop a COVID addendum to the passport for those that have been vaccinated and/or those who don't have the infection and have antibodies. We love Edinburg and watching you go various places in Scotland. We hope to come hike the West Highland Way. It is on our bucket list. Keep up the Vlog work. You are doing great.
I chuckled at you opening the beer. If your nails weren’t so short (bitten?) it wouldn’t be a problem. I’m a fan of Brew Dog. If you’re the designated driver their Nanny State alcohol free is the only alcohol free beer worth drinking.
Thank you shaun for taking us for a little trip down the city center ❤️ i miss walking down thoes streets, my heart aches so much to be back in your beautiful city !
Edinburgh still looks beautiful, Shaun! Thank you for sharing! I miss traveling and this video brings back great memories of spending a few nights in your lovely city!
Sadly, I'm not available today. I've got an audio production project due tomorrow. Have a good night. Loved the beach scene and tour of your office studio.
Use a spoon to pull up the tab the next time it doesn’t cooperate. Works great and saves your teeth. :). You had some pretty intense weather there. We had a hurricane here in September. I have been in quite a few of them but this was the first time the weather was cool instead of blistering hot afterwards. Which was nice since we didn’t have power for a week. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
We got thunder snow here on the east coast a year or two ago, Shaun. It's a strange thing. We've gone from good numbers to one of the worst spots in the world here. Of course, we do more daily testing than any other state, too. So we have a similar lockdown. One of our two Fulbrights for this year has a birthday next werk, as do I. We won't be able to go to a restaurant for dinner together, as we're not from the same household. To keep them busy, we've gone to the ocean yesterday (with masks on) and it looked pretty much like the beach here. Sunny today, though. All we can do is run errands with them, drive them around checking out Christmas lights at houses and the local shrine. Thanks for taking us along on your "online stuff" this weekend!
Hey Shaun, glad you're still putting out vids! Btw your American star should be rotated one more point widdershins. The point at 12:00 should be at 10:00.
I am happy to watch any videos in Scotland, I love it!! I love when you visit places I saw when I went to Scotland in 2016, brings back fond memories. Like the Scott Monument! Also, here's a tip, use a spoon handle to open cans! Take care Shaun!
Nice video. I bought that exact same chair for Christmas for my grandson last year. He loves it. He's an an illustrator who had a TH-cam channel with 94k subscribers. He has recently switched to a different platform. But that chair is an amazing comfort. I love the couch. And I love you.
This makes me so sad. I love watching the Live Stream of Edinburgh festivities. Thanks for your video. We get Thundersnow in Oklahoma, USA sometimes... it's strange.
Don't comment much on your videos. But always watching! Love your content. Want to visit one day but probably won't. If you ever come to Alabama would love to meet you and your wife. And please don't open beer with your teeth OMG! Love you!💕
Shaun I haven't left my apartment complex in a year! Seeing you going about your business is awesome! Yes I am desperate for normal. That place with the Christmas lights was amazing. Keep on keeping on!
Heather deAvalon - Oh, so you were shut in before it was fashionable? Please take that kindly, as most of the rest of the world has now discovered that which you otherwise live with daily, and they are chaffing at the bit. I have friends and family who are in your situation, so I do not take it lightly. All the best of hope to you.
Thank you Shaun! I will always watch any video you do, because you are wonderful! Where is your Scottish 🏴? Put up some Christmas decorations.. You'll feel better. Believe me, after sitting here for months on end, a video from you is like a present! Weird weather! Sending you and Teka love! Merry Christmas! God Jul! 💕🎄⛄🦌
Hazy Jane almost sounds like a shandy. Had a bit of Belhaven Wee Heavy at Hogmanay 😊 I like a good dark, thick heavy as a sidecar to a peated malt, like Caol Ila.
Same here Shaun.....nothing happening in Toronto. Very sad😕 Toronto in lockdown as well but there are quite a few Christmas lights to brighten things up🎆 which helps lighten the mood. Quite an epic storm I thought the wind was going to take you away Shaun🌬 We have quite a dumping of snow in Northern Ontario already❄❄❄ Your place is beautiful! Love Edinburgh. Can't wait to get back. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Shaun & Teka 🇨🇦❤
always love your content and your personality is outstanding. Thank you for all you do Sean. How 'bout a few Whiskey distillery tours when the world gets back to being open? After all, Scotland makes the best on the planet.
