They look beautiful.
Did you blow the yolk and albumen out first?
Yes and no..
Yes…. I took the yolks and albumen out but
I used a syringe ?!!??
One hole, shake and stab the yolk inside and then squeeze air into the eggs!
voilà!
The yolks of a Sulcata are remarkable!!
It takes a a lot to break one up??!!
But thankfully by the grace of God I got the job done.?

I used to do marbling of eggs with the kids at school for Easter decorations - never thought about using a syringe - great idea though.

I only have wine in the house at the moment and it doesn't seem worth opening a bottle.
A brandy usually does the trick but I don't have any here.
I'll have to get myself some - for medicinal and insomnia purposes only of course!!;)
Well of course only for those purposes! ?

This is an early morning for you. . . I find it hard to sleep occasionally. . .

I usually give it 15 min, if I'm still awake it put the DVR on for 5, 10 . . asleep
My Primary care Physician says to get some Melatonin
That stuff stones me out and gives me a hangover lol, I’ll sleep till 10 the next morning ????

It's now almost 5 a.m. here so I'm going back to bed to see if I can sleep or it won't be worth going at all.
Thank you for your company and your ideas, I'll be sure to try them all out next time sleep evades me.
Hopefully I won't be seeing you again too soon and I hope that you all sleep well when you hit the hay!
Nos Da for now!!

Good morning/afternoon all.
I finally dropped off to sleep and ignored my 7.30 alarm so didn't get up until about 9.30 - well it's not as if I have to be anywhere most days - and I'm having a leisurely morning.

The last day of 2021 in the UK is wet and windy again at the moment, but it's supposed to be drier later. I'm not going anywhere and my nephew wants to stay in his flat, so it will be a quiet night at home. The Welsh Gov. closed all nightclubs a few days ago to avoid big gatherings because of Omircon cases rising steeply, so I think there may be some trouble tonight or partying on the streets from the younger generations.
England hasn't taken similar measures but they are expecting a sharp rise in cases and deaths in January - London is even erecting field hospitals again.
I just hope everyone stays safe.

I'm off to the shop now for some brandy (and for Lola's supplies of course!). No doubt I'll be popping in again later but for now I hope everyone has a good Friday!!

Good day all. Yet another dark gray overcast morning, but mild temps. Feels much more like early Spring than Winter. ?‍♂️

Yikes……have you all seen those nasty wildfire wind storms in Colorado? Apocalyptic in scope & speed. Thousands being evacuated. ??
Good morning,
Yes I did see those fires
And did you see the snow in California!?!
WTH???
Maggie even took pictures of the crazy ?
Going on in her neck of the woods.
I’m guessing if COVID doesn’t scare the
Bujeezus outta ya…..
There’s always the Bible coming to fruition day after day….?‍♀️?‍♀️

in case I spontaneously combust before noon… HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
I thank you all for EVERYTHING!!
Especially my happiness on this wonderful forum.!!!❤️??????????

Good Morning my friends . .
Looks Like California, a couple of Months ago. . .
Aw'ww them poor Folks, I feel for them. . . the helplessness of it. . .
We know exactly what they are going through. The Santa Ana Winds down south will whip a small smouldering briquette into a raging firestorm in NO TIME.
It's hard to fathom how this can happen in "Winter" time, but. . . if you get something hot enough and have enough available fuel, whamo. . . you now have a raging inferno, that will perpetuate itself.
And all the snow in the sierra's is great, but the fire scars will turn into landslides and mud slides come spring time when all the snow starts to melt, and the ground has nothing to hold it together. . . kinda danged if you, do. Danged if you, don't. . . . .
