COLD DARK ROOM

That sure is some good stuff! Kerry made a blueberry compote yesterday with some local produce. Then she bought me vanilla ice cream!

Lots of fish...and top third too? Pretty good! How's the boat engine running?

The air here is bad...kerry wouldn't let me do much outside today so I'm not tired yet. I'm thinking about riding my H1 up to the motorcycle shop tomorrow for tires as mine are way past their dates. We'll see.

Please pray for the wildlife being destroyed by the wildfires in Scotland and the wildfires in Canada.

Here is today's catch for the youth tournament. You weigh your 5 biggest fish. Even though it looks like we did fairly well. We placed 20th out of 60 boats in the tournament. My granddaughters have to do most of the work. My son and I can pilot the boat and net fish. The girls have to set the fishing lines out and reel the fish in. My son and I cannot touch the fishing rods. View attachment 401758View attachment 401759

Nice catch. Do you get to eat them?

Yes. Im praying for the people too. If we in Ohio are getting smoke so bad we're having air alerts.... Just think what Canadians are going through! It's causing a war of words between our friends in upper America. too.

It's all very sad and worrying. Those extra tariffs will soon sort the fires out though .

Good morning all.
The temps have dropped slightly but it's still higher than usual.
We really need some rain now. We had a few large drops a couple of days ago which I thought was going to be a good downpour but it only lasted for about a minute!

I need to go to the shops to buy some tort supplies as the weeds are suffering with the heat so are thinning out, but Tesco doesn't open until 10 a.m. on a Sunday. It will still be a bit cooler than later though.

The canary is still here. I think I may end up keeping him . So a new cage will be needed.
He's quite happy - singing along to the radio and eating well.
I've never wanted a bird and hoped I could return him home, but no one seems to be looking for him..
I never wanted a tortoise either but Lola and I have just celebrated 12 years together!
Where has that time gone? How my life has changed too - not always for the better because I haven't had a proper holiday since then....only short trips that he could come with me. Still, I wouldn't be without him now.
Well better make my way to the shop, so enjoy your Sunday and TTFN.

Richard and I never thought we would have a pet, because we knew we would be so distressed when it died. We did hatch several stick insects, and were able to keep them for a while, but that was all -and we did feed the many birds in our garden. So we went to the pet shop where we bought bird food one day, and the owner said "I've got some baby tortoises -would you like to see them?" It had only recently become legal to sell them, and we had never seen any. Love at first sight - especially of the one with a damaged shell and a swollen eye - and our lives changed in that moment ! That was 25 years ago, and Zola has enriched our lives in so many ways that we never would have imagined.
