COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

No, "ladies" don't sweat, they glow!

Nope, that's me.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

The area was packed with tourists from all over the world!!
My daughter had no idea San Diego was this beautiful!!

You walk out on the sea wall and the waves crash up.

People and sea lions sharing their beach.
Beautiful.

Here’s a friend’s video. She snorkels here about 2x a week. Now all 3 of her kids go too.

Just incredible!
I would love to do this!

Hi roommates! We found our last two of the “six forgotten giants” today. It involved an 11-km hike and of course I did a bit of geocaching along the way. Amazing, after hiking in Canada, how few insects are trying to eat you and few plants are trying to poison you in Denmark!
“Hill Top Trine”, a geocache, and some art work nearby.

“Sleeping Louis”, “Hill Top Trine”, and more local art work:

For those who may not know/remember, the Six Forgotten Giants were created by a Danish artist out of scrap wood and placed in woods or nature parks around Copenhagen for people to explore the outdoors.

I think it's a lovely idea!

It is SO very dry here! I filled our wading pool up for my daughter and the dogs to play in and while I was filling it up a snake slithered right up and wanted a drink, I let the hose run on the ground and it took a big drink from a puddle.
I've also got a praying mantis living by my kitchen door. I noticed her yesterday and gave her a spritz of water from a spray bottle. This morning she was back and was hanging on my thermometer by the door, when she spotted me, started waving her arms around. I went and got the bottle and my phone.. she was thirsty but a bit nervous about the phone getting close.

Lovely, we get them here as well, anything from a few mm to about 8 inches long, I reckon.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !
Finally caught up !
I wish all my roommates a lovely, happy Sunday.
Today it is a little bit cooler outside ( 25 C ) and torts are out again. When it was so hot I kept them indoors. I have fear they could overheat in the sun. Now shelled big babies playing outside. Look:

Luv luv luv them babies!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yeah, me to, I didn't want to have to send a prize to anyone else.

Ah, and I've finally caught up with myself!
Just 1,700 posts since I returned, but a lot of them are me.
Be with you all soon!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

WELCOME HOME, ADAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!!


@Tidgy's Dad

Thank you, Mooz, it's delightful to be back!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Wonder who will win? Any guesses?

Japan?

 

[CarolM]

Is that what Brussel sprouts look like. Never actually looked at a Brussels sprout plant.

2B or not 2B — that is the question.
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

What? Do you need a pencil?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Adam!!!!! About flipping time too!!!!

I hope you have managed to get all your work out of the way and that all is well with you, wifey, Tidgy and SPLAT

My work will never be done, but I'm where I want to be for now.
wifey's good, Tidgy's great, SPLAT, well, I hope wherever it is, it's healthy and happy, but I doubt it.
Hi, Linda, sorry about your shoulder, but golly you've been getting about a bit!
Lovely postcards as always!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Don’t you just? [emoji849][emoji23]

Yup!
Sad is the New Happy.

 

[Kristoff]

Please ask her to pop in occasionally!
I hope she comes back for my birthday and more importantly for the TORTOISE.

Yep! Loved the TORTOISE present from her. [emoji217] And we even used the bag it was sent in as Santa’s sack for bringing gifts to daughter’s class. Now I use it for storing Christmas decorations. Very multipurpose!

 

[CarolM]

Like that ?

Something like that. Lena's picture was a better representation of what i ment though.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Who’s this stranger Adam?

Welcome back!!!!

Thank you, Kathy, it's good to be back.
Lovely to see you popping in so often.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No moles here, but we have ground squirrels, which are worse!


YEA!!!! Our fearless leader is back!!!!!


We don't like it when you sulk. Of course, it is the leader's prerogative, but we still don't like it!

So, you've been sulking over my sulking!

Hi Carol, some stores here sell brussels on stalks - usually near Christmas time.
They look strange when we are used to seeing them already bagged up or in boxes to weigh our own.
I took a stem of them into school once to show the kids and they were amazed.
One lad even thought I had stuck them on the stem
- as if I have nothing better to do with my time.

@Yvonne G
Hello Yvonne. I hope you have a nice Sunday. See how your seeds of love have grown to plants of love.
Now I put them out of the pot and on the grave of my little Lilly cat.
Thank you for that nice gift ( the seeds ). Can you tell me what plants I have ? Do you know them ?

Beautiful!
I’m a little embarrassed to say, I re-gifted mine, because I’m no good with plants, especially indoors with no garden. (Back in Turkey, things would grow in spite of my gardening attempts.) But...I re-gifted those seeds to a very important person whom I love. Hope that’s OK.

 

[Kristoff]

That's because you lived near a nuclear power station for so long.

Hope you had a blast!! ... or not... Intricacies of the English language...
