COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Happy birthday to your son Carol.
Shame about the work but there's always the weekend coming up - hopefully he'll be able to celebrate a little then.

Thank you Lyn.

Not the Alvin and The Chipmunks version?

I was about to ask about that version (never heard of it) but your tells me I shouldn’t

 

[Kristoff]

Indeed not.
Life's Good!
And so am I.

You’re the best. But don’t make me say that twice.

 

[CarolM]

Ah, so you have the sunshine. It's persisting it down here. Very soggy! The garden will love it

Yay. Free water for the garden.

 

[CarolM]

Nearly.
Those are the tests of modern regular sea-urchins.

When they die, usually all the spines fall out and you're left with what you posted.
The heart urchins are a different, largely soft-spined group which sometimes burrow just under the surface of the sea floor.

Very interesting.

 

[CarolM]

Cheese!
Good afternoon, Linda.
I have housework today too, plus a couple of lessons.
Hey ho!

Don't hurt your back again.

 

[CarolM]

Good evening lovelies.....[emoji171]

Hi Dipa

Nice to not see you in the CDR.

 

[CarolM]

Hello Lena. I am feeling good today. I followed Carol`s advice and let the cold free. It vanished into the dark. I hope the cold will not find another roommate to live with.
Thank you for enjoying my singing.

Very glad to hear that you are feeling better Sabine.

Well said Carol and welcome to the club. We have to accept what we are. That is not hard to do. I am at the age that I can say I don`t have to look like a young girl `cause I am not a young girl any longer. I am what I am.
I don`t want to please men with my outfit or body. When a man cannot see the beauty inside of me he can go. I don`t need men or women that think that the only important thing is beauty and less weight.
I wrote it some weeks ago: Real beauty is what we carry inside of us and you Carol and Lena have a lot of this beauty.
To be warm hearted is much more worth than a "well shaped" body. We have a lot more of roommates here with a warm heart and beauty inside and I am proud to know them.
What has Frankie said: I did it my way !
Let`s do it our way !
I love you all my roomies.

Awww. We love you too Sabine. And I totally agree with you.

 

[CarolM]

I'm off to run errands (but buying more than one potato!).

Lol. I think Adam is probably the only person I know who buys one potato at a time. [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

So I'm not included in the beauty inside bit.

Of course you are. Are you not a roommate in the CDR?

 

[CarolM]

REALLY ??? Stille Nacht, sung in German ?

I can read the excitement in that little question!

 

[CarolM]

Not yet, but it’s tempting!!

If I could find fossils here I would.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you, beautiful! We have a saying in Russian which is a little hard to translate: “There has to be a lot of a good person” (good has to be big). And I’m getting better and better.

Ha ha ha. Love it.

The tune was stolen by the Labour Party (a political party) in the UK and called The Red Flag. As everyone thinks of the latter when they hear the music, it isn't widely sung at Christmas in the UK these days

Oh dear.

 

[CarolM]

Good Afternoon/Evening...

Back from my early morning adventure. No singing or fossils or shopping along the way....but I did get out early enough to catch the sun’s early rays on the harbor. I won’t bore you all with tooo many pix (at once), I’ll just scatter them like the sun. Ogh, 4 or 5 eagles spotted, a deer, heron, snowy egrets, ducks and geese too.

Early at the Wharf

Oh that is beautiful.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Oh that is beautiful.

Thanks....tomorrow’s earl morning forecast should be similar.

One of the many desolate, sandy beaches enjoying the sunshine as well.

Maryland Crabbers, out earlier than me....

[CarolM]

You’re the best. But don’t make me say that twice.
