A melting pot of cultures!
Next week we are going to Twickenham to watch the rugby. England v South Africa
No hooligan fighting in the CDR, please! [emoji23][emoji85][emoji23]
Not as many as last year, I guess. Can’t wait to see the entries and vote!
Good morning, roommates! Thank God It’s Monday! [emoji23]
Rugby doesn’t do hooligans. They don’t have to segregate the fans at matches like they do at football matches. Everyone sits together regardless of who they support and, apart from the inevitable digs which are almost always light hearted if your team is losing, everyone just enjoys the match. It is all very civilised
Good morning all. It’s still flipping cold here, but the sun is out. Looking at the weather forecast yesterday it seems that things are probably going to be colder and whiter for Lena and Sabine this week than here

Phew. I’m glad we don’t have to put you in separate corners. Because I’m not sure which one the Wool Spider is using now. There’re spiderwebs everywhere!
Yep - our local International Mart has fresh dandelion all year long. I have read that such market dandelion is really “Chickory” - but regardless, the greens are nice. And chickory per wiki, is part of the dandelion family.
- Common chicory, Cichorium intybus, is a somewhat woody, perennial herbaceous plant of the dandelion family Asteraceae, usually with bright blue flowers, rarely white or pink. Many varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chicons (blanched buds), or roots (var. sativum), which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and food additive. In the 21st century, inulin, an extract from chicory root, has been used in food manufacturing as a sweetener and source of dietary fiber.
That’s nice. I remember from my childhood in Central Asia the older generation was using chicory for medicinal purposes. We had lots of it growing in Turkey too, but I don’t remember if Kristoff and Elsa ate it.

Let the voting begin and maybthe best picture win.[emoji6]Answered above, sort of. And I think Mark answered it below. And the submissions are closed anyway. Woohoo! We won’t need to worry about megapixels OR megabytes for a whole year!

Yip. Lots of socks go missing there. That's why I don't wear socks when visiting them.
Or after visiting them... [emoji6]

Whahahaha. Mine look for dog poop. The cat buries hers under the sand. My son has to be very quick and clean up where torts are quickly. Don't want them eating dog poop.Maybe Elsa and Kristoff would have liked it better if I had served it that way. Neither were very keen on opuntia. But they had clover, dandelion, and plenty of other weeds to choose from. And Elsa was always on the lookout for cat poop...
I just wish it was a whole lot cheaper. I’d buy a whole lot more if it was half the price.

Hmm, do I sense a business opportunity in there? [emoji848]
Does Sully eat just the flowers or the stalks too?

Hmmm. Maybe over there. I speak under correction but it can get a little hot under the collars over here. I won't be able to watch, as we switched over from DSTV to netflix and netflix don't do sport. But i will be able to read up on the score in news24. Or maybe hubby will watch at a friends place and he can then give me a run down afterwards.Rugby doesn’t do hooligans.
