COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

some Scottish slang... barkin'

used to describe something that is filthy, or someone unattractive.

'that motor was barkin, it took me 2hrs to clean'

'have you seen jimmys new girlfriend, she's barkin! '

Hi John. We're fine as it's been nice and warm, with temperature reaching 20 degrees C, which is "hot" for February. I took OLI for a "walk" in the lovely sun today, which both of us love and enjoy.

How are you and what's the weather like back there?

to all at CDR.

Things are getting interesting. And not really in a good way.
I still haven't decided when I should go up to Georgia or if I should drive or fly.
The A/C unit in my house is taking a dump and it's the "old" R-22 style and the whole thing must be replaced.
And some mystery animal is crushing my bushes in the back yard. It looks like some type of animal has been jumping from the top of the fence and crashing into the Hibiscus, very ungracefully. Breaking off branches, etc. I'm going to set up a live trap.

The weather is back to warmer. All of the tortoises are back outside.
I've installed 60 watt heat lamps in the night houses. I removed the 100 watters.

When we use barking - it means mad, as in barking mad.

Sorry to hear you have such a lot on your plate Ed.
Hope your Mum is stable and recovering well.
We don't have to worry about A/C over here - the stores have it but there's not really much need for it - even in our summers.
As for the flattened hibiscus, maybe some of the armadillos have escaped from the CDR! They have been a bit neglected lately so probably looking for food.

It's freezing here! Temps down to -5'C last night and not likely to rise above 2'C today - but at least its dry and quite sunny.
Dog walking this afternoon - will be good to blow a few cobwebs away.

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble logging on or staying on the forum (or internet in general) at the moment and its driving me mad, so if you all get the feeling that your flying it will be me hurling my laptop through the window!

Hi Gillian we are still stuck with the cold weather at the moment so it will be a long while before Lola can go out.It is supposed to be getting warmer for the weekend but with the higher temps comes rain
Glad you and Oli are able to get out and about.