Here in North Carolina we now have a nighttime CURFEW! 10:00 PM till 5:00 AM! So we can’t even drive around and look for Christmas lights and decorations! Our governor has lost his mind! It’s going to be an interesting weekend! Love your videos!
I appreciate you're washing anything that goes into our home. My wife does the something when we have to go grocery shopping. Stay safe! Hint: If you can't open it, you're too young to drink it!
Kristi Beverley- Agreed, altho nowadays, I put things in the sink and just spray them down with hydrogen peroxide. In ten minutes or so, anything living is dead and all that is left is 'pure water'. It's probably even cheaper to do than soap and warm water, and as well, much easier, and even more effective.
Sorry if you may have already seen this videos as part of yesterday’s live stream. I had to delete it and start again due to a glitch. Thank you :)
Shaun, if you need an opener I can send you one from Saint Louis, Missouri USA, where Anheiser Busch, inc is located. 🤣😂😅
I tried to watch the video from yesterday and you had taken it down. So glad you posted today!
Isn't life interesting 😁 Even in a crisis you keep me coming back
You keep it real 💯
Gine ill Wait
Don't even worry about it with content. We will watch anything you put out (even if it's boring) to help support your channel through the lock downs.

Shaun when my daughter was in Dental Hygiene school they cultured the tops of beverage cans. It was unbelievable what showed up. The cans tested positive for Staph, Strep and several different bacteria’s. It is frightening what we are all exposed to on a daily basis. I love your content. I have followed your channel since the early Outlander days. I look forward to it because things are so wacky now in the US. Also love your insomnia content. Thank you!
Thank you, Shaun, for the trip through Edinburgh now. We spent a month in Edinburgh in a vacation apartment at 2 Leopold Place near the corner of London Rd and Elm Row in March 2019 for the Edinburgh Yarn Festival at the Corn Exchange. I remember we found a pub north of George St where the waitresses’ Scottish accent was so hard for me to understand that we asked for a taste of a few beers, then just pointed to the ones we wanted! I love Edinburgh 🥰
We get thunder-snow here in the U.S. Midwest, too. I love thunderstorms - the Best weather for sleeping!
Yep...like a good ol' Texas thunderstorm....great napping weather. ;-)
I miss snowfall. Watching the lightning and ice fall...it's oddly comforting.
Roger Quarton - I get it. My only regret is that we don't have a tin roof, but such is progress. If I ever build a house, it will have one.
eveytime! Or reading, but mostly napping for me. Or a good movie.
@@karentucker2161 - If you mean a tin roof, I agree, for the lot of it.
Wow! great start with thundersnow!
Edinburgh is such a beautiful city, regardless of the conditions
and personally, I love to see it regardless of what you are doing! 😉
Take us on a tour, by car or on foot...
I'll stick with you and watch the whole thing! 👀
Thanks Shaun - love from Denmark 🌸💕
I enjoyed that little taste of blustery, cold winter weather in Scotland! Sunny and around 70 degrees here in Texas today, like a nice Spring day. I've got a little shiver going on---watching you face into those cold winds in your parka. Take care, and go find a cozy fire somewhere :)
This must be the first time ever we have not visited Edinburgh or glasgow Christmas time ....and also Fenwick newcastle Christmas window ...well folks hope you still enjoy what you can of christmas...from over the border in cumbria. ..
Love this city so much! We're missing Edinburgh Christmas too - but happy to be here making videos :)
Such a beautiful city........lol.......here in the states we call driving around like that cruising........teen use to do it every weekend years ago
Melody - Yeah, cruisin for burgers in Daddy's new car, as Frank Zappa once sang. It was a 'go to' tradition when I was a teen, in the late '60s, early '70s - and even when I was a little older too. Actually, my wife and I still do it, but not as often, just aimlessly wandering in our car, for no reason but kismet.
Your comment makes me feel old, that's what people did, called drag the Main.
Growing up in Scotland my dad used to say "you're cruising for a bruising" when we were in danger of a skelped erse! 😂
@@arianaajbeaverhausen8175 - We use that phrase here in NY, quit liberally, as well.
I'll tell you tho, it's been a long time since I've heard the word 'skelped' used, but I get it, by my elders, as in 'mind yourself, or you'll get skelped'.
