COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

I know, the weekend is dangerously close!
Daughter's off school today as she might be getting sick, so you could say my weekend has started already!

Hope she is feeling better soon - not good timing to be ill over the weekend!

Here is my new little Russian Tortoise. My daughter is giving him a bath.

He is beautiful and looks such a little character.
My tort loves his warm soaks as you can see from my avatar. He stretches out and relaxes and will stay put for ages as long as I keep his water warm.

 

[Lyn W]

Hello my friends. I am alive !
The leg is still hurting and I can`t work but I am doing better.
I am missing you all. I will try to use my laptop to pop in here. Sitting on a chair in front of my PC hurts too much in my leg.

We are all thinking of you and missing you too, Bee.
Pop in when you can!

 

[Lyn W]

Yes, it has knocked me out you can say.
But I have another bad new: This evening I had the VET here at home to euthanize my little baby "Monty". He is a cat and I have raised him with my own hands 13 years ago. But now he was too sick. I had to let him go. It was peaceful, calm and easy for him but I am devasteted. I am very, very sad. He was always special to me because he still behaves like a cat baby when he was adult. Now he is lying next to me on the sofa and tomorrow I must burry him. I am sad but glad it is over. He isn`t suffering any longer. Now I am the one who suffers because he is dead.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this Bee, it is a terrible decision to make, but as Monty was suffering you have done the kindest thing possible for him even though it breaks your heart. I feel very sad for you and thinking of you,

 

[Lyn W]

True, but I saw it differently: I used to walk to the library and back, rather than sitting 24 hours a day on the blessed net.

Technology has made us sooooooo lazy, and we don't move unless necessary. This, on the long run, is anything but healthy.

Very true and it can be quite isolating for people too.
It is especially a shame for older people who may not use computers or smart phones.

He's the spitting image of your Monty, with the exception of his big, fat tom-cat cheeks.

The likeness to Monty is incredible!

 

[Lyn W]

You'll find out as it happens... ish. Today's adventures will be posted tomorrow as I have now been awake for 22 hours and I must sleep

Goodnight all.

Hope you are now fully rested and ready to enjoy NY!

 

[Lyn W]

Good Morning all
On the way to work we saw this. Which means that some poor person is not having a good Friday at all.

Happy Friday All. View attachment 256652View attachment 256653

Oh dear - hope any injuries weren't too bad.

 

[Lyn W]

I love watching lightning through the window. It could be quite striking!

Me too, there was a storm the last time I cooked and my hob was hit - luckily it was just a flash in the pan!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning all. My phone is low on battery so this has to be quick

Yesterday we went to The Morgan Library - as in JP Morgan the early 20th century investment banker

Stunning!

 

[Lyn W]

Very beautiful. So sad that they have to lock all those books up behind bars. I wonder what they did? Must have been serious to warrant that kind of security.

They must be murder and mystery books too!

Christmas is around the corner here. The Christmas lights are out, to light up our dark nights.

What a pretty town!

*looks around, brushes dust off shell from all the traveling*
What’s happening tort peeps? I heard you missed me [emoji217][emoji851]

Hi Noel good to not see in the CDR!
Hope all is well with you and the torts.

 

[Lyn W]

My Monty had respiration difficulties. Taking him to the VET would have caused him pain and fear.
That was why the VET came home to me. For my old dogs my VET would do the same--- when the time for my old dogs comes.

It is far less stressful them.
My family have always done the same with their pets.
I was pretty upset once when my brother in law took my late Mum's dog to the vet to be euthanised because he had a kidney problem and didn't even stay with him. The poor dog must have been pretty scared in his past moments.

 

[Lyn W]

Wasn't it Frank Sinatra?

.........or was it Gene Kelly?

 

[Lyn W]

Aren't they cute?

Well, this fool was blaming me for having chosen a tort as a pet, knowing that it could get v cold, it could snow and so on, here.I.E: the climate is not the ideal one for cold blooded animals.

.....well in that case most of the world shouldn't have torts!
As long as they are kept warm with their lamps there is no problem.
I do sometimes wish Lola was a hibernating tort when my bills come in though!

 

[Lyn W]

I am going to say Good night all and until the morn. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.

Night Night Carol, sleep well!

 

[Lyn W]

.........or was it Gene Kelly?

.......after reading on I see the singer has already been established - so ignore this!

 

[Lyn W]

Hi everyone!
Finally caught up with you all and your busy lives!
I only missed a day but there's been a lot going on in here.
I hope you all have a great weekend wherever in the world you may be, I'm sure I'll not see you at some point.
Until then take care and Nos Da!

 

[AZtortMom]

You need to come back in the morning because everyone is getting ready for bed!

Hi Mom [emoji4]
