COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Huhhh, it is really quiet here. I think all are busy.
Planting plants, kayaking, watching athletics ..... and so on.
Enjoy all your Sunday,
Here goes a little "thunderstorm" with rain down. Torts are outside.... hmmmm. I think they are clean now.
Every raindrop is very welcome. The earth is so dry and plants are thirsty.
The thunder outside rumbles. I hope torts have no fear in thunderstorms
These are the news from my little corner of the world.

Happy rainy Sunday:

Congratulations on the rain Mark and Sabine!

It is SO humid here - most unpleasant - no rain is forecast though

We had an excellent afternoon of athletics and are heading home on the train now.

British Wheelchair racer Kare Adenegan smashed the world record for Women’s 100m, British T38 runner Sophie Hahn broke the 200m world record. It’s so pleasing to see disability sport getting equal prominence at an athletics meeting

The British men’s 4x100m team won with the fastest time in the world this year... good news with the European Championship starting in a couple of weeks

A photo of the hockey taken by JoesDad last night


And the T38 200m today


And British multiple gold medal winning long-jumper Greg Rutherford saying goodbye as he is retiring... and pursuing his son intent on getting to the sand in the long jump pit

Can you find the bad kitty?
He was trying to get in the attic again it we closed it up.

Some bugs are beautiful, others not. I prefer these ones:

Oh me too.

 

[CarolM]

Good luck with your little trees that they soon thrive and grow.
Your tortoise enclosure is beautiful. I am sure your babies are happy to live there. Your a wonderful tort mommy.

Thank you Bee. You are so sweet.

Which kid wouldn't want to go to the long jump pit. It is a giant kiddy sand pit to play in. [emoji3]

I was a horse owner too and I love these animals. I have the "horse virus" since I was a child.
I am gladly looking forward for your pics. It is so interesting to see pics from people all around the world, showing how beautiful our planet is. There are so many wonderful places to live.

This is my April, a non-colored appaloosa/thoroughbred (her dam was retired off the race track). I had to have her euthanised a couple summers ago due to health problems in her old age.

This picture made me laugh out loud. Silly kitty. Can he get down too, or is he just a one direction kitty?

The first horse I ever owned and trained was a leopard Appaloosa. His name was Sky.
I've always had a soft spot for Appaloosas.

Happy Sunday..

Scatterred thunderstorms off and on today. Garden is soaking, not good kayaking weather with chance of severe rsin and wind so we took a drive over to Maryland’s Eastern Shore to check out some fishing and crabbing piers/parks. Stopped st Romancoke and Matopeke Parks and Piers. Nice access to the water.

On the back stopped and bought a dozen frsh MD Blue Crabs straight from the Bay.

The driving route

Me too. And besides their color, of course, they're the smartest, bestest horse in the world! I had a roan mare, a leopard mare, a black with white blanket with peacock spots and a bay with no color (we registered her as "Plain Brown Wrapper"). This was in my pre-digital camera days, so the only pictures I have are hard copies

Ever since the jaguar incident, my husband has been trying to convince me our cats are plotting against us! When one of them walks in the room he'll say, in a stage whisper, "Don't turn your back!!!"

Yeah, like they look soooooo dangerous!!!! (Monty is the grey one and Julio is ginger)

After a day of plotting, one deserves a break! [emoji76] One of my favorites about cats vs dogs (the dog vs cat diary): https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/1534447?guccounter=1

 

[Kristoff]

What be yer stance my subjects?.........

Shall we invade and conquer the "Pretend Chat 2.14" and share the spoils?

Are there still spoils to collect somewhere? We already got Yvonne.

 

[Kristoff]

Thank you! I haven’t entered it in years!! I might this year.
I get all confused about the sizing of the photo.

I can help you with that.

 

[Kristoff]

They look too innocent to be plotting against you. But maybe the meerkat is setting them up.[emoji33]

Well, Bea thought the meerkats looked cute too!

 

[JoesMum]

Cute pictures from Daughter again today. Lots of baby dormice. They were being weighed, measured and sexed before being returned to the nest.
