COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Greetings all. Been busy working in our garden, cutting up downed trees, and out kayaking on #EarthDay. Heres a quick snap of the 105 ft lighthouse we paddled out to on Sunday. This lighthouse guides ships heading up into Baltimore from the south...as well as a pix of the deserted Hart-Miller island where we stopped for lunch.

Hart-Miller Island - Hart-Miller sits a mile off shore from Rocky Point State Park (RPP). It is five miles around, with an expansive beach, camping and restroom facilities. It used to be two islands but these were joined in the 1980’s by a dike and in-filled with dredged material from the Baltimore channel.

Lighthouse - 105 ft high Craighill Channel Lower Range Rear Light, which guides ships coming from the south into Baltimore Harbor. It's the tallest lighthouse in Maryland and was built in 1875.

Lunch on a deserted island sounds very romantic... Or not — depending on what you ate.
As always, lovely postcards. Thank you, Mark!

Good you had the option not to be there. Sitting is the worst when your back is sore.
Get well soon, Linda.

I absolutely agree w Lena. [emoji2][emoji173]️

 

[Laura1412]

I am sorry to hear about your back pain. I hope that you feel better soon. Take care.

Always thinking of @Laura1412 when I read that someone has back pain.
How are you Laura ?

I’m still the same Sabine but plodding on how is urself good I hope

In the CDR there is only me as Bee, or am I wrong ?

Yes. I'm remembering one was 'Bee', and that's Sabine, and the other was 'Bea.'. I've been trying to figure out if Bea was 'beebeeleaves' (or something like that.)

 

[Yvonne G]

We have Bee62 as in Sabine and Bea as in Moozillion

Two Bee/a s

Ok! Now I got it. Thanks, Linda. So which one of them was the bee keeper? This old age memory thing is the pits!

Nice to see you Laura

I am pleased to report slow but steady improvement through today. I don’t stay in one place for long... laying down and walking are more comfortable than sitting.

Laying flat on my back on our conservatory seating allowed me to spot a Red Kite (that’s the bird of prey rather than the toy) this afternoon which is a first for me in our town. They are very common in other parts of the country, but have only just started to appear in Kent. I must do this more often - laying flat on my back in the conservatory rather than the back pain

And son has just announced that he has handed his university dissertation in. [emoji322]

He has a couple of presentations to do in mid May and then his university career is finished (apart from graduation)

I am doing well Laura. Spring is here and warm weather and sunshine always make a good mood.
I am sorry to hear that you are still the same. No improvment with your back, is that right ? I am sorry to hear that. Is it painful for you sitting at your computer or typing with your phone ?

 

[Bee62]

Yes. I'm remembering one was 'Bee', and that's Sabine, and the other was 'Bea.'. I've been trying to figure out if Bea was 'beebeeleaves' (or something like that.)

Indeed there is another user/member with beebee.... but I can`t remember the full right nick name. When he or she crosses my way on the forum the next time I will let you know the other nick.

 

[Bee62]

Ok! Now I got it. Thanks, Linda. So which one of them was the bee keeper? This old age memory thing is the pits!

I believe that Bea keeps no bees and nor do I.

I wish I could send you some health of me. Take care of yourself and pop in here whenever you are able to. We haven`t you forgotten, Laura.
Lot`s of hugs ( careful hugs that don`t hurt your back ) for you and your lovely animals.

I think his immediate plans are for sleep.

Daughter slept for pretty much 24 hours straight after handing her dissertation in. She went to bed around 11am and woke up next morning!

I think son may be about to do something very similar!

Nice to c u Linda sorry ur back is not great too x

It’s just so frustrating as I am sure you know. You want to do things, but either can’t or daren’t. I am doing my best to stay mobile, but really fear that I will seize up completely at some stage.

I know you are much worse than me and really wish there was some magic wand that could fix both of us.
