COLD DARK ROOM

JoesMum said:

Good morning all.

Let me introduce you to Billy. Billy is a Pipistrelle bat staying with my daughter for a couple of nights while his regular carer is away. He hasn’t been well, but is on the road to recovery.

His story currently sounds very like Lola... he’s trying it on! He needs to eat live mealworms, but will only eat them if you pull the head off first! And Daughter was also told that he wouldn’t fly, but as soon as he arrived he started flying round the room. Fortunately Daughter had closed both the window of the room and the door before feeding Billy!

Whahaha. I only got it when I read your ouch. LOL

Thank goodness it's FRIDAY!!! Yay. Can't wait for the work day to finish so my weekend can start.

Happy Friday everybody. Hopefully it cools down for everyone on your side. We have had rain here yesterday the whole day and today in bursts. But those bursts have been rather heavy downpours. Rain Rain come again tomorrow. Oh wait I am going to the farm tomorrow. Okay come again tomorrow morning and clear up in the afternoon.

Not a pet. This is a wild bat in sick bay. You have to have a license to handle bats in the UK.

You laugh but he really do ! Every time my dog is pseudopregnand she has milk and thisl old big, fat tomcat is drinking the milk like a dog puppy. When I see them the next time I will make a pic and upload it.
It is true.

Evening all.
A bit cooler here today and thunderstorms are forecast for tomorrow so they should clear the air.
Hopefully no lightning strikes will cause fires.
The low reservoirs have finally hit the news with tips on how to save water.
Wonder if my neighbours will forfeit their pool (that comes out every year and takes up all their garden) or at least one of their washing machines (they have a second in their garden and are pumping the water into a soak away!)

I've heard a good tip - save water and bath (or shower) with a friend!!!
He/She can bring their own loofah!

Soak with your tortoise and you safe water too ! but be aware of the poop....

Nice little bat. Does he try to bite ? Why does he should eat mealworms ? They don`t fly. Bats eat insects that fly.

Hi Carol. Would you be so kind and take some pics for us of the farm ?

Hello all! It's MY "good morning!!" time, so Good Morning to you all! Hope you have wonderful days. I'm going grocery shopping.

Maybe your dog thinks your cat is a dog as well. I would love to see a picture when you do take one.

How cute is he?!?! Love him!!!

CarolM said:

That is what you have dogs for. My dogs keep the neighbours cats away very nicely.

My dogs wait til the climb the fence then ambush them... Then I have to go bury a cat, well what's left of it.

Morning everyone!

Yvonne G said:

Hot here too. I work outside until about 11a then I come in and take a cooling shower and vegetate the rest of the day. For the next 7 days our over night temp is going to be 75F or above. When it doesn't cool off more than that at night you wake up to a HOT house!!! We're on our 14th consecutive day over 100f.

We had that last week! I hate it!!
I am grateful that I can run my air 24/7!

Happy Friday all. Hot and hotter again today with no end or rain in sight. The once lush lawns and gardens in our area are all brown and parched. Early this Spring we were 15 inches above normal = green city. Then, the tides and sand shifted...the rain clouds dried up and blew away to be replaced by sun rays and high humidity. No sign of rain or cooler temps in sight.

Today, since the shed project was officially finished yesterday, we went out kayaking early to Galesville MD, one of our favorite locations. Quaint little fishing/sailing village on the Chesapeake Bay and West River.

Hope everyone has great weekends..

Two quick pix..

The Harbor Area



And Peace n Quiet
