COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I think he said EST.

Ooops sorry. Not paying proper attention. [emoji1] [emoji33]

 

[CarolM]

I did, thanks.
Good afternoon to you, Carol!

Good Afternoon Adam. Enioy your lessons.

 

[CarolM]

Only 235 to go excluding this post

Creatures of habit here. We tend to turn in around 10.45 pm here especially when JoesDad has to get up for work at 6am like today. Last night we went to bed at 10pm because we were tired.

Good afternoonish all.

Our bluet-it is definitely thinking about nesting. It brings bits of hay in periodically... And then takes another bit out so there's no progress at all. I think we may have a clueless bird

Again.

Not terribly likely.
Still, the one this morning was an hour late so only had to do an hour.

 

[CarolM]

Easy peasy. Last night there were approximately 48 posts from 12h to the 11h mark. Soooo I say we will reach 100 000 in about 6 hours ( an hour extra because normally people are not on around the same time as me) So my time is now 14.59 so it will be 22.59 SA time for post 100 000. That is my prediction. [emoji1]

See the day is already going by quickly.

Rain? Here’s what we woke up to:

(This used to be a maternity hospital; now a private retirement home.)

(The 1000-year-old Cathedral, significantly extended and turned from Catholic to Lutheran over the years.)

View attachment 232485
(The arch on top is a bridge between the bishop’s house and the Cathedral. You don’t expect the guy to go outside and brave the Danish weather just to go to work! The sign on the left says, “Cycling isn’t permitted.” Obviously.)

So much snow ! Good afternoon Lena.

Just like Central Asian steppes during the long summer.

So the Russian tortoises are a little bit like chameleons. Adapted with their colors to their environment.

Where oh where is everyone, down by the riverrrrrr, where oh where is everyone, down by the seaaaaaaa. .......anyone remember this song? Normally they are asking where the children have gone - I can't remember who sang it and the title of the song.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I thought it very sad for a number of reasons.

John doesn't seem to miss a chance to strip off his clothes............
And yes.

Oop

Good Afternoon Lena.

Good afternoon, Carol!

Beautiful pics. But then I don't have to brave the snow. So it is easy for me to appreciate it.

Hm. You and the local bishop have something in common. [emoji848]

Good Afternoon roommates. This morning was a little hectic. But it has calmed down a little bit. I am tired today. I need to start going to bed earlier. Problem is I always get hooked on reading posts here and replying and then before I know it is 23.00 which for me is too late. Oh well. I will plod through the day and probably go to sleep at 23.00 again tonight. [emoji6]

TFO and the CDR in particular are addictive :/

Can you sleep at work?

 

[Bee62]

Good morning all. A bluet-it has started checking out our nest box

Last year one slept in it all summer and treated it like a bachelor pad. We hope for a family moving in this year

Hopefully she will stay and build a nest. Good luck !

Good afternoon, Carol!

Good afternoon Carol and Lena !
