COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Ooh no!

Clue one was I was lucky my mobile contract allowed data when I go there.

Within the European Economic Area all mobile phone companies have to allow roaming by people from other nations in that area. Which means I’m not going to Europe.

There’s a big, and much easier than the phone data, clue in the photo if people look carefully (It’s not in the words)

I have no clue about mobile phone roaming rules etc for overseas. So I am going to have to rely on one of my roomies to help me out and work it out for me.

Or

I will just have to wait for the postcards.

How long is your flight? And Maybe you are going somewhere exotic then? *wiggles eyebrows in a suggestive manner*

The flight there takes 3 hours and 8 hours to get there. The flight back takes 7 hours and 12 hours.

Killing me Softly!!

That is one of my favorite songs!!
Especially when I’m alone in car, because I can sing my heart out!

 

[Momof4]

I’m having coffee with my mom friends. We all met and volunteered together when the kids were tiny.

Travel souvenirs:


Weonard (left) and Wilfred live in our conservatory. Weonard is a Highland Cow (Scottish breed), but was bought in Herefordshire on the Welsh border. He’s named after the village of St Weonard’s where we stopped that day only because we had never heard of St Weonard. In those pre-internet days we figured we could find out if we went in the church, which we did. These days I can give you a link to Wikipedia

Wilfred is a water buffalo from @CarolM’s home town - Cape Town. He’s named after a taxi driver who was wonderfully kind to our children the day we bought Wilfred. They were hot, tired and grouchy and he found water and chocolate and teased and sang with them. We kept his card and used him for the rest of our stay there.

Has anyone else got souvenirs with memories attached?

Well spotted! I won't be near any roomies though

Happy Hump day indeed

A sunny morning here, 60’s, got an early paddle in.

Just one teaser pix while I take a look at the others.... No calendar contest voting i see...





This one isnt too bad either.

It is a beautiful song.

The flight there takes 3 hours and 8 hours to get there. The flight back takes 7 hours and 12 hours.

And by way of explanation for the flight times (clue 3). I am travelling to another timezone so the actual flight time and the time it appears to have taken when you look at your adjusted watch are different

Good Afternoon All,

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Wednesday so far. Work is keeping me busy. So having to pop in when I can. I must still go and check to see if the thread is up yet or not.

@Bee62 - Let us know how you are doing and if you are alright? Missing you and the last we heard from you was when you mentioned the antibiotics for your leg.

Good evening and happy Wednesday to you and everybody else at CDR.

 

[Gillian M]

Aaaargh! Something leapt out of the dark at me!

* Polishes a jellyfish *

Adam! Lovely to not see you!

Adam! Nice to see you here, @Tidgy's Dad .

Always good to have friends like that.
