COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

CLUES !!!! Your as bad as my kids ! *shaking my head*. But I must say that intelligence is possible

Nah. They’re probably as silly as all of them. But we still love them. [emoji16]

Daughter to a friend: “I already got your birthday present!”
Friend: “What is it?”
Daughter: “I can’t tell you. It’s a secret. But did you like that doll we saw last week? The one with the blue tutu?”
Friend: “Yes?”
Daughter: “I can’t tell you what I got you for your birthday.”

Good morning, roommates!

Wine-shopping done. Linda, I’m waiting for you and JoesDad later today.

I spoke too soon about “never whining” when wine-shopping. I’d totally forgotten that I would need to carry all those bottles home, in my hands, for about 3 km (1.9 miles). I almost thought I needed a drink when I made it back, but it was only 9:02 am. I guess I’ll wait for a couple of hours.

[emoji23] Those bottles are heavy!

And there's me just planning a break in and camping holiday at Aldabraman's ranch

One of his will take up your whole back garden.

 

[CarolM]

It's from the region of France we travel to most frequently, so we might learn something new

Not so much a joint decision as a no-brainer... we were together when we spotted it.

You and Lena were together?

Whahaha. Never rob a bank with children. You would never get away with it.

At least you will have company later on to share in it.

I wasn't planning on coming home again. I'll just live there in my tent

 

[CarolM]

I wasn't planning on coming home again. I'll just live there in my tent

Good Plan. I personally would rather get myself one of those mobile homes and live in that. That way I would have the comfort available and could take my lot with me too.

It's hard to climb fences with a mobile home. I had thought of that!

With a tent you would probably wake up one morning to find a few torts have moved in with you.

 

[Kristoff]

We listen a lot, too.

Huh?

 

[Kristoff]

Did the two of you plan this?

I wasn't aware

 

[Kristoff]

I have an Indotestudo Elongata, yellow head Tortoise called Turt. Two Indian Star Tortoises, Indu and Ster. Although Indu might be a Sri Lankan Star. And a little Russian Tortoise, Oleg.

I think pictures are in order here!

Yes, please! I think I'll try to remember the four names as OSTI - Oleg, Ster, Turt, Indu.

Oh stop being practical [emoji849] A girl can have dreams can't she? [emoji23]

We will film it and call the movie: Waking up with the Aldabras!!

Abra-Aldabra!

It will be a movie about tort magic. A British woman wakes up in a tent on a ranch that she saw only in her dreams. How did she get there? She soon discovers there are no other people on this ranch, and somebody has been devouring every weed in sight. What is the secret the ranch is holding? Will the protagonist ever make it back to Kent? Will she even want to?

Ooooh I like it. She had these strange red shoes on her feet and every time she walked outside her tent, these gentle giants would follow her shoes. It is almost as if they had a fascination with red shoes.
