COLD DARK ROOM

Oh, no. That’s a huge hike in your bill... Someone will have to look into it. So sorry to hear, Yvonne, and a big electronic hug for what it’s worth.

Goodmorning everyone! I rearranged Opo's hides the other day. Now he is acting weird. Doesn't like coming out but when I get him out. He eats like a madman. Poops in his pool. Everything normal just doesn't want to come out. Dont know if it was in the first of the week. We were attacked by mosquitoes for a few days. The mosquitoes have subsided now during the day.

I had the solar repair guy out yesterday and as soon as he opened the cover on the older of the two inverters one could see what's wrong. There are two blue capacitor-looking gizmos soldered to connectors on the ceiling of the inverter box. One of them was hanging at an angle and upon closer inspection you could see that it was only hanging on by one soldering point instead of four. So that inverter hadn't been working for quite a while. As luck would have it, the unit was 10 years old (warranty age) in May of this year. Also, they don't stock that part anymore, so I need a new inverter. Looking on the bright side, the new inverter will be guaranteed for 10 years and my existing solar panels are supposed to be good for 20 years, that means the new inverter and the solar panels will run out of warranty/steam at the same time! Oh well. in 10 years I'll be 91, and probably not around anymore anyway!

My mums side of the family are always singing and stuff like that, however my dads side who all live in Scotland are very stern and serious. You wouldn’t catch them singing or dancing

Not even on New Year’s Eve/Hogmanay? Ive seen many a burly Scotsman whooping it up. Maybe they sang n danced once the wee uns were tucked away.

Side note...many years back, at a pub in the Highlands,I was asked to participate in the “first footing”. Quite a night.

Yay I can’t wait to see your babies.

I keep chickens, mainly Silkies and I hatched 16 last year I got quite a few males which was not good and I had to part with them recently as they were keeping the whole village awake!

Have to stop catching up here. Bought a lawnmower, so I have to test it. Sigh...
I’ve been busy with freelance projects this past week, but today’s my day off. For now. [emoji4]

Roommates, is this what I think it is — tort food?

Hey, everyone! Today I'm going to my daughter's house (she'll be at work), try to catch Vito, a Jack Russell Terrier who has always danced away just out of my reach when I reach down to pet him, and take him to the vet to have some crusty, bleeding old age warts removed. I can't tempt him with a doggie cookie because he's not supposed to have any food or water prior to being sedated. Wish me luck that I can catch him.

And constant reminders to drive on the “right” side of the road? Or is that why only the English use it?
