Hi Laura

Sorry I haven't been online since this morning. Looks fine to me.

Had a lovely day. Pub lunch with aunt and finished the day seeing daughter's new home in Southampton which is only 30 minutes from where my aunt lives :)

Good evening everyone.
Looks like some of you have had a busy week too.
Hope you are all well and looking forward to a good weekend.
I have visitors this weekend as my nephew and his wife are taking part in the Welsh Velathon,
so will be out supporting them on Sunday.

Hello everyone, long time no see.

Hope you're all doing well. I've been busy with school and gymnastics. Had loads of exams and failed most of them (it's okay, they were only end of years). Hurt my hip and was out of gymnastics for a while but I'm back doing it now, just being careful. The gerbils are good, they chewed a hole in their water bottle and I had a call from my mum who was panicking that they had no water. Luckily, I had a spare. Monty is as soppy as ever and spud is enjoying his outdoor enclosure. ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1499521308.124397.jpg

Has anyone reminded the wool spider to get that bunting hung up that she knitted? It's hard to see if she's done it by jellyfish light, but we really ought to decorate for @Yvonne G's birthday.

Happy Birthday from the CDR Yvonne! :)

I almost missed this. Haven't been in the CDR for a few days. Thank you so much! Did you ever get the decorations up? Sorry I missed them!!

Hello there!

Welcome back to the CDR; we have missed you :)

Sorry to hear about the exams and the hip. The only way is up from there :)

Love to the gerbils, Monty and Spud. I am sure Spud is loving the hot weather we have had recently!

I never told you my best friend has a spaniel also called Monty. He's gorgeous, but daft!

Aw, he's beautiful!

Must be something about the name because my Monty is also daft :)

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my dear Gnu!
I am sorting some decorations forthwith!
And I have made you some cheesecake
Enjoy!
Adam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back to the CDR. So pleased to see you :) I do hope you, wifey and Tidgy are well.

I am just back from a meal out. Year 10 students (age 14-15) studying catering from my Governor school were given the opportunity to run a pop-up restaurant at a very good restaurant owned by an alumnus of the school.

The food was fabulous. Just such a fantastic opportunity for them. If only all my Governor duties were so pleasant.

I've only been gone 10 minutes!
wifey is enjoying her reading, smoke knitting and origami,Tidgy kayaking, wine tasting and yoga.
I mainly sleep.
I have some pop-up pterosaurs in a book Bea sent me. @Moozillion They would fit into the restaurant, I expect.

Sounds fun, hope you're enjoying the tennis.
Love, Adam

I know your definition of 10 minutes is pretty flexible in the Middle East, but it has been months since we last saw you! The Tardis's time co-ordinates are a bit out again.

I'm so glad Tidgy is enjoying the kayaking. Is she on white water yet, or still on the flat? I am a retired paddler myself (really!); my Dad was an instructor and I competed in slalom... I was pretty good until I moved to the land of flat water and then my back gave out :(

The one legged pirate might need reminding of your presence. He's been getting a little sloppy of late. The armadillos are very pleased to see you.

As for the tennis. It's been a good summer so far. French Open, Queens and Eastbourne (which no longer clash) and now Wimbledon. We've been lucky in the ballot for the first time in years so we get to go next week :)

Time is relative.
I must have overslept or set my alarm incorrectly.
Today i watched "Castrovalva" part 2 in my episode of the day, episode 555, 1982, Peter Davison's first story.
Still a way to go.
Tidgy prefers Sand Kayaking, though she loves the water, it's been hot here so she spends a lot of the time in my paddling pool or under the shower or terrace tap. I used to like canoeing/ kayak, too, but ate my kayak in the rainforest in Myanmar when i was hungry.
Can"t find the One-Legged Pirate, think he is hiding from me. Am overwhelmed with the enthusiastic armadillo welcome.
Enjoy the tennis, very open this year, sadly i forgot qualifying again! ;)
