COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

That seemed like such a short break!

It was 6 weeks but the time has flown by.
So many plans at the start of it - I made a list of things to do - not much crossed off!

Do you get much time off in the winter

Do you get much time off in the winter

We will have a week's holiday at the end of October (half term).
Then 2 weeks for Christmas.

Hello...

Hi welcome to the CDR.
Don't know where Adam is but he would tell you to take a seat on an armadillo and give you 3 points.
So I'll do it on his behalf,
What you up to?

I've been here before. I'm laying on my bed thinking about things.

Can I see outdoor enclosures that you guys have for your torts? I'm wanting to make one but I don't even know where to begin?!!? I always look at pictures and never get tired of seeing new ones. I have something to work with here and I know I will have to pull the plants all out and start clean here. But then what?? If I begin, I just want it to be done right and safely for my torts. It's about 26 fee long and I'd definitely widen this area. It's about 3 ft wide. What plants do you guys put in for Redfoots.

Pictures taking forever to load tonight, so i'll come back to you on yours.
My Tidgy's a Greek, of course, and doesn't actually have an outdoor enclosure as such.
She spends time with me on the terrace, which is tiled and silly hot, but she has her soaks in the shade there and sits under a running tap sometimes.
There's a room up there, that has my geological specimens in, that has a plant tub filled with water, that keeps the humidity at ridiculous levels as it has no windows. This is her hide. All very bed for her I know, but she loves it (not a good excuse.)
Mostly, though, she spends her time in the garden, which I must measure, but is long and thin and mostly dead grass, surrounded by bushes right now.
When it rains this becomes rich in dandelion, sow thistle, prickly lettuce and other yummies, but for now, I put down prickly pear pads for her.
She can't escape and someone is with her for every minute anyway, she is NEVER left unattended outside.
I'll try to get wifey to get some photos for you, but it's not really what you're looking for, I feel.

As good a place as any.
It used to be the only place I had peace and quiet to think

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good night COLD ROOMERS.

Night, Gillian .
It's COLD DARK ROOMERS, please.

So true. It's working out, walking, or laying in bed when I think about things in life. Not really depressed or sad anymore which is a plus for me. I'm more happy and excited in life. I haven't felt so happy in 5 years.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Night

I am the Good Knight.
Or the Good Nought, I can't remember which.

Ed (Zeropilot), has Redfoots, we'll ask him next time he pops in.

That's great! Has something special happened to make you feel better?
Don't feel you have to answer that - I'm just pleased you feel so positive.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That was some ironing session! I should have been sponsored for charity.
I usually keep up every Sunday but during the holidays I've let it slip and only ironed what I needed.
Back to reality this week!

I think I mentioned I do all the ironing.
The servants have no idea and wifey won't.
"sigh".
I don't mind i suppose.

Well last week me and my ex broke up, but I found a new girl the next day out of the blue. She asked me for my number when leaving class and I gave her it. Next day I bought her a cup of coffee and we chatted outside school waiting for class to start. Yesterday she came over to my place and we chatted some more and she wanted to see my room so I showed her and then I kissed her when I closed the door because my room was messy haha.

Tuesday
It's a bank holiday in the UK tomorrow so few people in work.
The children aren't in until Weds.

I think it's really meanie, mean-mean starting back straight after the bank holiday.
Your holiday and the kids minus a day, is spoiled thinking you've got to go back straight after.
In my day we'd start on the Thursday if that happened, or the following week.

Well you're a quick worker!
So I suppose you may be tidying your room a bit more often now ?

I agree with Meech, it's just flown by.
You've been so much fun, be sorry to have you around less in here.
The Cold Dark Room will be pun bereft.

Hello...

Hi, Austin, welcome back, been a while since you first visit.

 

[Killerrookie]

No I still have a messy room because it's just gonna get dirty again. I'll just go to the guest room/sisters room instead haha.
