I'm the opposite. I always got excited. And made new friends easily. But I then also learnt to forget the old friends easily as well. I haven't moved much since I got married but in compensation the furniture was re-arranged quite a bit. LOL.

I hear you about the furniture! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Well that was quick. All caught up. I had a nice relaxed weekend. Got stuck in a book reading. Did laundry on Sunday. Even though it was storming. My laundry room is outside at the back. And the door had been blown off on saturday night. So that has to be sorted out somehow this week while the weather is nice. At least the garden was given a really nice wash and water with all the rain we had. And hopefully it has helped with the dams. It is really cold here ( for us at least) there was snow in ceres. Which is about 135.5 km and 1h 34 min from Cape Town. Photo is compliments of my brother in law.
Anyway I hope it is a good Monday for all and hopefully I won't have a Blue one as the office has a heater [emoji6] .View attachment 249532

Please thank your BiL for the photo. I’m surprised it occasionally snows in some parts of South Africa!

Caught up! [emoji28] I had a busy Sunday at the Russian festival, though only as a spectator — they didn’t need my help (phew!). Monday is my day to relax.

I hope I was able to put my point across regarding Adam. I want him with us, but I don’t want to be selfish. I don’t know if he wants to be here. We surely miss him, all the time! I also feel I fought hard to bring him back after the 100K incident — I kept messaging Adam, I picked up a fight with the interfering mod, trying (unsuccessfully) to get him to apologize to everyone in the CDR... I have no idea what happened now, and I don’t need to know. I’d love it if he could be back with us, regularly or sporadically, but it’s his call.

Oh shame. Well winter is trying very hard to hold on tight over here.
Shame is the right word ! It is getting colder and colder. Night temps had been 8,5 C ( 47,3 F ) last night. Day temps are 15 C ( 59 F ) now ! Just a week ago we were melting in Germany and now I need the central heating in the evening.:confused:
Weather is crazy !!!!:confused:

I love that man. And I want him back. But I have a big question: Does he want to be back? Or is he too busy now for all our nonsense?.. He’s a dear friend and he’s the reason we’re all in the dark together. I want him back—provided that he wants to be here too.

Hi Lena - yup this is my last week of freedom I will be back in work next Monday 3rd Sept. :(
We have 2 training days though so we'll be broken in gently as no pupils will be in until Weds. :)

Lyn, do they bring you flowers on the first day of school? Or is it just a Russian tradition?

Adam you know how we all love you and miss you when you take your breaks, for whatever reason.
You are never far from everyone's thoughts in your absence.
Although the rest of us still have fun and support each other, we still miss your wit and wisdom when you disappear.
The CDR is your brainchild and you more than anyone should be here.
So as soon as you feel ready, please come back and make a lot of people very happy.

No - they usually just bring us a lot of hassle and cold germs! ;)
Some do bring gifts for Xmas, Easter or at the end of the year, which are always lovely to receive.
I still have every ornament I have been given.... they may not always be to my taste and live in a cupboard or the attic but I couldn't throw them out after they have been given with such excitement and appreciation.

Dear Adam,

I want you to come back, because without you the CDR is not the same as it used to be.
I love you and I need you.:<3:
I came to the CDR in November 2016. You invited me like other newbies: Grab an armadillo, don`t step or sit on a hedgehog and the one legged pirate will serve me a drink......
My English was not well trained and a little bit rusty... I had to check with a translator what an armadillo is. The imagine to sit on an armadillo pleases me because of it`s sillyness. You know I am silly and silly people can smell sillyness between the lines of written or spoken words.
I stayed in the CDR learning the names of my roommates ( that was the hardest thing to do !;) ). My English was getting better and better and I love that feeling thinking in English when I am on TFO and in front of my keybord.
Making new friends all over the world in the CDR was a lovely and great experience for me too ! I am thankful for the new friendship. That is what I want to tell all my roommates !
I never regret one single hour I spend in the CDR.
Adam, you created this chat for us and because of you it is still alive. We all love you and need you. Could there be a bigger compliment in the whole world ? I think no.:)
Fight your personal demons and come back. Talk sillyness and puns.
Let us do another nightflight as bats.:)

Sabine
