COLD DARK ROOM

I may never catch up!

I got to Mum’s no problem, arriving just after lunch

A few pictures of Pavilion Gardens in Buxton which were crammed with tourists, wet children and dogs (they’d been in the river)

Buxton is a Spa Town. At the start of the 20th century people used to come here to drink the spring water for their health. The water is from a volcanic source and is warm like that in Bath; the Romans came here too, but maybe not so many as Buxton is at a higher altitude and further north and much colder

The water is bottled and widely sold in the UK... or you can bring your own bottle and fill up from the well head where water pours out continuously.

Makes ya wanna go noodling huh! Crazy people shoving their arms off in underwater holes..

Lol! You know it ... Brandy

Yes, generally not a good idea to spend the working day with ones boss chatting in the Cold Dark Room.
Hope you get along with him/her and have a good day.
Not see you later!

I have a great boss. I think he comes to work with me to get some peace time. I may fill his shoes after retirement if he will hold out till my son is a bit older.. I work for a global company called Erik’s. I am an account manager for East Tx, North La, and S Ar.. I have been in the same line of work for almost 12 yrs now so my only complaints are the heavy days when I spend 8 hrs driving for 4 hrs of work.. I really have it made though and never miss an event for my children as I do my own scheduling. Just a small insight into my world

Hmmm.
Probably not enough, I guess.
You could buy a decent place for 20,000, or 10,000 for a small apartment.
50 Euros a week would be a comfy life, you'd earn interest, so you'd be okay for a fair time, but not a life of luxury.
If you taught German as well, you'd be fine!

I couldn`t live with 50.000 Euros long in Morocco because I would spend all my money to build a sanctuary for stray cats and dogs to spay and to neuter them and treat them when they are sick.
I could not live with sick and abused animals around me without helping them. So I would be poor within a few years or rather months.

 

[Bee62]

Almost as good as mine are!

Of course ! My big Leo ( the tortoise in the pic ) says the same.

Thank you for every insight you want to give to us.

Well nighty night all. Until the new day rises. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.

You too.

 

[Bee62]

Goodnight Lena, sleep well!

Good night Lyn and Lena and Carol.

 

[Bee62]

Time for me to go too - I have ironing to do before bedtime.
Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday, it will all be downhill to the weekend again after tomorrow.
Hope Wednesday is good to you.
Nos Da.

Have fun with the ironing. Good night Lyn.

A lovely park and I saw a pavillion ! Have you tasted some spring water ? Edward looks very tidy and busy. I bet the children love "him".

I drink the water all the time. I had just refilled my bottle when I took that photo.

Mum, like many of the residents, takes bottles down to there to get water to use at home. Her tap water tastes just fine; I think she just likes the idea of getting it straight from the well

I spent my teenage years in Harrogate, which is also a spa town. More recently Harrogate water is also sold in bottles and is very good, but there isn’t a public source like this and the famous spring at the pump room is sulfurous tastes and smells like rotten eggs!

I have a bad spa town habit come to think of it. Before Harrogate we lived near Bath and I currently live 4 miles from Tunbridge Wells

Good morning all. Happy Wednesday. Mum and I are going to see my sister today

That is a lovely place. It will be a bit expensive for me to come and fill my water bottles with water.
So glad you arrives safely. How is your back feeling at the moment? I hope it survived the long drive. Enjoy your time with your Mom.

Sounds like an awesome job.

That's not bad ... it is called a good excuse.

My back is fine. I went out for a half hour walk to loosen up not long after I got here. My shoulder is a little sore from gear changes, but is recovering

That is good news about your back. Well done on looking after it so well. Rest your shoulder well. And enjoy your time with your family. I love family time.

Good Morning All,
The sun is shining, tomorrow is a public holiday for us here in Cape Town. Woman's day. Yayyy Work is busy. My boys are all down with flu. So besides the flu issue life is currently good. I hope you all have a wonderful and fun filled Wednesday.

That sounds good!

Work is busy.

At least you know they need you!

My boys are all down with flu.

Hmmm. Men having flu for Women’s Day? [emoji848]Sounds suspicious to me! [emoji6][emoji1]

So besides the flu issue life is currently good. I hope you all have a wonderful and fun filled Wednesday.

Have a great Wednesday Carol... and stay away from the sick men in your life!
