COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good Morning All.

I get soo dissapointed when I am finally caught up. Oh well I will just have to come back later to find new posts. Today is raining which is so awesome. I don't think that anyone is going to be complaining today.
Hey it is Tuesday ( just in case nobody knew![emoji16]) one day down four more to go. I have been procrastinating with my calendars and I really need to get them started so that they can be finished before Christmas. Oh well. Anyway better go into the office so the work day can start. ( I start at 8am but I often sit in my car just catching up on TFO before I need to go in and start. It is a sort of getting me started for the day ritual.)
Have an awesome Tuesday everyone. View attachment 257713

We have had a pretty dry Autumn this year but haven't had any water bans yet. This was in the news the other day - a village in Derbyshire that was drowned tin the 1940s to make a reservoir has been exposed because of the low water levels. People are able to walk amongst the ruins. Is the Ladybower reservoir anywhere near your mum, Linda @JoesMum ?

Have I shared this with you guys? An old video of my Elsa out of her enclosure, chasing after my red toenails

Mmm red! Must be something tasty!!
Now if only it would stop moving!!
Silly tort!
I may try that with Lola to lure him out in the garden next summer.
You must miss them when you look back at your pics and videos

Hello. LYN.
I've also missed you.

Hi Ed, missed you too!
I do pop in but it's usually quite late in the evening.
Hope all's well with you - how's work at Lowes?

Its going ok.
Nothing like the old job.
But I don't want to be overly critical just yet.
I've been busy with my projects. Some of them are rewarding.
I hope you are well.

Must be quite different to your old job but It will keep you out of trouble!!
All good with me thanks - work keeping me out of trouble too - unfortunately!

Nope, I make personalized calendars for my family and get them printed and then give them as gifts at Christmas.
Like this one:

Lovely idea, may get one made of my family - so that's just me and Lola.
Hmmm........my wider family may not be that impressed having me and a tortoise on their wall for 12 months!!

Greetings..

Thought you all would enjoy how we process fresh pineapple using one of those handy dandy “you have to see to believe” kitchen gizmos....

From fully ripe fresh pineapple, to perfect slices jarred away and ready to use in 5 mins or less..

The process: trim the top level, slowly rotate the tool into the top, right to the very bottom, slow and steady. Core stays behind.

I love pineapple but just buy tinned.

Been keeping an eye on the calendar competition.
Lovely to see that Jacques got a month!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Linda!

I must have a look at that.
That's great news for Bea and Jacques.

You must....it’s almost too easy to use.

 

[Lyn W]

You must....it’s almost too easy to use.

I'll look out for one.
Considering I don't cook I have practically every kitchen gadget going!
Including things like a cream maker and a lattice pastry roller!!

 

[Lyn W]

Sure, Debora. We all need our peas and quiet sometimes.

Good that's taken care of.
I'll have to dig out my book of excuses received by teachers to give you some inspiration!

 

[Lyn W]

I’ll catch up later. We are camping this week but I brought my cards and stamps. Hopefully I get time to address them.
Hi Adam!!

Have a great week camping!
I heard on the news that there'd been some much needed rain in CA today which is always case when I've been camping in UK.

 

[Lyn W]

Almost! Says, “we’re renovating downstairs and going to drill from 6:30 am every weekday.” [emoji33][emoji85][emoji23]

That will save you setting your alarm!

Hello, Adam
Morocco was in the U.S. news today.
Apparently some woman there cooked her boyfriend with some rice, etc.
Nice to know that crazy isn't just a symptom of living here.

Rice!!!
I prefer chips (fries) with mine -"....and a nice chianti" !
