COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good mornooning all. TodayI had nothing on so I volunteered to take duck to the Swan Sanctuary in west London. It’s an hour’s drive to get there, but it’s closed to the public so it’s a good excuse to get let in and I am nosey! [emoji1]

Good plan.

 

[CarolM]

And as I arrived to collect the mallard, the last of the swallows and house martins were released to find their way to Africa for the winter. Wishing them luck!

And Carol... if you see a Swallow or a House Martin then maybe I fed it

I will let the know that I know you and that we are friends.

Good mornooning, roommates! I'm busy as ever but just checking in to say everything's fine. Daughter seems happy at her new school. I'm hunting government jobs, so I might hear back from them in a few months... or never. Anyway, wish me luck.
Thinking of everyone on the path of the storm.

Good Luck Lena, I am sure you will get some call backs.

Tortoise weight ins

Over one year old:

Selma: 420 grams
Patty:401 grams
Marge: 390 grams

6 years old:
Margo: 530 grams


I’m so chuffed that they have grown this much. I got the yearlings when they were only a few weeks old.

Well done.

You could have attached a note to the leg of one to see if it reached Carol!

Good mornooning all. Son announced he’s coming home today. He’s feeling low ... love life difficulties... and wants some home tlc. Daughter has quietly told us she is turning up too. They are very close. She wants to surprise her brother and has baked him a cake. He is rather fond of cake too

oh how sweet is that.

 

[CarolM]

Happy Birthday Cathie, hope you are having a lovely day!

Oh No, I forgot. So sorry Cathie. I hope you had an awesome birthday.

So yesterday, one of my long-time (18yrs) girlfriends called me up to ask if I had plans tonight. My brother had came Friday to stay for the weekend and I told her as much and that we were just planning on watching football. She says she hasn’t seen me in a while and wants to come over if that’s ok. Of course, it is... So we are sitting here watching one of the games about 5 this evening and I hear my front door open. Here comes my friend with 3 more of my friends. They are all from Arkansas so no short trip for them. She starts unpacking an ice chest of wine & beer and then proceeds to light candles on these amazing carrot cake cupcakes ( my favorite) . I ask, who’s birthday? “Yours” she says... I’m a little confused cause my birthday is in June... but she says she didn’t get to celebrate with me and it was better late than never...LMAO—- that’s a true friend!!!View attachment 280168

Good evenooning all. Time has got away with me.

I went to the gym at silly o’clock this morning and got to the rescue for 9. It turned out I was breaking in a new volunteer on their first day today so progress was slow.

We were both supposed to finish at 1pm, but there was nobody to relieve us and we hadn’t finished. She had a lift come to get her, but I stayed on and finally left at 4pm... long day cleaning out, feeding and weighing hedgehogs and pigeons.

Grandparents were over today, we went to the tort room for a tour and we were flashed by not one tortoise but 2. Luckily, they found it funny.

Your a good person Linda! The new volunteer was lucky to have you for a trainer.

 

[CarolM]

Good luck. I hope it went well.

No lazy Sunday for me. Pulling wire to the shed! This is the worst part of putting power in the shed!
