A day of excitement, elderberries and Ewa.
@Pearly
You are most cordially invited to attend.
It's a bring a battle party so be prepared.
I'm bringing Hastings 1066.

I was thinking of bringing the "Battle of Hogwarts" (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) if that's OK?

All still quite busy in other-forum-moderation-land. The site admins get back from their trade show tomorrow, but I have tickets for WIMBLEDON!

My favourite sport They release some tickets at 9am every day for the next day and we got Centre Court Federer, Serena Williams and Murray Hopefully I'll catch up with you and myself on Tuesday

 

[Lyn W]

She is a mom again by the way.
The fellow that I sold Ruby and Queen Bertha to tells me that she had a new bunch of babies.

That's terrific when you think how ill she was. There she was on death's door and now she's bringing new life into the world!
Congratulations Queen B!

 

[Lyn W]

oh my, it's going on 1500 and i have just woke up!! thankfully I have nothing to do today.

You must have needed it John, make the most of your free time.

 

[johnandjade]

[Lyn W]

Welcome back Lyn! Hope you and Lola are well.

Thanks Gillian we are both very well. Lola is eating me out of house and home and garden but will only stay outside for about 10 mins at a time. I bought him some ramps so he can get up and down some steps easily and he comes and go as he pleases, but he is in more than out even on lovely warm days. I'm going to have to lock him out I think.
Hope you and Oli are well too.

I wish I could have a good sleep like that but even the in holidays I'm up no later than 7.30 and I can't ever get to bed before midnight no matter how I try and then I have to read. I think I will be digging out my brandy for a nightcap when I finish school.

Glad to hear you are both fine.

Oli and I went out for a "walk" in the lovely sun after that.....HEATWAVE I told you about, when temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celcius!

We're struggling to reach 17'C here but my garden is quite a sun trap so the ground temps are warm enough for Lola.
I don't like anything more than about 25'C and then I like to sit in the shade.

I, on the other hand don't like anything below 25 degrees Celsius. Today, as Oli was roaming around, I sat down, as if sunbathing at the sea! Too bad that the see is SO FAR from Amman: it it about 400 km far, which is a real lot for such a small country.

Joe has been eating me put of house and home as well. The rainy season (as June became here) means that we have incredibly lush weed growth, especially clover, in the lawn which Joe eats constantly. He's still managing to put away an entire Romaine lettuce every day on top of his constant grazing. The poop piles are huge!

Maybe they are having growth spurts.
I don't have any clover in my grass but the dandies are doing well - until Lola spots them . I will have to get some more tort seeds to sprinkle about in the grass - they will stand a better chance than if I put them in a tray.

 

[Gillian M]

Lyn, please look at the map above and notice the "distance" between Amman and AQABA.

I got white clover seed from The Shelled Warriors shop online when we had our lawn relaid following building work. It has taken about 5 years to get it established. I only sowed it the one summer, but it took forever to get going. I had just reached the point of assuming it would never be any good when it took off.

Love it, love it!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thanks Lyn W.

And you would be most welcome to pop in for The Cold Dark Roomiversary on the 15th of this month.
Fun, frolics and fruit bats.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Im the same. Love the kids and the day to day ....hate the paperwork. We go back on the 29th of August. Full 9 week break which is lovely. Over in London at the moment for a few days. Nursing a bad head today!

Welcome, welcome, welcome
Please accept a cordial invite to the Cold Dark Roomiversary on the 15th of the month.
Fireworks, fridges and fog galore .

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good evening this time, Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

Oli and I went out for a "walk" in the sun today. Temperature was not that high: 31 degrees C. What's the weather like back in Fens?

Regards to Wifey and kisses and hugs to Tidgy from her boyfriend -OLI-.

By the way, GERMANY beat Italy on penalties! yeh!! Those penalties are so unfair aren't they?

Hi, Gillian, Hi, Oli.
I watched the new BBC Midsummer Night's Dream with Zac, very good.
33 degrees here, so also not too hot in Fes, not sure about the Norfolk Fens. Probably a lot colder.
Germany will face France who beat Iceland 5-2 in a great game tonight.
Penalties are a necessary evil when no one wants to commit and risk losing, as happened in the Germany v Italy game .
They are very exciting though, both sides missed a few.
wifey sens her best regards and Tidgy is asleep, but i'm sure would send a big kiss to Oli if she were awake.

And with Djokovic out, Murray really has a great chance, i feel.
i've been watching some of the games here, good standard and one or two surprises already.
I read all the Potter books to wifey in the different voices, so The Battle of Hogwarts is most acceptable.
Good luck with the admin and speak Tuesday, I hope.