I know there are many uses of the word, but in my world, it meant a slapped ass, whether the business of correcting a child (as a parent) or of the pleasure to create that demise (as a parent), ironically. Apparently.

Shaun....it's not grim here where I live in Texas. Everything's open, lit up beautifully, and lively. Too bad you're not here.
Did you say y'all aren't allowed to leave the town??? Whaaaat?! Oh my....that sounds like California over here... I'm so sorry.

Such a crazy storm!! We just had our first snow flurries here in New Jersey this afternoon :)
Jen Crecelius - We had them on Long Island too, but I suppose that's not unexpected. Still, it was great to see, however brief.
Hang in there Shaun. This will eventually pass. We will keep supporting your channel, just keep making videos.
We had thunder snow when I lived in Springfield Missouri and we got 19 inches.
Must have been a storm we had in Indiana except we got over 2 feet Im sure lake affect from the Great Lakes

Use a spoon to pull up the tab the next time it doesn’t cooperate. Works great and saves your teeth. :). You had some pretty intense weather there. We had a hurricane here in September. I have been in quite a few of them but this was the first time the weather was cool instead of blistering hot afterwards. Which was nice since we didn’t have power for a week. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
We got thunder snow here on the east coast a year or two ago, Shaun. It's a strange thing.
We've gone from good numbers to one of the worst spots in the world here. Of course, we do more daily testing than any other state, too. So we have a similar lockdown. One of our two Fulbrights for this year has a birthday next werk, as do I. We won't be able to go to a restaurant for dinner together, as we're not from the same household. To keep them busy, we've gone to the ocean yesterday (with masks on) and it looked pretty much like the beach here. Sunny today, though. All we can do is run errands with them, drive them around checking out Christmas lights at houses and the local shrine.
Thanks for taking us along on your "online stuff" this weekend!
I So MUCH enjoyed my time in Scotland, I relive my visit through your videos. Thanks much.
Just imagine only having a wool kilt! Dear God bless the Scots and Irish!!! I live here in America and have experienced Thundersnow!
Hey Shaun, glad you're still putting out vids! Btw your American star should be rotated one more point widdershins. The point at 12:00 should be at 10:00.
Every connection we can get with the world is a good one. Keep up the good work 💚
I am happy to watch any videos in Scotland, I love it!! I love when you visit places I saw when I went to Scotland in 2016, brings back fond memories. Like the Scott Monument! Also, here's a tip, use a spoon handle to open cans! Take care Shaun!
I love thunderstorms!!!! Puts me to sleep eveytime!
Thanks for braving that storm for us, Shaun! Stay safe! (Oh, also, I find that using a spoon to open cans works wonders!)
I like that sofa in your spare bedroom/studio/office. It's pretty! I enjoyed this vlog! Thank you for the nice time :)
Love your videos. Sad that all the businesses are shut down. Won't we all celebrate when things are back to normal? Keep them coming.
Interesting to what is happening in your neck of the woods!
At least our bars in NC are open until 9:00. Whoo hoo, but much livelier than Edinburgh! I don't think anyone feels very Christmasy this year.
Thank you for sharing your every-day-life Shaun!
Another You tuber who lives in Scotland said the bang was the loudest she has ever heard. I live in Newcastle and our winters are cold.
Nice video. I bought that exact same chair for Christmas for my grandson last year. He loves it. He's an an illustrator who had a TH-cam channel with 94k subscribers. He has recently switched to a different platform. But that chair is an amazing comfort. I love the couch. And I love you.
Love seeing Edinburgh anytime of the day or night or weather!
Love the stormy Scottish weather!
Pure Baltic, that’s what I expect for the weather in Edinburgh in the winter.🥶
Shaun Solo in the Weather Strikes Back!
This makes me so sad. I love watching the Live Stream of Edinburgh festivities. Thanks for your video. We get Thundersnow in Oklahoma, USA sometimes... it's strange.
Don't comment much on your videos. But always watching! Love your content. Want to visit one day but probably won't. If you ever come to Alabama would love to meet you and your wife. And please don't open beer with your teeth OMG! Love you!💕
All I can say is, wow! What crazy weather you have been having! This was interesting to watch; definitely different. Hang in there; stay safe!
