COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

I spent a winter in Poland when the temp dropped to minus 40 including wind chill. You could walk on the frozen Baltic. That was cold so I can certainly imagine far worse than your winter.

Minus 40 in Poland! Incredible. Definitely much worse than Winter here.

Good evening all. I have JoesDad and daughter home now

However, this is merely a transit camp... i shall be leaving at 6.45am tomorrow to take daughter to Gatwick airport as she's heading off to the Mediterranean for a week. On Sunday I Will take JoesDad to Gatwick so he can fly to Majorca (Spanish island) for work and then it's peace again!

Nice to have them back albeit only briefly.
No peace for the wicked.

I can't even stand +40F. That is about our average low in the winter. I do think you get used to the climate somewhat. We moved from an area that got colder, and the first winter here, I was very comfortable, even working outside in a tee. Then I got used to it, and now I'm cold all winter long.

I can't deal with the cold any more.
No more cold winters for me.
I'll migrate if it gets too cold here.
Head South til it's warm.

Thanks the advise Sabine.

You'll be surprised if I tell you this: you advised me to keep the light on a week ago, I think. Well, I did. However....when I put on his light, Oli falls asleep and stretches his legs meaning he's relaxing. When the light is off Oli remains wide awake! Somewhat "funny" is it not? Would like to hear your opinion as well as @Tidgy's Dad . Thank you both.

Oli is acting somehow .... weird. I have no idea...

Mohr is probably the equivalent of Moor in English, the 'black' men from Morocco who occupied Spain.

That`s right.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That`s right.

Good evening, Sabine.

So ugly that they are cute.

 

[Bee62]

I never heard that word. My relatives used the word schwartz.

It is a very old word for black people.But it is a abusive word.
But for my cat it is only a name, nothing bad, only a name for a black cat.

So ugly that they are cute.

Dull and unremarkable.

Hi Ed, no tortoise is ugly !

 

[Bee62]

"Schwarz" means "black" though without the letter "T." Right, @Bee62 ?

Yes, that`s right.

I reckon a really ugly tort might win it.

But maybe not that.

Good evening, Sabine.

Good evening Adam. Sorry, I was busy with reading all posts.

No problem.
Have you had a splendiferous day?

 

[Bee62]

No problem.

Honestly ? No.
I am a little bit sick. Cystitis ....
