COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good mornooning, all! Hope everyone is well: Bee with her voice exercises, Bambam with her art, Heather with her sleep, Carol with her Wednesday, Linda with her not ironing, Mark with no microwave... Oh no, I’ve just botched that attempt at wishing everyone a great day... [emoji33][emoji33]

I have just done the ironing; there wasn't much fortunately

I had to Google to listen to it because the youtube you linked to won’t play here. The lyrics had me worried until I googled those as well and read them properly. I thought it was a complaint at first

Congratulations on 23 years We are at 28 years of marriage now.

Oh, MY!!!! I just received a PACKAGE from a mysterious person who may or may not live in Texas!
As much as I would LOOOOOVE to open it now, I will be a GOOD T.O.R.T.O.I.S.E. participant and WAIT until Christmas day to open it!
My personal postal inspector, Monty, is checking it out...probably checking for anything edible...

And here I was thinking of visiting you in the new year.

It was Cheryl who said this ! Not me ! I would never put a Russian into my oven. So I will be glad when you visit me in the new year.
We can put some delocious food in the oven and drink some wine.

After so long, the lovey dovey stuff tends to be overridden by a shared sense of humour We’re much the same!

Big day here...no, not a microwave update. Sully is getting a full deep soak as we speak. Not an easy task for a 70 pound plus Sulcata, or for the Keeper lifting in and out of our tub! Was a lot easier under 20 pounds...

Were you soaking with Sully together ??? Sounds so.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Well that was your gym work out done for the day. You have to be careful with your back when they get to that size!

Luckily, I found the perfect large extra reinforced produce box, with handles that Sully just fit in. Made things easier for the lift up two flights of stairs... down, is a whole lot easier.

Hi Mark, and a nice view. Indeed.

 

[Bee62]

Good morning roomies. For everyone who needs a little inspiration for Christmans.
Here is a warm burning fire and some nice Christmas songs to relax.

Oh yes. He and his sister are very close. He would much rather introduce any girlfriend first to his sister rather than us.

And if either of them has someone in tow that they don't happen to have mentioned then the other will happily dob them in with me [emoji23]

That said, it's rarely a surprise to me... Instagram usually has given the game away.

Top tip for any parent... follow your kids social media accounts, but NEVER comment, NEVER like and NEVER tag them. The second you do then you remind them you are there.

Thank you for the tip. I’ll stalk my child when she’s old enough to be on social media [emoji23]

Not sure about “to kick nobody but you”, but other than that sounds great! [emoji4]

Mud turtles always look grumpy. This one may have good reason!
