COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

I’m surprised at myself that I’m terribly nervous about Jacques being back in her tank. I’m trying to second guess anything that could go wrong. [emoji51]
I need to quit staring at her and go do some chores or something. [emoji38]

Worrying is natural, unfortunately. But, Bea, you’re a great turtle mom. And tort mom. Let it go. You can know or control everything. Go do some chores.

Good morning, roommates!
Finally checking in properly. Daughter is back at school, and I had my yoga lesson earlier. The sun is shining. Planning to have another cup of coffee. Should probably do some work too, but as a Russian saying goes, “Work is not a wolf — it won’t run away into the woods.”

This is my parrot. And I have this since 2003 or 2004.
It speaks our language.
Love him so much [emoji173]View attachment 229798

And he lost his 1 leg. A long hair wrapped on his leg and he started to cut it we didn't notice. It started to bleed. When we saw his leg was bleeding very badly. Then we cut hair that can easily be cut. Then we used a piece of cloths along with medicine to cover it. After some days it dried he then cut all of his leg by his own. And since now he is one legged parrot [emoji1][emoji1][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22]

Its about 6-7 months or more ago.

Good morning. How are you?
What do you do?

This is my red eared slipper turtle. Bought it about 2 or 3 weeks ago before my toothless (Russian tortoise)View attachment 229799

Slider. I think, not slipper
By hand slipped [emoji23][emoji23]

Good morning! I’ve been reading your posts about your temps of around 15-20C with a healthy dose of jealousy I do some freelance work at the moment.
Sorry about your parrot. Does it hurt him to have just one leg?

It hurt him that time. But now he is fine doing well. Thanks God. I was so worried about him. Now he is totally fine [emoji173][emoji4]

I’m in Denmark now; it’s -1.
Which city are you from? I seem to remember reading both Karachi and Lahore, but I forget now...

I’d like to show off. A year (or two?) ago I took a picture of my girl’s three generations — only hands. The place where we lived in Turkey is famous for its tangerines. A week ago I was given a gift code from a printing company to test their product. So, arriving today, is that special picture, on an aluminum sheet. I like!

P.S. I’m not wearing my wedding band. The silly thing shrank over the years. (And not that my fingers became too plump!)

I am from Karachi.
Woah -1! [emoji33]

Wow. Only once a year. They bill us once a month. Basically there is a meter and they read it once a month then bill us. For a household of four for about a months consumption you are allowed 6000ltrs. If you go over that you must have an exceptional reason and or they will put in a device which will switch your water off once you get to a certain consumption point. So my family we check our water meter every couple of days to see that we are still within our quota. Of course if we can save any water like doing the washing the way I did. It will help to put day zero that little bit further away until we can hopefully receive some rain.

That makes the difference:In Germany there is enough water. You can fill your swimming pool ( when you have one ) every other day ( exaggerated said ) and no one will stop you if you pay for it. You can wash your car or take water for your garden as much as you like.
You have not enough water and must safe it.
I am afraid that someday in future wars will be fight about water resources.

My husband feels naked without his cowboy hat (remember we are from Texas)

That`s funny ! I heard men from Texas are born with a hat on their head....

Agreed. Next war will be about water.

Probably. But then you are still using municipal water from the dams. And we are supposed to be trying to save as much water as possible. Whether we are at home or work or wherever you are. On a good note the place we are going to tomorrow and Saturday and sunday don't have a water problem. So I can have a nice long hot shower. So looking forward to it. They also have a hot pool. My back and feet are going to be very very happy.[emoji322]

Enjoy your shower and swimming in a pool. You deserve it !
