I very quickly remembered how bad crickets stink!!! They live outside!! The worms and roaches come in nifty self feeding containers and you never would realize they are there so they just sit on a shelf below... the upside, there will always be fishing bait available[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Lol. Well then Hubby must be very happy with the new addition.

So essentially you are using your own money which is put into a savings fund to pay for your medical services? What happens to it if you don’t use it? Do you have to pay for the hospital coverage?
You pay one amount monthly. Which is hospital cover and savings. Any savings you don't use carries over to the next year.

.... and here I proudly present my first nasty weather song: "Rain in may" . I think this song is very suitable when I look outside and on my calender.:D
Have fun like I had by singing it.

Thank you, Sabine! I had never heard that one before. Your rendition is lovely!!

.... and a second nasty weather song from today.
A very old song ( 1960 ). I love that little funny ( or sad ) song because of the "German`s daughter the singer Bobby Helms sings about.
Many American soldiers had during their time in Germany a "Fraulein", a female friend or wife after the 2. world war was over. This is what the song is about.

I had never heard that one either. Your voice is well-suited to the country and western genre. Thank you for sharing.

Today’s adventure was at Charing Cross underground station. Charing Cross is the place marked on the map as the centre of London. There’s a big of overground rail station and spreading underground, right out to Trafalgar Square, is the underground station. Parts of this are off limits and that includes platforms for what was part of the Jubilee Line that are no longer in use.

These days they serve regularly as a set for movie makers needing to depict the underground, but weirdly it also serves as a New York Subway station occasionally!

The James Bond film Skyfall features a chase sequence that was shot here. So Daniel Craig slid down this escalator

I keep getting video unavailable for this [emoji22]

When I get my chickens, that’s when I’ll know he really loves me! lol!
We have so many pets I just can’t see more in my future . Although I think a box turtle would be a great addition. [emoji6]

Lol! That’s what I say every time before I get the next one [emoji16]... I really wanted to go get that redfoot from the pet store and hubby actually finally gave in and told me he didn’t care... I just couldn’t see building another large enclosure. I don’t want to be the one that has more than what I can give a good home to. I still have the two small sulcatas who will need a really big space in a couple years... He did bring me home a group of eggs that were going to get bush hogged last week. I am incubating and will then reintroduce them back to the wild... whatever they may be [emoji16]...(I suspect they are Turkeys)

My son has named most of the recent additions here.. I like to wait and see their personality before I decide..
Between my son and I, we came up with a name somewhat. I keep thinking of the song blue moon but he also looks like an arrow head when he's swimming. Then he turns into a butterfly. I'm just really glad he settled in so quickly. So far he hasn't gotten any torn fins.

Good mornooning all.

Yesterday was cold with sudden and very heavy showers... some were sleet ... yuk!

This didn’t dampen enthusiasm for the match which Luton won 3-1 meaning they also won the League having already guaranteed promotion last week.

The council had banners on the town hall

A local charity was giving out celebratory Ferrero Rocher and got plenty of donations in exchange
