COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

Probably find it on YouTube - It won't be a pretty sight!

How sick ! What has cruelty with animals to do with "sports" ? Shaking my head because I don`t understand.

Time for me to say goodnight I have to get up early to buy Lola's tort food.
Only found a few measly dandies today so need to add bulk to his nosh - not that he appreciates it!

So Nos Da and sleep well one and all.
Not see you tomorrow!

Nos da and good night Lyn.

 

[Bee62]

No.
Utterly delightful and with the voice of an Angel.
Pay attention, you are beautiful!

In Germany we have a saying: Beauty is created in the eyes of the spectator......

 

[Bee62]

Here is one from me also! *HUG*

Thank you very much Bambam.

Thinking of you Bee

Caught up for this night.
I say: Gute Nacht too.
Hope not to chat next morning again.

We try to start the calendar contest in August. I think it's not out of line for the T.O.R.T.O.I.S.E. to start then too.

Goodness!
Last year I began it a week earlier on November the 20th and that was earlier than the year before. Too late, but only by a bit.
I think we'll begin in early November this year, start promotion and fun from October!
August?
I get enough problems with itchy fingers as it is!
You know who I mean ladies.
(anyway my birthday is first!)

Good morning beautiesView attachment 241806

Never be cruel.
Always be kind.

[Tell Yvonne, yes, I'll be back long before the TORTOISE. Lots of time to get that sorted.

Nos da]

But I am not sure he is thinking of August.

NO ! ! !
He isn't!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No I'm around, I've been having some issues at my job and I haven't been able to be on the forum 24/7 like usual. Looking forward to the World Cup although I'm not sure who to root for as the United States didn't qualify!

No, but they got the 2026 World Cup though, rather than Morocco who DID qualify!

@Maro2Bear made the wildest prediction about the Russia match. I’d love to see them score more than 2—not as own goals...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

But Germany always wins (usually on penalties against England [emoji849] )

Quote from former England Captain Gary Lineker

Wanna bet?

The purple is a photo I took of the first one right after I got it. The flowers were already starting to fade.
Then the two together are the ones I'm going to try in semi hydro.

Beautiful!

 

[Bambam1989]

Beautiful!

Too bad I'm having so many issues with them. Darn orchids won't cooperate! Makes me that much more determined to grow them

I think we all underestimated how rubbish Saudi are.

5-0 to Russia

Indeed.
Though to be fair Russia were quite good.
Better than we expected.
I watched this match in the new English bar, in a hotel here, the opening day of the bar!
Quite expensive, no English beers, walls covered in American film posters and actors and a Liverpool FC badge painted in an alcove. Naff.

Less than 5,000 posts to go until i catch up with you all!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Evening all, gosh you've all been busy!
I've not had a chance to catch up yet and may not be able to this evening as just finishing off my reports.
I should have started the last of them a while ago but been chopping a bit off my weigela shrub/tree.
My nasty neighbour asked me if I would do something about the height because some of their garden is in the shade from it.
The funny thing is, they have had a 6 foot fence up for the last 15 years and just bought an enormous hanging umbrella which they have positioned behind my tree!
The shade from my tree is obviously not as good as the shade from their umbrella!
Or maybe they don't like their umbrella being in the shade
Anyway I said I would take some off as soon as it finished flowering because the bees love it ,when I usually do cut it back, but made a start on it so they can't say I've ignored them.
Well I'd better get back to work for a while - hope everyone is well and will not see you later.
Roll on the weekend!!!!!

Oh, I've missed your neighbours, Lyn!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

So I've been having some issues at my job and for a long time have not been happy there and today I QUIT, and it felt great! It was in a pretty grand fashion too. Kind of like the movies where someone's walking away and there's a huge explosion, and their too cool to look back . Hope everyone here is having a great day, and finds some serious satisfaction in something, like I did lol

Brave move.
It will work out in the end.
Being happy is more important than a ob you dislike.

Good morning all.

I have woken to the somewhat surprising news that my niece (6 months younger than daughter) has got married in Boston, MA where she and her Dad have been at a conference for the week.

My daughter spotted it on Facebook as she is friends online with Niece.

Niece’s ‘boyfriend’, who I have met, is nearer my age than hers and they weren’t engaged before they went out. I am not sure that my sister, her Mum, even knows as she’s been on holiday in the UK this week.

The fallout from this one could be ‘interesting’ to say the least.

It's like soap opera in here sometimes!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good luck with your chopping. Sounds to me like you have nasty neighbours.

Oh, yes!
