COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Daughter has taken part in a company webinar for International Women’s Day. It was presented by a man [emoji849]

Happens everywhere!

I think we will hit 100,000 before I have to leave for work.

I'll use the opportunity of a quiet time in the CDR to post a few more postcards from my walk this morning, this time taken with a real camera.

Here is a former townhall, which used to be a fire station's watch tower before that, and a prison, and a part of a church even earlier. The church had been demolished some 500 years ago during the Danish Reformation, but you can still see the ruins under the square.

These used to be the stables adjacent to a summer palace; currently a museum of modern art but I haven't visited.

A detail of the cathedral. Each king built an extension to the cathedral which would serve as his and his family's burial chamber. Because the architectural styles and tastes changed over time, each new addition could be very different from the rest.

The bishop's bridge I mentioned before. And me doing street photography -- taking pictures of random people.

Wonderful stuff, just WONDERFUL![emoji7]

Walking around in the dark.
Where did Adam leave that beer and cheese.

Depending on one’s definition of “success”, sure

Btw, I think a Turkish person wrote it - they have the habit of putting the dot over a capital “i” because there are two letters in the Turkish alphabet, one with and one without the dot

Thank you, Bea!

We're all doing great, thanks!

I discovered the ghost shrimp are stealing Jacques' salmon from right under her nose! I dropped in about 4 pieces and saw her eat 1 or 2. Then one of the pieces appeared to start walking away all by itself- I looked closer and saw a ghost shrimp had lifted it up and was carrying it off!!!!! Two days later I found a piece of salmon at the far end of her tank- obviously dragged there by the shrimp.
Today I tried hand feeding her- i know it's risky since she snaps up her food, but I know for SURE she got 3 pieces!!!!!!

Busy day for me: a friend and I are baking and decorating a cake for a competition fund raiser which will be on Saturday! Last year we made a realistic looking book, and got 2nd place! And it sold for $100!
I'll post pictures of our creation once we're done: I'm baking and freezing 2 cakes today, and she'll come over tomorrow to do the sculpting and most of the creative work. She is a professional chef!!!!!!!
Not see you all later!!!

Hmm, I can imagine a wandering piece of salmon. That`s why they are called Ghost shrimps. They work like little nasty ghosts. CUTE !!!
I think Jaques is not starving because of her ghostly roommates. You will feed her enough, I know.

 

[Bee62]

Well we are less that 200 post away. Do you think we will hit it before Adam gets back?

Who knows ( when h is back )

 

[Bee62]

So you’ll get only a little bit back

You can keep my little bit in store for the next winter.

That’s what I usually mean by shopping, sorry! I like to choose my apples, yoghurt, and meat. Lidl has some clothes on sale, designed by Heidi Klum, if that makes it any better...

Design by Heidi Klum ??? Who in the world should wear that ?
You need to be thin as a snake, blind as a mole and have self confidence as .... I don`t know..... to wear these clothes

Saw an add of someone wanting to trade a fly river turtle. The tank it was an was WAY WAY way too small for it. Made me sad. I'd LOVE to have one but I know I can't take proper care of one and it kills me to see one that is in those conditions.

Why do you think you can`t take proper care of a turtle ?

Lovely. Brings back lovely (unsnowy) memories of visiting Roskilde a few years ago

 

[Bee62]

The castle looks British, but the church looks Germanic. Are these local to you in Hardegsen by any chance?

Yes they are both in my hometown
Here are some more pics

Of that one. The fly river turtle requirements are different than many of the common kept turtles.

A very beautiful place. Quite delightful in many respects.
Though a bit white for my liking.
Could do with a splash of colour.
