COLD DARK ROOM

Try dropping something really heavy on the laundry basket? (And please share the results!) [emoji23]
You’re a hero for swimming early in the morning, Linda!

I swim at a local private (very posh) school and you have to plan your visit around their timetable. Wednesdays are a traditional sports day at these schools, so the slots available are fewer. 6.30-7.30am was lane swimming only, but I need to do my shoulder exercises as well as swim lengths. For that I need the 7.30-8.30am free swimming slot when the lane ropes are removed!

And my Elsa, at 8 inches long, can go into Stealth Ninja Mode, too! Amazing hw they can seem to disappear right under our noses!

It is a talent I would love to cultivate for those occassions when I want to hide away for some piece and quiet.[emoji23]

Here’s a portion of the log I worked on yesterday. All lined up for splitting and burning up.

Wow. That portion is a lot of wood.

 

[CarolM]

Okay I put it in your parcel---.... Upps, in a parcel, I meant.

[CarolM]

You have a tractor you want replaced?

Whahahaha . Okay on second thoughts maybe not.

 

[CarolM]

Lol, this thread is insane. So much going on!

That is the fun part about it. Welcome to the Cold Dark Rooms. Pull up an armadillo and Montgomery will have a cup of coffee or tea. He will have both available for you.
Mind the hedgehogs. Don't step on them as you will be responsible for pulling out the porcupines yourself. If it is too dark just poke a jellyfish for some light and if something soft touches you in the dark it is probably the snow leopard who eats carrots. So hide all your carrots if you want to eat them yourself.

 

[CarolM]

Right!!! I know a guy [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I will ask you then - should I ever need your guy.

 

[CarolM]

OK, you do the house swap with @Pastel Tortie. Looks like a little sunshine might do you good.

I like your avatar. Whose tort is it?

 

[CarolM]

Good morning, roommates! Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Good Morning.
Have a fantastic one yourself.

You could always practice digging yourself into the baked bean substrate around Corner 7...

 

[CarolM]

P.S. Don't forget to submit your entries to the TFO Calendar Contest! The last day is tomorrow!

Already done. And of course not even a second later I wanted to pick a different photo. Lol it is hard to choose just one photo out of hundreds.

Joe loved climbing. He was very good. Scaling steps to get in the house was his favourite. He gave me a shock more than once! (And pooped on the carpet [emoji849])

Good morning all! The sun is shining and it is a lovely, if chilly, autumn day. I have been to the pool for my swim and am now trying to decide what to do to avoid ironing

Bake an apple pie and share with us. That should put the ironing off for a little bit at least.

No longer mine, unfortunately! That’s Kristoff, twice the star of the TFO Calendar.



Thank you

Are you an early bird?

 

[JoesMum]

Are you an early bird?

I’m definitely a Lark rather than an owl. I do mornings not late nights

Hmm. That might be a bit of an elevating experience.

Thank you

Oh Kristoff is gorgeous just like her name sake.

 

[CarolM]

I’m definitely a Lark rather than an owl. I do mornings not late nights

And I am the exact opposite.

 

[Kristoff]

Hmm. That might be a bit of an elevating experience.

I thought you wanted to dig in, not climb
