I think I mentioned that i had a new DVD player.
When it's on, but not playing it has a 'saver' standby screen that has a coloured oval that bounces around the TV screen and changes colour every time it 'bounces off' the screen margins.
Tidgy has now been watching this for an hour and a half. She would normally have gone to bed by now.
Late night watching TV, we've all been there.

Love it :D

I have just finished watching Strictly Come Dancing (exported to the USA as Dancing with the Stars) and have decided that there's nothing else I want to watch. So I shall retire to my room with a book. Not sure which yet, probably JoesDad's Springsteen autobiography

Yes, I will be reading later, a book of short campfire 'true' ghost stories from the USA. :eek:

Good evening, fellow Roomies! :) The TFO app still won't work on my iPhone even though I have NOT downloaded the new system that has been causing so much trouble. :( So I can only logon when I am at home on my lap top.
Had a very full day: got up early to participate in a river clean-up with the Rotary club. It was quite delightful, really. Most people were out in canoes or kayaks to pick up the trash in the water, but hubby and I, along with Captain John and 2 other members were on his party barge. When the canoes had filled up their trash bags, or when they retrieved an item that was too big or cumbersome to carry easily in their canoe, we uploaded the junk onto the barge. It was a beautiful, clear morning with a breeze! All the participants were happy, hard working and friendly. PLUS I managed to scoop up what I think is wild water lettuce to put in Jacques' tank! :)
As soon as I was done there, I dashed off to a friend's house where 5 of us were getting together for a pot luck lunch. We stayed at her house until 4:30! A wonderful time was had by all!!! :)

I am now about ready to drop, so will send happy thoughts and hugs to all Roomies.
Doubt I'll be on here much tomorrow- having friends over for football brunch, since our team- the New Orleans Saints- are in London playing one of their games. It'll be 2:30pm London time, but 8:30 am our time when the game starts...o_O

Good evening, Bea ! :)
They seemed to have just about fixed the android app, but not the Apple one. So many people still can't get on. :(
Sounds like a terrific day otherwise, and good community spirit, too.
Enjoy your football party tomorrow, wish I were there! :D

Tidgy watched the bouncy thing going around the TV for about two hours tonight.
I can only watch it for five to ten minutes before i become terribly bored.
I have an attention span less than a tortoise. :(
