COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

I've gone the past couple days without coffee, although I had some carbonated caffeine yesterday. Hot coffee just doesn't sound as appealing when you feel way too warm. Going to remedy the lack of coffee soon...

Man, you got it bad!!

On a brighter note, I'm sharing camellia pictures. These are actually from mid-January.

I don't know that I'm any more lucid (or less foggy) AFTER coffee...

Nice....our Snowdrops survived the dropping snow from Wednesday. They probably enjoyed the increased wetness. Id say they are peaking about now.

Thanks for letting us hear from you! Praying for you!

Me too.

My nephew is still working on ships as an engineer, so his job takes him all over the world to join his ship. He is hoping to eventually get a job with a company that would only be an internal flight away. His fiance is an events organiser in Vegas and seems to be doing pretty well.
I've not seen either of them in cowboy hats yet - but give it time!!

They'll be wearing at least sun hats. Vegas is bright and sunny in the daytime and cold at night. At least when I was there.

Not sure about the weather outside today, but my head is foggy. Worse than yesterday, in that regard. Other parts of me may be feeling better, as long as I don't try to breathe too deep or blow my nose too hard!

Oh what a shame. Sorry to hear that.
You need to be taking it easy for a while yet.
So put your feet up and do as little as your animals allow.

Quiet and Dark in the Room. Here’s a quick Super Bowl update. Finished up sanding right through 400 grit with a final overall buffing with 00000 steel wool. Tested Danish Walnut Oil vs Minwax American Chestnut on a piece of scrap wood and we voted on the chestnut and rubbed in one coat here for you all to see.

I’ll let this dry now for a few hours, give it another very light steel wool buffing, and a second staining, maybe even a third. Probably finish this all off with some food grade beeswax, another buffing shine and then be done.

So here we are, American Chestnut (first application) 8”x8”x3” Bowl

They are beautiful aren't they?
I have a red camellia tree in my garden but the flowers don't last long.

I love it. MUCH better than what's on TV!

That would look lovely on my table!

Mine too! Although it might have a cat testing out the fit, before long...

Our bearded dragon tells me I need to hang out on the couch for a while, so he can continue to hang out on me.

Ogh, you must be referring to the large Elephant Ear plants coming up there on the right...

Good evening all.
Visitors didn't stay long they were all off on a brewery tour and then going to watch the rugby in a pub.
I didn't go as didn't fancy the rowdy crowd and there were no guarantees I'd get a seat but I will see them all tomorrow anyway.
I watched the match at home and I'm pleased to say that after a rocky start Wales beat England 21 -13!!

Don't think my table would be big enough for them!

Awwwww.... that makes me sad. Abstaining from coffee means pretty low in my book!!! Feel better soon Anne!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Then we build a larger table, no problem!

For dessert, they decided on Chocolate pie. I haven’t made one in years but it doesn’t look too bad. Even the Cow slobber rose to the occasion!!!
