COLD DARK ROOM

[Marinated mamma]

Just back from Physical Therapy. I really, REALLY like my therapist: he has a very holistic approach and is addressing issues that have needed addressing for a long time, not just the one I came to them for!
A friend and I went to a sushi place for lunch yesterday, and I always bring home 1 or 2 pieces. Jacques (my mud turtle) got bits of salmon, but was so excited he trampled it before he ate it- silly boy! The 3 cats each got a bit of fish and I'm glad to say I came away with all my fingers!

Brave lady chancing your fingers like that!

Hi, Bea.
Everyone seems to be having a good day.
Tidgy quite often sits on her food and then looks up as if to say, "Where's my lunch ?"
Silly tort.

My niece and step daughter was in the garden when the loving quack sounds started! And they both said the same thing .... This is like tortoise porn! I'm sure when I was twelve or thirteen I didn't even know what porn was let alone tortoise porn

Doncha just love the leaps and bounds that the Internet has created in our youth

I think your spell checker is being 'helpful' again.
Ah, you've corrected it.

My rabble had some fun in their baths (soaks) today! My niece was not impressed when Olivia decided to do some " white wee " (her description) in the bath!

Happy September, Roommates.
Another beautiful tortoise on my calendar, so bye bye to Tidgy's pic.
She is heartbroken, so i will have to change my avatar.

Blimey!
That first day went quickly!
It'll be Sunday at this rate.

I was waiting for that!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I was waiting for that!

Golly, I'm so predicatable!

 

[JoesMum]

predicatable!

Is that even a word?

 

[Marinated mamma]

Oh no my phones at it again

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oops!
It is now.

Okay, it's the first of September, so new game!
It's Animal, Vegetable or Mineral.
I shall think of something and you have to ask Yes or No questions to determine what I'm thinking of.
20 questions before I reveal the answer.
The quicker the answer is found, the more points you will get.
An incorrect guess will mean minus one, but not a question that gets a 'No'.
Let's see how it goes.

Hi everyone, have a few posts to catch up on - when I'm in a better mood!
Not having a great day today So I'm here for a moan. Apologies in advance!!
School was fine - training day so no pesky pupils about, lots done, even an early finish - all good!
BUT when I drove out of the car park I reversed into a colleagues car!
The annoying thing is she had actually moved her car to let me out and I had tons of room but she stopped me to chat and when I set off again I was distracted and nudged her bumper.
It was only a slow moving nudge but there is a nasty scrape on her bumper - not a mark on mine!
So I was cross with myself for that and feel awful about the inconvenience that will cause.
Then when I got home my neighbours from hell were washing their bins in their garden and 'whoosh!' water that strongly smelt of bleach came flooding out under their gate to leave a big puddle and scraps of rubbish in the lane at the end of my garden, as well as still draining washing machine water onto the old wall. They just use it as a drain and I'm fed up with it
I rang the environmental health officer who has been dealing with my complaint to vent my anger but he is on holiday until next Tuesday, so not much can be done until then as his colleagues can't access his emails.
I never really swear (much - or out loud) but they really are selfish bar stewards!
Right moan over!
I hope you are a well and having a much better day

Hmmmmmm.
I feel almost guilty to report that i'm having a great day.
Pour yourself a drink and put your feet up, we all get days like this, as you know, i had one myself recently.
Hope your colleague was okay about it, anyway, it could have been much worse.
And yours is okay, so that's good .( I was going to put a wink smiley in here, but it's not working!)
I hate your neighbours and I've never even met them.
And it's a bit rich that someone can go on holiday at the environmental health authority and nobody else can access their files. What if it were something really important? (know it is to you, but you know what I mean, I hope). Or what if they don't come back to work ? Seems mental not environmental to me. Surely they can send someone to confirm your story, at least, or by Tuesday it's just heresay.
Sorry about all this, Lyn, hope you have a nice evening and a better day tomorrow.
