Good mornooning, roommates!
Gorgeous pictures from Mark and Linda — thank you, guys!
I’m with you all on the question of touching slugs. :eek: 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? :eek: :D
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. :rolleyes: :D

Annndd it is done!!!! I have caught up to myself.
Glad to see some new faces visiting us. Hopefully you stay for a while. That is if we don't scare you away with our crazy talk and whatnot. Saturday has finally arrived. Thank goodness. As I need the break.
I don't plan to do anything today other than relax and read a nice book. Tomorrow is laundry day again and it is my turn. But at least today is mine. I'll leave you with a chuckle and not see you later IMG-20180822-WA0001.jpeg

Oh dear. That is always the problem. My parents moved towns practically every 5 years when I was growing up.

I was the same - we moved three times before I was 11 then my mother dug her heels in and we stayed put while I was at grammar school.

Just to add to the confusion, the school system was changed in one area while we were there meaning that I managed to attend 5 different primary schools: All-through Primary at one location; Infant, Junior then Middle at second, Junior for just two out of three terms at third.

Do you ever take some of your pictures and frame them for your wall. Some of them would look stunning blown up, framed and mounted on a wall.

Yes....but i have a ton. Have one where a Norwegian (i think) tall ship was visiting the port of Baltimore. We paddled out to see it...but aldo met up with Baltimores Tall Ship the Pride of Baltimore... i was out near as it fired off it’s cannons. All captured on photo. And one on the Potomoc River where the Lincoln Memorisl and the Washington Monument are in background with me right in foreground.

Chores can be fun...like planting seeds for your mr torty :) Last Tuesday, i planted some Tortoise Supply seeds right before our rains. Sprinkled them daily since then and today I see lots of new lil plants popping up all over. Yeah. Supposed to get back up into low 90s later this week. As long as they don’t dry out, I’m hoping the push up a lot of new growth.

Have fun.

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
Hi Linda, I read that the running variety will spread, but it's in massive pots to contain it, so it won't spread too far and can be easily divided.
It's not too close to the boundary either so as not too inflame the situation, just positioned for screening.
