COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Have fun with the ironing. Good night Lyn.

'Fun' and 'ironing' aren't 2 words that I would put together but it is a necessary evil and has to be done,
I try to buy clothes that don't need ironing - especially blouses and shirts.
Thanks anyway Bee and hope you slept well.

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

The water from the pump house in Bath is sulfurous too.....yuck!
Do you feel any benefit from taking the waters, Linda?

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.

Only one Woman's Day? That's a bit unfair when the other 364 are Men's Days!!
Sorry your boys are ill. I hope it doesn't last too long and they are all feeling better soon.

Thank you Lena,
I am actually fine, My eldest refuses to take medication to help. Which I suppose is not a bad thing as his own immune system will get stronger. The youngest seems to be on the mend. Hubby however acts like he is dying. Refuses to medication unless I personally stand there hand it to him and give him something to drink it down with. However he still goes to work. And then when at home uses it as an excuse. I long ago decided I am not nurse material and that it drives me up the wall. Just take the medication (on your own) and get on with life. Okay rant over.

(Most) men are such martyrs, Carol!
Hope they don't pass the flu on to you!

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

Have a lovely time.
It's great catching up with family.

I saw an ad last night that said there's going to be a female doctor who.

Yup, she appeared at the end of the Christmas episode and her first season begins soon.
The wonderful Jodie Whittaker.
A whole generation of little girls will have their own hero and Doctor to cosplay.
I think it's a terrific move.

Ähemmm ..... I am ashamed but you are right. You hit the nail right on the top.
You are the one and only man who is allowed to steal my ( beauty ) sleep..... Ähemmm...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You know me. I’m an angel!

Yes, of course!
I never meant to insinuate anything else.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Leave it till it's dark then you can have a night on the tiles!

Wish I had.
I hurt mt back, got overheated and have slept for twelve hours.
Golly.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

....well we all know who the culprit is now!!!

Ed?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

First save of the year.

Wifey and I made an early morning trip to our local HomeDepot to check on wood for our deck. (Next project). On the way over, right there sat in the middle was a nice box turtle. A quick stop and we placed him in the nice wooded, very wet culvert.

Traveled the same route home and no sign. I’m hoping he’s off to a safer area.

Nice save!

Me too! I like to use the wrinkle free setting on the dryer. Good morning Lyn!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Seriously?

Yup, I told the story to my friend Limfudel who is something of a big shot in local government and he was beside himself with rage. He's s good Muslim himself (or at least thinks he is) and builds mosques for remote countryside communities.
He took me along to the Tourist Police and he practically ordered them to act.
I had to go with a guy from the police and Limfudel to point the guy out. He wasn't there the first day, but we went back three days later and he was.
We then left.
I later heard that the shop was closed.
I don't now anymore than that and it's wise not to ask.

Hello roommates! Just finished major cleaning, including floor scrubbing. Our landlord is stopping by tomorrow. It’s a superhot day in Denmark. +32 C in Roskilde and up to +38 C in the south, and lots of dust blowing into my windows. (So much for my dusting efforts [emoji849]) The prohibition on lighting fires, even on your own property, is still in place. Nanny state, but bless them. Would be happy to borrow a bit of Mark’s rain.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Tie a scrubbing brush to each knee and one in each hand. Then crawl around the room. That should do the trick.

I might as well.
I can do little except crawl about the place at the moment.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Tell me if this a good or bad idea.
I have this 7ft long coroplast I used for our guinea pigs.

I don’t need it and I was going to cut it for the trash.

Then, I was thinking about turning it into a garden bed for tort food!!
Will it work? I’m assuming I would need drainage holes.

Should work fine, I think.
But yes, you need to drill a few drainage holes in it.
Good idea.
I hate things going to waste.

Get well soon, Adam! [emoji173]️
