COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

Hi all!!
Just a flying visit to say hello and hope everybody is doing well.
My house move has been horrific! The people that stayed here before left pretty much all of their furniture and I need to wait until next week before the Charity van can pick it up! In the mean time I've been trying to sell off as much as I can which has been helpful for the back pocket
So I have also ripped out the fireplace, moved all the furniture to the garage (with my fiancé's help!), cleaned the house top to bottom, ripped off the daedo rail(or whatever it's called!) and removed the non edible tortoise flowers out the back garden - well the ones I know aren't tortoise friendly anyway. There are some more though I need to find out about - watch out for the post!
My fiancé is currently plastering the living room and I've had no TV or broadband for a week ing you
Other than that it's all good!

Hi, and hope all goes well at your new home.

Wishing you the best of luck.

So far so good, thanks

See? 20 minutes of silence. No snoring. No scurrying of animal feet. Nothing. There is a sound of water dripping.............4:30- 5:00 a.m.....Not a good time for a visit.

The Brits have all gone to work and the Americans are all still asleep.
Gillian not about at the moment.
The hedgehogs should be around, though.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Ha! Yes, I was too busy staring at my tortoise with a coffee/tea/beer in my hand.

I do a lot of that.
A lot.

I've got my hands full today. It's about 94 with over 80% humidity and I have a frigging LAWN MOWER to work on. A lawn mower!
And not just any lawn mower. A hydraulic drive mower that needs the drive pump, lines and both wheel motors replaced and the tank and filter housing flushed. Something inside blew apart. It's a great greasy mess and I'm not pleased.
Don't they know I'm retired?
Apparently none of the other mechanics know what fluid drive is.....

Fluid drive ?
I know.
It's beer.

Hello Big Boss.

Yes, I was once told to put Oli in a big bowl filled with water, where he can swim,rather than an enclosure.

Silly people.
Oh, dear.
Afternoon, Gillian.

Golly, Abdulla!
Looks, like England, except for the palm trees.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Up really late today!
I just can't drag myself out of bed

By the time you read this, you'll be free for the weekend!
Hurrah!

Hello, denizens of The Cold Dark Room.
Bit late today, got a bit tied up.
It's the last time I agree to be the model for the boy scouts knot tying contest.
Hope everyone is well.
