COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good evening Lyn and Lola.

Nice to see you back and hope you are both well.

Let's make Lola and Oli pay our power bills.

Hi Gillian and Oli, nice to see you too.
I have thought about sending Lola out to work to earn some cash for the bills but not really found the right job for her yet!
Any ideas?

I thought she had a manic look in her eyes!!

Well, nobody report the wool spider missing, then. Can you imagine how confused the sketch artist would be, trying to depict the missing, um... party?

I told her and this is how proud she is

A definite contender!
Competition for Lola, Oli and Jacques.

My in-house cat-mittee want to know if "mere" cats are a lesser species. Otherwise, they want to convey that there is nothing "mere" about cats.

Me too, there was a storm the last time I cooked and my hob was hit - luckily it was just a flash in the pan!

Hob... That's a word I've missed since I moved back from the UK (about a decade ago). Stove-top just doesn't sound the same.

You're so lucky to be able to travel like you do and see so many different, interesting things!

Linda takes such good pictures and provides such excellent background and detail, we really do get to enjoy it along with her!

Wales beat Australia 9 - 6 in the rugby today for the first time in 10 years!
No tries scored and what looked suspiciously like some dirty play from one of the Oz team but we won with a penalty kick right at the end so there'll be a lot of very happy (and drunk) Welshmen and women in Cardiff tonight!!
England lost to NZ by 1 point (15-16)
I missed the 2018 Festival of Remembrance on TV tonight so will have to watch it on IPlayer tomorrow.
The rest on TV is rubbish so I'm off to bed to start reading my new bedtime book.
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday and I'll see you tomorrow/
Take care and Nos Da

[emoji33] WOW!!! What a challenge!

Aren't you glad you have a mud turtle? Although I imagine a Sulcata would be easier to locate in a nearby enclosure than one of my Micro Muds.

I have to keep a close eye on Bold... He's made two breakouts, and I don't think he's hit 1.25 inches SCL yet!

Mud turtles can't JUMP, can they?

Do tell her she’ll end up on the naughty list. We actually keep one! The Naughty Tortie of the Year award.

Are dilute tortoiseshells (pastel torties) and their offspring eligible? If so I'd like to nominate about seven of them...

No ideas as of yet, but please share if you come across any good ones. I've been telling my herd of cats that they need to start generating income to offset the costs of food, litter, and veterinary expenses.

Fabulous result for Wales rugby. England only losing to NZ by 1 point is pretty good too although they probably don’t feel like that

I would JUMP over board just to get a wash. It would be a nice and really big bath. [emoji23] [emoji23]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think one "jumps overboard" from a submarine!

For “her”?

So, even more drunk Welshmen and women? Sorry! [emoji85]

What are you reading, Lyn? My bedtime reading was a novel about Russian Germans settling in Saskatchewan, Canada, but I’ve paused that to read some essays by Ursula K. Le Guin — I love that woman!

My in-house cat-mittee want to know if "mere" cats are a lesser species. Otherwise, they want to convey that there is nothing "mere" about cats.

To Anne’s In-house Cat-mittee: I’m so sorry for my unfurtunate choice of words! Purrhaps you can forgive me and we can move furward, disparaging meerkats and remembering that cats are awesome.

Amazing what a bunch of men in need of a good shower crammed in a tight space can make a lady do... [emoji85]

I would find a way.
