COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good one, Lyn.

Oli has done the same with me, I can assure you.

They're not the dumb animals we assume they are!!
It's all a pretence and I think one day they will take over the world!!!

I suppose it ensures the emergency services aren't over-stretched.
I think our A&E departments in the hospitals become even busier with snow and ice accidents.

Correct. Not ready, not equipped, you name it, which is too bad.

brrrrr is all I can say. ​

Oh yep. Torts - I believe - are much more intelligent than we think they are. I never imagined Oli would behave like this when it comes to hand feeding him. Someone once told me that when he gets hungry he'll definitely eat alone. However, he just will not.

It seems that you are going to one day, Lola!

 

[Lyn W]

Time for me to say goodnight now, Gillian.
It has been lovely 'speaking' to you and hopefully not see you back here tomorrow.
Love to Oli, take care and have a good Wednesday.
Nos Da!

Pleasure was mine, Lyn. Good night, sleep well and sweet dreams to you and Lola.

Hope to not "talk" to you tomorrow.

I finally used a sos pad and scrubbed under my fake nails. I think it helped!!
I had to use my other hand to drink my coffee.

I think the fig is coming today!!![emoji3]

My kids start school tomorrow so we have a few supplies to buy. Hopefully it will get here before soccer and I’ll plant it!

Lol!!! I know that sucked...
I shipped it 2 day air... so hopefully!! I will be so excited if you get those cuttings to root & grow!

I think I’ve got all my supplies done... the new addition had me scrambling! I got him enrolled this morning and everyone starts Monday . Smile & breathe!!

Hi Ed. Nice not to see you around.

I made Ratatouille for lunch today. First time either of use have had it. My husband took a bite out of it and then looked at me with this puzzled expression. Him- "You didn't use cheese?"
Me- "did I need to? Do you not like it?"
Him- "It's really good but I'm just surprised you didn't use cheese. You put cheese on just about everything."
Me- "So you think I use to much cheese in my cooking.. so therefore you have an issue with my cooking?"
Him- "I didn't say that! I love your cooking! Your the greatest cook! ..... O... I just got baited, didn't I?"
Me- (with a big satisfied grin) "Yep."

Just can't help it. I grew up with this fear, and could not get rid of it till this moment.

Did you have a bad experience as a child, Gillian?

Good evening all. It has been very hot (circa 34C) today in Uzès, but luckily we were up in the mountains where it was cooler. Even tonight, it is still 28C at 10pm!

The scenery was spectacular - I just love the Causses which are plateaus at 1000m (over 3300ft) which are farmed with arable crops.

We head to this area to see vultures (we don’t get them in the UK) and we weren’t disappointed. Gryphon vultures were particularly numerous.

What does she need so many for? Gecko Tyres?
Gorgeous postcards, Linda!

Great idea!.....but, Mrs Sully doesnt listen very well especially when food is involved..!

“Mrs” Sully? I thought Sully was a boy, Sultan, or is that some old news that I missed?

As an ecologist, catching lizards (or slow-worms or snakes) for research or to move them from a building site is part of her job. She doesn’t keep them; doing so would be illegal.

She only caught the gecko to show how it’s done

You have seen some of the furries she works with - dormice and bats - but they also handle badgers, water voles, otters...

We both loved it!

It tastes even better on day 2 - sometimes I serve it with pasta instead of as a vegetable with meat.

O goody, we have leftovers!
I served it on some rice with a "sunny side up" egg as the protein. My daughter was more excited about the egg than the Ratatouille[emoji57]
