Then you have to come back to finish your work on the John Deere.Hello Ed.

I don`t believe that your life is boring. With torts, fish, a dog, family and old cars life can never be boring.

Had a brilliant day today. The steam train runs from Anduze to St Jean du Gard at the base of the Cevennes mountains with a stop at the Bambouseraie (Bamboo park?) on the way.

Postcards from/of the train first

Lovely scenery from the train.

And the Bambouseraie which is a large park/garden where youcan wander in the Bamboo forest with Chinese and Japanese inspired gardens dotted throughout. It was very peaceful and the bamboo forest was beautifully cool

I didn't know bamboo could grow that big!!
Maybe my neighbours will have something to complain about in a few years!

 

[Lyn W]

I'm a bit late popping in tonight, but wanted to catch up with you all before I take myself off to bed.
Hope everyone has a good weekend, I'm sure it will be gone in the blink of an eye.
I'll not see you tomorrow.
Take care and Nos Da

Beautiful pics everyone! I am reading just don’t have time to stay long.. all is well though. Everyone have a wonderful night!

 

[CarolM]

Have you tried ordering from a catalogue?

No actually I haven't.

 

[CarolM]

Good morning Carol.
Hope you have a good day and are busy enough for work time to pass quickly!!

It passed so quickly that I completely skipped friday.[emoji33] [emoji33]

 

[CarolM]

Good morning all!
The temps have dropped here but it's bright and sunny.
It's beginning to feel, as well as look, like Autumn - my favourite season!
It's a bank holiday in the UK on Monday so most people will have a nice long weekend.
I can't believe I only have a week of my holiday left.
It gets harder to go back every year!
It's my niece's birthday today so off to deliver her card and pressie.
Have a good day everyone and not see you later.

Aawwwww. Shame about only having a week left. Enjoy it.

It spreads easily. If you have planted it alongside their garden, they could well have it taking over! The shop at the Bambouseraie sold special matting for lining the trench where you plant the bamboo to reduce the risk of it spreading

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. JoesDad has left for the airport in Nimes to collect Son. Daughter and I are about to head for the market to stock up on food

 

[CarolM]

Hello my lovely roommates. I hope you all have a nice Thursday. Weekend is near !
Today is another warm and sunny day in Germany. I love this summer !
Torts are outside again as many times before. They are collecting UVB for the long German winter.

Lol. No wonder you have to keep on doing lettuce runs. Your Torts are Hungry.[emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

Haven’t had much time and I think I just caught up on the posts...
Lena, good luck with school.
Linda, I love your pics and be safe in your travels.
Carol, we are overdue to see Kang & Rue
Mark, same as Linda.. lol
Ed, my heart goes out to you. Only you knows what’s right for you and don’t doubt yourself due to other opinions.
Sabine, thanks for the compliment and luv those pics!!!
Lyn, good morning! Your a good mind reader & we think alike hope your neighbors are being have!!

I’m sure I’m skipping something but I’m working in between my TFO time

Read more later

Lol. That is the perfect catch up post well done.

 

[Kristoff]

Good mornooning, roommates!
Gorgeous pictures from Mark and Linda — thank you, guys!
I’m with you all on the question of touching slugs. But I did eat snails — and enjoyed it. (Jacques would probably give me one disdainful look for my tastes and then turn her butt on me forever [emoji23])
Ed, you’re the guy who repairs school (?) property that somebody shot. If your life is boring, what does that make mine?
Good luck to Heather, Bee, Carol and whoever else with too much work on their hands!
Kiddie birthday today. Russian festival tomorrow. Wish me luck.

 

[CarolM]

Yep[emoji4] little Jimmy and the other one, I need a name for it lolView attachment 249106View attachment 249107View attachment 249108

Oh they are gorgeous. And Welcome to the CDR.
I am sure one of the roommates has already given you the CDR welcome speech but just in case they haven't. Pull up an armadillo and I am sure that Montgomery will be around shortly with a beverage of your choice. Give the snow leopard a rub from me and don't worry she only ears carrots. So if they start disappearing from your corner it is most probably her. Watch out for Silly and Willy Bee62 is very protective over them. Poke a Jellyfish if you need some light and don't step on any hedgehogs you will hurt your feet.
Do not fall asleep in the CDR as you might just wake up with woolen underwear compliments of the woolspider (if she exists).
And please don't take any nonsense from the one legged pirate otherwise he will become unmanageable again.

 

[CarolM]

It's hard to not try to second guess his reasons. My first thought was that he felt more comfortable on the fossil forum. Has anyone had any private communication with him?

No not yet. [emoji17]

 

[CarolM]

Actually, ELSA has already volunteered to help with the drawings for TORTOISE! [emoji2]
Since Jacques lives in our house and Elsa mostly lives outside, Jacques tends to get more attention. [emoji853]

I’m glad Elsa wants to get involved, so unless someone else’s tort is really eager to do it, I would like to offer Elsa’s assistance! [emoji2][emoji173]️

Ooohh. Yay Elsa. So glad you are volunteering. Hip hip hooray.

 

[CarolM]

School shooting?
NOT HARDLY!
This morning, a John Deere recreational vehicle came in. Water pump locked up and hole in the radiator. Obviously driven for an extended period while overheating.
The operator said that he thinks someone shot a hole in the grille.

Lol. I have no clue what that means.
