COLD DARK ROOM

[Pastel Tortie]

It’s brightened up a bit so I have been out for a walk.

These are some of the town’s oldest buildings - probably 16th century? - on East Street

It's pictures like that, that still give me a twinge of homesickness from when I lived in England.

What a lovely hubby you are Ed, Kelly will love that surprise!
Congratulations to you both on your anniversary - here's to the next 20 years!!

Thanks. Lyn.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

That came around quickly!
Happy retirement, Ed!
Enjoy doing what you want, when you want......or not doing anything at all!!

It sounds easy. But actually, at least so far, it isn't.
I've posted an ad in a local site and I've been going around repairing home standby generators.
The boredom is awful

 

[Oxalis]

Good luck!! I’m sure something much better will be in your future!
You’ve got this!!

Yes... good luck, stay positive.

Thanks for the support, all!

How lovely and quite a size too!
Is JoesSis just involved in a survey or having to move them for a development?

At the moment they are surveying to find out what's there. I am not sure what's intended with the land. With so many Great Crested Newts found that day, I suspect plans are having to be redrawn.

Hello and welcome to CDR. I'm Linda and I live in Kent in the South East of England Whereabouts in England did you live?

We are an international bunch of supportive friends in here subject to outbreaks of nonsense and puns.

Pull up an armadillo and make yourself comfortable. The one-legged pirate will pop by shortly and take an order for your beverage of choice. He's sobered up a bit since Adam, aka @Tidgy'sDad, shut the leprechaun in a jellyfish tank. If it gets too dark, polish the jellyfish a little and they will glow better. Watch out for the hedgehogs, they're prickly if you stub your toe on one in the gloom

I can give you a few notes on the saxophone... I could also provide some decent backup singing

Perfect.

Looks like I had the male/female thing backwards

The coloration on these lizards undergoes changes as they mature into adults. In case of females, the contrast of the body color decreases, and the tail turns from bright blue to grayish blue. In the case of males, the vertical stripes fade away leaving a brownish body and tail color.

Very interesting.

 

[CarolM]

Thanks for the kind words. Just really feeling the blues, looking around for a new job, all that kind of thing...

Oh Dear. It sounds like you definitly need a pick me up. What kind of job are you looking for? I hope it works out and that you find what you are looking for. And as far as cheering up goes, I like to read a few jokes and or watch a funny movie to cheer me up for a little while. Sometimes it does it for a long while as well.

 

[CarolM]

Yep..

I see we googled and found the same pix....

Whahaha. Yes - so Snap on the pic.

 

[CarolM]

Thanks so much. There haven't been a lot of openings lately and the place I'm at now is starting to get pretty bad.

I am so sorry to hear that. Hang in there and I am sending you good luck vibes in the meantime.

 

[CarolM]

She saw it last evening when she got home and has been driving it ever since it seems.
It was a success.

You sure do know the way into your woman's heart. Big Brownie points from all of us woman.

 

[CarolM]

Not my truck.
My brothers.
I have an old Tacoma too. But it's not as old.
It's a 2009. Curtis's was a 1999.
They are SO dammed reliable!
In the photo background you can see Kelly's old, black Toyota Yaris.
Not so sporty.....

Oops I misunderstood. Still not nice for your brother though.

And what is wrong with the Yaris. It looks like a nice car to me.

 

[CarolM]

Its certainly strange.
Maybe I'll get used to it.

Well I certainly hope so too.

 

[CarolM]

I hear you! A few years ago, we lived in Tbilisi in the Republic of Georgia (for two years). During that timeframe, we traveled all over that region, northern Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, to include the mountainous northern border of Georgia and Russia. All in our Tacoma! Never an issue. Including one long weekend nailbiting trek to Shatili.......if you have time, watch this!

Will need to watch this a little later.

 

[CarolM]

Nothing eats the clown loaches because they taste funny...

 

[CarolM]

I can play the harmonica too - that is - I can play 'When the saints go marching in' and some of 'Home on the Range' on it. May get a bit boring after a while...

Looks like our band is coming along nicely.

 

[CarolM]

....well maybe Xterminate Factor ?

Whahahaha

 

[Kristoff]

Or.. “Tort Tweets”

Lovely. We’d be chirping away!

 

[Kristoff]

Hi all, just stopping in for some comfort from my tort peers.

Hi there! This is a good place for that.
