Wow. I think your collection is awesome.

 

[CarolM]

I promise you, there are sharks in the sea.

Exactly

 

[CarolM]

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.

Good plan!!

Finally a woman with power.

What mops do you guys have. I bought one that you can put in the drum and spin it to get it nice and clean again and then you spin it again and it makes it dry. Sooooo much easier on the back, as you don't have to do any bending and wringing. Works like a dream.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What mop is this ?!?! [emoji2]

 

[CarolM]

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

Yip until the 17th of August.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What is this wonder mop? I must have missed that! I wonder if you can get them here?

EDIT
I read on and found out

 

[CarolM]

?

We are none the wiser as well. But then you are in the perfect room to be kept in the dark.[emoji6]

Just for reference: This mop seems to be sold under the Vileda brand here in the UK and possibly the rest of Europe

Hi roommates! Squeezing a [emoji112] in between Adam’s catch-up posts.

We went to a nature park on the island of Amager. It’s now a borough of Copenhagen, very much up-market and residential, but was once known as the “S#*& Island” because Copenhageners used to dump their trash there.

After exploring a few trails, we headed to the beach on the other side of the island. The one that had been invaded by the algae last week. It was all clear now, so we swam, had an ice cream, and now I have a headache, which I’m fighting with the usual remedies — ibuprofen and cold gin. Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Sounds like the perfect day. Except for the headache of course. But it looks like you have got that sorted.

Welcome to the Cold Dark Room. (if really belatedly).
I'm sure someone offered you a Leprechaun or a coffee, a jellyfish to sit on and an armadillo to light your way and so on.
Hope to speak soon.
Adam. (i'm Adam, not you, obviously) .

I think we scared him away.[emoji17]

Good evening all. Today is JoesDad’s birthday and we spent it at Elmley National Nature Reserve which is on the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary.

Sheppey isn’t exactly a tourist attraction, large parts of it are politely described as a dump, but there’s a lot of undisturbed salt marsh there which is great for bird watching

Only the one photo as it isn’t very photogenic, but it gives you the idea

We walked miles in the the 30 degree heat and saw lots.

Now we are in the town of Whitstable which is famous for its oysters.

We are staying in a former fisherman’s hut right on the beach. This is view from our balcony

Sounds like you also had the perfect day. A Very Happy Birthday JoesDad.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No! Thank you for the angelic singing (no quotation marks). Do you sing somewhere — church, choir? Other people have to hear it.
I know, our roommates are so talented, in so many different ways. It’s an honor to be part of the CDR. (I just hope Adam is back soon enough because we need him too... @Tidgy’s Dad )

"we need him too"?
You mean in addition to all the talented Roommates?

Lovely. a female knight !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No, I only sing for me or my animals but when I would have more time I would like to sing in a little band on public events, but my day is not long enough for all what I want to do.
I never wanted to sing in a choir because I want to hear my single voice..... You can call me vain.....

"Vain!"

It is not safe for them to live free without supervision. They are very curious and mischievous . They have a 3 story cage for when I’m gone to work. They cannot be confined however and must be allowed out to play several hours a day. I had one years when my daughter was very small that lived to be 11 yrs old. Their average lifespan is 8-10 yrs. like tortoises, their care can be critical but is very rewarding!!

They are very sweet.
