COLD DARK ROOM

English eccentricity.
We're proud of our silliness.

As with so many sports... they were invented/the rules formalised in the UK. We taught other countries how to play them and have been gracefully losing ever since

Cricket, rugby, football...

Our sense of humour is essential

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

USEFUL TIP.
The jelly stuff from between the meat and pastry of pork pies, once heated a bit, may be easily spread with a brush and is a nice cheap alternative to varnish for doors, cupboards and your skirting boards.

Personally, I think it's terribly impolite for other nations to beat us at our own games.
Just not cricket!

And we bought a few books and a stack of DVDs for only a few Euros, it's the cases I need.
Tidgy loves checking out new things.

Though she soon looses interest..........

Notice the copy of "Esio Trot" by Roald Dahl.
I shall be returning to that, later.

We cannot get jelly babies in Morocco as the govt. fear it will encourage people to eat babies.
True Fact.

How very strange...

That's lovely.
Thanks very much.
Can I have a hug from the sheepies and kitties, too ?

I ask them. I am sure they accept. They love it to cuddle people.

Oh, goody!
Good evening, CCL Bee.

Good evening Adam. All well ?

I love pictures of Tidgy. How old is she ?

It`s so crazy !

Good evening Adam. All well ?

All good here, a nice day of doing very little today. (again).
I've had Tidgy a bit less than 6 years, but she was a few months old, so i'm guessing 6 and a half.
Here is another photo for you.

Examining her Christmas card.

Yes, a few members have used similar things.
Not for me, I'm afraid.

Thank you for the photo. She is big. And dark.
What species is she ?

She often beats me at chess.

Lovely ! I don`t know Tidgy`s playing chess.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes, she got into the 2016 TFO calendar with a similar pose.
She's an expert.
Here's another photo.

Good night Adam. I am so tired and I don`t know why !
My bed is calling my name.
"Here I am, I`m coming soon " ---my reply.
Im going to count sheep but the counting wouldn`t last for a long time. I only count to two and then .... sleep.

G'night, Sabine, sleep well after your little count.
I will have to count for longer.
I will count Tidgy photos instead.
Sorry, but I can't resist showing off my little girl.

It looks like Tidgy is a very well-read tortoise!

Hi, Bea.
Yes, she often sits on the papers I'm reading or writing and investigates new books.
