COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Well, we have anxiously been following Portsmouth v Peterborough... as Portsmouth losing would mean JoesDad’s team being promoted next season.

And it happened Next year they’ll be back in the second tier of English football It’s been a rough ride from the top division in the 1980s down into the fifth tier and near bankruptcy... and they have finally climbed out of it. [emoji322]

Does anyone have other ideas for fencing that would be at least 3-4’ tall and about 70x90’?
I’m trying to avoid chain link.
If I did use chain link how do you attach wood boards to it?

Drill a hole in each corner of the board. Then use heavy duty “wire ties” to securely fasten the board to the chain link. Quick and easy.

Hope the host will behave later today and will shake hands with you, Lyn. Very annoying.

Looks like we're friends again now!

Margery’s misadventures!!! Part 1

You would think by this picture that this tortoise looks timid and shy..............if so you thought wrong.


So the breeder who’s a friend of mine said that I could have another tortoise if I wanted one and I said YES of course. So I came to pick her up and the breeder said “she’s as good as gold” and “she will be no trouble”. That was a lie!!!

Patty and Selma are chilled and well behaved.........most of the time anyway, but Marge is the extreme she bites, rams my hand, eats ants when she sees them and is scared of the water bowl (good thing I soak every day). The breeder knew about her behaviour all along and his reply was “Hey, if your going to work with animals then you have got to deal with different personalities”......... brilliant . Other than that though I love that little demon and besides she is funny sometimes.

She looks as if she has attitude!!

Good evening all. My earlier TFO problem seems to have resolved itself thankfully!
Now I just have to catch up with the everyday tales of everyday folk in the cdr!

Good mornooning everyone. I am heading to my physio/osteopath today.

It’s 4 weeks tomorrow since the cyst ruptured in the back of my knee and I still have bruising and swelling (I was warned). I need someone to look at all of me rather than just the injured bit and work out what I need to get myself walking straight as both legs now hurt.

The NHS hospital physio has been good, but the appointment is so short and they will only look at the injured leg. When I mention the other one they just say it is taking the strain of the injured one... I know that. What can I do about it?

Hope it all went well, Linda
They just told me to see my GP about my knee to be referred to the hospital.
Chances are I will be back in the physio dept at some point either after, or instead of, surgery!
MInd you I don't think there's much a physio can do about castanet knees!

Good mornooning, roommates! Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday!

Photo 2/12. "Scary". This took me directly to Roskilde Museum, home to skulls and Viking-era treasures, Christian symbols and haunting sound effects. A truly atmospheric place... But first I stopped by “Ragnarok”, a seven-sided sculpture depicting the apocalypse in front of the museum.

Marge is adorable.

No, I'm not the admin on the tortoise forum's facebook group. Josh is. I've cancelled all my facebook accounts. Was having too much trouble figuring it all out.

I always am afraid and watch what I say kind of on TFO. But I'm more afraid of Facebook. I just really watch on TFO more for new members and saying the wrong thing and misleading them. Also I worry about hurting someone's feelings. I can't do Facebook because I just don't like all the drama.

Photo 3/12. "Twisted"
Still in Roskilde Museum, I observed some of the Viking-era ornaments and weapons with spiral motifs decorating them.

Then, I headed to Roskilde's perhaps biggest attraction -- the Viking Ship Museum. Apart from the (almost) original Viking longships inside the museum, you could see boats on the water that were built using Viking techniques. I focused on ropes, many of which were also made here, and you can see some freshly oiled ones.

Now, isn't she a beauty?

Lovely, there's something about b/w photos that really brings out the details.
Thanks for showing us the ropes!

 

[Cathie G]

I haven't forgotten. But rarely go on FB. But I will use it when there are problems in the CDR.

I found bee on utube last night. I'm learning to be resourceful...

The Welsh are rioting..!

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-48093720

A lot of people would say the Welsh are revolting.
I would have been there if I could have.

Ugh! Rising damp is always a problem with bootcut jeans or flares/bell bottoms.

 

[Lyn W]

All done and it didn't take me as long to see what you've all been up to as I thought it would.

 

[Cathie G]

A lot of people would say the Welsh are revolting.
I would have been there if I could have.

It all boils down to which nest is best. I don't think they have enough rockets and such to save a few billion people or another earth to put us all on. So why not take better care of our home with the money they are spending on silly endeavors.

Does anyone have other ideas for fencing that would be at least 3-4’ tall and about 70x90’?
I’m trying to avoid chain link.
If I did use chain link how do you attach wood boards to it?

I really like the look of your corregated panels.

Is the chain link for other things or animals too? Or just tortoises?

 

[Cathie G]

I’m with you [emoji13]
*digging for Oreos*

Oreos crushed make a great ice cream Sunday. A layer of Oreos, a layer of ice cream, a layer of nuts n caramel and layer more Oreos and ice cream and can't forget the chocolate! With whip etc...it reminds me of a dairy queen cake...in a little treat cup...whatever...

Good day all.

Just back from a day at Rehoboth Beach. Wonderfully warm and sunny, cool breezes. We saw many pods of dolphins...slept on the beach, walked the boardwalk, had a bucket full of Thrashers french fries drenched in vinegar.

The water beneath the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was as smooth as glass - gorgeous. (But no pix)

Tommorrow - i prep for another extended weekend of kayaking “down South”.

More clues to follow!
