Well I am going home a little early today, picking up Jarrod, and then going to shops for supper and sorting out my babies etc. So not chat until later.
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad

Deal!mmmm, That does look yummy too. Now I can't decide which one I want. maybe I order the one, you order the other and then we cut it in half and share?

I've limited my soda intake, so I usually order iced tea or just have water. You?
Whoopeee. I am going to the Red Robin for lunch. Now we just got to decide on a date. Chat later and can decide on a date then.
If I am going out for lunch with a friend then I have fun. And treat myself to something nice. probably hot chocolate or a milkshake or cappacino depending on the weather.

It's always something with us huh..You and hubby are quite on a mission -- to avert disasters left and right... I'm thinking about the recent electrical wiring discovery
let me see if I can summarise for you, and hopefully I don't miss anybody.:
Bambam.
Has bought a tractor, hubby has lots of projects on the go. Clunkers enclosure is still waiting to be done, almost had a disaster with a tree falling on her peach trees that she just planted but hubby came to the rescue.
Lena
Daughter did very well with her singing, they went to a festival (Viking) on the weekend and Lena has been finding lots of cool stuff geocaching.
Linda
Was on holiday in Scotland, while she was away Mr B went missing and Mrs B was only able to keep one chick alive. Her back was doing much better. Not so much her shoulder and she has to go see some specialists to see what needs to be done going forward. She went to a govenors meeting last night and it took so long that she was in lots of pain last night. But seems to be better today - somewhat anyway. She has put her son to work in her garden while he is waiting for his exam results to come out. And he has now finished at university.
Lyn.
Lola is still causing her lots of worrying. He eats a little bit everyday, enjoys the time outside he gets when he can, the vet was not able to do another x-ray last week as Lola kept on pulling his legs back in. Lyn is possibly looking at getting a different vet to give her some help. As this one takes so long and hasn't found out what the problem is yet. Lyn rides a bicycle to fields looking for nice foodies for Lola, but yesterday had to go farther a field, as her normal field did not have what she was looking for.
Dan, had a minor stroke just before he went on vacation. They said it was a blood clot but are not sure why he had one. He is now on vacation in Florida, he went swimming in the sea for about 30 minutes and had a dolphin swimming about 10-12' from him. He took a picture of a nice Hat that he is looking at getting and wearing (that is if he can get it to shrink to fit his head) He seems to be doing much better at the moment and is enjoying his much deserved holiday. Oh and was supposed to go to the aqarium today. We are waiting for the pics.
Mark took some very nice photos of jets for a navy day that was going on, he was of course on his kayak when he took the photos, as they get a better view that way (I imagine it is because it is less crowded on the water than it is on land - and he likes kayaking of course)
Laura popped in and said that she was doing well.
Kathy is busy with re-doing her fireplace which was a smallish job and has now turned into a big job, as there has been other projects in the house that has now been added to the list that needs to be done. Her son and his teacher seem to be over the cheating thing and it does not actually seem like he was cheating except if starting early is cheating. Anyway we all hope that he has learned that you cannot start early on tests and that he must wait for the teacher to say START.
Bea - is still busy with her floors - I think they are done, but now it is the spring cleaning that is taking over as they are moving things around and clearing out clutter that they no longer want.
Adam is still working on his fossils and will pop in again a couple of million years or so, so that he can examine all of us in fossil form that is.
And now that we are getting some rain here in Cape Town, I am finding all sorts of weeds popping up that I am finding in the field. I am digging them all up and planting them in my garden so that my torts will have some nice gourmet food. And I am waiting for a very special card from Lena with some Denmark Dandelion seeds for my babies. Oh and it seems that Jacques is somehow or other gotten Rue roped into doing Tort Lake, as I have seen Rue practicing her balley moves.
I really hope that I haven't left anybody out. I am sure that if I have they won't hold it against me and will fill you in.
Wow. An impressive summary!
I am sorry to hear and see what happend to Fam. Bluet-it.
I have been always following their story without answering but it is interesting for me too.
The last of these three pictures makes me dreaming... of a lonely island with fresh water and a lot of different fruits to eat and a wonderful beach....Thanks everyone. I made it down here safe and sound everything's good.
It has been raining and come one pretty heavy downpour but it didn't last long. So hopefully it won't be too bad.
I did make it down to the beach and I was alone LOL.View attachment 239409View attachment 239410View attachment 239411
I always say: Let a man have an old car or tractor to work on. That`ll be much more better than going in a tavern .....Did he buy it as a new project?
Who is the handsome young guy on the one pic ?
Do you know that you are luckily too young for me, or I am too old for you and you are too far away from me..... LOL !
Take it as a very kind joke Dan.
Sunsets and sundowns on a beach are always beautiful.At least I felt good enough to get to watch the sun set. That is one of the things I wanted to do.
Who had said that museums should be beautiful ???? The inside and the expositions are the things that count.

You making me blush [emoji4] . Thank you.
I am glad that your physio went well. I hope you are better soon. Drag your son in the garden and tie him down where he should do the work.Good morning all.
Physio went well yesterday. I am better, but the session showed I am far from fixed. A referral to an orthopaedic specialist is now inevitable for my shoulder problems. I’m still hopeful of avoiding the neurologist for my lower back.
I have someone in to clean my house today. My back has made proper housework too difficult so paying someone to do a thorough job is an investment.
Son has completed all his university work and is home, although we still need to retrieve his stuff from Bristol. He has an anxious wait for results now.
I shall be dragging him out in the garden shortly and directing him in various things that need doing! He’s very amenable, so there shouldn’t be too many protests.
I have a governor meeting tonight, so I must get my head round the paperwork... I have read it through once, but need to do so again.
Not speak later
With a lot of food and water in his reach it should work.
Sooo. When do you want to go to lunch?
Hump Day?? Don't let my husband see that. He might take it the wrong way and get happy!!
Congrats ! That is a fine tortoise food plant. It is this one:Oh Okay, I seem to have caught up. I never know when I am on my computer, as the order of the threads etc, always get jumbled up.
I think that somehow or other Rue has gotten in contact with Jacques, as she seems to be doing alot of Balley moves lately. Notice her back legs..

I think she is practicing for Tort lake.
Today is overcast again and windy. Hopefully we get some rain to go with that. I went last night searching in the field for some weeds and found some Dandelion plants and plantain. I dug them up and replanted them in my garden. Hopfully they take and start growing. So far any dandelion plants I have found and tried transplanting haven't taken, So I am hoping these ones do take. And if all else fails then I have some seeds coming my way as a back up. Even if it turns out that I don't need them as a back up, I am of the opinion that you cannot have too many of them. As summer is a long time. I also bought some Asian plantain seeds and Plantain (Plantago major) to sow into my garden. as well as evening primrose and medicinal coneflower (Echinacea species)
Am I correct and this is Plantain but the thin leaf one?

Anyway that is my news for now. Hoping you all are having a good day today so far.
