COLD DARK ROOM

I just read this on Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_fairy

Interesting that it isn't in Germany and France/Belgium have a little mouse

Little mice with pretty big teeth, one supposes!

Thought you might be. Is it in his contract that he has to take his shirt off in every episode of this series?

SNAP ! ! ! ! !

Getting ready to watch Panama vs Tunisia while cleaning.

Panama were a little unfortunate, but Tunisia's class showed in the end.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nagh... the match to watch is UK vs Belgium!

? UK?
No, just England.
The Scots will be cheering on Belgium and i am a little sad that Wales just failed to qualify.
The Kingdom is not United when it comes to sport.

Well Done Lena for taking your cap back again. And well done Linda for sneaking into second. I read that the games only begin in the knock out round[emoji12] So that means that these rounds were just the practice round. [emoji23] Having said that ( or rather copied it from the superbru chat room) May the real games begin and good luck on your picks.

I think I said on Superbru that Boris Becker said that the German's didn't bother watching til the knock out stages.
Well he's not going to see a lot of Germany is he?
Which is just as well as he's had to sell his TV to pay his taxes.

And the decision is in... Son has been awarded First Class Honours BSc in Digital Media. I am very happy, pleased and proud

He is now in Stockholm, Sweden.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to your son, Linda.
Goal ! ! ! ! ! !

@CarolM No coffee?
Better you than me, you'd literally have to pry it from my hand

Agreed!
Just going to make one now.
Would you like one?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Ya full body suit, mask, gloves, boots etc, but -20 degrees Fahrenheit is really cold regardless!

No way!
I would be dead in 20 seconds.
It's 32° C here at 1.20 am and i'm feeling chilly.
Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm a cinnamon toast crunch guy, but you can't go wrong with cocoa puffs either....

All you people talking about cereal.
Bleuch!

This is breakfast!

Geochelone atlas:
View attachment 243500
“Colossochelys atlas is regarded as possibly being the largest land living tortoise so far known,‭ ‬even bigger than the terrestrial turtle Meiolania.‭ ‬The only related reptiles bigger than‭ Colossochelys were marine turtles such as Protostega and Archelon.‭ ‬As a slow moving herbivore,‭ ‬Colossochelys would have been a target for predators of the time,‭ ‬but the large shell would have been a formidable defence against their jaws.”

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice posts !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I want to visit all of the CDR corners.

Not possible.
Corner 21 is off limits.
If we ever find it.

Good morning and happy Sunday to you all.

While we were out yesterday, daughter made a flying visit home to eat all our French cheese and then scarpered [emoji849]

Actually, she came back to Kent to go out checking dormouse nests with her license supervisor ... there were babies [emoji7]

Then went home via our fridge.

Laundry day today. I had better get the first load on.

ALL YOUR FRENCH CHEESE ! ! ! ! !
There must be harsh punishments imposed.
It's understandable, of course, but she should reap the whirlwind for that one!

I think Russia’s luck and excitement of hosting FIFA won’t hold out today. They made a good show, but I’m thinking Spain will prevail.

Ahem.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Here we are playing with kayaks, swimming, relaxing, floating

Capsizing, sinking.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Omg... and now Team ROSSIYa is ahead.....ut ogh...

And RUSSIA wins!!!

Spain never really got going this tournament after their last minute manager sacking.
Russia played okay and were cool in the penalties.
Well deserved and much more than most Russians expected.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Lol. Tell us if you see any virgin tortoises and turtles.

How can one tell?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How would I know? !!! !!!!

SNAP ! ! ! !

Son is currently at an eco lodge in Sweden. No electricity, no tap water... he’s staying for 2 nights in a charcoal burner’s hut in a forest surrounded by a lot of nature and not much else. (Apart from a mobile phone signal)

Tonight, he is the only guest and the staff leave you to your own devices to cook your food on an open fire, enjoy nature and sleep.

His hut:

He is more than capable of building an open fire and cooking on it - he was a Scout leader. Here’s his fire getting going

Just an amazing place to stay I think!

I used to love that sort of life.
Too old and infirm now, but those really were the days.
Looks great!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I've reaches July!
Just over a month to go!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Wow. Belgium pulled one out in the last mins ! 3 vs 2

Good game

Japan 2-0 up and continued attacking!
Attacking with a minute to go was stupid..
Pass the goal back to the keeper and you're still in, Belgium break and score, you're out.
Naive stuff.
But you're right, great to watch!
