I must have mentioned it before, Denmark was number 1, but we haven't had that special day of summer in the past couple of years.

Hi, Bee!
I was busy with work much of the day. Then at 3:00 I had to drive Jacques to her check up appointment with the vet in New Orleans, which is a 45 minute drive. Their office was SUPER BUSY: ahead of me in the waiting room were an African Grey parrot, 3 ferrets, a bearded dragon and others. I waited from 4:00 to 5:30 before they even put us in a room. But I could hear how busy they were. Jacques got a clean bill of health!!!!!! He feels she is fully recovered from her pneumonia!!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
Unfortunately she has developed a white patch on her front leg, which he says is very odd and he wants us to keep an eye on it.
I just got home about 15 min ago and am exhausted.
May go to bed early.
But I"m so glad to get the OFFICIAL word that Jacques is recovered!!! Now I can start using "tough love" to get her to eat other things besides salmon!!!!

So happy Jacques is fully recovered now!!!! That's right, starve her -- maybe she'll eat those naughty shrimp!
Hope the white patch is nothing serious, but it's good he'll be keeping an eye on it. Sounds like you have the best vet for our little diva.

Sorry. I got bogged down in paperwork. The meeting took a lot of preparation and then didn’t start until 5pm and ..., finished at 7.30pm

Today needs a little catch up on things I should have got done yesterday, but I will be around more!

 

[Kristoff]

Good morning*, roommates! (*greeting may vary depending on your time zone)
I had a quick bit of work to finish; done now. Have a meeting at the Roskilde Kommune (municipality) tomorrow; might end up taking some pictures for them.

I am so relieved and happy to hear this

Good mornooning everyone (John’s greeting solves a lot of problems)

I have cleaning and ironing to catch up with this morning. Boooooo!

But the sun is out. Hooooraaaaayyyyyy! So a walk is on the cards too

 

[CarolM]

Not no one. Daughter loves going to the dentist (so far): She needs to keep her mouth open for a moment, which she barely closes anyway, and they give her a toy for that!
Hi Carol! Loved your pictures of Scooby-doo. Was it yesterday that he had to stay without human supervision for the first time?

I forgot that our domestic would be there on monday. But yesterday (Tuesday) he did have no human supervision and passed with flying colours. Your daughter is one in a million and I hope her dentist visits are always fun for her.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you Linda. The one who has lost weight is 13 years old. At this age it is possible that there are kidney or liver problems or something else, but I hope that it is not, because he is my "baby". His name is Monty.
I raised him without a cat mommy with my hands in 2005.

Oh shame. So he is extra special to you.

 

[CarolM]

Greetings, all! I’m in a good place right now...

Glad Scooby-doo did so well! How's Bella now? Is she still cautious? Your boys must be so happy to have another dog.

Hi Bee
Sorry I got myself a new toy and was playing with it.[emoji1] [emoji1] lets see if you guys can figure out what the toy is?

 

[Kristoff]

Lol. Did you get any good wine?

It's a shop that's literally -- dangerously -- next door. Husband and I try not to go in very often. I only get coffee there or chocolate, and husband occasionally buys some fancy port or God knows what.

So I will tell myself that I will go to bed ....
Ah, you want to go to bed ? A good decision. Good night.
Good night Sabine, count sheep and sleep well.
Not to see or write you the other day again me hopes.
Good night.....

Sorry I missed you. I have had quite a few conversations with myself. Nothing wrong with it. They can even be good conversations.[emoji6]

Video time...

You have to excuse the film quality as I don’t have recording equipment for my nest box camera, so I am filming this from the tv screen using my phone.

The female builds the nest, but the male is about. I can tell them apart now. His colours are much sharper and he is slightly smaller. Her breast is more “smudged”

First up 18 March - the male comes in and then is replaced by the female who does some of her regular woodpecking

And this is a week before - 11 March - the female up in the top left pecking and pecking. She does this a lot.

Morning all, it’s a bright frosty morning here in the East of England
I’m off to work!
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning Katie
It is a public holiday here for us. So yayyyyy a day off.
