COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

All gorgeous pictures, Mark! Thanks for sharing!

Good night, roommates! Might have to take daughter to the zoo tomorrow. It’s getting hard dealing with that monkey on my own at home...

We actually don't have any zoo's here anymore as far as I know. So please share pictures.

P.S. Had a word from Adam today. I have a feeling, if we ask him nicely, he might be back very soon. [emoji173]️
Now I’m also wondering about our other missing roommates, for instance @AZtortMom. I think a lot about you and your *tiiiiiny* babies, Noel, especially because my TORTOISE gift is quite prominent in my living room [emoji23][emoji173]️

Yes I know. I have been reduced to reading the posts from the beginning just to get the feeling that he is here. It is about time he came back. And started adding his unique sense of humour to the mix again. Besides I need some points. CHEESE.

Here have some. Maybe add some to some crackers. That should hopefully get Adam cracking and coming back.

Goodnight sleep well,
Not long 'til the weekend!!!

Thank goodness.

Thanks Lena.
The policeman asked me if it would make things worse for me if they turned up at the house and I said it couldn't really get any worse, so you are right.
If they do become abusive and threatening I'll just call the police again.
It will all be on record now, so I doubt they will make things worse for themselves.
The worse they could do is ring the council about my tree which I have gradually been reducing the height of - heat permitting - and to be honest if they turned up I'd be happy to show them all the fly tipping the neighbours have done over the years and the fact they are draining washing machine water into a soak away instead of a sewer etc etc. They would have a lot more to answer for than me!

Good Luck Lyn, It sounds like you have a WAR on your hands. I really really hope that they stop their nonsense and can become decent neighbours. Failing that I hope that they decide to move somewhere else instead.

Almost Friday! I reading y’all but I can’t slow down long enough to tell you anything good.

Love the new avatar!

 

[CarolM]

I’m such a visual person!
Could everyone post a pic of themselves? I hate trying to imagine what you look like. I thought it would be fun!!
Here’s me.

Here is me the only girl.

Edit. P.S the girl in the back round is WHAT I would like my silhouette to look like though.

Okay I seem to have caught up now. Top of the Mornin te ya.

It has started off with some rain, but although it is still overcast, it is not currently raining right now. I hope it does, as we need it still.

Sooooooo glad it is Friday.



Last night I decided to cut up some lawn and put it into the torts enclosure. As the small bark that I had put in when I did their substrate change was very messy and kept on making their water bowls very dirty. The little tubs they had to sleep in, they also kept on moving around and or knocking them over, So I put new tubs in on their sides and put the grass around them and over the tubs. It has consequently created little hills and a slope in their enclosure. But I want to see if they enjoy it more and am of the opinion that it will help with their exercise. Get them to strengthen their leg muscles a little bit. If they don't like it very much, then next weekend I will take it out. So we will see. Hopefully my babies will enjoy thier little world just a little bit more. We will see.

That is me for now, and only have another 7 hours to fill before I can go home. Hope you all have a fantastic Friday. Until later or the next 5 minutes, depends on which one comes first.

How is everyone doing today?

How is everyone doing today?

All I am saying is:

 

[rjamesbeasley]

Isn't it strange, well it is for me as a Briton, to hear about coyotes and gophers from our American friends? Also you guys say lawn and we say garden. Language is fun

How is everyone doing today?

Trying my hardest not to melt on a day forecast to be the hottest ever recorded in the UK. Errands run early... now to do as little as possible in the shade with the big fan running at full blast

Seems like the only sensible thing to do...

 

[rjamesbeasley]

How old do you think I am guys?

 

[JoesMum]

How old do you think I am guys?

Younger than my kids in all probability!

I think you got a picture of me on a Christmas card! Here’s a refresher

 

[rjamesbeasley]

Younger than my kids in all probability!

How old are your children?

 

[JoesMum]

How old are your children?

Grown up and left home! The youngest is 22

My guess is entirely based on the premise that people who ask this question are usually very young or very old. The rest of us don’t care

Fair enough, pretty accurate guess

We say garden here in SA and lawn refers to the grass portion of the garden. Coyotes = Wild Dogs? and gophers would probably be moles (or at least that would be the closest we would have to it I think).

Don't forget about the nice big pitcher of iced tea and a good book to go with that.
