COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

Maybe it's code for a large diamond.
Not really a potato.

OK, I just have to ask. The mysterious potato. Does it look more like this:

Or like this:

It will look closer to the first, but possibly muddier

This is the Cold Dark Room's not so secret Santa or TORTOISE (Totally Obvious Really, The Origin Is So Easy)
We will all know when the parcel arrives who sent the parcel due to country or state of origin.
However, posting that John was first out of the Fez does not reveal who he has to send a package to or who he will be receiving his gift from.
At least until it arrives no one will know anything except who they have to post to.
Except me, of course, which is unavoidable.
The other Roommates won't know who is sending them a gift.

It's also dark in here, so nobody will see even if they did try to peep

And our entirely neutral and impartial guest of honour, the redoubtable Zacariah prepares to draw the first name out of the hat.

another face to the name

hello mr zac!! (waves)

 

[johnandjade]

Obviously, I cannot reveal the names of the rest of the Roommates as they come out of the hat.
But here is neutral and slightly ill with stomach ache as well as slightly aggrieved I'm ordering her and her camera about, wifey.
Making the second draw.

Starts off like the first one.
May, occasionally, end up like the second.
But would normally be full of cheese.
Good evening, Lena!

I don't generally lug large, or indeed even small, diamonds about the medina.
Luckily for me, wifey prefers small and subtle.
Moroccans go for big and showy, but it's just paste or coloured glass.

SNAPish.
Often muddy, but, as I select my potatoes individually (really), I scrape the mud off before they are weighed.

I though i'd posted a piccie before ?
Perhaps not.

She's got a bad stomach ache.
I do have sympathy but I'm not altogether surprised the amount of junk and vodka she's consumed this week.
She says, "Thank you" and "Oooooaw" or something like that.

This sort of thing would give me nightmares if I had them.
