COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Yes. I had to take a painkiller for this now. [emoji17] As it was turning into a migraine. But it's okay as it wasn't the strong painkiller.

Every now and again even superheroes need extra help. You’re doing great!

 

[Kristoff]

Good night, roommates!

 

[Gillian M]

Hi Gillian! Nice to not-see you back!

Good evening. Nice not to see you too!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Snakes are cute!
Especially hognoses[emoji216]

Early snake, with legs.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

....or from when they had straw/hay filled mattresses. Must have been quite prickly!

I've slept on them, they are!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Does anyone know where John is these days and Kirsty?
Some of our Scottish contingent is missing.
And what about Spuds Mum? (this may be an important exam year for her, so she could be concentrating on her school work)

I expect you're up to date with the latest on John by now, and Spud's mum has not been about since very early in the year, I think.
I have been in touch with Kirsty and she is very well, I have more news of her, but must check to see if it's okay to share.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Kirsty Johnson is also from Scotland, she used to pop in occasionally but maybe not for a long long time if you don't know her.
I will try to email John I think I still have his email address.

I tried, I believe Ed tried, but he doesn't reply.

I thought the saying is: You can`t see the forest through the trees.....

I think it's something like, 'You can't seed the wood forty trees."

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Mornooning roommates. I must get ready for my appointment with the osteopath. So not chat later. Just want to wish everyone an awesome saturday.

Is it Saturday again already?
Wow, how the days fly by.
It'll be Sunday in 5 minutes, I should think.

 

[EllieMay]

Was the zoo keeper astonished about the knowledge of a little boy ?

He was! And maybe a little offended.. but it was a proud mom moment for me!

 

[EllieMay]

Is that a toy spider?

Idk.. but it sure looks like a wool spider to me [emoji23]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

....meanwhile the UK is basking in glorious sunshine - for a change. Although I must admit I do like it cooler and even happy with wet weekends because it means my awful neighbours stay indoors!

That's really sad.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh no! I expect HRH ordered it specially.
I'm glad it was nice for all the people who camped out and were out for hours lining the route and any street parties.
It was all very low key in my area, not many window displays or parties.
I did put the tv on for a while to see the dress (which was very simple and she looked beautiful - as all brides do - but I can't stand the drivel that all the presenters come out with.

They don't all look beautiful.
I went to a wedding where the bride went for the hippy look, it was terrible.
Then there are some blancmanges and meringues that weren't so clever.
Here in Fes, they're massively overly made-up and the bride has to wear 7 outfits, some of which are great, some okay and one a sort of sofa.

That is not good at all.

It's a lesson for us all:
eat less + be more active = weight loss

The only food he will actually feed himself is romaine leaves, everything else he waits until I offer it - even if I have been out for hours.
And even more incredibly - if I offer food with my right hand he will eat it, offer it with my left hand - turns his nose up!!

For an animal with such a small brain he is making a lot of choices !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Of course. I’m not really a whisky fan, but it was OK

?

 

[Lyn W]

Look who I ran into this morning!!!

....and I would have run straight back out again!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

As he is the 'spare to the heir' Harry's wedding didn't have to be so formal.
Fair play to him though he does do a lot of good work.

Blimey!
There's been more wedding coverage in the Cold Dark Room than I saw on BBC News!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Who is Bardot?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It certainly seems so. This was for me a Cinderella fairytail. I mean how many woman who are not born into royalty get to marry a Prince?

wifey, for one.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

My mistake - it was Britt Ekland who married Rod - and Peter Sellers.

Peter Sellers didn't marry Rod Stewart.
Did he?
