COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

We do have several designated parks within a few hours. One of our favorites is Muddy Bottoms in Sarepta La. it has great amenities for people like us with kids and a camper.. it is extremely dangerous due to all the young uns & alcohol so we rarely ride at night. We get away from the crowds to be safe and the kids are belted in with us.. we find ourselves going less n less though due to everyone else’s behavior. We never ride outside the parks though because the machines are VERY destructive! With fun comes responsibility

We could do with some designated areas here for people to have fun.
Riders with quads have torn up and scarred the mountains around us - it is quite a problem in some areas.

I keep saying o/a 70 pounds, but now I’m thinking more. It’s quite the lift to get him into th carrying box, then upstairs to our tub. He long ago stopped fitting in our sink, and the feed tub as well.

What about using an inflatable paddling pool that you can position him on in his enclosure, inflate then fill?

Hope everyone has had or is still having a good Sunday.
Last day of 2018 tomorrow - where did that year go in such a hurry?
My nephew is coming to welcome in the New Year with me as he has no where else to go, but thankfully no real cooking involved.
I will just be sticking a frozen pizza in the oven with some frozen potato wedges.
Does anyone have any exciting plans for tomorrow night?

Good morning Lyn, sorry to know that you caught a cold.Wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks Gillian, it's just running its course I'm sure it will go soon.
Hope you are well.

Hope you are well.

We are fine, thanks, Lyn, despite the extremely cold weather and rain. Temperature has dropped to only -5 degrees C during the day. Moreover, we have been cautioned not to move from home unless necessary. (This usually takes place during heatwaves, but not when it's raining or when it's cold).

Have a great time with your nephew.

Personally, I do not have any plans for tonight.

Outside, maybe. All it would take is a puncture and we’d have a nasty water mess... for now, back breaking is easier.

No plans here. I'll be sawing logs at midnight!

It's quite mild here and dry at the moment.
Maybe they are worried about people slipping on ice
I would not find it easy to live in Amman with the temperatures and being told not to go out.

Maybe you could instal a lift / elevator for Mr Sully.

Hi Lyn. The older you get the faster runs the time. But why ??

 

[Bee62]

I have no plan for the last day of the year. I have to work but I am at home and together with my critters. That is good.

 

[Lyn W]

Thanks Gillian, it will be a quiet night, he's not very chatty and I eventually run out of questions to ask him.
Auld lang syne at midnight will be a solo by me, but I do make him get up and cross hands with me.

Please take care if you go anywhere, be it by car or by foot.

I totally understand you: when living in Europe (or the USA) one can move around whenever one likes. Here, we have to very strict laws. Don't forget, this is part of the "third world" and if the government didn't impose such regulations you'd find have the population in hospitals.

That's as good a time as any I suppose.

Hi Bee, hope you have had a peaceful Xmas.
There is a theory about time speeding up as you get older but I can't remember what it is - I will try to find it.

You never know. A conversation might begin and then go on and on. Good luck!

Yes, there is a lot to be said for having a quiet night in your own home with the people and things you love.
Sadly there are many around the world who won't be able to do that.
I wish you a happy and healthy 2019!

My Christmas was on the 24.
The other days I was working.
Time is speeding up when we are older because we are getting slower ..... That`s my theory.

Doubtful - conversations are not his strong point - he is strictly a 'one word answer' man - e.g yes, no, fine, ok, sure
I think I may dig some games out, that will pass the time.
