COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

As I thought, mine have all finished flowering and they’re all in full leaf now. They have obviously had a good year - there are loads of them! This a fraction of what’s there. They’re a nice splash of autumn colour

I didn't know they were garden plants. I have one which is about 20 years old in a pot but it isn't really thriving.
Do you think it will it do better outdoors?

Back on to the carving theme, most of my carvings are still hiding in the basement waiting for Christmas decoration time. I did locate my moose, leaning pine, and a spurtle.

So not a spoon in the shape of a turtle then!
What is a spurtle used for?
I love the moose and tree!

 

[Lyn W]

Good evening Lyn and Lola.Hope you are both well.

H Gillian, All good thanks.
I think I've missed you again.
We are ships that pass in the night - or day it seems.

 

[Lyn W]

It's a porridge stirrer

That answered my question for Mark, thank you.
I've never heard of a spurtle before.

A very pretty walk.
I love walking in the autumn and have had some good walks locally this year when time has allowed.

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a good Sunday.
I had lunch with my sister and her family followed by a nice walk, and it's pretty chilly here today - which is as it should be.
I was given a lot of 40cm fencing posts today by a local Freecycle member, high enough to make a better more secure outdoor enclosure for Lola so that will be my project for the winter.
Well now I have caught up I have to leave you again.
Hope Monday is good to you and I will not see you soon.
Take care and Nos Da.

Good evening Roomies! I hope that everyone is warm and cozy around the globe. We had a huge early thanksgiving in Arkansas today for my husband and another close friend who will be headed off to work before the actual holiday. I’m just home and on the treadmill trying to make some room as I type. [emoji5].. I received my first TORTOISE CARD yesterday... all the way from Denmark... Thank you Lena!! @Kristoff I’m wishing you all a wonderful week. More updates soon.
Read ya later!

Carol he’s gone mad for some reason lol look at him

Oh dear. He does look like he is not happy. Maybe he is looking for a spot to go and hibernate. That is if his species does hibernate.

We have always grown them in pots. I love them because they always let you know when they need water. [emoji23] [emoji3]

@Gillian Moore ’s Oli is exactly the same right now. It’s driving her round the bend too!

Must be the change of season.

I really love your neck of the woods. Stunning pics as usual.

 

[CarolM]

I know it's unbelievable really!
I do cookery when I have to but I am usually on the same level as the kids.
We only do simple stuff which incorporates basic skills and equipment, following instructions /recipes, measuring etc and of course using a microwave which is my area of expertise! We also do the shopping beforehand.
Thankfully I have 2 very good TA's who are good cooks. I don't know about the kids but I have learnt quite a lot!
I may have already told you how I used to think mascarpone was something they did to horses and that blind baking was cooking blindfolded and using your other senses to tell when something was done e.g smell for burning and hearing for the smoke alarm.
Thankfully Social Skills Day is only once a fortnight and we also do things like using public transport, libraries, ordering and paying in cafes etc. so it's not too many lessons in a year!

They should. But my experience with them is also in pots.
