COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I'd love to get a video of our subadult male beardie's morning beard exercises, but he gets a little self conscious if there's too much attention called to him in the middle if his beard stretches.

I get to view his beard stretches from the side (profile), as he almost never displays his extended beard directed toward the front of the tank. He usually directs the full beard displays toward the ends of the tank.

Pixie likes to get on top of the tank in the mornings and watches his beard exercises from above.

Lucky Pixie. maybe ask Pixie to get a video for us.

Not sure I’d trust Joe with telling me anything.

Oh, you don’t mean my Joe!

Sounds like it's soup day for everyone. We are having potato soup (cheddar broccoli variety)

With all this soup going around I am now craving soup.

 

[CarolM]

I should be in bed now, but instead I am here getting to my number 1000 post. Feel so extreemly dizzy the last two days. I could not sleep anymore. Better to just sit here... lol

Please be careful. Maybe all the posts will help put you to sleep.

 

[CarolM]

So this is my number 1000 post. Yeah!!

Yayyyyy. Well done.

 

[CarolM]

I thought there would be more of you here. Oh well...

I am here now. Here I am - *Waving hands frantically in the hopes of catching your attention*

We now have thunder and lightning to add to our wind and rain. That was unexpected!

Ohm-y God!

 

[CarolM]

I don't mind talking to myself. Lol

Oh Don't worry. I do that a lot on here and quite often. They don't call us nuts for nothing.

 

[CarolM]

I also have entire conversations with my pets...

Do your pets also look at you with a look which says - What on earth are you going on about woman????

 

[CarolM]

I imagine Clunker with a very contemptuous personality. You would be shocked at the rude things I think that he thinks.

 

[Kristoff]

Hi Linda, I didn't really... you guys talk so much. Not to sound rude or anything. But I really can't keep up. So if I missed something important, I am truly sorry...
But I am happy to be here, once in a while. Lol

Carol is better than me with summaries, but it was mostly business as usual in the CDR. The Homework-eating Hound howls a lot at night, and we still weren't able to prove -- or disprove -- the possible existence of the Wool Spider.

Our weather is not that bad at moment. Even warmer today then the last weeks have been. Strange right...

That would be just like Carol's weather

 

[CarolM]

Good mornooning Roomies.

The weather is due to calm down today before getting very wet again tomorrow.

I have finished the paperwork (on the government website) for the Lasting Powers of Attorney for my Mum and printed them off last night. I must post it up to Mum for signing now. These papers, once registered, give my sister control over Mum’s affairs if she loses capacity to make her own decisions in future. The government website was surprisingly easy to use... getting everything signed and witnessed in the right order is more complex

Tonight, JoesDad and I are heading to London to meet university friends. There will be 6 of us on this occasion; we are usually 9.

And There she goes..... I swear we all live vicariously through you. Enjoy your visit and good luck with the signing etc.

Afternoon/Evening.

Great SUNNY day so we skipped over to the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge and did a nice hike through the mixed forests including a bit around Cash Lake. Clear skies = pretty blue lake colors.

LOL, we had soup too last night, with a bit of egg noddles on top of the usual mix (onions, carrots, potatoes).

 

[Kristoff]

That is really nice!! The only eagles we get to see are in the ZOO. My daughter loves eagles from when she was 5. She quickly new everything about them.

My daughter loves fairies. I'm yet to find a zoo that would have them...

 

[Kristoff]

So this is my number 1000 post. Yeah!!

CONGRATS!!!! You did it. Two nights in the CDR, right?

 

[Kristoff]

I also have entire conversations with my pets...

I have heated arguments with my oven sometimes...

 

[Kristoff]

Me too, they are such good listeners. Especially my Torts.

Or good actors!
