COLD DARK ROOM

Have any of you seen this by Takashi Amano
It's his Forests Underwater exhibit in a 40m tank (almost 44 yards)
No fish, just plants. It's a very relaxing watch.

It is brilliant. I have seen that before.

What's the point of an aquarium with no fish? It's even worse than having fish you cannot eat!

Fish get enough attention and some of them can be real divas!!
The plants are the stars of the show here.

Good mornooning all!

An early start for me as we need to drop our Volvo off at the mechanic to get new brake pads fitted.

Have a wonderful Tuesday

You too Linda.

Bee, I'm on the computer now and can see that you're in the Platinum Tortoise Club and the Tortoise Club. How do you get there? Is it some VIP lounge on an upper level of the CDR?

I think you have to donate or something.

 

[CarolM]

We are serious carnivores, but because we use an app that helps supermarkets fight food waste, we once ended up with vegetarian options. One veggie "meat"ball was surprisingly good. The other one tasted like rubber. Daughter has vegetarian friends. I fed the second option to them on a play date.

Good mornooning, roommates! All caught up. It's sunny and windy.

Husband is in Ottawa now; says it's -4 C (25 F), brrr! It looks more and more like I should be checking Kijiji (a classified ad service popular in Canada) for Ottawa rentals... No wonder I get migraines -- I think daughter's friends are not entirely to blame there. Time to test my TransferWise card (anyone uses those?) in the charity shops. Shopping therapy.

No clue to what that is.

Of course.....i think back in the old days, this drinky thing was also called “sodapop” all as one word. In some areas of the old USA, ppl call it soda, where other regions call it pop. I grew up in Pennsylvania, we only heard and used “soda”, but i recall a trip to Michigan (Detroit) in the 60’s where my Aunt/Uncle insisted in asking us all if we wanted a pop. No one had a clue what they were offering.

Usage notesEdit

• In the Midwest, except for Wisconsin, soda pop is usually abbreviated to pop, such as "Do you have any pop?"
• Further, in the Midwest, soda means an ice cream soda (soda pop with ice cream in it), such as "I think I will have a root beer soda." (i.e. what would otherwise be known as a root beer float in non-Midwestern areas).
• On the East and West Coasts of the United States, 'soda pop' is abbreviated to 'soda', such as "May I have a soda?" Some, however, still use the term 'soda pop'.

We just call it what it is, coke, coke zero, fanta orange, sprite, beer etc.

Last night “might” have been our last cold (near or at freezing) night of the year. The next 10 days look like many 70F (21c) days and warming evenings.

Nice. Enjoy it.

There must be a generic word for fizzy drinks, surely?

I have not eaten meat for almost 6 years and I have never eaten a pickle hamburger lol, I do however found I liked pickled pickles! how’bout this thing? Would you also be disgusted? I also eat beyond meat burgers sometimes at A&W, you guys have these where you live? It’s not just in Canada right? View attachment 268769View attachment 268770

I’m not familiar with it but that doesn’t mean a whole lot. I can imagine a no-meat diet, just not a meat substitute diet
