COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

So.....the CDR is back to current events and not replays? Say it aint so.!

It aint so!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How rude. And dare I say it....racist.

Quite.
The idiot clearly thought I was a tourist and would be gone by the end of the day.
How wrong he was!

Ooh. Yummmmy. Did you save some for us?

 

[CarolM]

Our area just hit with yet another massive thunderstorm with buckets and buckets of rain. The rain comes down harder than the roof gutters can handle, so i literally DO collect buckets of rainwater to filter for fish tank changes, but mostly garden and house plant watering!

The frequent rains have done WONDERS on the newly potted up Elephant Ear tubers. Hard to believe i almost didnt replant them this year..

Luckily you did then. Welcome back.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

We can have a rota to serve behind the bar. We will just charge cost price to buy a drink which we will then use to replenish stocks. Won't cost a penny!!

Okay, then, draw up a rota.
But i'm not included.
Far too lazy.
And this doesn't sound like I'll be making a profit, either.

 

[JSWallace]

Well, that's how it's always been.
We always have the coffee machine brewing and there's a hot drinks machine and soft drinks dispenser and about 800 bottles of Mountain Dew because the Pirate added a couple of extra zeros to an order for Ed, but alcohol was usually only rum to pay the pirate and a drop or two of spirits and a bottle or two of wine for special occasions. I do get beer in for special events as well, but it never lasts very long.

Oh no I feel like I am corrupting the CDR by suggesting stocking the bar with alcohol.
I might just go skulk in a corner with my chilled white wine. Anybody wanting to join me would be most welcome though...

Yay. So does this mean I can add you to my list now? Are you going to stay around for a while?

Ok, .... I jumped back in time and grabbed it first View attachment 247602

Nom nom nom nom....

 

[CarolM]

Somewhat lol.
I brought chicken, sticky rice (found out I can eat that just not normal white or wild rice), steamed carrots, and peas.

That is good.

 

[CarolM]

So that's what happened.

[CarolM]

Umm why not? Sounded good to me..

Because then it would be gone.

 

[CarolM]

Yes...best to “leaf” it be.

Whahaha. So glad you got it. [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

I know that’s not your era... but Wow!! You just blew me away with a nice memory!! My Grandmother ( more like my mother) loved him & Audie Murphy! She thought they were the two most handsome men ever (besides my Pappaw of course) she lived to be 84 and passed on last year at my house where she spent the last 6 months of her life. She was one of those women everyone loved.. and she Doted on my son!!!

Oh I am so glad I brought back good memories.

 

[JSWallace]

Yay. So does this mean I can add you to my list now? Are you going to stay around for a while?

Hi Carol, yes planning on staying around for a while so yes please add me to your list, unless it's a naughty list!!

 

[JSWallace]

Hello Jane! How are you? I’m heading up your way tomorrow!

Hi Linda, yes am very good thanks. You're coming up to Buxton?

 

[CarolM]

Ow!
Just fell over something in the Dark.
Again.
Who left an 'A' frame lying about in the Dark?

Don't you know that you are supposed to feel before you walk. [emoji34]
