COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

good mornooning friends, hope you all had a fantastic weekend... no doubt a few sore heads and people of (ahem) 'sick' today

i had a great time doing nothing other than watching films .

only one song springs to mind after reading about all this ball tampering!

... i seen the tennis one this morning!!! fantastic shot

Good afternoon, John.
Glad you had a great but sensible weekend.
I only got up at 2.30 pm!
Was more tired than I thought

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning John

There has to be huge credit to the fans watching the tennis in Canada. There was shocked silence when the umpire was hit and everyone seemed to know and accept the rules.

When it was announced that the match and tie had been defaulted the Canadian fans didn't boo or jeer and the GB fans weren't jubilant. It was all very calm and polite and would not have happened in many countries if a tense decider had been lost in this way.

Yes, good to see.
And the Canadian team have accepted responsibility, the young player, only 17 too. He has apologized profusely and genuinely and it should be a good lesson to him.

Such beauties!!!!!!
But I notice you are using coil bulbs. It is my understanding that the intensity of the light from coil bulbs can irritate tortoises eyes and are not generally recommended. Having said that, your babies look happy and healthy. But i just wanted to mention that because I know your animals mean so much to you.

Sabine? Coiled bulbs? Never!

Was gonna say, no need to go to the BBC now thanks to you, Adam. And now you've made it crystal clear they had not much to say anyway.

Good afternoon, Lena.
Thanks.
The BBC were quite helpful in explaining one or two of the stats and finer points of the game.
I learned quite a lot.
But they did tend to say "Wow!" quite a bit.
Mind you, I used the word "apparently" far too often.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Noooo!
And, Adam, are you going to comment on the Eurovision as well? Just asking so that I can schedule something for that day.

But it's a great idea!
It's in the Ukraine this year in May.
I remember once watching it in Morocco on a Russian TV channel.
Hilarious.

Or was it the BIGfoot God ???????????????????

Morning Adam
You rang?

Good morning, Noel.
Did you see the TARDIS tortoise ?
I was thinking of painting my teapot to match, but have decided not to.
I love the one you sent me as it is.
How's things ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And after a exhausting saok they will retire.... Lying lazy in the sun and warmth. Doing nothing than relax and chill ! CHILLTORTOISES !
What a life !
I hope in my next life I will be a beloved pet-tortoise ! Hope so .....

I hate sunbathing so, it wouldn't be much use to me.
I'd like to come back as cheese mold, I think.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Opiates?
Geez.
We need to get Adam some help.

It's too late.
I'm doomed.
And happy.
Good morning, Ed.

Will you have to drive the tractor and trailer? Do you need an airbrake endorsement?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Mine as well. We need more comfortable furniture in this room. Like some memory foam badgers.

Yes, the armadillos are a bit uncomfy
Except for Fluffy, of course, and he's a bit small.
I'll look into it.

Hi Ed
Not yet
This is for what UPS calls a package car. They look like roach coaches though. They are quite intimidating.
I won't be driving tractor and trailer for about another 7 years

Cool. Standard hydraulic brakes.
You need a class B then?
That would be a great job.

Good point.
And the UV spectrum and intensity is sometimes wrong.
And they don't focus the UV in the correct direction properly.
