COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I study abroad so my parents are taking care of him, I spent like a solid two hours telling them everything I know, honey is in good hands

What are you studying? And do you miss home when you are abroad or is it nice being away from parental control?

 

[CarolM]

You all will recall my fossil hunting trips during end of Summer/early Autumn. My friend who lives near the good collection spots routinely finds really nice sharks teeth. She has a friend that turns them into jewelry.

Look at these new necklaces!

Wow, They are really stunning. I love seeing other peoples talent at work.

 

[CarolM]

i know.... laying in the sand one day. Fine jewelry forever!

More like laying in some sharks mouth many years ago and now fine jewelry forever.

Olive ridley turtle found injured off Seaford beach
@Ben02 it went to the Sealife centre... not so far from you!

Shame. The article does not say what her injuries were from. I hope she recovers.

 

[CarolM]

Hi everyone, the bad news is that weekend is nearly over again, but the good news is the next one is only 5 days away!
Hope everyone has had a good couple of days.
Mine has been pretty uneventful but enjoyable.
Next weekend I'll be doing the annual RSPB garden bird survey, and I have quite a lot popping in to my feeding stations at the moment.
I was going to do it last year, but that was the weekend I was hit the by car and ended up in hospital. Can't believe that anniversary has come around already!
Hopefully I'll get through this year in one piece!

Note to yourself, ......don't go crossing any roads. Order everything in and just stay in your garden and count birds!!!

So last week I was telling my family about Lola flashing and how it was disgusting but impressive given the ratio of it to his size...................my family think I need to get out more!

Whahaha

G’day All.

We are off to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge again this morning. I saw some twitter reports that there are 1000’s of Snow Geese grazing on the fields there.

Pix from last time.

 

[CarolM]

Oh is that a pic of you? Grandkids are good. I am looking for a house to rent up in Michigan for a month or two. So I can spend some time with them and of course go salmon fishing on lake Michigan. Mother in law has been in the Philippines since oct. She will return next month.
For me the battle continues. My leg stump has swelled up. I can't get my leg on. I have a chronic blood clot in the leg. Going to the doctors today so I can get a order to have a doppler ultrasound done. Keto diet is still going good but I can't weigh myself without my prosthetic leg on. My clothes are fitting a little better so I think I am losing weight. My prosthetic leg weighs about 12 lbs. So I just deduct that from the weight.

Oh No Ray, tell your leg to get with the program and get better now.

Arrow's just hanging out on a silk leaf. It was so cute I thought I'd share. I wish I could have done better for him but at least I still have him.View attachment 285178

Arrow is so pretty even in shadow form.

 

[CarolM]

How has everyone been? Any updates?

No updates, just life carry on with the normal shenanigans!!

 

[CarolM]

Hey everyone! I've had an exciting day and just wanted to share! We found a place that we like, all this searching and we finally find a usable chunk of land that has a wonderful home and good barns. Of course there is a catch, it's slightly more than what we were hoping, which throws us short for the down payment and there are two other interested parties. It may literally turn into a race to see who can come up with the money first! I suddenly wish I knew some private investors

Good Luck, I hope that lady luck smiles on you and you get the place. I will hold thumbs for you.

You don’t see this often via Twitter - Falling Iguanas !

View attachment 285223

So did you see any falling?

 

[CarolM]

Wow and the iguanas are pretty big in that area. They'll be calling it an invasion of large reptiles but they are poor released pet shop critters.

mmmm Your comment made me think of that terrible movie where the shark fall from the sky and eat people. I replaced the sharks with the iguana's.

 

[CarolM]

So this is me signing out for a couple of months. I am through security and waiting for my flight.

Look after yourselves and your four and two legged families. Do what you’re told by @Yvonne G See you in March

Sorry I missed you and I hope that you have an awesome time. Until we not see each other again have fun.

 

[CarolM]

I got him a baby bag and blankets. I'm sure the bag can cover him this whole winter. Even as he becomes a fat little bouncing baby boy.

He really is very cute. We want more pictures

 

[CarolM]

I was happy to get mine too...and I really needed that bit of cheer that day...so it arrived with perfect timing.

Well then my job is done.

 

[CarolM]

Wow that's cool. Let us know how it turns out.

Will do. My brother is delivering my tank today. Yayyy I am so excited. So I will be busy busy busy.

 

[CarolM]

Exercising at therapy.

Looks like you are doing a good job.

 

[CarolM]

G’day All.

OOhhhhh some more lovely photos coming our way. Looking forward to them.

 

[CarolM]

AAANNNNDDDDD I have finally caught up with all of you. Looks like you guys have been have a good year so far. Other than falling iguana's and snow and snoring etc. etc.

nothing much has changed on my side. Except that I am on a mission to go green this year and have all these wonderful ideas. (which hubby is cursing me for) as it just gives him more work.

My water tank is being delivered today and a load of compost as well. so I will be able to fill in all the tyres and get going with my veggie garden. I hope that everything grows nicely for me and that my veggies will taste nice. oh well if you don't try then you will never succeed. I will let you know how it goes.
