COLD DARK ROOM

On that note how did it go Dan? @DE42

I'm not sure, but I think his picture of the highway means he's on the road to the dr. appt.

Couldn’t post the pic, it seems

What a lovely picture.

The nest is a work of art. It’s not something you appreciate from the camera. Mrs B took her time building it, but did a really good job.

That just makes it even more sad.

 

[CarolM]

The pic is lovely!

Snap!![emoji23]

Good morning/afternoon.
A drizzly Weds afternoon here, it's rained but only a trickle compared to some parts of the country.
I have just returned from lunch in a local pub with my nephew - a chance to catch up with him and see what he's up to.
I had gammon with chips and salad and now I could do with a lie down!

Lola continues to be active but eating little unless I sit in his room and hand feed him and even then he's being fussy.
The food I left for him has been walked over several times and is now spread around his room!
I think he is taking advantage of my concern!!

Anyway time for a coffee now so I'll speak to you later
TTFN

Tut tut tut Lola. Stop taking advantage of your Mama. And go eat your greens.

Lovely pics Lena!
I was watching a coot family nesting on a lake recently - mum was sitting on 5 chicks and dad was swimming around for food, passing it to mum who then gave it to the babies. They were beautiful I could have spent hours watching them.

As Yvonne liks to say...it didn't happen if there are no pics.[emoji6]

 

[CarolM]

Hello all.

Hi there!!

 

[CarolM]

I know! The other pond has coots and it’s so sweet how mom and dad feed the babies!

Again it didn't happen if there are no pics!![emoji6]

 

[CarolM]

Time to cook dinner. Pan fried redfish, a mushroom risotto, and a salad on the menu. Anyone cares to join?

Mmmmmhhmmmmm yummy. We had mash patatoe and mincemeat. Sort of an upside down cottage pie.

The next 4 hours. View attachment 240280

Are you driving? And can you drive?

 

[CarolM]

Morning everyone.
I get to go shopping for railroad ties to use for my rugosa bed. Landscape supply yards- here I come!
Hope to chat later.

Awesome. Have lots of fun.

 

[CarolM]

Sodden and stormy both sides of the Atlantic it seems

Fortunately there has been a let up today. My journey to Bristol was mostly dry. I just stopped for a break near Reading, just to the west of London, so I can have a break before tackling the M25 which is usually one big traffic jam

Oh dear. Traffic is never good.

After taking care of and feeding all the critters, I took Sterling (the most recent stray cat with FeLV) to the vet. She's not eating, has REAL bad diarrhea and is quite listless. The vet said the symptoms MAY be due to the FeLV, but could also be some sort of infection. This vet doesn't opt for extensive testing unless you want it, so I took the antibiotic route. He gave her an antibiotic injection and a cortisone injection and gave me a little bottle of antibiotic to take home. He showed me how to give her 2cc of electrolyte water every hour. Poor Sterling. She 's only a little over a year of age. It's hard to see her like this. I haven't had her very long, but I've become quite attached to her.

So, yes, I'm now just going to vegetate.

Oh poor Sterling. I hope she gets better soon.

 

[CarolM]

Good deductions Yvonne. [emoji1]

 

[CarolM]

Yep on the road.

Holly Ha. My bad. We can chat after your appoinrment then.

 

[DE42]

I'm just a passenger so it's ok.

Holly Ha. My bad. We can chat after your appoinrment then.

I'm back home. Wasn't happy with the rail ties that were available or their prices. Heard about another place that I think may have better prices but it will have to wait til tomorrow.
I've got chicken pot pie in the oven(homemade).

It’s just hard to believe the traffic jams all over anymore... really puts a damper on road trips.

Someone barbecued their van between Junctions 10 and 9, so we crawled round the M25. JoesDad made it home before us and had organised dinner, so we have now eaten and unloaded the car. Time to relax

Poor Sterling I hope the antibiotics work quickly
