COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good morning! I was woken by a drill or a chainsaw — some loud thing that shouldn’t be worked at such an ungodly hour, except we live in the city center and that’s the only time there’re no people around...

Oh dear.

 

[CarolM]

I'm always conchious that not everyone likes them, but I'm shore most people in the CDR do!

I love them. Just terrible at them.[emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Lol. I found these between 5 and 6!![emoji33]

Corner 5 is between corners 3 and 10.
Corner 6 is between 7 and 8

 

[CarolM]

You with a long beard and without your glasses would fit perfectly for a knight !

No. He is more like Merlin I think.

I don’t have a problem with the royals. They do a lot of good work. I’m not one to get worked up by media celebrity frenzy though.

I think foreigners get more excited by our royals than we do... Hype just isn’t the British way. We are a reserved nation.

I get very excited by cheese.
And Doctor Who.
And fossils.
But the Royal Family, no.
But they do do a lot of good, you're right.
Though they did shoot several of my family (Sedgemoor).

I'd have to consult with Adem and unfortunately he is not here. But I believe the Doctor is currently investigating that. Hopefully we will find out if it is human soon.

They are tainted with werewolf blood.
Queen Victoria got bitten by a werewolf in Scotland.

 

[CarolM]

Honestly, I leave you lot alone in the place for a few weeks and the tone descends to this level!

Shouldn't have left us alone.

 

[CarolM]

Not me ! ! ! ! !

You are lucky.

Maybe this is just a midwest thing but, when I picked up my new Russian they tell me her name is Lucy.
OK, this just won't work for me because I have a bird named Lucy and I'm not George Foreman so I don't want two kids with the same name.
I've spend some time trying to think of a new name, nothings coming to mind that fits.
This is really the first pet that I have ever had that I need to think of a name for, most everybody has come to me second hand and named by the previous owner.
So one day I'm showing off pictures of my new found 4" friend and someone being funny asks "what's she going to be when she grows up?"
The first thing that pops out of my mouth is "Booya". I find this hilarious and think I'm pretty clever. Then the person looks at me in horror and asks if I'm really going to raise this for food? To me this is even better than what I said.
Her name is now Booya, I call her Boo.

Hello, Ed, and a very warm welcome, if considerably belated, to the Cold Dark Room.
Please pop by again so that I can get whoever's on duty, Pirate, Leprechaun, not sure who it is at the moment, to offer you a beverage of choice if we have it.
The jellyfish seem not to be working and I can't find Monty the coffee table.
Golly.
Hope Booya is doing well, pics would be nice.

 

[CarolM]

Is it a Scottish cow?

Supposed to be but can't remember anymore. Lol it was sooooo long ago.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It's okay I had chickens named dumpling, pot pie, and casserole LOL

But those were presumably very apt names!
Yuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CarolM]

The moles in Texas are very small compared to the ones here in WA. Shortly after moving up here my dogs dug up a mole that was longer than hubby's size 13 shoe(not counting it's paws). The biggest I've seen in Texas was maybe the size of my hand.
Not everything is bigger in Texas, but they tend to make up for it in tenacity! Like mosquitoes..

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmmm well that is quite an undertaking. Too complicated for me. I have yet to sample a jellyfish. I was always too scared they might sting me. But what has me really worried is now we seem to have a wolf spider as well as a wool spider who might or might not exist. The wolf spider sounds dangerous [emoji33] [emoji33]

 

[CarolM]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done, Jarrod!
(not sure about the shorts, though.)

Lol. Neither is Jarrod.[emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

Yaaay! Carol is back too! You’ve got us worried...

Really really sorry about that. Didn't mean too. After catching up i'll go sleep in the naughty corner until morning. [emoji17] [emoji17]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And Arthur is after Arthur Dent of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame?

Arthur Daley.
A favourite of the Queen's.

 

[CarolM]

It’s never a good sign when you start missing yourself...

Tomorrow, April 28 here in the US, is hubby and my 17th wedding anniversary!! We've both been very busy, especially him, so I went ahead and made reservations at my favorite restaurant for tomorrow night. To be fair, he likes that restaurant a lot too. He has SEVERAL favorite restaurants, so this works. I also bought him a new bow tie that he'lll get as a surprise tomorrow night (He only wears bow ties and has a lot of fun with them.)
I wasn't expecting anything from him because he's been so busy- AND he'll be very busy tomorrow during the day- so I was happily surprised today when he brought me THESE:

Lovely flowers!
Happy belated anniversary, Bea.

 

[CarolM]

Everyone noted your slight absence. Hope all is well.

All good now thank you. Was very grumpy last week so retreated into a fantasy book to get my head back into a less grumpy mood.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

But with your investigation skills surely we can get closer to the truth. You could be the CDR's very own Moulder!!!!

That would be Mulder.
Though, actually, in the Cold Dark Room..............................
