COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

We are in the clear. Was very uneventful.
Praying for the states north of Florida.

Thanks heavens for that!
Glad it missed you Ray.

 

[Lyn W]

Thanks all clear. Very uneventful I could have left Opo outside. Instead of stressing him out moving his hides inside. Better safe than sorry.

Definitely better safe than sorry!
You'd never have forgiven yourself if Dorian had come your way and he'd been lost or hurt - doesn't bear thinking about.

 

[Lyn W]

Well, well well. All done and caught up. Such good news and Dorian bypassing Ray, but not so good for Marc now. Hopefully Dorian just ends up being hot air for Marc as well.
Heather your ducklings are absolutely gorgeous and I love seeing pics of them. But I am missing your little Chameleon friend. I think it is time that we had an updated pic of him.
Cathie I feel the need to see a pic of your bunny rabbit and Angel. Pretty please.
Yvonne, did you manage to get someone to come and help clean the solar panels?
Lyn, how is getting back into the swing of working again going?
Marc, Enjoy your good book. It is a lost pleasure.
Lena how are our little spiders doing? and any luck on the job hunting?
Linda - So how did the hedgehog release go? Did you manage to get some photos?
Chubbs (So sorry I have forgotten what you said your name was) If you do decide to make your son run around with Antlers - just remember it did not happen until we see the pics.
Black Dog - I like the drone idea! Is that what you do to scare your neighbors?
Kathy (Momof4) - I haven't seen any posts here for a little while now. How are you doing and is everybody recovering nicely now?
Ray - I am so glad that Dorian missed you guys. Can we get a pic or two of Opo?
Ben - Again I am so sorry about Bridge. But I am glad that you are enjoying collage so much. It is a good sign.
I hope that I have not left anybody out. Enjoy your Thursdays.

Getting used to being back slowly thanks Carol, but still counting the days until half term already!!!

 

[Lyn W]

Last day of the week for me, tomorrow I will go to "salins de Gruissan" with my wife !

Hope you and your wife enjoy the trip.

 

[Lyn W]

Good mornooning all.

Sorry Carol no photos of the hedgehogs. They were asleep in a carrier and handed over to the releaser. I was just the intermediate taxi.

I am back at the rescue this afternoon. I am hoping to see this tiny chap. He is the UK’s smallest species of bird - a Firecrest. They’re not common. This one was admitted on Tuesday.

All fluffed up like that suggests he wasn’t feeling too good.

Such a little beauty - a rare finding indeed!
I hope he recovers well - do they migrate or over winter in the UK?

 

[Lyn W]

Tickets booked for IT: chapter 2. I’m seeing it Saturday with my family and then again with some mates on Sunday haha. I’m surprised my mum agreed to come see it..... she will soon regret it I’m sure.

I've seen the trailers on tv - it looks horrific!!
I hope your Mum doesn't get too scared!

 

[Lyn W]

Who is this Marc that Carol speaks of? Is he from the Clan of Sir Typos, or M. Spoken, or Captain of the Can’t Sees?


G’day all, happy Thursday - tomorrow I leave for the islands of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Hoping #Dorian moves east quickly, if not....I’m afraid our long weekend of kayak exploring will be iced.

Same thing happened last year. Hurricane wxr canceled our island trips!

Good to see & hear that @Ray--Opo is IN THE CLEAR ! HOOOOORA

Ps - thumb still throbbing but on the mend. Feels worse than it looks.

Have a good and safe trip Mark.
Apart from stopping your kayaking I hope that Dorian doesn't affect you too badly.

 

[Cathie G]

hmmm, Sounds yummy.

And the second day I can add hamburger for Johnny marzetti add garlic bread...munch the leftover salmon patties for breakfast if I want...

 

[Lyn W]

Good afternoon all. There are very few little beaks left to feed at the rescue as they’ve all been released.

So today, I got to work with some mammals too. Mostly hedgehogs.

This hedgehog Mum has 5 healthy hoglets

And here’s three of them tucking in after I cleaned them out

I also met this young badger who’s a bit of a picky eater and had made a right mess

I hope they all manage to become strong and fat enough to survive the winter.
They are in the best place to do that.

 

[Lyn W]

Good evening/afternoon.
4 days into the first week in work and 1 to go, I'd forgotten how tiring it is!
It's taken me a while to catch up with you all this evening.
Lovely to see the ducklings, hedgehogs, badger, firecrest and deer popping in.
I'm pleased that Dorian hasn't badly affected Ray and hope that Mark and others in its path get off lightly too.
I'm looking forward to the weekend and hope everyone has a good Friday and an even better weekend!

Thanks....it should be raining pretty hard here tomorrow, clearing Saturday. Fingers crossed.
Thumbs out of harm’s way.

My solar service man still had the pictures of my faulty panel on his phone so I asked him to send them to me. Here's what was happening under one of my solar panels:

The good Lord evidently wants to keep you around for awhile. He probably knows how much we need you. Hoping you find someone that will help you clean the panels. I'm sure he'll send that person.

 

[Cathie G]

Smells a little fishy in here, BUTT, moving right along...

Ms. Sully just devoured a nice 10” seedless cucumber, Tip to tail, gone. Along with a many corn husks, grass, dandelions and a small bunch of kale. Many hibiscus flowers, grape leaves, my left toe too. A bit peckish here today.

Neighbor watch just called....some old fishing poles out for pick-up, wondering if we want? Of course?! Wifey on it.

Was it a UK cucumber?...just wondering...

 

[Cathie G]

Aha! I thought I might have already posted postcards. It doesn’t excuse you though, Adrien!

Yes Adrien will have to post his experience. It looks like a really beautiful place.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Was it a UK cucumber?...just wondering...

A nicely wrapped English cucumber. Yes.

Looks like a bunny wabbit mess too me...newspapers and hay...Razberri has decided to dig her hay out and bury herself in hay for the past few days...she'll get over it.

 

[Cathie G]

Yes.

 

[Cathie G]

A nicely wrapped English cucumber. Yes.

I was just wondering if English cucumber might be an additional food to mix in for my little Russian. (In small amounts) I love dipping them in ranch. They are one of my favorite chips. I usually have one here.
