COLD DARK ROOM

- Start date
I guess our “big rain storm” is now gone...... Pretty much a wash here. A few bands of steady rain, then nothing. Wifey and I worked on the other half of our tea light. It’s pretty much done, just a bit of oil & wax to finish it off.
Another beautiful addition... how’s that online sales site coming??? ?
Cinder's face tells it all! She's looking at you like "What the heck Mom???" ??
They named this day right! That's why I'm on here so late. I hope I can remember what I finally figured out when I need it again. It took all dang day! It's going to take half the night to relax, eat, and go to beddy bye.?Good mornynoon, Rapturous Roommates!
Today is Thinking Day.
OW!
OW!
OW!
That's quite enough of that for one year.
How do you keep from planting a kiss on that little pumpkin head?
That happened to me yesterday too. I had to erase several quotes several times and then it got worse but kinda better too. Now I have to post already taken pictures. I thought it was my new phone and it had just that morning went through an update. I still don't know. I'm still thinking WTH happened??
a right hook from his wife? ???
A right hook from his wife?? ???
Unless maro2bear is a girl. In that case...
A left hook from her husband?? ???
That's kinda like my memory. Usually numbers stick best even for years later. But the members here can post and I'll know who it is before I see who posted it. I usually can't remember their names for awhile but I remember their handle... maybe not how to spell it. Kris may be an easier one because I have a son named Chris.
Are you going to make fig Newton's? And share the recipe?
There is an amazing recipe using figs if you like fig newtons but want to elevate them. It is from a bakery called Flour in Boston. There are a couple of cookbooks from Joanne Chang who owns Flour. I am a terrible cook and mediocre baker but these came out great. This is one of the few books I own that I can actually make baked goods from the taste really good. I highly recommend the book. Hopefully I’m not violating some copyright law by showing this but I am pushing the sale of the book so hopefully they’ll forgive me.

They'll just think the neighbour issue got out of hand!!
Good morning/afternoon to one and all.
It's a bright sunny day here and slightly windy, but there is definitely an autumnal chill in the air. I think temps dropped to 5C last night.
I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing Sunday and if they're lucky some of the UK contingent have an extra day tomorrow as it's a bank holiday.
Lola has enjoyed a good long soak, eaten lots and has now found a sunny spot to bask in so all is well in his world.

A man made beach...? shall you put your toes in the water or the “sand”????? ?
Good mooning everyone!
It stormed a bit last night and I can definitely feel some fall moving in. It’s funny @Lyn W that we are so apart but our weather reviews would have us just next door... what fun we could have being good neighbors;-)
I got the tree debris picked up around the house yesterday and cleaned out the tortoise boxes. (ALOT OF POOP)
Did some mild house cleaning and cooked a chicken and sausage roux ... so that leaves me with not very much to do today... so far this morning I have had ferret coffee time, Cinder couch time and Big dog playtime.... I think I’ll get lost in a book for a while...

Good afternooning all. Sorry I disappeared. I have about 40 pages to catch up on it seems!
The dust has settled a little with the public exams although there is still much to sort out and schools reopen this week.
Tomorrow is my last day as a governor, but as it is a public holiday here in the UK I am actually done. Others will continue the fight in my place
I should be in France right now, but it was put on the covid naughty list and our insurance would have been invalid if we had gone
This left us with a dilemma. We decided to take our two weeks anyway, so JoesDad didn’t work last week and we did some holidaying from home.
Last Monday we went birdwatching on the Isle of Sheppey, a very unglamorous place about an hour from home, where we had glorious sunshine all day.
Then we stayed the night in small apartment in nearby Whitstable which is famed for its oysters.
Next day we had intended to drive along the coast to Ramsgate and visit the wartime tunnels there. However the weather was DIABOLICAL. Howling gales, seaspray and rain made walking difficult and we decided to head home instead.
On Wednesday we went to London for the first time since before lockdown. We stayed at a Small hotel with a very good restaurant near St James’s Palace. London was weird. I have never seen it so quiet not even out of season.
This is Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square and it is always packed there year round!
The next couple of days were quiet then yesterday we set off for Devon in the south west of the UK for a week in a rented house in Torquay that we managed to get a late booking for. (Fans of UK comedy Fawlty Towers may remember that it was set here)
Son came with us and we picked up daughter on the way as neither has had a holiday this year.
The weather has been perfect since we arrived, so here are some postcards:
Our picnic spot yesterday in the grounds of the house owned by author Agatha Christie
Our holiday house is on a hill with a glorious view
And a few photos from our stroll around the harbour this morning
So that’s my news. What’s yours? ?
