COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Haha it's for the border of my rugosa rose beds. As well as some raised veggie beds.

Rugosa.
An example from my collection .

So, I submitted a photo to a competition a month ago or so, and I’m a runner-up. The runner-up gets nothing. The winner gets good cash. I guess I should still be proud...

Proud but broke.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thank you, Linda. I may have shared it before. Here it is, followed by the winners in each of the two categories:

I’ve decided to be proud.
Time to go fetch daughter from the art school. Thank goodness I have three kids for short periods only.

Talent, talent and more talent.
Than you can shake a winter stick at!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Okay I have seen it now and still think you won. At least in my books you did.

I have seen it too, and am of the firm opinion that i should have won.

What are never pills ? How do they work ?

They tell you all the possible side-effects and tell you to take two, three times a day. You say,
'Never!'

Less than 6,000 posts to go!

Good morning! Our sun is not up yet.. should be lighting up the sky in about 45 min. Supper tonight is a bacon wrapped stuffed pork loin! Baked for tenderness then charred on the grill.. honorable supper for hubbys homecoming!!!

Niiiice! I want to eat at your house!

 

[Kristoff]

Coffee with my pal George.. we meet every morning early and start the day before the rest of the house wakes

How many critters did you have?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nope I dont go into the sea. There could be sharks in there.

I promise you, there are sharks in the sea.

Good morninoonening all!
Off to buy a potato later, but some catching up for a bit!
But first, for @Lyn W and Linda and anyone else who remembers our old friend and Roommate Kirsty Johnson, now Kirsty Honeyman (remember the Scottish wedding?) I have some news to reveal.
She was very worried for a while about skin cancer but finally got the all clear and then became pregnant.
With twins.
About 6 weeks ago they arrived! Notice the tortoise outfits, she still has Beastie, of course.

I don't know much about babies and am not particularly fond of them, but I think they're gorgeous.
Here they are grown somewhat, 6 weeks later which was yesterday!

I think I haven’t met Kirsty (would have remembered a big, fat Scottish wedding!), but those twins are gorgeous! [emoji7]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I know but do they come into shallow water ?

Some do.
Some live in and prefer shallow water.

 

[Kristoff]

This is what I meant by the Lena's daughter bit.

Thank you for clarifying that. My daughter is good news most of the time, but I was still confused. Hope she’ll follow in wifey’s footsteps and marry a smart guy in the end.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You will need a suit of armor but please don`t drown wearing it when you try to swim ....

 

[Kristoff]

Coming soon![emoji6]

Yaaaaay! We love your girls, Bea!!! [emoji173]️

 

[Kristoff]

Oh Wow!
How beautiful are they??
I think Kirsty had just married when I last saw her in the CDR.
I'm sure I remember her posting some wedding pics!
Congratulations @kirsty Johnston and hubby on the arrival of your twins, - they are gorgeous!!!
Sorry to hear about your cancer scare, Kirsty, hope that is all OK now,
but how wonderful for you to have twins - 2 for the price of 1!!!
Thank you @Tidgy's Dad for posting that news!!!

2 for the price of 1??? “Double the trouble” might be more accurate!

Well done, Dan!

 

[Kristoff]

NO!!!!! Even for a million bucks! Not dead, please! (Adam's new avatar)

Surely he meant to emphasize the “wanted” part. Men are so vain!

 

[Kristoff]

They've got nothing worth plundering over there

Hope you’re not considering crossing to the Other Side, Your Majesty... Are you still Your Majesty?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

The best thing to do is to use the report function. I have reported Dan’s last post and asked them to have a chat with him about what he wants removed

?

 

[Kristoff]

Phew - it's hard work catching up - Adam must be exhausted.
Good morning/afternoon everyone.
I have a lodger - Simba the Pomeranian - my sister is trying to persuade me to have.
He's been very excited at the sight of Lola but not been allowed anywhere near him.
He really is a lovely little pooch - house trained and listens to commands etc., but I am worried about putting Lola at risk when he does venture out into the garden. So I don't think I can keep him.
Hope everyone is having a good Thursday.
Simba and I are off for a walk and hopefully will find some dandies sprouting after our recent rain.
See you all later

He looked so cute in the pictures! Doubt a cute little thing like that could be a deterrence for the criminals next door. You need an Anatolian shepherd. They’re scary, loyal, territorial. “My” street dog was part that — wouldn’t let a stranger or an unknown car pass by without a formidable bark. And her knew that my torts and my cat (when he managed to escape outside) were part of the family, so he’d run away from them, not to fall into temptation.
