COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Did you have to duck out to take the picture, Ed? So cute!

The house is no longer furnished to be liveable. The building itself is the star and they use the rooms as a sort of museum of Arts & Crafts furniture

We do lots of Arts & Crafts with daughter too!

Our tortoise yard has been put on hold[emoji51]The contractor said he didn’t have enough employees to help because of another job. Hopefully next week.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Kristoff]

Wonderful!

I guess that worked? [emoji4]

 

[Cathie G]

Lol. I don't know how to do that on the mobile app. And being Mom to a house bunny is perfectly fine. At least she won't back chat. [emoji23] [emoji23] I bet you the Leprechaun put you up to the national leprechaun day. Didn't he?

Nope...I missed national leprechaun day. I thought the news said today and come to find out it's May 13th. I already found his pot of gold anyway... And my wabbit is another story. She's sassy and tells me off with her ears.

What? Sully will use it?? You’re spoiling him, man!!! :O

What? A spoiled tortoise? Say it ain’t so! ((Ok, sully’s mazuri is really fed in a very old terra cotta dish that we bought many years ago along the side of the road somewhere west of Tbilisi.))

 

[Cathie G]

3 maybe 4 times a year.....

I'm always glad when my sons visit but I don't want them hovering over me. I want them to live their lives. I'm sure she feels the same and very much enjoys your visits when you are able.

Let’s see if this works:

Sounds fun.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Craig’s List works sometimes... hoping it works today! I just put this old Steamer Trunk on today... We actually have two of them.

Good evening all. I have seen so many amazing views today that it’s hard to know where to start.

@Moozillion The Lake District has to be on your bucket/vat/swimming pool list!

We started our day with a walk around Elter Water, one of the small lakes.

First stop Skelwith Force - a small waterfall

Then over fields

To Colwith Force which is higher, but you can’t get as close

A very old bridge

And Elter Water lake itself

I fantasize about landscapes like this...you're telling me THEY REALLY EXIST??!?!??

250m altitude, 800 ft up on the moor are the remains of an 1800 year old Roman fort. I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea to build there, but it must have been bleak even then.

It’s in an amazing state of preservation . The RAF gave us a fly past in 4 fighter jets while we were there (no photos - too fast!) and we saw a Raven fighting a Hen Harrier too.

Hi Bea!! Miss you around here!!

 

[aqualungs]

When she loves hot dogs. Why not. When you get old sometimes little things enjoy you much.

Hot dogs are amazing.

@Moozillion
Hi Bea!! Miss you around here!!

Thank you!
My life has gotten fairly busy in some areas, and I'm not on the forum as much or as long at a time as I used to be. When I'm on the forum, it's mainly in the water turtles section.
I'm very fond of all the denizens of the Cold Dark Room, but I'm in a slightly different direction, at least for a while.
Hugs to all (and THANK you for thinking of me! )

They hatched out in one of my flower beds and haven't left the yard for very long ever since.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

That’s as often as I see my Mum too

It's been a good visit

Oh dear. That must be frustrating!

Let’s see if this works:

Aahhh. Thank you. That was awesome. I wanted to join your daughter and dance with her. [emoji3] [emoji126] [emoji126]

 

[CarolM]

Me too! About “long distance”. Not about “son”. As far as I know.
