So better late than never!! Good morning Roomies!

Good Mornooning Heather! It’s mid afternoon here and having done some meeting paperwork after yoga, I have just boarded a train for London.

I am meeting JoesDad for dinner and then we are going to the British Library to hear a talk by Michael Palin (ex Monty Python) and David Schneider called “Reflections on Writing Comedy”

Should be good :)

Decision on shoulder being made tomorrow :)

Sounds like fun!!! If Nora Roberts ever does a speaking event, I’m so there!!! Lol..

You are very smart to take your time in making that particular decision.. I know you’ve armed yourself with all the knowledge to make the best decision so I’ll throw out a couple prayers for your state of mind until the decision is made!

Enjoy your date night:)

Because your daughter is learning how the music sounds as she plays, an untuned piano would interfere with her developing a proper “ear” for music and how it SHOULD sound. I hate to be a wet blanket, so to speak, but it really should be tuned for her to develop her musical “ear” accurately.

I took piano for several years as a child, and it served me well: I have “perfect pitch” and have sung and played several other instruments over the years.

Thank you, Bea! I’m listening.

Beautiful Piano!!!

The squirrel did not make it. It survived about a week longer than the other. My daughter was so attached that she snuck it to school on the first day because she couldn’t stand to leave it. It passed that afternoon:-(

So sorry about the squirrel. Amazing they lived that long. A big hug to your daughter [emoji173]️

My fingers are getting numb, but I’ll try to keep them crossed until tomorrow! :)

For those of you living with Harry Potter fans.

Here’s King’s Cross station

And here is the Station next door - St Pancras - that was used in the films

Bad memories of both stations. Plus Russell Square station. I had to disturb people around those areas in 2005 to find a “story” for my job interview with Reuters. Most people didn’t appreciate it. :rolleyes: (I didn’t get the job [emoji17])

G’day all

Overcast and partly rainy. Mixed rain coming and going, but still calm before Florence hits south of us and moves up toward our area. Calling for about 3-4 inches of rain.

I did get out kayaking for some brisk paddling this morning Nice and peaceful - many turtles in the water, none basking, a few Blue Herons, but little else. No deer, no eagles.

Good Mornooning Adam, Linda and Lena and any other Roommates who are up and about.
Managed to pop in earlier today. For once I cannot believe that we are already on Thursday. It feels like yesterday was Monday and the day before that and the day before that etc. etc. ;)

Today there is a little bit of breathing space. So yay.

How is everybody doing? A few things that I would like to touch base on:

1. Nice to have you back Adam, the CDR is just not the same without you.
2. @Bambam1989 we haven't heard from you in a while. You okay?
3. @DE42 How are you doing. Are you back to being your normal self?
4. Sabine, we need a photo or two more of Ma and Mo please. And have you managed to sort out your temp problem yet?
5. Kathy how is little Uzi doing? And your Son, no further health problems I hope.
6. @Toddrickfl1 It has been a while since you have popped in, I hope you haven't been frozen in those freezers that you work in. Do we need to come and rescue you? If you do, Blink twice.
7. Heather, I think we need some more photo's of your critters as well. And I also want to know if the other squirrell survived.
8. Mark, has the storm passed you yet? I think they were talking on the news yesterday on our radio about Hurricane Florence. I hope all is okay on your side and that your critters and garden are surviving the bad weather.
9. Lyn, I was very happy to read that your neighbours haven't cut anymore plants again so far. I know how you feel after having to get back in the swing of things after a long holiday. I hope that Lola is behaving or at least as much as He does.
10. Gillian - How is Oli doing? Is your weather how you like it yet?
11. Ed - How is your Mom doing and have you received your bumper thingy that you were looking for the other day yet?
12. Yvonne you can be as agrophobic as you like, in the CDR no-one can see you so it is a safe place to be. Much safer than anywhere else..... Just saying!
13. Bea - I am getting withdrawal symptoms again. I need a quick fix with some photo's of Jacques and Elsa.
14. @Laura1412 - How are you doing?
15. Lena - What's the chances of a video of your daughter having her first lesson? Or at least a photo of her pretending to play.;)
16. Linda - how did the yoga go? And Let us know what the doc says about your shoulder. Good Luck

As it is autumn on your side at the moment (or at least it should be) Those of you who have torts - are you going to be hibernating them? Just curious.

Anyway chat again sooner or later and Not see you in the CDR.
Yes I'm doing well, things are just hectic here(in a good way). We have been trying to get our house ready to sell, there are alot of things that need to get done. Hubby has been getting job offers left and right lately and he just has to decide which one. There are two in Texas and one in Missouri that sound good.
We hope to be moving in less than 6 months!
I still haven't updated Clunker's page but I have been popping onto the forum occasionally.
Hope everyone is well and will try to chat soon.

Oh, WOW!!!!!! That is WONDERFUL!!!!!:):<3::<3::<3:
What do you mean "living with" Potter fans? I AM a Potter fan!!!!! :D:D:D:D
..but only of the books. Never bothered with any of the movies: I like my imagination better. Although i will say that Alan Rickman and Dame Maggie Smith were PERFECTLY cast for their roles!
