COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm on the train. I took this photo of Tonbridge School's main entrance as I walked to the station.

It's one of the oldest, and poshest, private boarding schools in the country; founded in 1553. Boys only aged 13-19. It costs thousands of pounds to study there. They have lots of foreign students. The grounds are vast!

It actually looks quite intimidating ! !
As it should.

I need some too, Sabine. Do you mind if Adam @Tidgy's Dad divides them into two?

Hello Gillian, I don`t mind when he does ( divide ).

 

[Bee62]

We cooled down last week. Charlie spent a couple of nights in his heated night box. It is back in the 90s now and he is sleeping outside in his summer house.

Does he choose by himself where he wants to sleep, or have you decide for him what is best ?

Hello Gillian, I don`t mind when he does ( divide ).

Thanks a lot Sabine, and good afternoon.

Good morning, Gillian and Oli.
Still nice and warm here, but not as hot as it was.

Good afternoon Adam. Hope you're all well back there.

 

[Gillian M]

I will send you a donkey load each.

Thanks Adam. Though I have a feeling I'll need more than that.

 

[Gillian M]

Twas sausages, potatoes and lots of yummy veggies.

Glad to know it was "YUMMY." I had............

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!

Donkeys are expensive, Gillian.
And by the time it gets there it will be summer again.

Donkeys aren't all that slow, are they? Slow as a tort?

 

[Gillian M]

Adam, @Tidgy's Dad , look at this donkey, "flying!" Told you, they're not that slow. Therefore it'll be COLD, FREEZING COLD here when he arrives.

Not quite.
And not as stubborn.

Gives him a rest, I suppose, poor thing.

One thing I am sure of: they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STUBBORN.

 

[Gillian M]

I won't! I need the warmth, believe me. I do not want to freeze to death. Please don't forget that torts are cold-blooded and need warm, if not hot weather.

Okay, i'll whip him into shape.
And send two to share the load.

He chooses himself. He doesn't always make the right choice but he is too heavy to move. Once winter really starts, he will get into the pattern of using his nightbox every night.
