COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Good news from daughter this evening. She just got confirmation that she has qualified for her Dormouse handling license. She can now work unsupervised She has her appraisal next week so the timing is perfect

Congrats, JoesSis! (or CongRATs?)

Very nice...an official mouse handler! Next stop, CEO Disney.

And the uniform would include...

I went to the post office and the guy sent me home to use a different box to save money. Hmmm, now to find something smaller.
I was going to use a flat rate box.
I did get stamps for my cards that I haven’t signed yet.

Ran errands too!
It’s super windy today!! I’ve cleaned the pool twice already!!

"Post office" sounds very nostalgic to my ears now. (We have a kiosk at a supermarket that accepts mail, but they wouldn't have a clue about rates, sizes, timings...)

It's interesting how fate plays out. Yesterday a guy called wanting to adopt a water turtle. I explained that I don't take them anymore because it became to hard to find good homes for them. I was getting in too many.

Today I get a call from a gal who was driving home and picked up a turtle out of the street to keep if from being run over.

Needless to say, I called 'Larry' from yesterday and he's coming to get the turtle tomorrow!

It's a bit older than a juvenile, female RES turtle. This is pretty late in the year to be finding water turtles in the street. I'll bet someone tossed it out.

Hope 'Larry' picks her up and gives her the home she deserves.

Good Evening everyone

Hi Noel! Was it Shelly who painted one of her sisters in your profile pic?

 

[Kristoff]

Congratulations - I'm so glad her dormouse handling has been ratified.

RATified. Love it!

That's Lyn!

Good morning, roommates! Lovely to catch up on the posts as I'm having my coffee. Have a wunderschön Wednesday!

Thank god for people who wanted to become fire fighters. It's an awful job and those doing it are very dedicated.

@Billna64 is a fire fighter.

Good morning all. I think my brain has caught up with my body this morning. I feel far less wiped out than I did yesterday. I might be able to cope woth something more complicated than operating the washing machine... operating the iron isn't on the cards though

Fate is just wonderful sometimes.

It comes with the price tag of my "work days", especially my Saturday...

No it is fine, then, I will stick to my weekends. Yours are too hectic.

If you still can, keep voting. It will all work out in the end. Maybe.

Love the new Avatar.

"One last pix" is missing! Did the meerkats steal it?

LMAO about the calendar vote. Definitely, the meerkats!

One last PIX to be taken...I’ll get on that trimming project today. Yesterday was the banana, and more leaves.

Woke up to this beauty!
Happy Hump Day!!

Morning...

Ok, here are two quick pix of the now cut back and stowed away banana pot. Very sad looking...

Here is what is left - all the leaves trimmed off, and the major stalks cut in half



The interesting thing is that I trimmed the stalks at about noon. By this morning they all had pushed out new growth of about 1/2 inch or more.



Here are pix from the glory days of Summer....when fully leafed and reaching for the Sun.
