[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]Substitute for me?
You mean I'm like the Pirate and Carol the Leprechaun?
This stops now.
Thank you Adam.Three weeks late but :
Happy Birthday, Carol!
[emoji8]I like your Dragon too!
It's a lovely profile pic.
Hmm. We dont have that one here. Sounds very yummy.
Oh I did not realise. Congratulations Adam and thsnk you for providing a place of fun. Happy Anniversary CDR.How odd.
No mention of England's loss to Belgium in the Third place play off.
Virtually no mention of the final.
Congratulations to France.
(a little grudgingly) .
England's future looks bright.
Also , no one seemed to notice or celebrate the three year Roomiversary!
Three years of the Cold Dark Room!
Thanks everyone for making it such a very special community of very special people.
The personnel may change a bit over the years, but the heart, kindness and silly fun of the place remains always intact.
Bless you all.
How awesome. Fantastic.Well, the comments seem to have just petered out, rather.
But thank you, carol for organizing the World Cup thingy, it was great fun.
And congratulations to Todd for being so good at his predictions to win the thing.
I operated a thread over on the Fossil Forum with a person representing each country in the competition and getting points for the results, predictions and games and quizzes and questions about football, fossils and even a few on tortoises.
I had thirty two players, one representing each country, a mix of males and females from about twenty countries with an age range from teenage to late sixties. Much more cosmopolitan than the real world cup! Lots of other people joined in too!
It received 4.658 posts and was viewed 41,622 times, the biggest thread in Fossil Forum history!
Here is the Tidgy emoji they made for me.
And :
Great, hey?
I would love to have bin day everyday.Bin day here is every day.
Rubbish taken away by two donkeys with paniers, one of whom wears a tie!
Moroccans are horrified when I tell them the developed world only has a once weekly collection of rubbish, or less on a bank holiday week.
If our bin collectors would pick up the mess it would not be a problem. But they refuse to, so it stays behind and you must clean it up yourself and sit with it for another week.Here, some of the bergies make quite a mess too. So do cats and the dogs that are let out at night to scavenge. But the bins are put out after 7pm every night (I put mine out at 2 am and) the mess is gone by the morning. These people take things for recycling, use what they can and sell what they can. I sometimes put out little no longer needed items that I know they can sell for a little extra money.
Yes! We can buy them on the stalk here. I fed the tops to Joe
Still a cap.Twas fun!
Nice to see I got the final cap, but it was too little, too late!
Beautiful. What is the green light from?
No, sorry - maybe one is marigold and maybe one is zinnia????? I'm so happy to know you've placed them on little Lilly's area. You'll love it when they bloom for Lilly.
So nice of them to send you those fossils.
Very beautiful.
Aawww so sweet.And a card the first lady sent me with a drawing of Tidgy and me by her daughter,

I find the psychology of children very interesting, though i know nothing about them (except they're loud and expensive) The sky is white and the clouds are blue and there seems to be grass growing above the sky.
Oh dear.Oh, Lyn!
I should have come over and sorted them out years back!
Animals.
Still my lot have been stealing my post, including notes saying parcels are waiting to be collected.
This has resulted in a package from an American Museum being returned to America and costing the museum an extra $100 on top of what they paid to post me the specimens to study for them in the first place. The Museum guy is really angry with me.
Looks lovely. And your poor son.[emoji23]Good morning all. We had a lovely day together yesterday and the weather was a little cooler than it has been, thank goodness. Sleeping was far more comfortable last night.
This is our hut

There’s a bedroom on the top floor, a bedroom and shower room on the middle floor where the balcony is and a small kitchen/sitting room and a toilet on the ground floor.
The ceilings are a little low for anyone over 6ft

I planted some brussel sprout seeds this year. They are not very big since they got chewed up by slugs(I thought they were dead). If they get big enough to produce sprouts I'll take pictures!
