COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

And one more thing, if anyone needs me to address something specific, please shoot me a pm or text on my cell. I hate to be thought of as a rude person who ignores questions or comments, just no time to stay up to date with the thread, but I don't want to leave either! Love my CDR Littermates too much

Sure thing, cousin.

We get the occasion thunderstorm and 10 minutes of rain, but yesterday was like the monsoon season in Thailand.
We're all good here thanks.
Does Oli get scared in thunderstorms ?

Good evening.

No,luckily enough thunderstorms do not seem to scare Oli. I wonder if they scare Oli KAHN.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

if it's broken in the fitting you can use a potato to safely remove

Actually, I was exaggerating, it just popped when I knocked the lamp off the table.
I wouldn't waste a good potato anyway, i'd only have to go out and buy another one.
wifey wouldn't use it if it had broken glass in it.
Unless i didn't mention it, i suppose.

Hello, Kathy, hope you're having a smashing day.
I am, just broke a light bulb.

Oh, I hate when that happens!!
Our house is all LED and they are kinda rubbery so they don't break.

I'm old fashioned.
And at half a dollar each, the old style can be bought by the bucket load, the modern ones are expensive here.

Yes, the shooting festival.
I spent most of my time in the beer tent.

Yes but "schützenfest" starts at Saturday and ends Thursday. So a big part is for sure the tent but there is much more tradition around there.

Six days in the beer tent ?
No problem.
( yes, really, lots of good things to do and see).

Omg! Where was that??? Sorry for sounding dumb, but I never have enough time to fully catch up with this thread and miss most of the stories but these pics are beautiful!!! Where are those marshes lcated?

@Pearly These marshes are the salt marshes of the Camargue in the south of France (see marker)

The Camargue is famous for growing rice (a red grained variety), for salt (there are huge areas of salt pans) and for their Manades (ranches) farming black bulls (taureau) which are excellent eating and their Guardiens (cowboys) ride white horses which you will see grazing in my photos. I didn't take bull photos with my phone (oops!)

Because the marshes are so wild it's a national park and UNESCO world heritage site and it's a really good place for watching birds in particular.

It's actually to the south west of Provence the area that many are familiar with because of its Van Gogh, Sunflower, Lavender and Peter Mayle connections.
