COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

I miss Harrogate on days like this.

I miss Harrogate all the time. It’s still my home town as far I am concerned. I moved so often when I was young that the first place we stayed for any length of time was Harrogate. I was 2 months of my 11th birthday when we moved there and only moved away to go to university aged 18.

If we had the opportunity, I would move back there.

Wow......it’s pouring down rain! Good thing I cut the back 40 acres this morning. Luffas will enjoy, figs, not so much.

Leaves continue to fall. Sun rising later and later each morning.
The sun rises. Misty, wet, damp.
Morning temperatures dip.
More rain.
Soon frost, then snow.
Spring & seeds will follow.

Mmm I am worried. We have sleepy people and now fragile ones too. Mmmm I think that there is something floating in the air in the CDR? Better put my mask on. ??

Yes, the Cold Dark Room is now taking precautions.
Hedgehogs, armadillos and jellyfish must not gather in groups of more than ten.
Someone must go out and but some hand sanitizer, or at least soap.
Masks must be worn. Around the neck, as apparently this works.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It's tidgeys dad's fault. I had to go online and ask my brother about my mission. It's not like I knew all that. I guess I needed to get my education.?

'tidgey' ?

Yep, me too. Aaagh,Bettys & The Stray. ! Those millions of crocus. The pubs. The Yorkshire Dales & The Great Yorkshire Show. Brimham Rocks, Malham & Masham. Heather & Heath. Rain, wind, snow, sleet. Frost n sheep. Pheasants and shoots. Dry stone walls. Fresh eggs. Milk delivered to the doorstep..I’ll stop now..

I’m one of the few lucky ones. The madness has not entered my brain yet! (Yet is the key word in that sentence)

Ur still here...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

W
Would that be an isopod in ancient times?

No, part of the Phylum Hemichordata, sort of half way between invertebrates and vertebrates.

Tidgey must have a correctly spelled name. Shame on you Cathie! ??

Another trick question! ?

 

[Cathie G]

I remember everything - I am like an elephant. Now tell me your mission dammit.

Nice try hehehe...?

 

[CarolM]

Lies! ?

I don't lie. Truly I don't. Now that you believe me, tell me your secret. Come on you know you want to!

 

[JoesMum]

Good evenooning all.

It’s been a long day. It’s a two hour drive to daughter’s flat... and a two hour drive back of course.

We managed to deconstruct her bed which is being collected by a charity on Friday. She’s sleeping on her mattress on the floor until then. We took a tall chest of drawers down the stairs for collection by a lady this afternoon. It was heavy so all the drawers had to be taken out. Then it was filling boxes which in turn filled our Volvo and cleaning.

MiL is still in hospital and doing OK. JoesDad has had strong words with his father about the need to do exercise. Hopefully the hospital is doing the same to his mother.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nice to meet you, everybody!
Anyone for coffee?

 

[CarolM]

I’m keeping my eye on you... ?

Eye spy my little eye back on you. ???

Not unless it’s decaf. It’s nearly bedtime. I’ll never sleep otherwise!

Decaf?
Hmmmm.
Is that the same as Diet Mountain Dew?

 

[CarolM]

I am trying to catch up but alas it is time to leave for home and all the chores that I need to do there.
But before I leave I wanted to share this .....Why..........Because it is Wednesday of course:

Too long Heather?
