COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

Good afternoon all. So here we ate in Devon - the extreme South West of England... the opposite side to where we live.

Yesterday, I caught the train to Southampton (which is pretty much dead centre on the South Coast) and stayed with daughter.

We had a lovely time watching Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella last night. The ballet is set to the traditional music by Prokofiev, but the story is set in wartime London with Prince Charming being an American Pilot... and a male Angel instead of the fairy godmother. It was brilliant! The dance was so good!

This morning we headed West through fog and driving rain. This was a shame because the views should have been glorious. We drove over Salisbury Plain which is where Stone Henge and other stone circles can be seen in better weather

The little village of Appledore, where we are staying, is on the West coast. It was dry until about half an hour ago, so now we hace retreated inside for hot drinks.

It’s got very narrow streets and loads of colourful cottages. You’ll have to wait for the rain to stop for pictures of ours

Some postcards

Lovely postcards. And oh my goodness that is a really small door. The Ballet sounds like something really worth going to watch. Glad to see that you are having fun.

Your Grandson is very cute. You will probably miss him at first but I am sure that you will enjoy the free time. Before you know it you'll be wondering how on earth you were able to fit everyting in.

The sun came out around lunch time. Still happy though for the bit of rain we did have. Before I forget - I hope everyone has a Happy Good Friday.

Hello everyone. Today web cam shows that it is all okay with the eagles. I am glad. I feared that when one of the adults die the other can`t raise the eaglets alone.

 

[Bee62]

Not sure if the pictures worked. Anyway. Hope everyone is well.

The picture work and are interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Waves! We are doing great! Busy as usual. My husband has been in China and I’m holding the fort down.
We are leaving for Hawaii in a week so

I’m trying to get things in order for our house sitter. She has a zoo to take care of over here! She sleeps here so I need to deep clean, especially our room. That’s always the last place I take care of because nobody sees it[emoji4]

Hope you’re doing well!!

Waves back ! Yes I am doing well. Thanks for asking. Enjoy Hawaii. Please think of us with pics from your jorney.

Hongi, all my friends in the CDR!! I'm hoping the slight pain/discomfort in my abdomen is only a humdudgeon. Hope all of you are doing well today!

 

[Bee62]

Glad you are all watching! And enjoying.

Yes, we do. Thank you Mark for the link.

I dug up a nest of leopard eggs this afternoon. Thank goodness I don't have triskaidekaphobia!

Is it real that in America the house number 13 or the 13th floor of a hight tower do not exist ??

Some people carry their humdudgeon every day to a doctor. Every day another humdudgeon.
Thank you, I am well. I have eliminated all my daily humdudgeons !

 

[Bee62]

Great...!

The eagle cam is very interesting entertainment. I watch it every morning when I am on my PC.
Do you recognize the the little eagles get their steady feathers on the wings, back and butt ????
That`s cute. I see that with my little chick every year. Hatched with the "baby feathers" they get the steady feathers two weeks later.

Yup. Goes from 12 to 14.

 

[DE42]

Yup. Goes from 12 to 14.

There are some that do and some that don't. Just depends on how superstitious they are. Lol
I find it funny.

In Japan a lot of places skip the number 4 because the words for 4 sounds too much like death.

 

[DE42]

I want this. I won't get it lol. But I do like it.
