COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Yes still no joy wi that unfortunately but at least I have the enjoyment of Clyde to keep me goin

Thats a good reason to keep on going. I am sorry that it is still not better yet.

 

[CarolM]

It didn’t go so well for me. Will share in a moment.

Does this have something to do with why you needed whiskey in your coffee.

 

[CarolM]

No, I'm still in Morocco.

Whahaha. Lena's loss. [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

I was afraid to ask. But you’re braver than me.

Or stupid !!

 

[CarolM]

Nope.
They're all covered to prevent most of the dust.
Just all of wifey and my 10,000 ornaments!

Yup. That would take an afternoon.

Thanks Heather, I shall be leaving my wildlife camera out near the boundary - at ground level but not actually pointing in their garden of course - to see if I can catch him with his pruners.
The PO did say that would be acceptable, not that I trust her knowledge of the law.

Well I hope you catch the b$#@^t

 

[CarolM]

What, popcorn!!

Popcorn is nice!!

 

[Kristoff]

Wow....nice shots! Ive watched a few of ours this AM, but not close enough for pix. We did spot a lot of misc butterflies and a nice large Praying Mantis. Picked a nice gherkin pickle and a good amount of jalapeños. .

Hope you didn’t confuse the praying mantis with a pickle
I honestly don’t know how a praying mantis could be “nice”

 

[Kristoff]

Yum.
So a hot and spicy papillon mantid a la gherk for dins?

Topped with butterflies

 

[CarolM]

Thanks Heather
Lola has been better today and slightly more active.
He's gone back to ignoring his food unless I sit with him though and put a hand near his slate.
I don't want to restart hand feed him again.

I wouldn't hang in there. It is a battle of wills and you need to win.

 

[Kristoff]

Topped by a long-haired green wooly caterpillar.

Right. The butterflies are already in the dish.

 

[Kristoff]

Do not let him corrupt you, Bea!

G’day.....very quick trip update from yesterday’s kayaking trip.

Our trip had has putting in on smaller Broad Creek located about 1.5 hours north of here along the Pennsylvania-Maryland border. We explored the navigable ends of Broad Creek that is dotted with both Md and Pa resident’s weekend cottages/dachas, then veered out into the mighty Susquehana River where it is known locally as the “dam” since it is located between two dams that form a very large watershed for the greater Md/Pa area. It also provides cooling for the Peach Bottom Nuclear Plant.

• Facts: The Susquehanna River is a major river located in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. At 464 miles long, it is the longest river on the East Coast of the United States that drains into the Atlantic Ocean.
• Did you know: Susquehanna is the third-oldest river on Earth by age (260 to 325 million years).
• Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, a nuclear power plant, is located 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Harrisburg in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River three miles north of the Maryland border.

Our Route - red is the Broad Creek portion

I didn’t need it. (But I do now.) But there’s some correlation there.

So, it’s Monday, daughter’s first day of school as Year 2. As you all very well know, I was very much looking forward to it. However, one of her classmates decided to have his birthday party after classes today. Still, it all could have been fine—if I didn’t volunteer to help his parents. I don’t know exactly know why I did it—must have been that whisky in my coffee early in the day on Sunday. So I was practically co-hosting a kid’s birthday party for 3.5 hours, and I got my hands full. As it turned out, the kids know me really well from previous trips with their teachers when I tagged along and previous parties—so if they needed a glass of water, or toilet, or dispute settlement, they came to me. I had two extra cups of coffee, and I’m wiped out.

Oh you are such a good person Lena. I bet the Moms love you.

Oh you are such a good person Lena. I bet the Moms love you.

I’d love me too!

 

[Moozillion]

Copy and paste.
They won't mind.
Probably.
Actually, the guy that makes their special ones made the Tidgy things for me.

[CarolM]

Yes been googling ways to prosecute because I found many more branches that he has cut of my weigela, holly and the shrubs that aren't as tall as the low fence. All just left in the shrubs to die.

#$%^%#@#%^**&^%$#@$^*()*&%$#@^ is all I have left to say about your neighbours. Sorry for the potty mouth. But I don't like your neighbours.

 

[CarolM]

Left her a message but she's not rung me back yet
