Good evening Sabine, how are you?

Good evening Jane. I am fine. Thank you very much for asking.
How are you ?

I am good thanks. Your new cat looks lovely...

 

[Kristoff]

Howdy, Lady, back !
I have a new cat. He lost his home because his "tin opener" moved. Here he is. His name is "Findus".

Gorgeous kitty!
Hello, Bee. Two questions:
1. Does "Findus" = "Find" + "us"?
2. What's a tin opener?

 

[Kristoff]

We could exchange hot temps for rain.

Can I participate in the exchange, please?
Didn't take my daughter to yoga last night, (partly) because of a moderate rain. If I turn this into a habit, though, we won't be able to go out until, hmm, late May?

 

[Kristoff]

Good morning, roommates.
I have a dream.
We're traveling to Canada in about two weeks, which could become our new (permanent?) home after Denmark.
I dream we'd have a little house with a garden. I dream I'd have a new dog, a new cat, and a new tort - because I still miss those I had to leave behind in Turkey. Daughter and I have "decided" on an Angora for the cat, a Husky for the dog. Is Russian my only/best option for the tort?

EDIT: OK. After my second cup of coffee, I see the "What's" should have been "Who's"

Wow. That's exciting!

I believe Huskies require A LOT of exercise and don't make great house pets, so you may want to reconsider that part of the dream

If you move so frequently, is it best to avoid getting a tortoise that you know you can only have for such a short part of its life? (EDIT i just reread and saw permanent ) That said, there may be a Canadian rescue that would be delighted to have someone foster for them

Any of the Testudo (Russian, Greek, Hermann's) would be fine, but the outdoor season in Canada is short... Much shorter than it is in the UK... so an indoor enclosure and hibernation are inevitable.

The Canadians are really tough on working visas so well done if you can secure one

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. I'm up and breakfasted. Now to catch up on the chores... :/

You would be most welcome, Lena, but I don't think I have enough donkeys.
I'll see what I can do.
Perhaps Ed @ZEROPILOT could help out in our sending hot weather to miserable cold wet places.
Ed?

What a lovely dream.
I would have a pet Mountie in my version of that.
And a bear.
Aren't husky's a bit growly?
A Russian would be good, but a Hermann's or Greek would be acceptable, too, I should think.

Pretty much SNAP !

Good morning, Linda!
I have a bit of shopping to do and then some wood staining later, to protect my outside woody,;planky bits from the rain, if it ever gets here.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, Roommates!
Or should that be, "Good morning, ladies?"
Since Ed has been taking a break, John, Kevin and Grandpa are having iOS problems and the others rarely post, I am the only bloke left in the Cold Dark Room.
Just me and a dozen lovely, beautiful ladies.
Life could be worse.

Hello again. The washing machine is rumbling away on its second load. I have been to collect my new glasses, so I can see better now And I have been back to the superman to get the things I forgot yesterday... like a carrot. I would have bought more than one carrot, but they're enormous!

I'm hoping the weather will dry up a bit so I can mow the lawn this afternoon. It's starting to look like a hay meadow again

I need to get new glasses.
"Superman" ? I didn't know he sold carrots. The snow leopard will be pleased. Does he deliver at the speed of light ?
It's wise to just buy one of each vegetable at a time.

Good old predictive text

I am very short-sighted, but have now reached the age where my reading vision is being over-corrected by my distance prescription. I wear varifocals which are brilliant, but I had reached the stage where I was having to take my glasses off to read

It's become a habit. I am having to stop myself taking my glasses off even though I can read perfectly well now!

Just five years ago I had no need of glasses.
Now my eyesight is rapidly worsening and I have three pairs, usually i've got the wrong ones on for what i need to do and can't see well enough to quickly find the required pair. It's quite amusing in a way.

Only What Would Fit In A Bottle. But it would be nice. It's 90 while it's raining here.

It's more like 9 here when it's raining ... That is C not F, but still
