Already? Wow! I have very little faith in PostNord, but it seems they were able to get those cards out of Scandinavia quickly enough!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!
They let you know?We have always grown them in pots. I love them because they always let you know when they need water. [emoji23] [emoji3]
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!
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?
That answered my question for Mark, thank you.
I've never heard of a spurtle before.
I wonder if they are eatable?Love those mushrooms!
Totally. I read their body language. The leaves start to droop when they need water and perk right back up again when they have enough.They let you know?![]()
Whahaha. Monday has to get some love from somebody, because it ain't getting any from me.Good mornooning, roommates! Kid shipped off to school, friend coming over for coffee. I just LOVE Mondays! (Yes, @CarolM, I’m looking in the direction of your corner. As best as I can orient myself in the dark.) [emoji13][emoji8]
Oooh, I liked Fantastic beasts. Is it the second one?Good morning all. Glorious pictures from Mark again... he is lucky to live in an area just perfect for being outdoors in.
I’m a bit stiff after yesterday’s leaf-clearing session. I need to take care of my back today. I have been for my swim and that was fine, it’s the bending and stretching that’s going to be a risk.
So now I have laundry to do and Lasting Power of Attorney to research for my Mum. LPA is where someone can be appointed to take care of a person’s affairs in the event they lose their mental function. Mum isn’t getting any younger and these things have to be set up and registered before someone loses their marbles; you can then enact it if you need to later on... hopefully never. If you don’t do it beforehand, you have to go to court and it’s an expensive process; it’s much better to do it now and Mum wants us to sort it out.
We’ll end our day back at the cinema - Fantastic Beasts![]()
How far are the fires from where you`re living ? Fires are so terrible. I feel sorry for the people and animals too.The valley I live in has a smokey pall over the whole area. The sun is quite feeble. No wind or rain in the near future, so we're stuck with the smoke. I feel so sorry for all the lives and homes lost. What a terrible thing - fire. Not much is said about all the animals lost. Can you imagine the large hooved creatures? Most people can evacuate with their dogs, cats, birds - but what about their horses and goats, etc. I know this sounds selfish, but I really need to make a fire in my wood stove to warm up the house. I have two Vision Cages full of baby tortoises, and when the house is cold the thin walls of those cages don't allow for the heaters inside to warm them up enough. But I hate to add to the poor air quality by making a fire. The wood stove is the only way for me to heat my house. I'll put it off for another day, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to make a fire tomorrow.
Good Morning all.
It is my least favorite day of the week and I need to go into the office to start work. So I will not see you all later. Until then have an awesome Monday.[emoji16]

For the most part, I stopped watching the news several years ago. I find I've been happier that way. That isn't to say that I don't have some awareness of what's going on... I'd just rather pick and choose what topics to explore for more detail, and when to do so. The heart-wrenching stories I tend to put off for a little while, until I'm mentally better prepared to read the details.How far are the fires from where you`re living ? Fires are so terrible.