Shaun I haven't left my apartment complex in a year! Seeing you going about your business is awesome! Yes I am desperate for normal. That place with the Christmas lights was amazing. Keep on keeping on!
Heather deAvalon - Oh, so you were shut in before it was fashionable? Please take that kindly, as most of the rest of the world has now discovered that which you otherwise live with daily, and they are chaffing at the bit. I have friends and family who are in your situation, so I do not take it lightly. All the best of hope to you.
Thank you Shaun! I will always watch any video you do, because you are wonderful! Where is your Scottish 🏴? Put up some Christmas decorations.. You'll feel better. Believe me, after sitting here for months on end, a video from you is like a present! Weird weather! Sending you and Teka love! Merry Christmas! God Jul! 💕🎄⛄🦌
Shaun, I'd bet it's times like this cold rain that you look back wistfully at Brazil.
Omg..dont open cans with your teeth..lol you're going to break them off..ouch!!
Yea. I learned the hard way! 😩 thankfully it Barely chipped my tooth but I learned my lesson
My thought too!🙀
It made me cringe so hard 💀
I had to close my eyes.
@@amstergal - I could hear my Dentist scream from here.
Quite the storm! It looks very cold and windy.
Love the videos of Edinburgh, Shaun. Keep them coming.
those flats are new since i was last at portobello I think
Hazy Jane almost sounds like a shandy. Had a bit of Belhaven Wee Heavy at Hogmanay 😊 I like a good dark, thick heavy as a sidecar to a peated malt, like Caol Ila.
Video request for the daily life series: cooking segments! What do you normally cook when you're going about your regular life?
Same here Shaun.....nothing happening in Toronto. Very sad😕 Toronto in lockdown as well but there are quite a few Christmas lights to brighten things up🎆 which helps lighten the mood. Quite an epic storm I thought the wind was going to take you away Shaun🌬 We have quite a dumping of snow in Northern Ontario already❄❄❄ Your place is beautiful! Love Edinburgh. Can't wait to get back. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Shaun & Teka 🇨🇦❤
Just left Pittenweem! I'm in the Yucatan now but I still miss the weather in Scotland!
I'm happy you are still putting out content there are 3 channels that I will drop everything I'm doing to watch new releases and you are one
Can't wait for all this to be over so I can visit Edinburgh again.
Florida is finally drying out and cooling down dropped to 30 tonight .Im enjoying the cooler weather.
I love our city. Was up town today it’s not the same without the usual Christmas buzz 😩 also love the i can boogie sign 😂😂 class
Always happy to watch your vlogs, Shaun🥰
most Scottish thing ever is the manny and his wee boy out for a cycle in that weather 😂
Great video! I live in Columbus Ohio and i am ashamed to admit that i haven't been to the Brew Dog brewery/bar yet! I love their beer!! Stay safe!!
always love your content and your personality is outstanding. Thank you for all you do Sean. How 'bout a few Whiskey distillery tours when the world gets back to being open? After all, Scotland makes the best on the planet.
Here in North Carolina we now have a nighttime CURFEW! 10:00 PM till 5:00 AM! So we can’t even drive around and look for Christmas lights and decorations! Our governor has lost his mind! It’s going to be an interesting weekend! Love your videos!
We were so jealous here in Glasgow. We want fancy thundersnow, too and not just dreich 😉
I appreciate you're washing anything that goes into our home. My wife does the something when we have to go grocery shopping. Stay safe!
Hint: If you can't open it, you're too young to drink it!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful city!
Ugh! Looks like Texas in February. Yes, we get "Baltic" weather down here,with temps of -5C and North winds of 35 to 40 mph.
Yes! I still clean all of my groceries. I know that a lot of people don't but I feel better if I do.
Kristi Beverley- Agreed, altho nowadays, I put things in the sink and just spray them down with hydrogen peroxide. In ten minutes or so, anything living is dead and all that is left is 'pure water'. It's probably even cheaper to do than soap and warm water, and as well, much easier, and even more effective.
Thanks for that idea, Dobie. Spraying them sounds a lot easier, too.
Thank you for the visit .
As much as I love the ocean I would be home.
Thanks for showing your new chair! I'm now leaning in that direction, as I'm in my office chair all day... 😁
Highly recommended, this is not a sponsorship and I spent my own money: Secret Lab worth every penny
