COLD DARK ROOM

I thought my I-Net is slow, but it seems to be the forum. Hopefully it don`t break down again.

Yep, having similar issues here too.

Hey, everyone! Hope your week-end is going great. Haven't heard from Dan. Wonder if he's feeling ok.

Today is laundry day. I'm also going to vacuum and clean bathrooms. If I still have any energy after that, I'll start bringing plants out of the greenhouse. It looks like it's a beautiful, sunny day out there.

Thanks. I'm ok. We got the funeral arrangements set up yesterday. Today is mainly just waiting for tomorrow. I bought a new black suit yesterday. The one I had does not fit now.

Mom is being strong until this is over but I can see how it's took a part of her away. Mamaw was always a HUGE part of the family. She was a second mom to me. We lived next to each other all my life and I spent as much time with my grandparents as I did my mom and dad.

It don't seem right for them to be gone now. I know that's the natural way of the world and that we have been waiting on it for a long time. Mamaw had been sick and going down hill for over a year. The last few months were hard. I'm glad she is not suffering now. But it's hard knowing that she is gone. Papaw died 5 years ago but at least I still had mamaw. I moved in with her for 6 moths after that just to help her.

I dread what is going to come though. The splitting up of what she owned. The selling of properties that's been in the family for over a 100 years. The list connections with family that will happen. That's been started a long ago but now there is no one to pull people back together.

I'll be ok. I check in form time to time. I just don't feel like I can talk about a lot of stuff right now. Love you all.

It's a hard thing to have to live through. I'm so sorry you lost MawMaw!

 

[JoesMum]

Do you have cat hair ? These little birds love to make their nest comfortable with the hair of cats, dogs or horses.
In spring when the mammals shed their hair little birds collect lost hair and take it for their nest.

I actively discourage cats from my garden. The fluff that bird has is sheep’s wool thatI put out. Birds seem to like the fur of many animals. My friend’s long haired rabbit provides nesting fluff for her local birds

It’s always an upheaval at times like this. And there’s always a huge amount to sort out. I hope it can be done as swiftly and amicably as possible.

Our thoughts will be with you Dan and you know where we are when you need a hug, someone to listen or aa pair of woolly socks giggle

Take care

I hope not. Lambs are cute, but not in the house.

What do you mean not in the house? Where are you planning to eat it??

Thank you for sharing an update, Dan! Thinking of you and your family.

I keep my lamb in the freezer... that’s in the (detached) garage [emoji23]

Big electronic hugs.

LOL. I’m waiting for Bee to come back and try to kick me for that. I think I’ll start playing hide-and-seek before she makes it here.

 

[CarolM]

I’ll answer that. Just wait for a bit.

Whahaha. I did ask for that.

The birds here use my great Pyrenees's fur. I have even seen them pulling loose tufts out of her back while she sprawls out in the sun. She seems to enjoy the free grooming!

 

[CarolM]

Hope you’ll feel like new when the soreness is gone.

I think I am going to find an osteopath here in Cape Town and see if they can help. And thank you. So do I [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

Hi roommates!
We started the day with a tour of a nearby forest. I’ll share some postcards when I transfer them to the computer. It was a good walk. I’m quite ready to head back to bed though, and it’s not even 2 pm.

Obviously was a good walk. Well done.

 

[CarolM]

I hope not. Lambs are cute, but not in the house.

Lol.

 

[CarolM]

No, it is the same taste. But my own eggs taste much more better than the ones you can buy, because my chicken have acsess to greens and sun 24h / 365 days. And they get yummy cat food every other day.

Yes. And they are much healthier for you as well. You can always see the difference in the egg yolk of a free range egg compared to ones who are not free range. The free range egg yolk has a darker almost orange yolk. Whereas the other is more yellow.

I am really sorry that you are going through this. Just know that we are all here for you and if you need to talk we are here. A very big electronic hug. Thinking of you and your family.
