COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

We used to have adverts on tv for Hamlet cigars that were funny. The cigar didn't feature until right at the end when the man in the ad would be given a cigar after whatever mishappening, light up and then the punch line "happiness is a cigar called Hamlet"

I've never been a cigar man.
But some of these adverts were terrific.

Good morning all. We are up bright and early for the second part of our journey. We don't have far to go, but we need to get to our destination before the street market closes at lunchtime. We have food to buy!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssse!
Good afternoon, Linda.
I'm sure you're going to have a great day, but I'll say, "Have fun", anyway.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I can do that too!

Good morning Linda! Wishing you a fun day and safe travels.. selfishly, because I do love reading about them[emoji16]

Arrived in Uzès. [emoji4]

Cheese bought as a priority from the farmer who always sells out early. Now relaxing in a café

We used the paint left over from the Citroen factory in 1960 and haven't repainted since. Same tables and chairs too.
Dangle some washing about somewhere and make sure all the menu blackboards are tilted to a slight angle!
Voila! Authentic French rustic simplicity.
Seriously, it looks quaint.

Don't forget, it's just a crumb in the eye - not the whole baguette!

That would be the control in the experiment.
Good afternoon, Lyn.

Is that you being eaten feet first by a velociraptor (or something)?

No, silly!
I am acting as the Gallimimus, very little make-up required on my body.

Good morning everyone, overcast here today.
I am having lunch with some friends today so looking forward to a good natter.
Have a good day and I'll not see you later.

Have fun and a nice natterjack, Lyn.

G’day All

Saturday = longer kayaking trip...so up early, boat on the truck, things packed, time for some coffee, then hit the road to Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Here’s the area (Prospect Bay) where we will be paddling....so everyone have “fun” or relax or garden or teach or sing away.... ciao.

You cannot overload the Cold Dark Room.
It has overload dampers.
Post away.

Looks inviting! What was for lunch?

Crepes - a very thin pancake with ham, cheese, onion and egg topping accompanied by a cup of cider (French cider is traditionally served in what looks like a tea cup)

Good morning, Heather!
Have a super Saturday.

Good morning Adam! I’m trying to start it off as slow as possible. I have a dumb question for you. I see posts from “Tidgy’s Dad”and I see post from “]”
Can you clarify if these are both you or is there another person involved that I’m ignoring?

Perhaps that's my new forum name - ]
Can't say I like it that much.

Hello, and welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
The One-Legged Pirate will fetch you a bevarege of choice if we've got it, which we probably haven't since I closed the Drunken Penguin bar.
Pull up an armadillo and sit down, but be careful as the hedgehogs like to sit on them too and it's a bit dark in here. (very, actually) Unless you poke a jellyfish with a stick that is, then they light up a bit for a while.
Enjoy.
