COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good evenooning all.

My back is slowly improving. I can sit down for short periods now rather than stand or lie flat on my back. I went to the physio on Tuesday and she told me to lie on the floor and relax when I got home. I did so and fell asleep for 2 hours ? I have to go back tomorrow for another session.

I spent yesterday shopping online for furnishings for our spare bedroom which is about to become my ‘den’. We have a small office downstairs, but JoesDad has appropriated that now he is working from home so much. I’m getting quite excited. We have had this house over 22 years and I have never had space to call my own before

We ordered a sofa bed ages ago and that finally got delivered on Monday so I could work out what else would actually fit in there. I want a desk that I can use for my sewing machine or the laptop… but it had to be narrow enough to allow the sofa bed to open up. So next Tuesday is delivery day… a desk from IKEA, a small side table from John Lewis, curtains & bedding from Marks & Spencer.

Must go make some pizza dough for dinner. The dough hook on my food mixer makes that feasible despite my back. Not see you later

Pizza dough for dinner? Will you at least bake it and put hot dog and anchovies on it??

Was getting prepared to go flounder fishing at the Sebastian inlet this weekend. Only to find out Florida Wild and Game closed the season until Dec 3rd this yr.??

I gave it a thought, however I can't figure out how to contain the spread.

I've read that there are two types of bamboo roots and I believe the clump forming varieties don't spread. I don't know if that's not at all or just more slowly.

 

[Lyn W]

I have to be careful what I plant because the trees will be up on level ground next to a cliff being supported by a retaining wall. I don't want the tree roots damaging the wall.

Are they raising the level of that road as well as widening it?

New Aldabras in Florida. Look at their size & how they were shipped.

I know nothing about Aldabras, but they don't look as good as Aldabraman's. Maybe they just need some TLC after their very long trip.

 

[Lyn W]

Just had a rocket launch. This was the best I could get with my junk phone. There are 2 tall pine trees on the vacant lot behind me. If they were gone I could get a longer view. The lot is 5 acres classified as commercial. I am going to ask the owner if he minds. Whoever develops it will be clearing the land anyways. View attachment 335916
This is the image as it is moving NE away from me. The trees block the vertical launch.

I'd wait until you know what's going to be built there - you may be glad of the trees to screen off whatever it is.

Pleased to hear you are on the mend, you must have needed to catch up on some sleep to nap that long on the floor! Looking forward to some pics of your Mumcave!!

Good afternoon/evening all.
I've spent the day clearing out a mountain of papers.
Much of it can be recycled and I started off shredding the the personal papers but the shredder packed in so I ended up having a little bonfire to get rid of the rest. The stuff I needed to keep has all been filed.
Not very exciting but quite satisfying.
Lola is still having a wander around which I'm quite happy about because he hasn't been far from his hide all week so he needs some exercise.
It's been a grey but dry day here and unseasonably mild. Normally I'm wrapped up in my scarves and gloves when I go out by now, but they're not needed yet.
I hope everyone is having a good Thursday.

I was sickened & couldn't watch. These are improved habitat for these giants??

They aren’t the fastest growing, but they do produce nice flowers. Most of the houses around here have a few.

Crepe myrtles can grow 24 inches per year, but some are slower than that. To encourage...

Yes I keep reading on them and I want to plant at least one of those. I'm sure the Arbor Day Foundation will send me the type that is ok for my zone. Also I'll be getting a dogwood. I want that one too. I'm going to try to pawn off the Crab Apple ? There's a bunch of other trees included in the package that I'm sure I don't want. They're too big and some Norway Spruce. I might pot one of those for a fresh small tree for the holidays for next year.

Well I think we all are educated enough to know what all that means and who done it.

No wonder you haven't wanted to be on a computer. I feel selfish for wanting your back to heal quickly but I do ???? I can't hardly wait for your pictures again.?

No. My property is higher than the road.

 

[Lyn W]

No. My property is higher than the road.

Phew ! Thank goodness for that!

 

[Cathie G]

Phew ! Thank goodness for that!

I had another thought and I'm trying really hard to be good.... and not recommending washing tort ploppies onto the road since torts don't like torts ? it could possibly make the road a no road kill zone. I know silly right.

That's true, but I have a feeling they will strip the land.

 

[Maro2Bear]

No sunshine here this morning. Heavy bands of rain moving through. No kayaking, no gardening. I guess some grocery shopping & wood working.

Happy Friday

Not hot dog, but definitely anchovies.

I made one with pepperoni, peppers and olives and one with mush, anchovies and capers. Onion, mozzarella and tomato on both ?

We have a shredder, but when I have a lot of paper to get rid of, I burn it too. It is very satisfying, I agree ?
