COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

I'm lucky with these seizures, mine only happen when I'm in bed or asleep. Unfortunately for those new in my life that are close to loving me, they scare the crap out of them and I just sorta have a “shoulder shrug-whatever attitude and that adds to the difficulty. My first exwife thought I'd learned some excellent new moves! LOL LOL LOL I know, I'm bad. We laugh so as not to cry.

Hi Ken. Glad to hear you're laughing rather than crying, as you put it. But PLEASE take care of yourself, as Adam said.

From your lovely French neighbours, wasn't it ?

im not sure, but companys like birdseye were involved... a lot of 'wee wee'. ( don't know how to spell in french )

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It probably means 'kangaroo!

Nope, in only the dialect Guugu Yimidhirr, not the other dialects does it mean "grey kangaroo".

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Or ' what the hell is that?'
Hi Bea.

Nope, they would know wouldn't they ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

The aboriginal word kangaroo means I don't know or I don't understand you . At least that's what Captain James Cook said. Was that the answer you seek Mr Adam?

Nope, popular myth, not true and he was only a lieutenant at the time.
Morning, Mike, how are you ?

Good afternoon Adam Wifey and Tidgy. Still HOT, VERY HOT here. Poor Oli is sitting on the floor in the same old place-his favourite corner-without a single movement.

Glad to hear you get along well with Wifey.

Kisses and hugs from Oli to Tidgy.

Afternoon, Gillian, HOT, HOT, HOT here too.
Tidgy's better today, though she got up late.
Wifey's giggling like a loon while reading a funny book.
I've been nice and busy this morning.
Poor Oli, you given him a soak yet, I guess so.
Has he eaten?

Thanks your usual help Adam.

I've given Oli TWO soaks since he and I got up, and he ate well thank GOD. What else can I do for him? He really is driving me nuts with the heat wave.

At the time Cook arrived in Australia there were 700 aboriginal tribes speaking about 250 different languages. Cook's bunch asked the Guugu Yimidhirr people in the area around Botany Bay what the name of the animal was and they replied ' kangaroo' which applied only to the grey kangaroo and only in that one language.
English settlers arrived from 1788, eighteen years later and had learned the word kangaroo, but did not settle in the Botany Bay area. So, when they pointed at a kangaroo and said knowledgeably "Kangaroo", no one understood as they all had a variety of other words to mean this. They assumed it meant 'animal I don't know' so when the first horses came across the aborigines pointed at them and said, "kangaroo".
So in all but one aboriginal language, kangaroo means "horse".

Not so much crop as crap farmers these days!

Good afternoon Lyn.

I beg your pardon?

 

[jaizei]

[Lyn W]

Aah the Goonies not seen that for years!

 

[Lyn W]

Good afternoon Lyn.

I beg your pardon?

Hi Gillian -you would have to read the previous posts regarding what some farmers are using as fertiliser and where it comes from!
I see that Oli is still not happy with the heat, Lola is our enjoying some mild sunshine here. I have made him a tort tunnel which will make his grassy area nice and warm. He likes it and is having a good graze,
