COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

I think having my accident made me realise I could just pop out to the shops one day and not come back.
Then what a hell of a lot of stuff my family would have to sort out, so I'd better make a start on it myself to save them the trouble.

I've been trying to give it to someone I think might actually like it and use it. If they don't like it they can just say no. One person's junk can be another person's treasure.

My eyes might be bad. It looks like one arm is shorter...

I love birds.
I reared 3 baby sparrows once and one of them was so weak I didn't think he would survive, but I persevered and he did.
I released the other 2 and they flew off into the trees near my house at the time, but the 3rd stayed with me and lived in, on and around a cage in my living room.
He liked to tuck himself into the crook of my arm or sit on my shoulder under my hair while I was watching tv.
He was a devil for trying to pinch food. I had him for over 7 years, he was a lovely little thing.

I love birds too. That's so nice that you were able to get them through their terrible lot in life. I had a baby robin in my backyard one year without visible parents. I just kept trying to protect him when I spotted him. He rewarded me with a nest that I could look at baby robins without a ladder. I know it was him because he always liked to sit in the back yard and sing with my zebra finches. They don't forget you.

@Yvonne G
Are you on?
I just spent an hour posting my pond build in the fish section and the first half of my pics say I don’t have permission to view. [emoji17]
Can you check them for me and let me know if you can view them. They have a lock on them.

Yeah, the pictures are coming up as a link and not as a thumbnail. You'll have to try again.

Here’s a quick pix of one of the rookeries that we paddled by. Thousands of birds (mostly gulls) with an army of pelicans standing guard.

Brilliant!

Quick place holder to remind myself where I need to catch up on. I have meetings starting at 8:30am and going on all day. Maybe not see you later!

 

[Kristoff]

Hay Lena... I don’t see your problem

[emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

Brrrrr. Nope that is Jackets, long pants, socks and boots weather.

That just about covers it all.

Eveyone calls it the Tip in the UK. It’s where you take rubbish that the council won’t collect. They try to recycle most of it, so the actual rubbish section is pretty small in ours. You have to get things in the right container

I like the name! We have a “Tip” here. They turned a corner of it into a shop, and one can find very interesting things there sometimes.

When I was signed off work following back surgery and had recovered enough to do things, but not enough to return to work... I ended up having a major sort out at home too. Unfortunately that was 15 years ago. We could do with another decluttering session!

Back to Marie Kondo jokes! [emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

Lol. For you guys I bet it is. We are used to 26c to 36c temps so for us that cold.

25C is summer in Denmark. On those rare days that we have it. [emoji33][emoji23]

The Outer Banks of North Carolina, along with Assateague and Chincoteague Islands (MD & VA) are notorious for their herds of wild ponies that graze the marsh grasses and live wild!

Here’s a representative pix of us paddling along with the grazing ponies.

You mean I need you to eat my sheep ! Help, this woman is not a man eater but a sheep eater... LOL !

Sheep are tastier. They don’t eat junk, unlike men. [emoji23]

Wait until you have in Canada your own big ranch. There will be a lot of grass.....

I’ll ask the Grinch for gardening advice then. I hear he has green fingers... [emoji6]
