COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Snow is white,,
Snow is cold
Snow is beautiful to behold.
I love its feel
So soft and cool,
But I love it most
When it shuts the school!!

A little ditty by me on my appreciation of any extra days off we sometimes get because of snow!!

Wordsworth! Bravissimo!

I hate it when you wait around all day for someone and they don't show.

Well, my house is all dusted and vacuumed and ready for company.

My daughter told me about a cute kid's book called the Wonky Donkey, so I asked my friend, Amazon, to send me a copy. It's really a cute story. But if you want to get the full effect, go to the viedo of "Scottish Grandmother tries to read the Wonky Donkey. I was laughing so hard I think I pee'd a little. I'll try to give you a link:

I saw the link in Italy but didn’t have enough coverage to watch. Turns out in Denmark the video is unavailable.

Greetings from Denmark! I’ll be catching up with y’all in the next few days...

Hello to Denmark and to you ! Good to have you back, Lady.

Another one of my favourites to listen to and play on the piano!
You have done a wonderful version of it Bee!
Thank you!

Who needs the Gees when Bee is here? I love this song! Thank you, @Bee62!

Wait!! That is not Spike . Whahaha - almost had me fooled.

Your thinking of snap, that's spike, one of my bigger sliders.

 

[Kristoff]

They're fine. And mostly in the pitch dark as the power is still mostly out.

Hope everything’s fine by now. [emoji173]️

OMW that would take me a whole year to eat.

You know, sharing is caring... Just sayin’

 

[Kristoff]

No. I think it is one of those special pet doors and Mark is going to put the corresponding collar on Sully which will unlock the door when he gets near it. [emoji6]

Brilliant. Mark just might use your idea next time he feels like completing a project [emoji23]

I self medicated It was "couriered" to my table along with a pot of tea

As you were hunting for that nasty wasp, I was dealing with dozens of mosquitoes in Florence. I get a bad reaction to their bites. That made me miss Denmark - no mosquitoes this time of the year!

License has been done and now we are at Blouberg Beach. You can see Robbin Island across the way. And Table Mountain to the left. The surfers are all out and doing their thing.View attachment 254010View attachment 254011View attachment 254012View attachment 254013View attachment 254014View attachment 254015View attachment 254016

Crazy. It’s almost winter up here! [emoji23] (Gorgeous views!)

Yours are nice. My one that I had, broke off in a storm that we had a few weeks back but I see that a new shoot is coming up now. Thank goodness.

Run, Run, run as fast as you can.

 

[CarolM]

Your thinking of snap, that's spike, one of my bigger sliders.

Ohhh that is right, Holi ha. Sorry Snap, how could I get you confused. I am a Bad Bad girl.

 

[CarolM]

You are more than welcome to have some.

 

[Kristoff]

Run, Run, run as fast as you can.

Phew. I’m out of breath here!

 

[Kristoff]

You are more than welcome to have some.

Oh, thank you! I had an interesting pizza in Rome, in an area called Trastevere - a foodie and nightlife hub of the city. The pizza had a thin crust, as Roman pizzas go, and had zucchini and hot red pepper as the topping. I’d never had a spicy pizza like that, and am generally not into spicy food, but it was good!

Talking of spice, before our Italy trip we had dinner (braai, of course!) at our South African friends. They had a spicy tomato sauce from over there and I loved it!

 

[Kristoff]

Hello to Denmark and to you ! Good to have you back, Lady.

It’s good to be back!

 

[Kristoff]

Cold. Lol. I actually don't know. Hubby says it is about 15 degrees Celsius.

It was 15 C here too! Yaaaay, Denmark was on par with South Africa!!!! Who can now say we don’t have a great climate [emoji23][emoji23]

Poor boy. I hope he can recover. And it is always said that sharks usually don`t attac people.

Most sharks don’t. But I wouldn’t put that theory to a test, no matter what they say about the “Russian” roulette

 

[Kristoff]

Wow. you are visiting very special places.
Hopefully you don`t disturb the Vesuvius in his sleep.

It’s been dormant since 1944. And for over 200 years before 79 AD...
