COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Morning, roommates! Took daughter to church this morning. (Don’t ask.) Russian New Year’s party for kids in the afternoon - and my last free daycare duty of the year (I hope).
Last night we had a party at her art school, and I produced this wonderful pop-up card.

It was meant to be a scene from Moscow, but I guess the end result looks more like a Central Asian mosque. So much for my Orthodox roots. [emoji85]

Good Morning all. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Good morning, Carol!!
I'm working.
My 'weekend' is Monday and Tuesday.
But this morning I'm going up the post office to collect a couple of pressies.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yaaaaaay! The legendary drawing!!! Thank you.

It's great isn't it?
Will be worth a fortune in a couple of years time when i'm famous.
Even more after I snuff.
Good morning, Lena.

Ha de ha!
We could put Saturn hovering over head, the two would go well together.

Good morning, Roommates.
Had lots of rain last night, looks grey this morning, I'm off out so I expect it's waiting for me.
See you later.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh - the weekend - coupled with a week off from the daily grind. Yesterday's snow forecast came through...we got hit with a wet frozen snow from noon 'til dusk. Not enough to shovel or plow, but just enough to get the roads and byways messy, slippery and dangerous. The cardinals, jays, tufted titmouse, woodpeckers, nuthatches and squirrels are happy the feeder is stocked up with sunflowers and suet.

It's nice to hear that our wild friends will be fuelled up.
A week off, presumably a bit more til just after Crimbo?
Enjoy your holidays, Mark!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Back from the Post Office and guess what?
Yup, that's right, they've decided they don't open on Saturdays anymore.
Monday it must be.

I know. The Masterpieces of the CDR! We could kick off an exhibition. (Good it’s too dark in here to see them, right?)
Morning, Adam!

I wish.....my last 40 hours of Annual Holidsy Leave to "use up or lose " by the end of the calendar year. I'll post some pix of where we are off to for a warmer adventure. I'll be back to work on Boxing day for a short week. Happy holiday greetings to you and the CDR....

Just spotted a nice red headed woodpecker who is usually the first in the AM to visit the suet feeder.

Yvonne, how many musical instruments do you play?

Just the piano. Those were my husband's. He also played the violin, but I gave that to one of the grand daughters when she was in school taking music.

Ok just come back from Christmas shopping. Every year I always say that I never want to do that again and every year I do it. It is absolutely packed and totally crazy in the shops. And we still have 3 more pressies to get. Sigh....so over the Christmas shopping already.
