Don't you think that the clothes they wore in king Charles ii time looks so silly

They would probably think the same about our clothes

We went to the zoo today. There’s a new polar bear in quarantine, waiting to join these two:

The zoo also has a new male tiger, but he killed a female two days ago, in front of the visitors. The zoo doesn’t seem to know what provoked his aggression.

They are not very white. Poor female tiger.

Oh. A very Happy Birthday. The app does not show if it is your birthday or not. I hope you are having a good birthday so far.

Hello everyone?
How are you all?

How are you doing. Still so busy?

They would burn and lock the woman up if they saw the clothes most of us wear. Lol. And don't worry I think some of the clothes the kids wear today are also silly. For example guys with their pants halfway down - I have never understood the thinking behind that.

 

[CarolM]

Nice.

 

[CarolM]

Pretty good, thank you.

I wish I had "The Rack" from old dungeon days. I need my back pulled. When I hold onto something above my head and try to stretch all it does is pull my shoulders. I want to stretch my back. I wonder if Amazon sells The Rack!!!

Turning anti-clockwise from the above view were St James’s Park and Buckingham Palace but they were largely obscured by buildings.

So as we were in Westminster, I grabbed a photo of Westminster Abbey

A gold letterbox - painted that colour to celebrate London hosting the 2012 Olympics. Each 2012 gold medallist from the UK had a leeterbox painted gold in their home town to celebrate their win as well

And finally a classic view up towards St John’s Smith Square church ... the houses were built in the 1770s.

But under the road is a WWII air raid shelter if you look for the sign.

Okay hope I dont get it wrong again. But the houses make me think of the chimney sweep scene from Mary Poppins.

That’s right. Those are Georgian buildings (King George III reign) The terraces of buildings are what they modelled the set for Mary Poppins on

Happy Birthday Raqib. I hope you have had a lovely day [emoji512][emoji217][emoji322]

I know that feeling. Can you reach the top of a door frame and pull on that?

 

[CarolM]

We have more wood than can be burned....but, have a gas fireplace, makes it a doubly worse. Our neighborhood looks like a tornado hit, trees down all over. Mostly big old pines...

Oh dear. Time then to bring out your artistic side and use the wood to make things. Like some of the below ideas. Sad about the old pines though.

That is just the absolute prettiest building ever. I just LOVE this building. Every time I see its picture I try to imagine the workers building it. I have a terrible time with straight boards, and just look at all the curves and spires on that building!

I just looked it up on Wikipedia - it was built from 1555 to 1561. Man o man! over 500 years of age. Can you imagine? I'm surprised the officials of Russian kept it in such good shape as they were so opposed to religion of any sort and it was built as a cathedral. Such a beautiful building.

Hmmm. Very interesting.

Whahaha. I don't think it would work. You should look for something like this:
You ly on it then hang upside down.
