COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

I am up early

It’s dark and it’s chucking it down with rain, but a special offer of £10 for a Eurotunnel trip to France couldn’t be turned down.

So we’re on the motorway on our way to the terminal

My, goodness!!!!!!
You really are the adventurous one!![emoji2]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

My, goodness!!!!!!
You really are the adventurous one!![emoji2]

Good morning, Mooz!
TORTOISE today ! ! !

 

[Kristoff]

Good morninooning, Roommates.
Today is TORTOISE ! ! !
Very, very exciting as this year, we have EIGHT ! ! !
Who will be sending to whom?

Zak should be here in 5 or 6 hours, so we must be patient.

I’m on the edge of my armadillo!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I’m on the edge of my armadillo!

I fell of mine, and she's run off into the dark somewhere.

 

[Kristoff]

I fell of mine, and she's run off into the dark somewhere.

Try to beckon her with some cheese. Maybe Linda could throw some to you across the room.

We live pretty much half way between central London and Folkestone on the Kent Coast. France is only a train or ferry from there. It is very easy for us to get to mainland Europe as it’s closer than most of the UK

Oh my, that's a long time to wait! Can we all stand the suspense?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

OW!
i just got hit on the head with a piece of cheese !
OW !

 

[JoesMum]

OW!
i just got hit on the head with a piece of cheese !
OW !

Some of the cheese we bought is more likely to go splat than inflict pain

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh my, that's a long time to wait! Can we all stand the suspense?

I know.
Still, preparations begin now.
I've got my Fossil Forum package ready to go, so it's time to start preparing for the TORTOISE ! ! !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Some of the cheese we bought is more likely to go splat than inflict pain

SPLAT ! ! !
Ugh!
I just got hit on the head by a piece of cheese !
or is it a jellyfish?
(Lick)
Yuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's Camembert ?

 

[JoesMum]

Chaumes. Can’t you smell it from Morocco? I expect those in the USA can smell it too

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh, I can smell it now ! ! ! !
Lovely on toast ! !
Yuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

First, I need a piece of paper.

Ah, here's one, though it's a bit blurred.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Now, I need a pen.

That'll do.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thirdly, fold the piece of paper so it has 8 sections.

Much easier than 6 !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Next, write the names of the Extraordinary Eight on the sections.

In the order that their TORTOISE participation was confirmed, of course.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Now, where are my scissors?

Hello, scissors! ! !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Then cut the paper into the eight necessary pieces.

In no particular order.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Fold up said pieces of paper so that no one in the whole Universe can tell which one is which.

Very pretty.
