COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Indeed, all the very best of good luck vibes headed in your direction.Good morning everyone
Looks like I have a road test for my job tomorrow. Good luck to me
Good morning, Noel.
Good afternoon, Gillian and Oli.Good afternoon Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.
Keeping warm ?
Er......, happy February.Well I've been to yoga and while me knee feels kind of weird, it's not hurting and it's certainly no worse than it was before
In the interim the hospital wants to move my godmother from the acute ward to a more appropriate level of post operative care in a nursing home and she's flatly refusing to be discharged. The dementia isn't helping here. We're working on it.
And her husband's bypass op, at a different hospital, has been postponed until next week. So he's holding a bed too.
I think my cousin could quietly murder both at the moment as they're giving her a hard time about things beyond her control. I sent flowers and chocs yesterday... to my cousin as she seemed most in need of comfort of the three of them!
The weather is yucky and deteriorating. I'm going looking for a comfort film to watch on tv
Oh, well, at least it's gotta get better soon.
Enjoy your film.
And let's not forget the phenomenal selection of camel burgers! @JoesMumGood afternoon, Linda.
Don't forget Fes medina!
And we also have Roman ruins with some of the most beautiful mosaics not far away in Volubilis, the edge of the Roman Empire, an exotic holiday location for very rich Romans.
Good afternoon, Adam!
Afternoon.
First lesson done.
Next one not due for 3 hours or so.
Politics lesson this morning, not that I shall discuss it here, but most interesting to hear Moroccan views on things.

A few more postcards from me, this time from Hierapolis / Pamukkale.

Hierapolis was considered a sacred city in the Antiquity. It has a vast necropolis in the north. Variety of architectural styles of the tombs suggest that the dead were brought here from various other areas for burial.

This has to be one of the most beautiful burial places in the world: A tomb standing on a travertine.

The city gate built during Byzantium. Behind it is 900-meter-long Frontius street, once with shops and basins for washing.

Thermal water from underground made its way throughout the city along natural canals, these two ending in a thermal lake.

The site of Plutonium, an alleged entrance to the underworld. Poisonous fumes and carbon dioxide from the underground to this day kill any bird flying into it.
View attachment 198796
The magnificent Hierapolis theater towering over the city. Only the first of three levels of the stage have been restored.

Dionysus and Pan - possibly my favourite piece in the museum, housed inside a relatively well-preserved Hierapolis Bath.

This isn't snow. This is calcium carbonate, which gives Pamukkale its Turkish name - "the Cotton Castle". Most of these terraces were overflowing with thermal waters at one time. Today, there are a few natural pools at the top, open to the public.

All in all, this is the ancient city I would want to live in. Provided I was not a slave. Or a woman.
Those are just beautiful. You're so very lucky to have been able to go there.
And an ancient ruin?Good morning, Yvonne.
I am very beautiful, too.
I'll get my coat shall I? ... * slinks out *
Nope, beautiful ancient ruin suits me fine.
UPDATE.

Thanks, Ed, but no, that's fine.
With my experiments with apple and Stilton sandwiches yesterday, I know she is willing to eat, but just not what is good for her.
I must be stubborn and starve her til she eats what she's given.
I have 3 or 4 varieties of European Mazuri equivalents, one of which is her favourite thing in the world usually, but nope, not a nibble, not a sniff.
I will be stronger than her, but it's hard.

Is it every winter, or are our torts giving us extra hard time this winter?
I'm thinking of Lola (@Lyn W), Oli (@Gillian Moore) and now Tidgy...
They've obviously got their own PM going and are in cahoots to deliberately try to wind us Humans up.Goodness indeed
