COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

Where is Adam ?
The dark Lord of the CDR.
The armadillo and hedgehoks friend.
The "polisher" of the yellyfish.
The feeder of the snowleopard and maybe the whoolspider too ?
The chaser of the meerkats.
The counter of the corners.
The wibbler and wobbler.
Tidgys Dad, wifeys husband and the collector of old petrified plants and animals.
My bat companion at night flies.
@Tidgy's Dad : Where are you tonight? I miss you !

It's who we are.
I just ordered an Ancestry DNA kit to see where I'm from once and for all. It might get interesting.

I'd love to do that!

We did that Ed & Yvonne. It was interesting.

What it shows is how your DNA compares with the population of each country as it stands now. It doesn't give you your actual origins, but it does give you a clue as to what's in the mix... And reveals any possible illicit flings of your ancestors!

This one is mine... Very British Isles with a celtic slant which reflects the Welsh half of me:


And this is JoesDad.... Where did that Asian and Native American slip in? We know of infidelities in his ancestry, so it's had an affect. Given JoesDad's red hair, it is surprising that he doesn't show the celtic bias that I do.

Good morning all. It’s going to be a long day today. I am heading up to London later to meet with university friends... it will be a late night and there is likely to be a hangover tomorrow

Interesting stuff!!!!!!!

One potato? I eat just about a potato a day. I love potatoes!

They are too heavy for me to carry.
If necessary I will buy another one soon if wifey is greedy.

Just a quick good morning from the Chesapeake Bay state of Maryland. We are enjoying abnormally warm, sunny days here for late November. Our Pin Oak tree is still full of wonderful, golden leaves, especially as the morning's sun hits the tops!

Ps: since it is #GivingTuesday consider Kiva.org

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good evening Adam.

Is Tidgy planning to come or not? Please let me know so that we can pick her up at the airport.

Tidgy is grounded for attacking the neighbour's donkey.
Sorry, she will not be coming.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

All buzzy Adams and bees need sometimes a rest from their buzziness

It's because I've had so many rests that I now have so much to do.
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very beautiful.
Lovely photos.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That must be a German saying, but I agree

An English equivalent is that it’s like herding cats which is an equally impossible task

Hmmm.
I will try to herd some cats and see what happens. There are lots in the streets here.
Most of them have fleas,so I can try to herd the fleas as well.
Results to follow!

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here I am!
Thanks, that's lovely and fairly accurate.
Though i do not feed the wool spider (if it exists).
It's nice when people miss me.
I miss you too, but I must refrain from spending all day in the Cold Dark Room with my lovely Roommates.

It's been abnormally dry here as well. One of the main reasons why this years' Autumn colors were a bit dull, coupled with only a few hard frosts. There are a few major storms blowing across western Alaska....90 mph winds, allegedly 50-60 ft waves out at sea, these storms are heading east south east and are predicted to bring colder temps and rain this way the end of next week.

Yes, I think all the water has ended up in Europe this year.

Hi Roommates

 

[Yvonne G]

Top o' the marnin' to ya, Noel! And good day/evening to the rest of you.

I needed an excuse for having my oven on in the kitchen this a.m, (I was cold and wanted to use the oven to give me some heat) so I took some leftover apples and made an apple pie. I've never made apple pie before - not a big fan of fruit pie. But the apples were mealy and not satisfactory for eating as is. So in about an hour I'm going to have to set my one-trip-into-town rule aside so I can go get some vanilla ice cream at the store. I bought apples, cabbage, red potatoes, red onions and german sausage to try a recipe that I saw in a sidebar on Facebook. I really love cooked cabbage, so I thought what the heck. Well, folks, if that recipe turns up on your FB sidebar, don't bother. It was pretty yuck!!!! It did smell pretty good, though.

The sun is brightly shining, but it's darned cold out there! I don't have much firewood this year, so I'm being frugal with the firewood. Haven't made a fire in the wood stove yet this year. I've a sneaking suspicion that that's going to change soon, though. Br-r-r-r.

I miss the smell of fireplaces and burning leaf piles.
Now when I smell smoke, it means someones house is on fire.
