COLD DARK ROOM

I am pretty sure they are unmanned. They have had a problem before with the landing of the booster at sea. A few weeks ago the rocket that launched had 60 satellites to upgrade the internet around the world.

That's amazing!
It's incredible to be able to launch satellites remotely from earth - pretty mind blowing when you stop to think of it.

Yes....it’s been going on for 60 years

Between the Russan Space Program, the US NASA program and European Space Agency, coupled with China and other countries, theres has been lots of activity with launches.

I'm just amazed such big launches are unmanned.

Usually you don’t pic them up as human skin absorbs moisture from their bodies over a certain period but today I couldn’t help myself, they were on my hand for a couple seconds before hopping of.

I've always loved frogs and toads. As a child they were irresistible to me. That little toad hanging around my backdoor is from last year. For some reason he likes the cans and has all along. Maybe I can use a little piece of aquarium furniture on a terra cotta saucer for a little protected house for him. I'm probably being ridiculous but ask me if I care. He's too cute and irresistible.

And a sanded smooth aquarium house on top of the little saucer. Sounds cute too me. I love love love it...he's my first little toad that decided he likes it better at my backdoor...instead of the lower part of our yard...

Last visit of the day. See (or not, as the case may be) you all tomorrow!

My niece has been working in Miami for the last couple of weeks and she says it's done nothing but rain there! Not what she was expecting at all.

Yep. It's summer and it pours down torrents of rain every day...usually at the same time of day...I lived in that area. I did eventually love it but you have to learn how to live there first.

May I point you to the lovely selection at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds?

There’s a good selection in the many Welsh castles which are closer to Lyn

Cathie G said:

You've given me an idea. I have extra terra cotta saucers. I'll kind of bury one and put some thing over it. It's funny because the little one likes that spot. Yes toad house. He might like the cans and bags for the moisture and protection. It's really fun because even though I tried a toad house before in that spot...this is my first toad that loves that spot.

It’s the moisture as key. They shelter in damp places.

Good mornooning all. The wind got up last night and the air feels fresher at last. It is so nice to be able to move without the horrid humidity reducing you to a puddle of sweat.

Temperatures are due to continue to rise but hopefully the humidity will stay low which makes it easier

I am 25 miles away. Here is a morning launch about a year ago. It was going thru a cloud. View attachment 275446

Ray, are you close enough to feel it?

Back in the early 90's I saw a nighttime launch. We were in Ft. Pierce, about 60 miles away. It was beautiful! A pinpoint of light that suddenly exploded across the horizon into an orange glow. The rocket arced directly over our heads, or so it seemed.

It's a good memory for Pete and me. I'm so glad I've witnessed that once. It's something I wish everyone had the opportunity to see.

I don’t see why you shouldn’t do it, it’s a good idea.

Goodnight to you too! Sleep well.

Good morning all, it's bright but breezy here at the moment and looks like that will continue for a few days.
I had such a weird dream last night.
I dreamt that hundreds of baby spiders were hatching (probably because one was walking across the window of my car yesterday) but then they turned into tortoises and I was running around trying to find nice gardens for them to live in. Don't know if I succeeded - I woke up or changed dream .
Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

Oh yes we have plenty of castles, not all with armour in but there would be a pretty good selection in the ones that do!
