COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Boy.
The room is suspiciously silent.

I did some yard work and noticed that my oldest tortoise pool is leaking. The fiberglass resin had delaminated from the cement and has cracked.
I'll have to change my recommendation on the use of fiberglass to seal a pond. Because every time I need to repair it, it's about another 40-50 bucks and only lasts a year or two.
The cement and the resin cure and shrink at different rates.

Yep, very quiet tonight.
I just use a double layer of thick plastic sheeting.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmmmmmm.
I never had a bowler hat, perhaps i should get one.
Used to wear a trilby and now, various hats.
I shall post a picture of my new hat tomorrow.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Anyway, due to the extreme quietness of the Cold Dark Room tonight (even the armadillos and hedgehogs are asleep early and the one-legged pirate's passed out, again.) I am going up onto the roof above the terrace and do a bit of stargazing.
Might be back before bedtime.
If not, a jolly good night to you all, wherever you may be, and I'll see you all tomorrow.

 

[Momof4]

I'm still lurking.
I'm super sick and enjoy reading here.

 

[Gillian M]

Nope.
But thanks anyway, Tidgy doesn't eat cooked food.
Tidgy is now awake and sends hugs to you both

Good morning Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

She could give it a try, and she might like it.

Regards to Wifey and to you. Kisses and hugs to Tidgy from Oli. He's in deep sleep and probably dreaming of "sleeping beauty."

Hi there! Nice to see you around, ad hope you are well.

Thanks!
I'm doing well enough!

 

[Gillian M]

Thanks!
I'm doing well enough!

Glad to hear that.

 

[Moozillion]

Well, a good lesson.
He's a nice chap, but we do both tend to wander off subject, which can be fun.
Tidgy is happy.
wifey is happy.
So I'm happy.
Hope you're happy, too.

When I was in training (back in the early '80s) I had a supervisor who was from England. She had been a nurse in London during the Blitz, and I loved getting her side tracked about her experiences! A lovely, lovely woman who was VERY practical and no-nonsense, but quite warm and kind.
She was probably my best supervisor, as much of her approach stuck with me. I miss her, but am grateful to have known her.

Good morning all. We're up bright and early again. This time to go on a pilgrimage to Roquefort for some cheese. There's a version you can only buy there; you can't buy it anywhere else.

We have decided to go there the hard way, over the Cévennes, to do a bit of birding en route.

I feel naked without one of my many baseball caps.

Good afternoon, as it's almost 3pm here.

What's going on with your knee??

Hi meech - nothing too serious I hope - just some pain on walking - maybe a bit of arthritis from an old injury. I think I'll live.
The one legged pirate and I only have one good pair of legs between us!

 

[Gillian M]

Morning! How are you?

Hi Meech hope you are well.

 

[Gillian M]

Here's another one for you @Lyn W :

After an attack by a tort, NOBODY survived the attack!
No tort has claimed responsibility, but it could have been OLI!

Hi @Lyn W .

What do you think of the attack? Could it have been Oli?

 

[Lyn W]

He says he repaired my SVT and found and repaired a flutter that was also previously undiagnosed. A total of 56 ablation spots.
I've been referred back to my cardiologist to re adjust my meds as needed.
Thanks.
It sounds complicated to me. But it seems to be very common and simple.

Good to hear that all is well Ed
He repaired your SVT too? I didn't know he did cars as well!
Oh hang on a mo - that's an SUV isn't it?

 

[Lyn W]

Hi @Lyn W .

What do you think of the attack? Could it have been Oli?

Imagine seeing a giant tort when you're on a train!
I think any one of them could have been the culprit!

Very sorry to hear you are unwell, Kathy.
Hope you get better soon.
Please continue to lurk.
And make sure you're eating enough cheese.
