COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good evening all. We’re back from our travels and the kids are on their way to their homes.

It is sweltering here. We have unpacked and sorted out and are now trying to cool the house down!

I’m off to see Mum for a few days on Tuesday so there is much to organise!

Not see you later x

Blimey Linda, you never stop!
Do you not like living in your house?
I don't know whether to say 'welcome back' or 'Bon Voyage'
Both I suppose
I hope you have a lovely visit to your Mum.

I hope you have a lovely visit to your Mum.

Seeing Mum is important. She lives so far away. I don’t see her often enough really

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Chat with you in a couple of weeks [emoji85]

Today, I hope.
Or tomorrow.
See you've been doing a bit of travelling yourself!
Lovely stuff.

Good luck with the drive in a few days. And Welcome home Linda.[emoji3]

You are a good daughter.

 

[CarolM]

Well that catch up didn't take long at all. Has everyone had a good weekend?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Welcome back Adam!!
Long time no not see!
Hope you and Wifey and Tidgy are well!

Still haven't spoken directly to you in about a year and a half!
Soon, soon!
Sorry about the problems you've been having with Lola and with your neighbours.
Some things don't change.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You should be sponsored!

That would have been nice!
You can sponsor me in retrospect if you like?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Still not recovered from those photos!!!

Me neither!
Even after months of therapy.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

...and we’re GLAD!!!!!!
@Tidgy’s Dad

Hi, Mooz!
It's great to be back!
So happy that Jacques seems to be alright again.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Could he have escaped or perhaps something has gotten him? [emoji22]

Somebody climbed over the wall and took him from his pen.
The neighbours never noticed.
It could have been one or two of the neighbours.
I don't know.
He's gone and that's the end of it.
My fault!
Should have built a temporary indoor enclosure and Zak could have helped out with feeding etc.
But I thought, "It'll be fine".
Stupid me.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I don’t think they have the same attitude to Health and Safety in Morocco as we do in the the UK

They do actually burn themselves sometimes.
Recently, In Agadir, a guy was caught shoplifting.
Came back to the shop an hour later and burned himself alive.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Aargh, the Leprechaun is still here — and he’s brought a girlfriend!!!

WHAT ! ! !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Who got you that?

My friend Lori.
She is an expert on coprolites (fossil poop) and has had a book for children published on the subject!

Huh. Thats insane!!

Yes it's difficult when there's a distance between you.
So visits are very important and I bet she loves to see you.
I hope she is well.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Ed sent me a giant sloth poop. @ZEROPILOT

Then an American guy sent me some fossil shark poops :

And now the book and hats.
I specialize in Palaeozoic invertebrates, particularly brachiopods at this time, so why do Americans like to send me poo?
Says something about me I suppose.

 

[Kristoff]

Oh shame. I hope then that they do. The kids are back in the house today. And it was fun to see what it would be like to have the house to ourselves when they eventually move out. And it was a really chilled weekend. The best kind for me.

Did you like what you saw when they were away?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You with a long beard and without your glasses would fit perfectly for a knight !

wifey doesn't like me with a long beard.
And if I didn't have my glasses, I'd be in great danger of swinging at people on my side or the innocent maidens I am sworn to protect.

How awful!
Why would someone do that to themselves?
Terrible for him and for the shop staff and customers there.
