Hello, folks.
It's been a year since my incident with Adam. And as disappointed as I am with him, I'd be lying if I said I didn't still care about him.
Has anyone heard from him since LAST Christmas? (2020)
If not, I'm going to try to contact him.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that's concerned.
Thanks.

Nope he's not been here for ages, not since he told us that Sabine had died I think.
I don't know if he reads any posts without logging in but definitely not joined in any of the chat.
I hope he's OK and avoided covid too. It could be quite serious for him if caught it.

Good morning/afternoon/evening all.
It's been so cold today but bright and sunny.
I'm amazed to see my 3 frogs are still active in the pond, They usually overwinter on dry land in wood piles and underground etc. They must be pretty tough, it's not even a sunken pond!
I hope you are all having a good Thursday.

Yes, that pix is “hot off the lathe” (no finishing, yet)). Green wood like this is very prone to cracking, and why wood that you purchase for most projects is kiln dried. Regardless of season - the wood is still green.
Ok when I asked how to stop the cracks yesterday it was just a question. Today it's become a necessary question for a project I'm trying. What can you use to finish a wood project that won't make it crack??

Yes I'm hoping you can contact him. Yes I miss him even though I've never met him. I've not seen him here and many times I catch people lurking ? because I follow a lot of people.?

Maybe your frogs are still overwintering but everything got warm enough for a bath. And you just happened to be blessed enough to get to see it. That sounds like a great birthday present to me.?

It's been really cold and frosty the last couple of days so not swimming weather!?
I've been checking on them the last few nights and they've been coming up to the surface at night in spite of the cold.
Last year they even stayed in the pond when it froze over!
I read on a frog website that some males do this to be the first there when the breeding season starts....they'll have a long wait!!

Thank you very much!
I had a lovely evening with my sisters who are twins. We don't live far from each other but the 3 of us don't get together very often, so good to catch up with both of them.

That is so good to hear, my younger brother lives bout 15 mi away, but I usually have to be the one who calls. But it IS nice when we can get together, My younger Sis lives in Md. so there is NO popin in to see her, but We do call each other.
Savor your Day ?

Well it's 00.02 here on Friday 14th Jan, so that's my birthday done and dusted for another year in the UK but I'll enjoy the extension thanks to US time!
Tomorrow (today now) we will have another good reason to celebrate and welcome the new and first baby daughter for my nephew and his wife in Las Vegas who will arrive by C Section at approx 2 pm US time.
The baby hasn't turned so it has to be C-section and was originally scheduled for today, but the Doc had to change it so we won't be sharing a birthday - but close enough!!
My nephew only arrived home from his ship in Cyprus yesterday just in time for the big event - fingers crossed all goes well for them all!
