COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

@Tidgy-hebdomadal-vis
Dear Tidgy's Uncle, when you receive your card (sent to Adam's household), I'd like to make a quick explanation as to why I thought of sending you that one. It's less random than it may look!

I shall pass this on.
(the message, and the card) .

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

i'm sure i had my bum out

Not again!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning.
It's very warm this morning. Hot even.
It was a pretty uneventful weekend.
My refrigerator started having ice maker issues about a month ago with the line freezing up. the defroster mechanism for the ice maker line went out and now there is a sheet of ice inside the bottom of the freezer from the water dispenser leaking inside the door and dripping out the bottom into the freezer.
parts of the water mechanism have also frozen and cracked. So now I have the water to the "fridge turned off.
I've already had to replace the compressor fan on this mechanical turd twice. So now I'll be shopping for another "fridge. Just not one made by SAMSUNG.
I just hate working on things around the house on my days off and something is always broken.
So, A good weekend overall.

Good morning, Ed.
Perhaps your TORTOISE gift will be a new fridge.
Here, a popular make is Arçelik.

It looks to be @Cowboy_Ken s
Birthday

It is.
@Cowboy_Ken
Nearly mentioned it on Zsa Zsa's thread, but it was still a bit early for you.
Happy, Happy birthday, and may you have a special time with special people!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Bleuch!
That would make me feel worse!

Good afternoon, Lena.
i've been cleaning again all morning.
Just stopped for a break.

Good afternoon, Adam!

Hope you're all well.

As far as I know, it would be beyond the TORTOISE limit.

Oh my, it's only a few sleeps more and it's Christmas!

Yep very good.
Just having a play with Tidgy.
You ?

If one were to steal one, it would be allowed.
Or if it fell off the back of a lorry.
Or if it were a very small fridge.

I hadn't thought about that! Good idea, for next year
I'm watching the BBC about postal workers' strike in the UK. Hope my postcards will reach Linda and John by Orthodox Christmas.

I managed to do some writing, so I'm very well now. Also been engaged again in the Arts and Crafts movement with my girl after her school. More Christmas cheer to spread:

Yes, and some airport baggage handlers are striking, too , i think.
One of the reasons for striking is to gain sympathy from the masses.
This is just going to make people sad and angry.

Is it made in China?
I bought the Samsung because it did NOT have the horrible Tecumseh compressor. But it has other issues.

How lovely!
Though I'm not so keen on the still life in the background.
I hate fruit.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

How many of us have not gotten our TORTOISE yet?

Turkish make.
Don't know about compressors in it.
Not sure I want my cheese compressed.

Are you by any chance related to my husband? He claims his aversion to fruit is genetic.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Just you and half another person's.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I say that, too.
So perhaps saying that is also genetic.
In which case we are probably closely related.

I have no idea what you're talking about, Ed, but I peeked into my fridge. This is what I found -- if it tells you anything at all
