Good Morning Everyone.

All caught up. Today is a rather dismal, cold, overcast and windy day with spatterings of rain every now and then. This is the kind of day where I could just stay in bed and either read a good book or watch movies. Sadly that is not to be, as it is off to work we must go. (well I am actually already at work but the dwarves only sang about going to work.)

I hope that you all have a good Monday. Dan let us know what is happening please? Have they got any feedback for you yet and how are you feeling now?

Linda I hope you managed to get in a late sleep to recover from the late night last night.

Lena?? Are you okay? As you have normally popped in by now already.

Lyn, good luck with Lola today and Lola please eat lots and make your mommy happy.

Bambam how is Clunkers hunger strike going? Has he caved in yet?

Anyway, I do not have too much to do today at work, so will probably be lurking in the corners and pop out into the community room every now and then. But first I think I am going to go looking for either the Leprechaun and or the One Legged Pirate (whichever one I find first, as I forget which one was fired and which wasn't) and get a nice big mug of Hot Chocolate. Maybe even a marshmallow or two.:eek::eek:.

Not chat later.
Hope your day goes well Carol.
Clunker's hunger strike lasted a whopping day.[emoji57] he just couldn't resist when I put dandelion, sow thistle and cactus in there yesterday. Nothing but crumbs now.
He will be happy when he learns that he will be going outside this afternoon.. after I mow hopefully.

Good morning all. I have been tackling the laundry mountain this morning. It seems to get enormous whenever we go away.

Like everyone else, I am anxiously awaiting news from Dan.

News from the nest is that Mr B seems to have disappeared... and so have all but one chick [emoji22]

It seems Mrs B couldn’t feed them alone

I had a nice nest of Black Phoebe under the eaves of my house. It was very interesting to watch them work at building a nest. Then they laid eggs and the next thing I knew, they were gone and the nest was destroyed. Some other species of bird, probably a mocking bird, had raided the nest.

Is it possible another bird raided your nest, and Papa was killed in the process?

Happy Monday!!

We have a drizzly chilly day here so I’m going to make a lasagna! It’s been forever because my kids don’t like it, so I guess they’ll find something else.

Yesterday I felt so bad for my husband. He spent a long time seasoning 3 racks of ribs and smoked them for 6 hours and they were so salty we couldn’t eat them. I ate 3 and it was hard to do. He never cooks and he was so disappointed.

What a shame!:(
Nature can be very cruel - lets hope the little one left makes it.

Maybe - magpies here are a pest and always raiding nests.

That sounds like my sort of cooking disaster!:rolleyes:
That is a shame though after so much effort from your hubby - I bet you were all looking forward to them.
