Good mornooning, roommates! Greetings from hot and humid Montreal!
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Nobody was home. I’ll have to try another day.
Here’s the interior
Water comes from a spring; he says it tastes like Évian (French mineral water from the Alps)
No wifi, just the mobile phone data signal.
He took his own food and the Bilberries (wild northern European blueberries) are everywhere. They’re tasty

Aagh yes, i had those when I was at Scouting World Jamboree in Lillehammer, Norway. Here, tall growing wild blueberries are often called “Huckleberries” - we used to go picking pints of these up in the woods, bogs, swampy areas in northeastern Pennsylvania where I grew up.
- Evidence has been found the the huckleberry actually got its name from a simple mistake. Early American colonist, upon encountering the native American berry, misidentified it as the European blueberry known as the “hurtleberry,” by which name it was called until around 1670 it was corrupted to become know as the “huckleberry.”
I’m not. I’d love to stay there!
I’m in! Looks cozy, except in a prolonged rainy cold wet period. But, cool Autumn, with the birches changing color a bit, nice breezes, a campfire with some reindeer venison, fresh fish,....a few bottles of good red wine.. we’re in. All topped off with the pine scent accented with the burning fires.. nice. Dark skies, stars, cool nights, no bugs. No noise. Peaceful.
They tend to like sheltered semi shade best.
Happy Monday (if there is a such a thing) to everyone.
Guess who left their laptop lead in work again on Friday?
Hope everyone had a good weekend - I'll be checking up on what you've all been up to as I try to catch up.

I'm going to show that to Lola and tell him that's what he will look like if he doesn't start to eat!!!!
Fantastic!! You must all be so proud of him and I bet he is over the moon with himself!!And the decision is in... Son has been awarded First Class Honours BSc in Digital Media. I am very happy, pleased and proud
He is now in Stockholm, Sweden.
Congratulations to JoesBro for a brilliant result!!
That's all the big tournaments visited then isn't it Linda?Good evening all. It's mid tennis season here so I am avraid I am somewhat distracted by watching. Tomorrow we are going to Eastbourne on the South Coast of England to watch the tournament there and next week we are going to Wimbledon as JoesDad secured tickets this evening
Looks like the weather is set to be good for the Wimbledon fortnight too!
What about lemon drizzle cake? My favourite!!!
Oh no what a mess for you to wake up to!
Hope you didn't lose too many fishies!
What an honest cabbie!
Restores my faith in human nature when something like that happens!
Poor crabs
There's a River Wye not too far from me.
In fact we were kayaking on the Wye when my friend and I ended on the island!
Spectacular scenery along it.
That would kill me!
I would be looking for a freezer like the one Todd works in!
That looks very snug!Here’s the interior

Lola has been a very naughty torty all weekend!!Let me know what he says
He has been worse than a toddler getting into all sorts of scrapes!
I put him out in the garden and blocked his way back to his room.
I found him stretching up on his hind legs resting his forelegs on the plank as if he were having a chat with a neighbour over a fence.
Then he tipped himself backwards and ended up on his back - luckily I saw that happen and managed to right him.
Then he pushed a heavy plant pot out of his way and stumbled down a step, instead of using his ramp which was the other side of it.
So he ended up on his side jammed between the ramp and pot, again I was there so was able to rescue him.
He has tried to squeeze himself into every small nook and cranny he could find and got stuck each time.
He will not eat unless I have hand fed him, although he did graze on some clover in his garden.
I have been very tough on him and just left him the food to get on with so apart from the small amount I gave him he has hardly eaten the last 2 days.
He is wearing me out!!!
