Today's Peeve of the Day, Sunday 14th July. (county, daughter, places)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers.

No sign to the end of this glorious spell of weather.

My friends were highly pleased as they had a biggish outdoor party yesterday evening marking the husband's 50th birthday.

The event kicked off at 7-30pm and we had a lovely buffet.

Between the main course and desserts there were some speeches accompanied by video showings.

By the time desserts were served it was well past 10pm.

I have a hiatus hernia which means I cannot eat near to going to bed so I passed and watched others eat Mrs J's yummy Mississippi Mud Pie.

It was a lovely evening but I wish I could have had a dessert!

Do any of you have issues with eating late?

Let us know because that is the POTD;

Eating late.

I've been going through older photos and have come up with these depicting Miss J getting the bus to the British School of Houston a few years ago;

Eating late....I also have a hiatal hernia and horrible reflux so I have to forgo eating late....I'm going in on Sept 13 to get my esophagus stretched when they do my colonoscopy (hope he washes the instruments after colonoscopy and before the esophagus stretch - bwahahaha) But Mrs J's Mississippi Mud dessert sounds yummy from the chocoholic here!

I know you must has told the "why was I in Houston" story a million times, but that must have been before my time.....could I ask why? How long did you live there .... did you like it???? Did you live others places??

Those are just stunningly beautiful and clear pictures.

I don't like to eat late, I think it makes you gain weight. When I lived in Europe, they always ate late. For me..I like eating dinner between 5-6 p.m.

I'm jealous of your "glorious" weather Jezer!! Nothing but rain here!

I don't eat late, I agree with tarragon about the weight gain. I don't usually eat after 5 or so. I eat my big meal in the afternoon.

Sorry, this isn't a peeve for me personally.
I eat alone & graze/snack (whatever, whenever ) rather than eat meals w/other folks.

Plus-as a nocturnal creature, I eat after midnight, not before noon.
Please don't resent me for my freelance consumption habits

I extend my sympathies to persons who have external or bodily mandates/strictures,
and wish you/them well in that challenging endeavor.

I can't eat late at night or for some reason I have really, really bad dreams.

Great pictures of Miss J!

Good morning....I would love to have ayummy before bed but it turns into fat when I sleep. I'm so weight concious.
Also my plumbing ain't what it used to be. burp.

Nice pics jezer. That your daughter?
I see the pic of the queen and GW on the wall. Did you like george bush? just wondering.

okay happy sunday.

[Jezer]

Yes that is a young Miss J.

We went to Houston for work.

Mrs J had worked in NYC and I had worked in Orange County, CA.

It was generally an enjoyable time though summers were brutal. The rest of the year was generally quite pleasant.

I love Texas and think it is a much maligned State, though I'll keep my views on Dubya to myself.

I loved going down to Big Bend and the Hill Country. SA and Austin are great, but I was quite happy pootling around 'ordinary' towns, the countryside and the beaches of the Gulf Coast as well as Houston itself.

It was a great experience for Miss J as well and she did so many things that she would not have been able to do here.

We also used the time to explore other parts of SW USA, but there are so many other places I want to visit as well as revisit.
