A very large storm blew through our area yesterday evening. Tornadoes touched ground in a few spots, a building partially collapsed in Baltimore, a shopping mall a bit west of here was wrecked, trees down, tons of wind and rain.

Strong winds continue now, BUT the sun just poked out and lit up the trees in our back garden

Glad it’s not too bad! Stay safe.

There's no shortage of feral cats ... and little upside to viscious ones.

Jamie

I don’t think we have many feral cats around here. You never even see kitties outside because we have so many coyotes around here so our cats are indoor.

There is a colony down by the beach where a lady feeds them and tries to get them fixed. She tries to get volunteers to take shifts feeding them.

Some pictures from the Lysfest (Festival of Lights). The theme this year was Regnbue - Rainbow.

Here is Roskilde Cathedral during our little tour after dark into this place of burial of many Danish kings and queens and nobility:

Tomb of Margrethe I (Margaret the First), who was a queen of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in the 14th century at a time when women were rarely monarchs. She sought to unite Scandinavia and was nicknamed “the Lady King”.

From there we moved to our city library which had a treasure hunt for children. We walked through the sparsely lit library to find all the colors of the rainbow.

The treasure hunt took us to a nearby art house — to the other end of the rainbow.

It was a rather long day. [emoji42]

erm. . . maybe not quite so dull for the SA folks!

Final score England 12 - South Africa 11

SA could have won this in the first half, but England defended well. England played much better in the second half. A draw would have seen fair. I have seen better matches.

Elsewhere Wales beat Scotland 21-10 :) Good for me and Adam :)

Was it a little less dull once England started to score? :p

I guess @Lyn W is not into rugby. She’s the first name that comes to my mind when I hear ‘Wales’ :)

Only because there was more play. The first half had endless stoppages for rule infractions

I am half Welsh through my mother :) I’d be surprised if Lyn doesn’t have a rugby opinion :D

Picked up another 'found' sulcata this a.m. He weighs 55lbs and has been seen in the area for the past two weeks. Hopefully I'll find his owner soon. It's not a hardship to have him though, as I have an extra warm house off the backyard, where he is. But if I get in another large sulcata, then it will be a hardship. But this isn't usually the time of year they come in, so there shouldn't be any more in my immediate future.

He's quite a nice tortoise. Doesn't try to ram me, doesn't squirm when I pick him up. And his shell is quite smooth!

Someone’s going to be missing him! He is very handsome
