I think we get excited about the royals because we grow up on fairy tales of kings, noble princes and beautiful princesses but have none of our own. Don’t know if that’s good or bad-

When I worked in New Zealand for 2.5 years I was surprised to experience how reserved the Kiwis are. So I guess that’s a small example for me.[emoji2]
You could be right.

My physio is a qualified osteopath and acupuncturist as well.

Today I had some of everything - including acupuncture studs strategically placed in my ear lobes that are still in place to help with stress and pain.

Chiropractic doesn’t look at the whole body in the way osteopathy does.

She has worked wonders today. I have needed far fewer pain killers. :)
Yay. That is good news. I am seeing the osteopath I found here in Cape Town tomorrow. Will tell you how it goes.

Maybe this is just a midwest thing but, when I picked up my new Russian they tell me her name is Lucy.
OK, this just won't work for me because I have a bird named Lucy and I'm not George Foreman so I don't want two kids with the same name.
I've spend some time trying to think of a new name, nothings coming to mind that fits.
This is really the first pet that I have ever had that I need to think of a name for, most everybody has come to me second hand and named by the previous owner.
So one day I'm showing off pictures of my new found 4" friend and someone being funny asks "what's she going to be when she grows up?"
The first thing that pops out of my mouth is "Booya". I find this hilarious and think I'm pretty clever. Then the person looks at me in horror and asks if I'm really going to raise this for food? To me this is even better than what I said.
Her name is now Booya, I call her Boo.

It's okay I had chickens named dumpling, pot pie, and casserole LOL

Here are the pics. Got distracted by aphids on my rose bushes.
Don't know why they put "waste treatment" on it. Maybe they bought it from someone else...
We probably won't be able to start on it for about two weeks while getting stuff done in the house. In that time I'll sketch out some ideas and we will start ordering stuff.
Hubby also informed me that he bought some sheets of of lexan and nylon from an online surplus auction. He will pick it up on his way to work, should be able to make good use of it.
The very first thing will be to unbolt the "box" from the frame and give it a good sandblasting to get rid of the rust and then paint it... Wish the box height was a tad taller. Need to get official dimensions.
Alright, now I'm getting myself excited.
PS- I still have no power in my art room!

Ha ha ha ha. Yip it has gotten a bit chilly. But it seems as your corners are starting to warm up mine is chilling down.[emoji6]
The room does have a multi-dimensional property that we do not quite understand fully yet. For example have you noticed how the jellyfish are run on battery power, are living beings, and yet are somehow made out of edible jelly all at the same time? At first I thought it was some sort of leprechaun sorcery but as I have learned here in the CDR nothing is as it seems. It took a lot of time and effort I spent hours studying and then the lab dissecting one of the jellyfish. I have come to the conclusion they are multi-dimensional beings that somehow got trapped in this convergence of Dimensions we called the cold dark room. The ceiling has not been found because I believe there is no ceiling. As you proceed upward you just cross through an Infiniti of cross dimensional Rifts and in one of those threats the home of the dreaded wolf spider could exist. That is assuming that the wolf spider herself does exist. I still have much research to do and I may still be being fooled by a combination of leprechaun and wolf spider trickery it is hard to say has the results and data seem to shift and change for one time you look at them to another but I have faith that one day the truth will be known.

Omw. Poor chickens. They must have been living in fear and stressed if it was going to be their time everytime you called them.
Will their names were not prophetic fortunately for them LOL.

I also had a chicken named Lazarus and his name was given to him because I killed him or at least I thought I did any come back to life. You say one day I was going to have to feed the chickens and this particularly honoree big black rooster decided to flog me. So I grabbed the first thing at hand and used it to try to bet the chicken away. That was a piece of a 2 by 4 that I hit the chicken Square in the head with by accident. He flopped to the ground tossed once or twice and layed completely still. So I understandably thought I had killed him, threw him on the back of the truck and down at the bottom of Spivey decided to toss him into the creek. Then a couple days later as my dad is coming home he told me there was a big black rooster walking around down at the mouth of Spivey that look just like mine. I thought this could not be but when I went down there, in shock I found that the chicken I had killed through in the back of my truck and then tossed into the creek was walking around just like nothing had ever happened. So we caught him and I brought him back home. He was maybe just a little off after that but for the most part he seemed quite himself. So we decided to name him Lazarus the chicken that God raised from the dead.
