COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

So beautifull!! What are they doing with all these flowers?

From the website.
The flowers die back and produce seed for re-planting in these same fields for the next season. We feel that by allowing the plant to complete its life cycle, it helps to produce a more superior bulb crop.

A "good night" song from me for y`all

Only you can sing like that in the CDR.

Wonderful, once again, Sabine

Funnily enough I saw one of my neighbours today who asked how I was after my accident and she was shocked to hear I was knocked over by a car.
Apparently the story circulating the street is that I broke my leg when I fell out of my car!
That made me laugh
I told her I would have to give up drink driving!!

[emoji33] I mean, seriously! Does falling out of your own car even make sense? A bad case of Chinese Whispers!

A few days ago I thought I found the naughty step here in the dark but it was only the excavation site od Adam`s fossils..... @Tidgy's Dad, we still miss you a lot !

Now why were you looking for the naughty step?

 

[CarolM]

Or things you don't want to know.

 

[CarolM]

Right?!

No left.!!

Here’s the scoop side..

Of course at Christmas I could put a little hook and call it a bell ornament.

Very clever.

Here’s a couple pictures of the progress on the house.
At first I was a little hesitant on the vintage blue, but now I’m like, I really like it. Especially since all the houses around me are the boring tan or shades of it.
Shelly even moved their ladder [emoji217][emoji38]

That does look very nice. Good choice.

Mine is getting better. I'm on a 16 gig smartphone though. The ads still get in the way at times though when I'm trying to type.

My smart phone in 32 Gig. The amount of storage on your device makes no difference.

This is to do with the amount of time it takes to get a picture from the TFO server when your device requests it. Text is quick and easy; pictures are bulky.

If it takes more than a fraction of a second to service the request behind the scenes then it will give up.

If lots of people are viewing the forum simultaneously then it takes longer to service each request.

This is technical behind the scenes stuff that has nothing to do with your device.

Today my sister in law and I took my grandson to the Carlsbad Flower Fields to see the beautiful ranunculus flowers.
I lived near here has a kid and have great memories of driving by and seeing it from the freeway.
If anyone has heard of Legoland the amusement park these fields are about 2 minutes away and a few block from the beach.
It’s gorgeous and only open about a month during spring.
It’s 50 acres of rainbows!!

Oh Wow. Gorgeous. You, your grandson and the flowers.

Did you lose my address? I didn’t get an invite![emoji848]

[CarolM]

Move but move slowly.

Lol. Very true.

 

[CarolM]

Thanks!
I’ll post finished pictures of it with the white trim and everything put back.
I can’t believe it took only a day to do. [emoji33]

That is professional work for you. If they know what they are doing then it won't take long.

I don't have them any more either, even though I love platies. If I had more tank space, the only way I would have a couple is if I could positively be sure of gender, and many times they are too young in the store to be sure.

That's what happened last time. We were sure both were female...we were wrong!

I tried separating them. For 3 days continuously, she laid on the bottom of the tank in a corner, and he frantically glass surfed in his tank. Don't try to tell me fish don't have emotions! I couldn't stand it, and put them back together. They were both overjoyed, swimming close together and gently bumping each other.

As I'm sure you know, sometimes people wonder how we can love a fish. I think anyone who asks that question should read this.

What a very sweet story.

 

[JoesMum]

Take a look at this mini..

That’s all very well, but I feel it’s like keeping a tortoise in too small an enclosure.

That tiny volume of water will be very difficult to control in terms of temperature and water quality.

There are far too many fish in it that will grow much bigger... and they are all pooping in the water making the water chemistry poor.

I thoroughly disapprove of this one!

Whahaha. I wonder what rumours are going to circulate after that comment now?[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Thankfully without incident!
The Housing Association workers came and did a good job.
They put a sturdier fence up than usual so it should withstand strong winds and last longer.
At least now I know they can't damage my plants. or take things from my garden.

I had forgotten the Housing Association. Their workers should be doing things off plan not by direction of the tenant. Thank goodness for that!

Cant try to wear my leg till the end of April.

Oh dear. However better to make sure the infection is completely gone.

We always call non alcoholic fizzy drinks 'pop' too!
But sometimes it is used when talking about beer.
I thought it was British thing.

We called it pop as children in Yorkshire, but it seems to have gone out of use these days.
