COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good point about the wetness.
Zak will be very happy with his substitute, i'm sure.
Anyway, he's in France for the foreseeable.

Ooh is he? Whereabouts in France has he gone?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hey Adam! Good to read ya again. You know where your priorities should be and that’s all that matters.. and I’m always Happy!!! (Except when I’m sad, angry, stressed, moody, etc....but those are just 5second runs, the. I’m happy again ) [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

I'm okay.
Life's good!

Good. I am glad to read that.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

University in Grenoble.
Won't be back for many, many months.
But I'm happy he's moving on with his life and being a success.
This will be his M.Sc.

Lovely area. He is going to find it a bit cold in Winter

 

[Yvonne G]

No one's upset or offended me.
You're all lovely.
I'll still pop in every now and again, just can't let it take over my life
I have an addictive personality, it's all or nothing, if I play in here, it's 12 hours a day.
Hope that you and Lola are well, Lyn.

I totally understand this. A couple years ago I had to quit cold turkey. Stayed away for about a month, then when I came back gave myself specific instructions - mod duties, help newbies, read CDT and Chat and maybe respond, turn off computer!!!!!

@Yvonne G

No, not this time. I'm not a clever shopper.

No, not this time. I'm not a clever shopper.

Neither of us are then!

TORTOISE and Card Exchange participants

Please ensure you add your name and address to the messages.

If you are doing both, you need to do this in both messages.

Please don’t assume your address is there!

I think it would be better if I passed on the TORTOISE and Card Exchange, at least for this year, just in case we move sooner than expected. I do look forward to seeing what everyone gets and hope to participate next year!

 

[Moozillion]

Ok.

The official launch of TORTOISE 2018 - done as a JPEG so even app users can save a copy for reference.

Many thanks to Bea and Elsa for stepping forward to substitute for Adam and Tidgy.

I shall be liaising with Yvonne to get everyone added to new Private Message threads for each. Please bare with me if there are one or two delays!

Thought this was cute!!

It's sprinkling. . .
it's misting. . .
the old tortoise is existing.
He went to bed. . .
and bumped his head. . .
and decided to stay in his warm shed!

I had a brand new sheet of $35 dollars worth of plywood sitting out because I usually don't put things away after my projects. So this a.m. before I fed or cleaned up after anyone, I had to go around the property and load up my wheelbarrow with the loppers, the cordless drill, the open package containing all the surge protectors Amazon had delivered, the plywood, the table saw. Sheesh!

The "rain" isn't enough to do the ground any good, but it's plenty enough to wreck anything left out in it.
