COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Very much so, Sabine. I actually have 2 but George is special. In the cooler months he rides with me everywhere. He is very spoiled and jealous over his “mamma”.. the other is Piper, and I got her for George when it got too hot for him to go with me every day. They are both preciousView attachment 246969

Gorgeous!

It depends on what they pay for a dead Adam....

As Yvonne suggested, it is $1,000,000.
Please don't get any ideas.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thank you for clarifying that. My daughter is good news most of the time, but I was still confused. Hope she’ll follow in wifey’s footsteps and marry a smart guy in the end.

Yeah, wifey may marry a smart guy in the end, but for now she's making do with me.

Good evening all. Today is JoesDad’s birthday and we spent it at Elmley National Nature Reserve which is on the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary.

Sheppey isn’t exactly a tourist attraction, large parts of it are politely described as a dump, but there’s a lot of undisturbed salt marsh there which is great for bird watching

Only the one photo as it isn’t very photogenic, but it gives you the idea

We walked miles in the the 30 degree heat and saw lots.

Now we are in the town of Whitstable which is famous for its oysters.

We are staying in a former fisherman’s hut right on the beach. This is view from our balcony

Happy slightly belated birthday to Joe's Dad!
Sheppey is great for fossils from the London Clay, but I don't have any pics at the moment.
Nice fossil crabs, lobsters, shells, seeds and even palm fruits.
Nice piccies!

No, sorry - maybe one is marigold and maybe one is zinnia????? I'm so happy to know you've placed them on little Lilly's area. You'll love it when they bloom for Lilly.

Yes, of course.

Happy Tort happy Mom.

YES !

I can totally see Adam playing the didgeridoo. Maybe not as long as in the video though.[emoji23] [emoji23]

I used to be quite good at the circular breathing, but since my TB it's become very difficult.
But I never painted myself first.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Finally a woman with power.

She was terrified she was going to fall off the little pedestal thingy, bless her!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I think we scared him away.[emoji17]

It happens, sometimes.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Not very good if you have back problems.

I used to have a lady who came in to do it, but when she left I never got round to replacing her.
Now, I actually scrub the floors on hands and knees.
And it's not too good on my back, no.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hug me as much and as often you would like. I will like it too and I can assure you that you will not get infected with anything.

She's been a little less nutty this week.
And a little more mobile.

Good to hear.
I guess she has good days and bad days.
Like most of us.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Am always happy to share.

Wow ! Thank you. I am a little bit dizzy because of your hugs but feeling great !

Thank you Lena.
My cats name was "Lilly". She was old ( I think 16 years ) and weak because of a malfunction of the pancreas.
Last night she must have tried to jump on a commode in my cellar. The commode is only for the cats to lie on and had a piece of carpet on it.
In the morning I found my poor Lilly dead, hanging with the front paws ( claws ) on the carpet and her back legs in the air. It was so cruel.
She died because she couldn`t get her claws out of the carpet. She died because of the shock. It was cruel to see.
She was not screaming. I would have heard her but I haven`t heard a single sound of her.
She was such a lovely cat.
I am devastated.
I had to bury her soon but I don`t want to. I don`t want to think she is dead but she is.

I'm very sorry to hear this story, Sabine.
Poor Lilly.
But she'd had a good life, you loved her for many years.
Sadly, tragedies happen all too often.

I like Durian Durian too.

I prefer "The Picture of Durian Gray".

There's actually a lake at a golf course in the USA where they have sharks.
They were left behind after a flood and have adapted from salt water to fresh water.
Nobody goes in looking for their golf balls!
Saw it on TV the other day but can't remember where.

Hmmmm.

Ferret legging used to be a popular sport in some parts of the UK (maybe further afield too)
I think it's banned now - thankfully!

I have read that it's not actually banned, just not as popular anymore.

Now, I actually scrub the floors on hands and knees.
And it's not too good on my back, no.

That's how my Mum used to scrub our floors too.
I can still see her on her hands and knees with her bucket, scrubbing brush and cloth,
Our kitchen floor was always spotless - she ended up with a bad back too.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Has she ever tried Bungee Jumping ?

Yes, but she didn't much care for it.
Not in control, you know?
