COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good.
For those of you who don't know, in The UK, we count magpies when we see them :
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.
Eight for cheese.

Eight is a wish... although I suppose the wish could be cheese

Love the woodwork and the stained glass, particularly the second one.
St Paul's was the site of a Cyberman invasion from the sewers.

And Shakespeare's Globe the location of a Carrionite incursion:

And boo to the camels!

I had just finished one that was really good and thought I'd ask if anyone on here had seen it lol.

Nope sorry. They might have though. I am terrible at those things.

[CarolM]

Well, I've read all the 'new posts' and I'm not ready to turn off the computer. What to do. . . what to do???

You could start talking to yourself via the posts. I have done that a couple of times.

 

[CarolM]

Of course, cake for everyone! Great thing about birthdays, you get an excuse to cheat on your diet[emoji12]
Here is the cake, doesn't look like anything special.
My daughter's name is Eva.View attachment 231388

[CarolM]

No!
Only I have three!

Okay I will take your extra day then. Now just to get my hubby and sons to agree.

Hmmm. I see it is slowly going from -1 to 6. So just another 20 days then it will be 26. Which is much better.

Good Saturday Day everyone. Hope the birthdays, Saturday's and weekends are going well.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How many for rain?

It continues :
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird
You must not miss,
Eleven for runshine
Twelve for rain
Thirteen for meerkats,
A bit of a pain.


So you need twelve.
Do you have flocks of magpies in South Africa?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Dr Who?

Yup!
The Cybermen want you to live forever.
So they will take away disease and pain and ageing and death, take away sorrow and grief, misery and all those pesky emotions.
Upgrade you into a superstrong, emotionless half-machine.
Doing you a favour.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Saturday Day everyone. Hope the birthdays, Saturday's and weekends are going well.

Good early evening, Carol.
We're both still conscious at this point!

Dreary, wet, foggy and overcast here in the Mid Atlantic states. Slight drizzle too. Springtime is here, but no sunshine.

Hi, Kathy!
Meerkat sabotage, I expect.
You're trying to transfer them from Youtube, yes? You can't load them directly to here. Put them on Youtube then just copy and paste.

They won’t open when I click from my camera roll. I get a pin wheel that goes around and around. I have four videos and I’m trying to load the best one.

It was never a home. Lord Astor used this building as offices from where he managed his UK and US property empire

The Astors lived at Hever Castle not far from me in Kent. The castle was the childhood home of Ann Boleyn who became the second wife of King Henry VIII (she got beheaded)
