COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Just called the office. Well, the lady said it was canceled and they were going to call me this morning. The app was this morning. No charges!! Yay!
I better lose some weight with all this sweating. [emoji29]

Hope you're feeling better soon, Kathy.

Good morning all. I have been tackling the laundry mountain this morning. It seems to get enormous whenever we go away.

Like everyone else, I am anxiously awaiting news from Dan.

News from the nest is that Mr B seems to have disappeared... and so have all but one chick [emoji22]

It seems Mrs B couldn’t feed them alone

Very sad.
Nature is a brutal thing.

 

[Lyn W]

Okay Bedtime for me. My eyes are going blurry which means it is Good night. Sleep tight and sweet dreams to you all from me. Not chat in the morning again.

Goodnight Carol Sleep well.
Have a good Friday Eve!

 

[Lyn W]

Good night, roommates!

Goodnight Lena sleep well and Happy Friday Eve to you too!

 

[Lyn W]

Early snake, with legs.

That looks very weird!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I think I tropical storm is going to hit while I'm there.

Oh, goodness!

 

[Lyn W]

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.

No not really, but hope the news about Kirsty is as exciting as I think it may be!

 

[Lyn W]

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

No he didn't

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.

Some brides with tattoos look awful - IMHO
- but then so do the grooms with them too.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I detest ironing shirts and blouses - I used to make a live-in boyfriend do his own, which is probably why it didn't last
- he would take them home for his mother.

wifey won't do ironing, so I do it all, including hers.
I quite enjoy it, oddly.

 

[Lyn W]

Right I've caught up on today's posts so will say goodnight now.
Don't stay up too late reading Adam!!
Nos Da for now and take care.

Good mornooning, roommates!!! Missed you all.
This was a long weekend for us because of the Pentecost or something. Daughter’s singing went really well, and we ended up seeing a bit of Malmö before the concert.
The concert took place in the old Rådhus - municipal building on the Grand Square:

Then, on Sunday, we went to the Copenhagen Medieval Fair with knight tournaments, viking shows, and craft stalls.

On Monday was a school event at a large park near a castle. The nature parks association had a deer skinned next to a playground and we got to cook the meat.

We also bought some sausages and — @Tidgy’s Dad — CHEESE! *wink wink*

And today I have piles of housework waiting

Looks brilliant!
Especially that cheese!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What a lovely weekend - your daughter and her friends all look like little stars.

Ah!
Brittle stars!

That is what I was thinking. But I don't know enough about torts. Thought I would ask though. Can tortoises become depressed?

I believe so, yes.
Or a tortoise equivalent at least.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

At least I felt good enough to get to watch the sun set. That is one of the things I wanted to do.

Very glad you at least got to do that.
Hopefully, the rest of the holiday was better for you.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh Okay, I seem to have caught up. I never know when I am on my computer, as the order of the threads etc, always get jumbled up.

I think that somehow or other Rue has gotten in contact with Jacques, as she seems to be doing alot of Balley moves lately. Notice her back legs..

I think she is practicing for Tort lake.

Today is overcast again and windy. Hopefully we get some rain to go with that. I went last night searching in the field for some weeds and found some Dandelion plants and plantain. I dug them up and replanted them in my garden. Hopfully they take and start growing. So far any dandelion plants I have found and tried transplanting haven't taken, So I am hoping these ones do take. And if all else fails then I have some seeds coming my way as a back up. Even if it turns out that I don't need them as a back up, I am of the opinion that you cannot have too many of them. As summer is a long time. I also bought some Asian plantain seeds and Plantain (Plantago major) to sow into my garden. as well as evening primrose and medicinal coneflower (Echinacea species)
Am I correct and this is Plantain but the thin leaf one?

Anyway that is my news for now. Hoping you all are having a good day today so far.

So sweet!
(Rue, not the planty thing. )

7,060 messages or so read.
7,060 messages to go.
It's taken three days, but I'm about half way to meeting with you all in real time.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Did you go by yourself? If so, you're so brave. I never go anywhere by myself. I'd love to eat at a regular sit down restaurant, but won't go by myself and I have no one to go with. Won't one of you nice cold, dark roomies take pity on me and go to lunch with me?

What's the weather like, Dan? I see on the news that the eastern part of the U.S. is suffering terribly with storms.

I'd love to partake of a smidgen of luncheon with you, Yvonne.
But it's just a tad out of my way, unfortunately.
