I have no idea. The outside was made out of marshmallow I think. Daughter said it tasted “so-so”. Then we told her she could have real brain (of sheep!) in Turkey.

It’s actually quite lovely with a bit of lemon juice. Yum [emoji39] [emoji23]
Lol. Very clever. And nope I won't eat brain.

Good morning all and Happy November to you.
I haven't had chance to read all your posts yet but hope you are well.
I just seem to be so busy these days with work, house and family and of course Lola is keeping me occupied.
He is starting his Greta Garbo phase again i.e he 'wants to be alone' and staying in his hide until I pull him out.
It could be something to do with the light as the clocks went back last weekend and it has been a bit grey and damp here the last few days.
Anyway I will try to catch up later, but for now Lola is going to have a soak - whether he likes it or not!!
Not see you later = hope you have a good day.

Morning All...

Got up early, loaded up the kayak, drove to my closest kayaking spot with usual good displays of Fall Foliage - but the darn park was closed until 1300 for “managed” wildlife control. :-(

So...back home. I did snap this one pix of the morning sunlight hitting the trees...

I thought you might have been very busy. Good luck with all the work.

Beautiful. What does managed wildlife control mean exactly?

I’m thinking they have either game wardens or regular hunters in the surrounding woods culling Whitetail deer. Our area is full of deer, and they have really over populated the forested lands, and farms and back yards.

The field trips must have made a bit of a dent in your pocket.

Actually no dent in the pocket at all. If the trips are part of the curriculum then they cannot, by law, be charged for in excess of the university tuition fees we had to pay.

The only cost is food. The student would have to feed themselves if on campus, so this is not unreasonable. For those from very low income families, there was access to grants to cover this.

Good afternoon all. I did drive to yoga but had a problem getting home as some idiots double parked blocking us in to our parking spaces. We were hanging round for 45 minutes until they turned up and shame-faced moved their cars [emoji35]

I would have called the police or tow truck. They should’ve gotten tickets!

Why are people so rude?
45 minutes is a lot of time to have to wait.
It's downright stupid. One of the people waiting with me was a nurse with a shift to go to. We sure made the returning drivers feel guilty. They all just looked embarrassed,got in their cars and left. They had all been together wherever they were

@Gillian Moore I know you're lurking. How are you and Oli? Is it cold yet in your part of the world?
Good evening Linda (and everyone else at CDR). Hope you are all well.

Yes Linda...I'm lurking. ;):)

Oli and I are well, thanks. But Oli gave me a hard time today: he kept struggling and fighting to get out of his enclosure today, till the moment he fell asleep. :rolleyes: I wonder why.

How are you and how's Joe's Dad and how's Joe?

Oli is stroppy teenager. He does what he pleases [emoji849] Hopefully he will grow up eventually and behave for you. He knows exactly which buttons to push to upset you! He is very naughty!

JoesDad is doing well thank you. He is enjoying being a contractor rather than employee which means he can take time off when he chooses now!

I don't see any birds. They must be that invisible species I've heard about.

They make lengths of plastic chain that you hang down just on the inside of the doorway to keep the birds from flying out the door when you go in.
This is the aviary WITH the birds in it.
I've made a system so that Kelly will be able to roll out and cut paper for the bottom. If only because newspaper looks bad.
Its construction paper.
3 by about 125 feet. $10.
