- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Glad you had a nice day.
I lived in Weston-super-Mare with wifey, my last British home before we moved to Morocco. I lived in Bristol in the early days of my working life, one of my homes was near St Mary Redcliffe .
I never lived in Bath, far too expensive, but wifey and I attended the Theatre Royal there regularly (Royal Box, of course) , we shopped there often and got married in the Roman Baths, the first to do so, our plans were copied by the Bath's (with our blessing) and they now sell it as a package.
Lol.. for sure but but only in reference to personality...my daddy was calling me that before I ever started school
Promised pics! I’ll do better next time but i got overloaded today.... past my bedtime folks!!
I have recently made friends with a couple of very nice young mothers in Canada who go fossil collecting with their young daughters. They have been kind enough to send me lots of Canadian Ordovician fossils and slightly younger Devonian ones.
Here are just a few plus some they collected in New York.
These next ones were a prize for a competition i won.
And from the other lady :
And a piece of rare and valuable ammolite (a unique mineral replacing the shell of an ammonite) With some Canadian candies.
Oh, another photo of the ammolite
And a card the first lady sent me with a drawing of Tidgy and me by her daughter,
I find the psychology of children very interesting, though i know nothing about them (except they're loud and expensive) The sky is white and the clouds are blue and there seems to be grass growing above the sky.

He’s hooked!!! And I’m not talking about the fish
Jayden is my “special” child. I was not supposed to be able to have anymore and my daughter was 11 when I became pregnant with him.. I see all of y’alls proud pictures and it just makes me think how fast time is playing it’s hand .. I’m grateful & God is good!
Goodness!
Oh, Lyn!
I should have come over and sorted them out years back!
Animals.
Still my lot have been stealing my post, including notes saying parcels are waiting to be collected.
This has resulted in a package from an American Museum being returned to America and costing the museum an extra $100 on top of what they paid to post me the specimens to study for them in the first place. The Museum guy is really angry with me.
Nos da, Roommates.
I have less than 2,000 posts to go now.
Since a lot of those are mine, I may be with you in real time later tomorrow (today) .
Speak soon!

Caught up today's posts at last - don't know how Adam manages to read months worth!
I find it easier to start with the most recent posts and work backwards that way I don't repeat what others have said.
Hope you are all having a good weekend so far!
I may be taking my nephew to Cardiff airport tomorrow then spending some time at the nearby coast - maybe Barrybados!
(Usually known as Barry Island - or more recently renamed as Whitmore Bay)
We'll probably end up somewhere a bit quieter but hopefully there will be some sea breezes to cool things down - the heat has been unbearable here today!
Barry Island renamed? No chance! As a proud descendant of a South Walian mother you can’t persuade everyone to call it something else!
Great stuff, Carol!
Rue is very beautiful and I love Kang and the hide and seek photos too!
Wonderful photos ! Thank you [emoji177]
Well, the comments seem to have just petered out, rather.
But thank you, carol for organizing the World Cup thingy, it was great fun.
And congratulations to Todd for being so good at his predictions to win the thing.
I operated a thread over on the Fossil Forum with a person representing each country in the competition and getting points for the results, predictions and games and quizzes and questions about football, fossils and even a few on tortoises.
I had thirty two players, one representing each country, a mix of males and females from about twenty countries with an age range from teenage to late sixties. Much more cosmopolitan than the real world cup! Lots of other people joined in too!
It received 4.658 posts and was viewed 41,622 times, the biggest thread in Fossil Forum history!
Here is the Tidgy emoji they made for me.
And :
Great, hey?
They’re excellent!
I used to live in Worlebury... at the top of the hill. (Circa 1970-75
) Our house backed on to the school playing field and looked over Monk’s Steps at the front. On a clear day we could see South Wales over the Bristol Channel
