COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

The park was absolutely packed.
Lots if Canadian tourists...And strangely (to me) a lot of Japanese.
The trail is 7 miles long. After about 5 miles, my "bionic" knee went out. Then it was all stop and rest.....push and walk and some slow and deliberate pedaling. I thought I'd never make it back to the truck.
Kelly was a good sport.
Lots of gators out today.
Including a nine footer that we had to stop for in the road.
I had no energy left to wrestle an adult Aligator. So I yielded to the creature.
What a nice day.
What a great workout.

Oh my word.

What a cool trail!!!

I haven’t got off the sofa today!!

My goal is to plant tort seeds. I can’t grow any in the summer heat! Winter is definitely the best for our area. We are still in the 80’s.

Happy Boxing Day All. Yesterday we had christmas with hubbies family. Roast potatoes. Cauliflower and broccoli. Gammon and roast beef. Prawns for starters and tirimisu for desert. Today we had christmas with my side of the family. Crumbed stuffed mushrooms 4 starters. Roast chicken. Gammon roast pork. Potatoes. Cauliflower and broccoli and tirimisu for desert. I don't want to see food for a week again so stuffed and can"t eat anymore. Back to work tomorrow. From the posts it looks like everybody had a good Christmas. I hope the rest of the week is as good for everyone.

WOW!!! [emoji2] ANOTHER fabulous dinner!!! [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

Happy Birthday, Noel!!!!

 

[Big Charlie]

Looks delicious.

Very different to our Christmas meal We had turkey stuffed in the cavity with sausage meat stuffing and in the neck with sage & onion stuffing. This was accompanied by roast potatoes, roast parsnips, brussels sprouts and carrots... and pigs in blankets (small pork sausages wrapped in streaky bacon) ... and gravy made from stock made with the turkey giblets

And for dessert Christmas Pudding and my homemade brandy sauce

Sounds delicious! I always make my turkey gravy with giblet stock. I love roast parsnips but no one else in my family does. In the US, pigs in blankets are usually sausages or hot dogs wrapped in pastry.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh boy!!
Thank you for the Birthday wishes!

I plan on going to lunch and enjoy some good company

You're coming to see me?
Golly, that will be brilliant!

Enjoy, Noel, you deserve it!

Nuts! I can't think of any more excuses to not vacuum and dust. Yesterday it was too hot in here because I put too much wood into the wood stove. The day before that my back hurt (yeah, right) so I needed to sit in the recliner with a pillow in the small of my back. The day before that . . . well, I don't remember the day before that. And I don't have the Forum to use as an excuse because I've read all the new posts. Shucks.

We'll keep posting, Yvonne!
There's always something new to read here!

Only one sardine for all of us ?????

Just one for Adam. He then has the task of dividing and sharing.

Shark Valley park in Dade county

Large. Yes.
But they get a lot larger.

Gators are pretty mellow.
Crocodiles are making a comeback and they are to be taken very seriously.
But we didn't see any today.
