COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Good afternoon, roommates! I was swamped with work, volunteering, and, well, migraines. Almost looking forward to the weekend for a change!
I accompanied daughter’s Year 2 as well as Year 3 classes to the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen. They have their own Diplodocus, much like the British Dippy, only called Misty.

It was discovered by a 13-year-old and his younger brother who had been sent away to “just dig over there” and not disturb their paleontologist dad.
The teachers then surprised me with a large and heavy gift as a token of appreciation. I very much want to keep it but am not sure how we can possibly take it to Canada:

The migraines are due to stress, exacerbated by an unpleasant situation involving some parents in our class—and me. A little private hell I brought upon myself. Serves me right for volunteering so much (and overestimating people’s intelligence).
Sorry for being AWOL. Which, in Canadian English, seems to be AWL—from my reading this week.
Oh dear. Poor you with the the migraines. I don’t suffer, but know they’re horrible. Big electronic hugs x
Thank you, Linda. [emoji173]️
I’m just going to put the bad stuff out of my mind. Might help.
I would love to share some of our rain with you. Even though we live at the edge of a flood plain we never had high water in our yard from rain until 2018..this year I could have hosted an ice skating party in our back yard....but it didn't freeze.
I always think put off till tomorrow what should have been done yesterday or until you feel like it...Good morning all and Happy Friday!!
I'm toying with the idea of catching a train into Cardiff for more wedding outfit searching.
If I dose myself up with my painkillers I should be OK.
But on the other hand, it's a nice warm day and it would much more fun staying here watching Lola wander in and out of the garden.
Maybe I've caught Lola's agoraphobia!!
Hope everyone has a good day.
Dandelion seeds probably need to be frozen for awhile because of being perennials. Just a suggestion. Then try to germinate them early spring. You wouldn't have to do all of them.
And daisies too. I can't remember which seeds you received.

You really are a sucker for punishment. I hope the migraines go away. Is the gift a painting?Good afternoon, roommates! I was swamped with work, volunteering, and, well, migraines. Almost looking forward to the weekend for a change!

Aaahhh. Well she has gone to a good home.Her previous owner kept two different Greek subspecies together leading to Margo, she was the only one to hatch so she’s quite special. The lady couldn’t look after them any more so she offered them to the breeder who raised mine, he could only take the parents so he gave me Margo

The problem is that they grow best in our winter as that is when there is water. In summer they are not so good. But I will plant half now and then the other half in spring. And we can see what happens.
Yes...sometimes I find really good things so cheap and should have bought more...I just didn't know how much they would work for me. It's like the fish that got away!
I actually did some tree trimming today. I couldn't stand looking at a real crab apple tree that went crazy this year. I had to duck to walk our sidewalk to the front door. I hate it that I lost a lot of apples but there's plenty left for the birds, butterflies, and people.
That's interesting. Are you going to try them in a flower pot? Over here, people use weed killer, or anything and still can't get rid of them. Now they sell organic dandelion greens in the grocery store for people...at a high price. I'm thinking stop poisoning your yard and you have free homegrown greens. Whatever...

Kindred spirits!
Hi Margo!!New tort added to the family. This is Margo, she is a mix between a Tunisian spurthigh and a Turkish spur thigh. She has got some pyramiding but she is a happy little tort
Guess what, Tangier Island now has WiFi internet and cellular service! Amazing. I brought my ipad thinking i could at least delete old pixtures and do house cleaning! But WiFi AND cell, wow! So, I’m connected.
I beat the rush of traffic over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and after that, very smooth sailing. No issues loading 28 kayaks onto the ferry or off loading on this side. But, very windy. Refreshing.
We went for an afternoon paddle...wind, sun, salt spray in the air. Warm brackish waters, filled with oyster beds, mussels, crabs and all kinds of birds. Wonderful vibrant green marsh grasses. We paddled enough to stretch out, get our things all wet and ready for a full day of paddling tomorrow.
Sun is still high at 1830. Time for a walk to the beach.

I just found out that my grown grand daughter, who lives in Texas, got a kayak from her inlaws for Christmas.
