COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

So pretty...maybe the geese just decided to have a drink somewhere else.

Not at our Drunken Penguin bar, I hope! [emoji33]
Sabine’s Silly and Willy, the penguins, are the only birds I could welcome in the CDR.

 

[Kristoff]

Maybe other animals like racoons live in the house too ? That could be a reason why the cats avoid it.

Nah, my theory about ghosts is still the most logical explanation.

 

[Kristoff]

No raccoons, but I know there are opossum under the house (it's up on cement piers). I use the house for storage, so because I'm in and out frequently, no wild animals go in there. For the first many years that I lived here, the cats DID use the house. There was always one or two of them sitting or laying on the window seat looking out. But not for several years now.

Any neighbors that mysteriously disappeared in that period?

 

[Kristoff]

I've been here before and happy to be here again. Hi Sabine. Is Germany cold? There's several people on tortoise forum I follow on threads and you are one of them. Thanks for your warm heart. Just curious...are u the person that started that coocoo math problem?

Were you a roommate before me and Bee? @Tidgy’s Dad doesn’t stop by very often anymore.

Did I miss something about Sabine’s “coocoo math problem”? Sounds bonkers...

Good Monday All.
Was up early. Dropped my car to have a service, but I go to the wrong place and then find out I left my phone at home. So drive all the way back home to fetch my phone so I can phone hubby to check where I was supposed to go. [emoji85] okay that gets sorted and hubby comes to pick me up after dropping Jarrod off at school (first day back and first day of grade 8 at his new high school) . We drive away from the service place and there is this funny noise coming from the front tyre. We stop and check out the tire and there is a big screw in the tire, so off we go to a tire place who can fix the puncture. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong. It must be Monday!!
Hopefully everybody else's Monday starts off better.

What a truckload of problems. Hope at least Jarrod will have a better start of the week — and the new school year! As for you, can I offer you a cab? [emoji485]

A saw a flock of cranes this morning!! They looked terribly confused, returning in the middle of Danish winter. [emoji33][emoji33]

So true! Russians hatching at the Orthodox Christmas. Maybe Lena can come up with some appropriate names

If they’re female: Vera, Nadya, Lyuba — short for Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov (Faith, Hope, Love).

Haha. No cab necessary. But I will take that wine.

I got a super beautiful card from @Pearly. Thank you, Ewa! Just in time for the Orthodox Christmas! [emoji173]️ There’s even a message in Danish inside [emoji56]

Took daughter to the doctor today. It’s a course of antibiotics and lots of ice cream for us for the week ahead.

Hopefully the antibiotics will quickly help and daughter will be back on form long before she finishes the course of treatment

@JoesMum
How awesome to catch up with a friend after so long. I would be excited too. It’s not even my old friend but I can’t wait to hear about your visit!
@CarolM
I sure hope your Monday is turning around now...your insured to be very appreciative of that glass of wine
@Kristoff
Am I right that daughter has brought the nasty strep germs home? Either way, antibiotics and sore throat are no fun. I’m sorry and hope for a speedy recovery! Wishing you lots of Warm soup!

 

[Bee62]

Thank you Sabine... they are a part of me that I couldn’t even begin to explain.

You don`t have to explain what you are feeling for your horses. I loved my two horses very much too. It was a wonderful time with them.

Hi Cathie. Germany is cold.Summer 2018 was beautiful and warm but I think it was an exception. Winters are long and cold. No weather for tropical tortoises like aldabras and sulcatas.
Thank you for following my threads. I like to have "follower" but only here on TFO but I haven`t started a coocoo math problem.
When you are warm hearted too you will fit perfectly in the CDR.

 

[Bee62]

The other 364 days and 23 hours it is probably full of them [emoji23]

Maybe it was a goose pond in the past but then hunters came and killed all the geese. Now it is a goose pond without geese...

[Bee62]

Lol. Yes it definitely should. [emoji23]

 

[Bee62]

LOL, they’re Russian Christmas babies! [emoji173]️[emoji319][emoji173]️

That is an idea: 3 eggs = 3 holy kings or 3 holy russian tort babies
