Welcome back Adam!Hello, Heather, hope you are well!
What a beautiful piano!Good mornooning, roommates!
A quiet day ahead for me, unlike yesterday or tomorrow. Or the dreaded Saturday! And on Sunday we’re going on a guided tour to the Open Air Museum showcasing Danish homes, shops, workshops, and windmills throughout history.
Have I shared pics of our piano yet?
It was made by Hornung & Møller, one of the leading Danish piano makers from the 1820s to 1972. Ours was first sold in 1924 to Nakskov Municipality for their summer theater (for today’s equivalent of over 6,000 Euro), and then stayed with the previous owners for 58 years. It needs tuning, but since it’s just for practice and — more importantly! — none of us, except daughter, has any ear for music, we’ll probably avoid that (significant) extra expense.

P.S. @EllieMay, been meaning to ask you: has the other baby squirrel survived?
@CarolM You are a marvel remembering everyone like that!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.
Oh that is so sad, but she did her best.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:-(
What a beautiful building!For those of you living with Harry Potter fans.

No - that's in Liverpool!!It’s adjacent to Gall Bladder Abbey, right?
Nice pix..
Oh, WOW!!!!!! That is WONDERFUL!!!!!
What do you mean "living with" Potter fans? I AM a Potter fan!!!!!
..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!
Beautiful. I love all your critters !
Good luck with the job and the move.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.
That's the sort of news I like to hear!!You know you live in a great city when the front-page headline of the local paper says, “Chestnuts are in bloom again”. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I don't know about Linda but it's still pretty dry here in Wales....a bit colder but very little rain still.I think Linda pushed the cold weather to Germany !
Today it is 14 C and rainy here @JoesMum Is the cold and wet weather coming from England ?
That really is snail mail!!More pets for the CDR...
I’m waiting on a shipment of “Mystery Snails” to arrive here tomorrow (i hope) from Florida (website: Life With Pets). They (a group of 5 or so) will make a nice addition to our Betta fish aquarium, are interesting to watch, actually mate and lay egg sacks... hopefully some interesting colors. Updates to follow of course.
A great song by two great singers!
Oh thank you Lyn. I hope the song pleases you.A great song by two great singers!
Sam Cooke and you Bee!
What a lovely animal family you have!
Certainly does Sabine, thank you!Oh thank you Lyn. I hope the song pleases you.
Good night Lyn. Sleep well. A happy Friday for you too and a quiet weekend.Now I've caught up it's time for me to say goodnight!
Thank goodness Friday is here and I'm looking forward to having a very quiet weekend - I hope - if I haven't forgotten any other weddings, birthday parties or Christenings.
I just have a family meal tomorrow evening with my niece before she goes off to University on Saturday.
I hope she enjoys it as much as I did but doesn't get sent home with tonsillitis and exhaustion after just 3 weeks - as I did!
(My Freshers Week went on and on and on....)
I hope everyone has a good Friday and I'll not see you over the weekend.
Take care and Nos Da!
