>>>>About Indians. Here in America, a lot of people think of "scalping" when they think of Indians.
Did you know that us settlers invented it? It was a way of proving how many Indians you killed so that you could get money for doing so. Good old genocide.
Apparently, the Indians weren't too happy about the practice. (imagine that) And turned it back on us. Those savages.

See, some nice history........
But scalping evolved separately in many 'cultures', and with the indigenous Americans as far back as at least the 14th century.

Good afternoon all.

We're in our room and trying to recover before dinner. My feet ache! The weather is gorgeous.

Everything, including the champagne bottles on the right of the second picture, made of chocolate!

Temptation resisted today, but that may not last!

Looks YUMMY!

We have nothing so ancient and interesting here in America,

Definitely true Ed.

Don't forget USA is relatively "young."

 

[Lyn W]

Not much.
Lungs burning, aches and pains and very tired.
Trip probably postponed again 'til tomorrow.

Oh dear, I think you need a visit to the docs Adam.
Do you have a hospital/surgery near you?
You need to make sure you don't have some sort of infection.
Whatever you decide to do take care and make sure you rest.

 

[Gillian M]

sorry to hear hope the tidge is looking after you.

i'm having a 'cant be bothered' day today

Oh, I'm sure Tidgy is looking after her dad.

Good evening Lyn. Hope you and Lola are well.

I totally agree with you: @Tidgy's Dad should see a doctor. AND....postpone trip.

[Gillian M]

It seems to be extremely quite here at CDR, today, @Lyn W . Or is it that "scary" silence?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Adam.
You HAVE seen doctors about your issues haven't you?
I assumed you had

Wales is full of old castles - they'll be nice when they're finished!


This one is finished and is called Castell Coch (red castle) its small by most comparison to most castles.

I like the chocolate chess set.

Not so much 'check mate' as 'choc mate?'

Aren't people barbaric! At least animals only kill for food.
