COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Hmmm. Bambam I think is trolling us with that line. Naughty naughty Bambam.

 

[JoesMum]

You have such fun all the time. When do you just vegitate at home?

We aren’t very good at that - well JoesDad isn’t. I just get sucked along

 

[CarolM]

Oh Lola! You are really pushing your luck! Have you been taking lessons from @Gillian Moore ‘s Oli?!

Damn I knew there was someone I forgot.!!

 

[Kristoff]

I hope the meds kick in soon and help her recover from this nasty bug.

Thank you, Lyn! I think all the good vibes from the CDR finally reached us, and I will be packing her off to school tomorrow (yay!).

 

[JoesMum]

What is he doing. Maybe we can ask the wool spider( if she exists) to scare him right again.

I think he’s getting on too well with the pirate at the moment so he’s having to use his mischief on roomies. It’s the only explanation for the run of luck some of us have had of late.

 

[Kristoff]

Didn't they make that film on location at your house Yvonne?
You know 'The Great Cats' Pee?'

Nooooo!!! Hey, the odor coming from that question is rather pun-gent! [emoji85]

 

[Kristoff]

Sabine with all those personalities in you, you must the only person I know that can go to group therapy on their own!

Sabine must be a Liverpool fan — “You’ll Never Walk Alone”...

Great !

Good evening all. JoesDad and I are just back from the cinema.

They were screening a live performance of Swan Lake by the Royal Ballet. It was absolutely stunning! (And much cheaper than going to the Royal Opera House in London!)

Was that JoesDad’s advance payment for one month of the World Cup?

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. I have much ironing to do today... and little motivation *sigh *

I really must get it done today. The pile is threatening to take over the entire room.

 

[Kristoff]

I must say the title of this room is quite deceiving. I've found most everyone here so far to be rather bright, and warm.

Except that dang leprechaun, geez that guy is annoying....

We’re so bright and warm we need a cold dark room to keep it down
I hear you about the Leprechaun. @Tidgy’s Dad tried to fire him once (we just don’t have enough booze to pay both the One-Legged Pirate and the Leprechaun), but he stayed around and quietly opened “The Drunken Penguin” bar in the corner instead. (The name came from an unfortunate episode involving one of Bee’s penguins.)

Good evening all I've been a bit busy with reports the last couple of days but almost finished now so can relax a bit.
Lola's results were better than the last in that the white blood count is up, which was the main concern the last time and testosterone levels are normal. He has gained some weight too. So the scan is on hold at the moment.
He has been eating better the last few days, but still only if hand fed.
He will feed himself but ignores most of the food I put down until I get home and sit with him.
I am trying to just leave him to it as I don't want to make him dependent on me but because he's been poorly I feel I need to build him up so its whatever it takes at the moment.
He has completely gone off weeds too and will sniff and walk away if presented with my freshly picked and prepared offerings.
He really is being fussy!
It will be time for some tough love as soon as I think he is strong enough.
Look out Lola!!

Rather than “good luck, Lola”, it will be “good luck, Lyn”, I’m afraid...
So glad the results are more positive now, and that he’s gaining weight! Exactly the kind of news we wanted to hear. Good boy, Lola!

We don't kayak but I love the canoeing we do with the kids. Only usually on the local canal but on a bright sunny day there's nothing better!

Do you know why you should never cook in a canoe?


Because you can't have your kayak and heat it!

LOL [emoji85][emoji23]
I guess it would also be hard to keep it on an oven keel? [emoji85][emoji85]

My sister named him buddy so we’ll go with that because every time I talk to him I say “hey Buddy.”

I feel bad because he paces all day and tries to escape.

I know he’ll settle. I’m also going camping Thursday so I can’t spy on him all day. My pet sitter works but does come on her lunch and sleeps over.

He’s starting to nibble on food.

He’ll get there

@Kristoff

How’s your daughter doing?

Much better, thank you, Kathy! She’s ready to go back to school [emoji28]

 

[Kristoff]

. . . and the queen of puns is back!

We’ve all been waiting for this

 

[Kristoff]

Well now that I have caught up. How is everybody doing.
...

Bambam how is your garden growing? All in a row with cockle shells and silver bells and are you the pretty maid?

LOL!
One interesting book I read a while back was about the secret meaning of nursery rhymes. One version about the meaning behind “Mary, Mary, quite contrary” was that it’s about Mary Tudor, victims of her regime, and instruments of torture called “cockle shells” and such.

Carol did you sleep well last night? And how is operation relieve boredom going? Wait....What...thats me!!! Tut tut tut WHAT is the CDR coming too.

I am having so much fun lately with Rue she is really coming out of her shell[emoji6] And I love her new nightly ritual it is so cute. Anyway not chat again later as I better go find something to do so I can look busy. [emoji3]

These parts of your post are worrisome. Especially the bit about Rue “coming out of her shell”.

I really must get it done today. The pile is threatening to take over the entire room.

Impending ironing also gives me this “flat” feeling. Good luck getting it done, Linda!

Good morning, roommates! Daughter hasn’t had fever for more than 24 hours now. It’s a market day here in the center of Roskilde, and an old underground church ruin museum should be open. We might go down there later today. Then there’s moms’ dinner in the evening, so I might be able to get away from my beloved family for a couple of hours [emoji85][emoji23]

I’ll guard the door with my iron. Quick, make a run for it!
