COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning all.

Sabine @Bee62 I loved your photos. It's so good to see where others live. Our localities might seem uninteresting to us, but are fascinating to those of us who have never been there.

My swollen hand and wrist continue to deflate, but I still can't get my wedding ring back on

I have lots of household chores to do today, so I'd better crack on with them. Won't see you later in the gloom of the CDR

Good afternoon, Linda!
At least it's going down.
What chores ?
"Oh, I'll have a G&T, please".
ha haha ha.
Ahem.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Is this the way you do it in Morocco ?
I believe ......

And in every city in the world, it seems to me.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I can`t see the pic !

Hmmmmmm.
How strange.
Don't forget that you can see the (almost) uninterrupted book at http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/esio-trot-by-tidgys-dad.159608/
But comments in the Cold Dark Room, please folks.

HOW TO MAKE A FORTUNE
You can earn yourself a great deal of money by displaying a "How"s My Driving? " sign on your car, along with an 0906 number (£1.50 a minute) which you can acquire through British Telecom.
The, simply drive around town like a complete meerkat.

I'm off out for some Tidgy time and a Mrs wifey photoshoot.
See you later Roommates .

Hi Jane, I am sure we would be friends when we know each other. And you can play an instrument and I can sing. That would be wonderful !
I live here with my boyfriend. But it is my house. I am the only owner.
Looking forward to your pics. I am curious how you live.

I will take some pics as soon as I can, I might wait until the sun comes out to make things look prettier! My house Victorian, built in 1870

People shouldn't feel obliged to show photos of their homes. After all we all have a right to privacy and may not wish our precise location to be identified from a photo of their house and knowledge of the town they live in.

It's not just protecting you, but also that tortoise that may be roaming outside.

(Sorry - the day job includes that of eSafety adviser)

Photos of your locality are welcome and don't have to identify exactly where you live.

I am currently cringing at the GDPR (data protection) law changes being talked about in the UK. People take charge of their own data and have the right to know what happens to it and who sees it from age 13. Sounds great, but... Needless to say there's no guidance for schools who potentially will have a bunch of stroppy teenagers wanting data withheld from their parents as will be their right under the law as it currently stands

Is it predicted that you'll have another sunny day this summer ?
It would be nice to see if you're sure you don't mind.

Absolutely.
No obligation at all.
But a lot of us have each others addresses and post codes already, but I do understand that that is private and an open forum is a different thing.
As always, people here can choose what they wish to do, or what they don't.
No pressure, as we never pressure people to post a photo of themselves.
If they do, great, but it's certainly not compulsory.
Some of these laws don't seem to be thought through properly. .

Well, we got through 5 of the 12 photos that i wanted.
Which isn't bad as it's 47 °C / 177 °F up there.
Then exhausted wifey was getting too hot and her phone overheated.
Hey ho, i'm happy enough and we have to make a tortoise house this evening!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

New snake!
Great news! I like this story.

CAR OWNERS, (but not John)
You can dissuade humorous neighbours and passers-by who say, "You can do mine next! " when you're cleaning your car by simply keeping a hammer in your pocket and starting to batter at your windscreen when you see them approaching.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good evening, Gillian, nice to see you're still about.
Hope you and Oli are well.

Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

So far so good. It's boiling hot here: temp reached 40 degrees temp in Amman! I love it, though poor Oli is melting in the heat. What's the weather like back in Fes?
