COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

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

Good luck, Linda! That’s a lot to sort out — now and when you’re back again from your mom!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That is a nice song. Can we hear the melody please ?

I will get it recorded and posted.
Sometime..................................

Did you like what you saw when they were away?

Oh yes definitly. You forget how much freedom you have.

 

[Kristoff]

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

Been thinking about you seeing all those fossils in Canada! So glad you’re (almost) back!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

In general [emoji1] He’ll read the lot. He may catch up in a week or so [emoji23]

13,500 so far!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Almost makes me nervous to leave the website for fear of all the messages I'll miss!

Don't worry.
No one's as stupid as i am.

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.

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

It was going to be 10p a day so I must owe you about 70p?
The cheque will be in the post

 

[Lyn W]

Have to pop out for a short while - I'll see you later!
TTFN

 

[Kristoff]

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

I guess the (relatively) few posts is a testament to that!
We went to the Copenhagen Opera Festival (expensive, slightly underwhelming, but still interesting) and then to a Butterfly House in the Botanical Garden.

 

[Kristoff]

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.

You couldn’t have known!

Those are really beautiful.

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.

Oh my...

 

[Kristoff]

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

Makes sense! My daughter would love that book!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Does Postman Pat deliver outside the UK?

No.
We have Mailman Mo.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No. He is more like Merlin I think.

That is a very nice thing to say!
Thank you!

wifey gave me the wizard figurine to the left of the picture *** she felt the same way.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

So that means that I found them in corners 4 and 9 then. Although I can't remember what it was that i found.

Me neither

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh yes mam! But I don’t think the zoo keeper cared for being lectured on the size of the enclosure, mixture of species, or lack of hides and humidity by a 4 yr old[emoji23]. Jayden is like a little sponge & often too smart for his own good!

Never!
Keep at it Jayden, just because you're 4 doesn't mean you don't know what you're talking about!
Keep at it!

 

[JoesMum]

Makes sense! My daughter would love that book!

Not sure how much shipping to Denmark would be, but...

We missed you too, Adam (drivel and all!) and we're very glad you're back.

Thanks, Yvonne!
Great to be back with you all again.
