COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Evening Adam.

Good evening!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Did you enjoy Zak's visit.

Yes, I had a lot of fun showing him my new fossils and he played with the Tidge for a bit.

Hi, Roomies! I started my Fossil Turtle thread over in Off Topic Chit Chat!

Yayyy. Well done.

Good Morning Roommates
Good to see everyone
I hope all are well

We are over here in SA. How are you doing.

Wow. I am beginning to appreciate living in SA.

Good morning, Noel
Happy as Larry here.
Got the tree down and packed away and everything tidied up and cleaned.
Christmas is finally over!

We are busy spring cleaning. My husband wants to get rid of everything and I want to keep it all. So it is slow going as we have to find the middle ground.

May I ask who Zak is?

It's the same here.
I want to throw everything out (unless it's mine) and wifey wants to keep it all.
Goodness!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

May I ask who Zak is?

He is a Moroccan friend of mine who I've know n for 10 or 11 years, since he was a teen and looks after Tidgy when wifey and I are away.
Very intelligent and totally trustworthy, I have taught him English and Latin and he reads books! Very rare here.
He is a member here and pops in occasionally.

Lol. I think I should start buying one for each of my boys as well as they are also greedy and want to eat lots of potatoes.

That's 1kg each ... plus a loaf of bread each... plus the entire contents of the larder ... and the refrigerator... and they're STILL hungry. Boys take a lot of feeding. My weekly shop cost double while son is home from university

Hello Adam!
I hope everyone in the CDR has had a better day than me. Spent the last 4hours in town, going from one store to the next trying to find pants that fit right. Being 6ft is not easy.. nothing is long enough or they don't fit my hips right. I am one of the few women who despises clothes shopping!

Me too. I'm 5'11". I hate shopping for clothes... and shoes. I have big feet and long legs. It's easier to find stuff that fits now than it was when I was a teenager in the 1970s, but the hatred is long set in now.

Good evening all. I just caught up. It's been quite busy offline, so I can't be around in here much

Good evening, Linda!
Nice to not see you!
Good busy, I hope.

Good busy, I hope.

Mixed bag... Ears syringed (helped but I fear my deafness is getting worse), dentist checkup (pass), attending talk on short haired bumble bee reintroduction at Dungeness and gardening for pollinators (fascinating and useful), and lots and lots of stuff for next week's trade show with my other forum!

I better go cook dinner. Not see you later hopefully

Sounds mostly positive.
I am deaf in one ear and the other slowly going so I now that feeling.
Have a nice din-dins.

Goodness!

Lol. Must be a female and male thing then.

Oh awesome. That makes it double nice that he visited today. It is always good to have good friends visit.

I am sort of lucky. The eldest eats me out of house and home and the youngest is a vegetarian and eats like a bird. So they sort of balance each other out. Well almost. If both of them eat like my eldest I would have to declare bankruptcy.

Nice to have you back even for a short while.
