COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Well I was correct. I almost got 8 mindless hours of "mostly" uninterrupted sleep. The only issue is that now, at 9:03 pm my time I'm ready for bed and let me tell you what, that's still much too early for this here Cowboy! I say "mostly" uninterrupted sleep because Ava has learned a very fun for her dog trick. She is tall enough to put her wet dog nose/tongue on my face while I sleep. The new trick she has morphed this into is to just show up with one of my dirty socks in her mouth in my face! She doesn't chew them up, she's just very proud to present me with a dirty sock in my face which forces me to roll out of bed. She's a very sweet girl…View attachment 199406 this is a picture of her as a puppy and the cat who raised her…the best part of this whole unnaturalness, the cat is a male cat !

Tidgy likes to climb up my socks when she wants to be picked up in the garden or on the terrace. It generally means she's had enough and wants to go back indoors. She doesn't have a cold wet nose, thankfully.
Indeed, very sweet, Ken.

Wow! I amaze myself! In mindless sleep mode I manage to make a TRIPLE POST!!!

It was worth posting three times!

Really??? No one???

No, what is special on monday the 13th ?

I'm not sure either. But I guess you're not referring to Robbie Williams's birthday, Ken.

Is it a birthday hint?

Snap'ish

good mornooning all

Good afternoon, John.
Can't stop for long, I'm off out again to see how many of the local cafes and restaurants I can visit in one day.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

it's not the best, but here's the boys taking treats

Point to the boys.

Right. Can you just give me -100 points immediately and I'll accept I have well and truly bagged last place in today's task.

This afternoon JoesDad and I are off to a rather nice hotel in the Ashdown Forest for the night where I'm getting an even nicer, and rather expensive, dinner by way of celebrating my birthday.

My birthday is next week, but as it's on an inconveniently pink and expensive day we never celebrate it on the day!

The Ashdown Forest is one of the ancient royal hunting grounds. It's acres of heathland rather than trees... the word forest is misleading... it's also where Winnie the Pooh was created by AA Milne

Good afternoon, Linda.
Eating a rather expensive dinner will get you points, especially if you eat too much!
Happy Early Birthday!
I went to Ashdown Forest with my mother once and another time with a girlfriend to play Pooh Sticks.
Have a great day.

Right, off out to the local cafe.
Had a full English this morning, which is great, as i don't usually eat breakfast at all!
I'm good at this task.
Will finish catching up, later.
Ta ta for now !

Do you need photos of the expensive dinner receipts? (With dates)
Is the tip also included. I tip between 30 and 40%.
That WOULD be the total cost of the dinner or lunch.

Great idea! I should go buy 200 grams of bacon. That would put me in the lead. It's that expensive

My canine "baby":

He's a clever street dog who naively thinks we feed him because he barks at strangers. Being clever, he doesn't bark all the time, only when he knows we're watching.

WOW!!!! He's a handsome fellow!!!!

It just dawned on me…today is Friday, February 10th, right? That makes Monday the 13th, right? And do we all know what that means???

...Friday the 13th comes on Monday this month??!??!? @Cowboy_Ken

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, early birds! Hope you're well. I'm trying to catch up on last night's posts.

Good afternoon, Lena.
I was going to go the cafe but it's chilly with a cold breeze and overcast, think it might rain.
So, back here I am, in the Cold Dark Room.
Catching up on lots of posts.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm not falling for it

You're a barrel of laughs, aren't you ?

Is anyone else doing an early Valentines this year?
I'm also going to send flowers to her job on Tuesday. She actually hates flowers. But she needs to get something on that day. I also got her some earrings. I did NOT have them delivered by FEDEX this year! I went and bought them in person.

Kelly "hates flowers"???!?!? WOW! I LOVE flowers!!! I especially loved it when hubby sent flowers to my workplace on our anniversary, which he did every year that I worked!!!!!
