COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good Mornooning All,

I have been busy the whole morning, so did not get a chance to pop in at all. I am also in a lot less pain today than I was yesterday and on the weekend. The whole weekend and yesterday has been very very cold, and my back was in so much pain. It quite frankly felt like I had just had my back op all over again. But I have been using alot of heat, taking my pain tablets and today is not as cold, so I feel alot better. I just cannot bend down very well and or lift my left leg very high. As much as I love winter, my back no longer does. But what can one do, other than to follow the advise of good friends, the doctors and take it one day at a time.
As far as the WC2018 is concerned I actually got 1.5 points for Belgiums game yesterday. I think that we will be getting some snow soon because of that.

I hope all are having a good Tuesday. We are half way through the day....so it's almost Wednesday. Have a good one.

Google told me it's from ice hockey...

I don't think we have much ice hockey here.! So that word was a new one on me too. I actually thought it was predictive text who changed the word.

Aagh yes. With the Stanley Cup just finished and the Washington CAPS winning... lots of ice hockey in the news.

Your back is lucky you live in a mild climate. Winter will be over soon!

Thank goodness for that. I have wanted to move to the UK. But don't think that is an option anymore.[emoji3]

Hey gang. Shouldnt the Swed vs Switz WC game be going live now? For some reason, our Station doesnt have it on... :-(

Did a bunch of early morning chores, weeding, watering, cut some grass so i could relax a bit and watch!

Yes Superbru is showing it as being live. Is it perhaps not on another channel?

It’s live here. I’m just not watching it. I’m watching tennis until I have to go out to run a couple of errands before my meeting.

I am just hoping I don’t miss too much of the England match. The meeting was scheduled a year ago, so the timing is unfortunate.

Daughter has had moans from the 3 lads she scheduled for bat surveys this evening. The schedules were done a month ago, nobody wants to swap with them and apparently listening to the second half on the car radio as they head to the survey site isn’t the same.... awwww!

.....found it. 25 mins in...but still nil nil.

Hot, hot, and HUMID here on the East Coast again. Feels like temps coupled with the RH is in the 105F range or above. Had our hose and sprinkler out hydrating squash, tomatoes, bananas, and a nice induced rain over Sully. Usually during the hot days he sleeps away in his house....but I tempted him out with fresh Rose of Sharon.

Here are a few pix, post a few more on my on-going thread and some in the gallery.

He is very naughty indeed!

I wonder what happened to him out in the open that he hates it so much...

I think torts do have excellent memory. Before her hibernation, my Elsa was super sociable, following me around like a dog. When she woke up, she was completely different, and I think that’s because she got dozens of tiny ticks (nymphs) before hibernation and I hurt her a few times when I tried to get them out. :/

He was found in a field and his left rear foot is missing, so whether that is from an attack, accident or just a deformity he hatched with I'll never know but makes you wonder if that is why he doesn't like the great outdoors!

Sully is gorgeous. And so big.

Good evening all. I haven't watched as much tennis as I would have liked, but I did do the ironing and have my new next door neighbour round for a cuppa. She seems very nice, a bit older than me, and I think we'll be getting on fine

I also waded through most of the paperwork for a governor meeting tomorrow evening. I hope it runs to time; I should be back for the second half of the England match.

I bet there's a lot of them regretting picking that date for a meeting - it will be rushed through - unless the chair person doesn't like footy!

Oh shame. It most certainly does make one wonder.
