COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning all.

I hope you are feeling better this morning Adam.

And I hope you enjoyed your flight Sabine.... did you encounter the wool spider?

I am flying today... in a plane... I’m going to stay with JoesDad for a couple of days [emoji4]

You jet setter, you!
Good morning, Linda.
No, I still have a bad cold and now a hangover to go with it.
No more drinkies for me til Doctor Who's birthday in three weeks time.
I am now quite interested. The wool spider has never actually been seen. It may be mythical. Not real like the carrot-eating snow leopard, fruit flavoured flying jellyfish, armadillos, hedgehogs, penguins, One-Legged Pirate, his Leprechaun substitute etc.

good mornooning friends! managed my 0400 start today, looking forward to getting home to my bed already

It's no wonder you don't post much, nowadays!
You must be exhausted!
Good morning, John.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

0400 start ? That would kill me !

Good morning, Sabine!
The wool spider is still theoretical.
Good.

Ahhh, back in the days of raising my young family, I opened up the shop at 03:30. When the crew was getting started, I’d already be on my first break of the day. I loved those early start days, getting off work at 14:00 and stopping at a creek on the way home to have a go at fishing while enjoying a nice, cold, Coors in the sunshine. Coming home and the girls would be fresh home from school.
Can’t say I’d relish the idea now that I’m older with grandkids, but it was great back then.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sounds like a Halloween story to me, in many respects.
Early start, fishing, children, being young...........

Some people are "early birds" some people are "night owls". I am the second creature. I always was a night owl.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Some people

And here I am up all night at 04:09…

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I have replied to the "is keeping tortoises cruel" thing.
Hi de ho.

 

[JoesMum]

Hola! I’m sat at the bus stop waiting for my transport into the city. It’s nice and warm here. Glad I resisted the temptation to wear my fleece jacket

Ok, so here's the deal: Last year some of us exchanged Christmas cards. I don't know about the rest of us, but I really, really enjoyed getting cards from Forum friends, both here in the U.S. and from other countries.

So, Adam and I want to do it again this year. . . exchange cards, that is. How about you? If you want to exchange Christmas cards with us say so here in the Cold Dark Room and I'll add your name to our "Card Exchange" private conversation message. Then you go to the private conversation in your 'in box' and put your name and address on the private conversation, and pick up other names and addresses for your mailing list. Don't post your address here in the Cold Dark Room.

This is NOT connected with a gift exchange. It's cards only.

 

[Yvonne G]

Ok, I'll start:

YES!!!! I want to be on the card exchange list. Please add my name to your PM!!!!!!

Safe journey, Linda.
I'm sure you will, but..............
Have fun.

Waves and jumps up and down even more than John.
Me too, please, I would love to send you all Christmas cards.
Or failing that, postcards of camels.

So as to keep it so this old brain doesn't get confused, please stop using the private conversation labelled "Testing Adam's Theory of Relativity" for the card exchange. I'll look here in the Cold Dark Room for anyone who wants to be on the card exchange list, then I'll add you to the PM titled "the card exchange list".

To "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
or something?
