Oh no. If I could send some heat your way I would. [emoji274] [emoji274] [emoji274] [emoji274] [emoji272] [emoji272] [emoji274] [emoji274]

Please do! Gusty all night long, temps plummeting. Winter is still here. We actually slept with the bedroom window wide open....at 65, it was pleasant, until.....the cold, wind, rain started at 0100.

Crinoids, I should think. And other stalked echinoderms.

Good evening all. We went to see Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus at the Barbican this afternoon. We’ve never seen this one before and, for reasons that became obvious, it’s not on the school curriculum!

David Troughton, son of Patrick Troughton, second Doctor Who, played the lead.

It is a very gory play with a very high body count (I made it 12), throats slit and heads and hands being chopped off all over the place. Definitely not one to take children to! There were, fortunately, some excellent comedic bits to relieve the intensity.

The weather is due to turn cold again here in the UK. Where all all the CDR Brits? Have they gone into hibernation?!

Haven't heard if that one. So glad it was not part of school curriculum as I do not like gory stuff.

If you want to hear some ridiculously silly sounding chickens, do a YouTube search for Ketawa roosters or Laughing roosters!!! Some of them really DO sound like a person laughing!!!!!
Apparently there are competitions for the laughing birds, and they win trophies and ribbons! A prize winning bird is worth thousands of dollars!!!![emoji38]
I have seen videos of this roosters. They are funny !

I’m not a gore or horror fan either unlike JoesDad. They handled the bloody necessities of the text really well and used the comedic interludes well.

There was a lot of stage blood about, but it wasn’t done in a way that made me feel sick

It's foggy and cold here this a.m. I'm about to take my tub of tortoise food out and tend to the animals. I don't want to go. Please don't make me go.

.. . I know, I know - the sooner I go out and get it done the sooner I can come back in and make a fire in the woodstove.

Come over to my fire. I burns already and we drink a mug of coffee or tea together.:)

I know those mornings too well. They’re hard work. Sabine’s stoked the fire, I’m just about to put the kettle on. A big pot of tea to share? If someone can shoo those chickens off that armadillo over there I’ll put it there with milk and sugar so you can help yourself.
