COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

I suppose if you take into account Denmark being an hour ahead it is an hour ahead. I hadn't thought of that

Huh?

The movie I tried real hard to get out of my mind was The Exorcist. Having been raised a Catholic, and gone to Catholic schools, the devil was an ingrained part of my life. I saw the movie when I was a young mother of three children. After that I was afraid to go into the garage to put the clothes in the washer and dryer (as if the devil can't also get me in the house????) I was deeply impressed by that movie and it took me a very long time to get the scenes out of my head. Even today, when I see that a movie of that type is about to be promo'd on TV, I turn my head and say, "La, la, la, la, la, la" outloud until the promo is over. Imagine that: I've managed to live 80 years without the devil getting me!

I don't do horror movies... The few I did watch, by mistake or being naive, managed to stay with me

They will just have to learn that they can't have their kayak and eat it!!

I filled in Kent County Council’s survey. In response to the question about how I thought the council could make savings, I suggested that they cut the salary of the top earners starting with the Leader who earns £245k. He is one of the highest paid council leaders in the country... possibly the highest paid.

I kent imagine they took the suggestion well...

Ed loves it there! @ZEROPILOT

Not really.
But I DO live here.
Too bad I'm on a tiny lot about of less than 1/3 acre. Not Sulcata sized. More like Redfoot sized.

My newest "production" I proudly present my lovely audience this evening: A little bit sad ( Thinking of Monty ) but true.....

Wow, yes sad but Beautiful.

Beautiful Sabine, I love the songs of the Everly Brothers.
It is sad but also good to have you back singing to us!

Hi! So far so good, despite the very cold weather and rain.

Hope you are fine.

Hi Gillian and Oli!
Your weather is similar to ours at the moment.

 

[JoesMum]

Huh?

15:52:in Denmark is 14:52 here. So the sun is setting an hour earlier than in the UK. Some of this can be accounted for by Denmark being further East than the UK.

 

[Lyn W]

Hey, this is not the platform for train puns!

I hear you about treating the cold. You drink some, then keep away from children, just as it says on the bottle.

Sorry, Lena, I must try to keep track of the rules!!

I once bought some washing tablets that said 'Keep away from children' on the box, so I had a week off work. I always do what I'm told!

 

[JoesMum]

So I must turn in earlier than usual tonight. Partly because JoesDad kept me awake with his man flu (a second dose this season [emoji849]) last night... and we have an early start for a day out tomorrow. The weather forecast for tomorrow is awful, but I will try to get postcards

Nor me - just watching the news gives me nightmares!
There's enough scary things going on in real life!

Nos Da Linda, hope you have a better night's sleep and a good day tomorrow.

Oh Sabine, it's beautiful!

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Thank you so much Linda. As long as I live I will sing ..... and for Christmas I`ll sing "Holy Night" in German for you and all my friends here in the Cold Dark Room.

I'm SO looking forward to that!

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Wow...£245 is a TON of cash. I’m sure they could cut that salary...has to be plenty of capable people who would do the job fir £150.

I know, I don't think we have any state agency heads in Florida that make that much... Even the elected ones! (If we do, here, then I'm WAY off on my exchange rate...)

Same here. I have more than enough creative runaway imagination to disrupt my sleep on a regular basis. I try not to give my mind anything really horrific or scary to work with, if I can help it.

There's good tracts of acreage to be found in Florida, but it usually means you have to get a ways north of the I-4 corridor. Pastures good for cattle... or very large tortoises!

 

[Maro2Bear]

And getting colder here

Yes north Florida and some Northwest also.
A lot of it isn't built up yet.
