COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good evening to anyone still up and/or about!
My little chat with the neighbour was much easier than expected and she was unusually amicable.
Catching her on her own was the right tactic.
Mind you she wants me to cut my shrubs so she had something to gain by being nice too.
I had a hospital appointment this morning so was able to ambush her in her garden before I left.
Hope you have all had good Mondays and that Tuesday will be even better!
I'm off to bed now to try to catch up on the sleep I missed out on last night.
Nos Da pawb!

Oh well done Lyn! That’s a result with the neighbour

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all.

Unlike Lyn it’s not too hot for me yet and I am sleeping well. Our house is well insulated and stays reasonably cool most of the time thank goodness.

It's very tempting... There is a house about 10 minutes from us that is up for auction through an online auction place. It's got more land than ours and the house is the same size. It's got a Huge, fancy greenhouse on it. It's got 20 days left on auction, oh it is so tempting! The thing is I think this is a property that got seized in a bust a few months back for illegally growing cannabis. It would explain why it's not being sold through a realtor or bank.
We may go look at it if the price stays low.

Hmmmm sounds like it has some potential. If you do decide, you will have to teach your daughter to recognise cannabis and pull them out. Wait on second thoughts maybe it is a good thing she does not like pulling weed. And clunker might just get some happy thoughts by accident. Good luck.

Actually he has just ripped out most things and is still in the process of replacing them.
The whole mess is very depressing. I'm pretty sure it's been more than two weeks and there is no sign of Clunker's enclosure getting started on any time soon...and I still have no power in my art room.

Oh dear. That is very sad. If it is a nice day outside, go and put Clunker in his enclosure and have a rest in the sun, watching him and the wild life. While your daughter does finger painting and feet painting on a huge piece of paper outside with you.

 

[CarolM]

Very true Bee!
Today he dared to venture outside so I put some food out for him and he started to eat it and then nibbled on clover.
Hooray!!!!!!!
Then suddenly as if he remembered he wasn't supposed to be doing that he stopped and took himself back in!
Boooooo!!!

I think he is playing you!!!

Glad your talk went well with the neighbour. This is where living on a farm or a really big piece of land can be advantageous. No close neighbours.
Good Night Lyn. Hope you have a good rest.

 

[CarolM]

I’m sorry about that We knew there was a chance it wouldn’t go through but I still hoped...

I am still happy though. As it is the thought that counts. Thank you so much for thinking about me.

You have a lovely house by the sounds of it. I mean Bluet-it's, hedgehogs, insulation, Lovely conservatories..... Need I go on.

That would be a highlight for Clunker!
Sorry, Carol started it.

Oh, hold that thought until the TORTOISE gift exchange

 

[CarolM]

Sorry, Carol started it.

No I didn't BamBam did by mentioning Cannibas.

 

[CarolM]

Oh, hold that thought until the TORTOISE gift exchange

Speaking of that. If I ever do get this card, it will be a good test on the time frame needed.

Hi roommates! Between the aftermath of daughter’s birthday (with all the sugar-related acute personality disorders), the Turkish election, and the stress of the upcoming travel (although it’s not this one, but the one into the unknown that we’ll possibly be making around this time next year, that is causing most stress), I was having my introvert moment. Hope everyone’s well. [emoji173]️

Oh Shame introvert moments are allowed here. Yvonne has them all the time. And I have been tempted to have them a good few times as well. Lol. How did your recent trip go? And does Canada (or did you go somewhere else - I can't remember)? have potential?

 

[Bee62]

I have hedgehog food ... and always water dishes. They were there for Joe, but the birds use them too and they have never been removed

You are a good hedgehog mum.

 

[Bee62]

If eggs are hatching in my garden then we were VERY wrong about Joe [emoji23]

Yes, indeed !

 

[Bee62]

It sounds like all is going well today in your little corner of the globe Enjoy the rest of the day

Thank you, I have.

 

[Bee62]

Here’s in update.
The flooring took almost all day!! My husband was so done with it when he had a few planks to lay but he pushed thru.

[Bee62]

Good evening all hope everyone is well just popped in to say hi

Hi Laura. Thank you for popping in and "Hi" back to you. Give Elvis and Clyde a little kiss of me.

 

[Bee62]

Oh Sabine. You are such a special person (actually all who are in the CDR are such special people to me).
I am so glad that your leg is sleeping.[emoji6] May it wake up right as rain and perfectly healthy.
A little rain is good to have. Those awesome dandelions you found need it. How awesome that you found some dandelion, your torts are going to be very happy.
Well done lambs, kitties and doggies for all doing so well.
Your corner seems to be doing great. I hope it stays that way.[emoji8]

Hi Carol. Thank you for your kind words. Yes my corner is doing great and I`ll always try to keep it running that way all the time. But I am a great pretender ......
I don`t think that I am special, or we all are special. We have a special friendship here. You are special too, and Dan and Linda and Kathy and Mark and Adam and Lena and Brandy and Laura and ....... all our lovely roommates I forgot.
