COLD DARK ROOM

[Big Charlie]

I get free books on my Kindle through bookbub.com. At first it was hard for me to let go of the actual book, and read on an electronic device, but I soon got used to it. It has its drawbacks, but you learn to over look them. I have a three bedroom house. One bedroom is mine, one is for my doll collection and the third is the library:

The books are in alphabetical order according to author. Mostly murder mysteries.

I have quite a few bookcases full too. I stopped buying books because I usually only read them once. Once I reread what I thought was my favorite book and it wasn't as enjoyable the second time around. That doesn't usually happen with movies. Good movies I can watch many times.
There is a thrift store in Porterville where they put boxes of books outside the door that you can take for free.

I just love being surrounded by books, i know some of them I will never read again, some i haven't read at all, yet , though i' hope to get around to it. But they're there if i need to reread a passage or look for a quote. They're just kind of comforting.

 

[Gillian M]

I am, Gillian.
Are you?

Glad to hear that.

No, I'm not.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Glad to hear that.

No, I'm not.

Still bored?

So true. And for this reason I do not buy books.

If I try to re-read a book, I start to skip pages and even chapters. It dd not work.

 

[Gillian M]

Still bored?

Yep. Though not as bored as I was earlier today.

Thanks so much your concern, Adam. I really do appreciate it.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

This will cheer you up.
"Camel burger.".
Always works for me.
Oh, how the long winter evenings fly by.

Oh sure "camel burger" did cheer me up. BUT Winter evenings CRAWL slower than a tort, Adam.

 

[Gillian M]

Been out playing hopscotch with the Tidge.
Kind of a draw.
Back now.

Hope you both enjoyed it.

But at least you have a tort to crawl with, Gillian.
Many people don't , you know.

 

[Gillian M]

Good evening Linda. Hope you are well.

Sorry. Will see to it.

Hi Linda. What about this one?

​

Appreciate an answer. Thanks.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hope you both enjoyed it.

It was fun.
She had a bath too, she quite likes it nowadays.

We go out for walks as well when the weather permits.

Very, very few people here enjoy pets. I presume that this also true in Morocco, correct?

Yup, they don't really 'get' it.

 

[Gillian M]

Yup, they don't really 'get' it.

Very true, though I keep wondering why. OK, I do realize that some pets are costly to buy, keep, take care of etc. The filthy rich here, have dogs only for one purpose: to guard their cars and villas. Here, the poor animal is not a pet.

Isn't that making Tidgy jealous?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Isn't that making Tidgy jealous?

It was Tidgy that had the bath.

 

[Gillian M]

It was Tidgy that had the bath.

Oh sorry. I misunderstood you.
