COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Well, my Russian side demands a seat in the Security Council. And veto power, of course. [emoji85][emoji23]

Now now! No politics! [emoji23]

 

[JoesMum]

Thank you. What’s the use of having a daughter if you can’t doll her up sometimes, right? [emoji23][emoji173]️

Mine would never allow me to doll her up. Far too full of her own opinions [emoji849][emoji16]

9 will be too much, even for me.
With my shingles and the pain it sometime causes I`ve learned to cope I hope that some day when I have less stress my imune system is able to get the shingles under control.

I hope so too [emoji177]

Okay, Stephen and I did a bit of traveling as well. And we drove out of Cape Town for a hour and a half to Riebeek Kasteel. Although our anniversary was in Feb, this is our weekend away to celebrate it. Riebeek Kasteel is one of the oldest towns in South Africa and is surrounded by farms and winery's.

I don't know how to write between photos on the app. Sorry.

Anyway, this is our room and right outside are the spears etc. But what especially caught my eye was the tortoise shell. Is it a Leopard tortoise by any chance?

So we settled in and later went for supper. The food was really yummy, so I took a photo of their telephone number in case one of you would like to make a reservation. [emoji6]

Tomorrow we do some more exploring. They town is full of beautiful plants and trees. Would it be wrong to take a piece here and there to propagate?

Anyway it is late and my eyes are all blurry now. I will probably read this tomorrow and see tons of errors. [emoji85]

Well night night and update you all tomorrow. View attachment 268420View attachment 268421View attachment 268422View attachment 268423View attachment 268424View attachment 268425View attachment 268426View attachment 268427View attachment 268428View attachment 268429View attachment 268430

Thanks! Boat unloaded, clothes washed, Sully fed a few extra treats. Fig trees that have been dormant in the garage since October pretty much all have leaves. The breba producers have pushed little figlets. The banana (also dormant in garage) has pushed up a whole lot of new growth. Winter must be over. Yeah.

Well done! And I am glad you have returned to Spring.

[emoji33][emoji33] You’ll have to buy me a drink before I can start answering that torrent of questions. How about a rendezvous at the Rideau Canal next winter? [emoji6]

Awe man! I was getting very curious/nosey as well.

Sounds like a living doll to me.

Thank you Linda for the translation app.

I tried to sign but maybe because I'm in America I couldn't find a place to sign. I actually translated it to English later. The only word I could understand before that was danke. I also kind of knew it was about poor hungry cats and a person asking for help to help them.

It’s on the right hand side. If you look at the image I posted earlier, it starts with you forename, your family name is under, then email, then where you live

I’m sending GOOD VIBES to everyone in the CDR who needs to heal!!
Bad eyes, infections, beat up bodies from bad drivers and shingles!!
Let’s kick this bad Juju!! [emoji1317][emoji123][emoji1317][emoji123]

Agreed!

 

[Cathie G]

Thank you! I hope I get accepted!

I'm hoping for you too. Minor in critters. Florida animals need all the help they can get.

 

[Cathie G]

Agreed!

Me too I'm sick of being sick.

My husband just got over a bout of eye herpes. First (and hopefully only) time he's ever had it.

Started in Nov. Still on acyclovir and prednisone drops.

Sure hope your son feels better soon.

Oh wow!!! The absolute first person besides my son who has ever had this!!! I wish I could take it from my son.. it’s just miserable for him and heartbreaking for me. I am surprised that they gave your hubby prednisone drops.. I have always been told that’s steroids could accelerate it??? Jayden is on the acyclovir and Zirgan drops.. the regular pediatrician always wants to say it’s pink eye and give mixers even though I tell them differently. It’s rare!

I got a VERY early start to my day today. I was sleeping soundly when the phone rang (my phone is on the other side of the room from my bed). So I tossed back the covers, pulled myself up out of bed and traipsed across the room to answer the phone, "Hello?" "Oh, I'm sorry. . . I didn't mean to call you." I hung up and went back to bed. But I lay there pondering the phone call. The caller I.D. showed a familiar area code, 469, which I know to be Texas. I have a son and his family in Texas, but they are travelling and are now in Oregon. I communicate with my son through email, so his phone number is not committed to memory. I lay there wide awake wondering if it was him. Sort of sounded like him. I was half asleep, so really couldn't recognize his voice. Finally I got up and went out to the computer room to look him up in my address book, and, sure enough, it was him that called. So now I'm worried about why he called me at zero dark thirty in the morning. Even though he and his family are still on Texas time (two hours ahead of me), they're in Oregon, so it would be 4a for him as it was for me. Are they having car trouble? Are they broken down on the side of the road? All sorts of bad things are going through my mind. It's now three hours later and I haven't heard from him, so I don't know what's going on,

At any rate, I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and checked out all Josh's forums for spammers, took care of my moderator duties here then got the tortoise food ready.

I'm all finished with my morning chores and ready to go run errands. This is the earliest I've ever gone shopping. Thankfully, the stores I shop at all open before 9a.

When it gets to be about 2p, I know I'm going to crash.

Thank you for this clear explanation! Ok I won’t talk about politics! -My mom : « if you and your brother can’t agree you’ll both have nothing! » ; )

My mum would have said, 'If you don't stop arguing I'll knock your heads together!!' and that's exactly what's needed in our Parliament!
