COLD DARK ROOM

“Super Bowl Update”

Ok. This is about it for this “super bowl.” This piece of mahogany has been turned, stained, waxed and now buffed out. I placed it up on our hallway pedestal and took two pix, but wifey thinks we can place it better to capture “the look.”

So, in the interim, here are two quick pix.

It is truly beautiful. You have an amazing talent. I’d buy it

 

[EllieMay]

It’s gorgeous!!

Try using a white background to make it pop like a light box if your going to sell stuff online. They are cheap.

Smart idea ...You have a marketing talent!

Calendar photo I think. Shelly is gorgeous.

Thanks!
I was thinking that too [emoji851]

 

[AZtortMom]

Wow....looking great!

Thanks [emoji1]

How clever. You’re obviously a man of letters.

It's all Greek to me!

Yes. Great idea. This was a first time up from the basement area snap. Light boxes are great!

They are pretty. Are they tortoise safe?

No I don't believe they are.
In fact I'm sure I've read somewhere that anything that grows from bulbs is toxic to torts.

Happy Hump Day

What a beautiful smile.

Trust me they will blend in with the chickens and the geese and ducks.

Yea I agree. I can listen and go back to sleep happy. They're as funny as the little belching bird that looks like a creature.

Yeah, too bad really.

• All parts of the Crocus (including the corms) are toxic in varying degrees and should be avoided. The true Crocus (Crocus spp.) can cause stomach upset and vomiting, while the Autumn Crocus (Colchicum autumnale) is highly toxic and should be avoided at all costs. See Autumn Crocus.

• N.B. The true Crocus has 3 stamens and 1 style with 3 stigmas, whereas Colchicum autumnale has 6 stamens and 3 styles.

She's found a lovely, sunny but sheltered spot there.
I hope Lola will venture outside more this year when it gets warmer.

I don't know what a Betta fish is yet (I'll google it) but hope he makes a quick recovery!

A Chinese fighting fish.
He seems better today. Thanks

 

[Lyn W]

Only 15 mins of Weds left here, but hope everyone has had a good day so far.
I've had a few visitors today and lots of phone calls from friends, so a busy day for me.
A nice change from the monotony of my usual days at the moment.
It's been a day of cravings too....a bacon butty being one of them and chocolate, which I've not had for weeks, the other.
My nephew is coming to do some shopping for me tomorrow, so guess what's at the top of my list?

Wow they are beautiful. What colour is yours?
Glad he has perked up.

I’m so confused... it’s back breaking ... but you love it??? I’m asking because my grout is horrible and I need to do something... so should I look for what you have or look for something different??? I just have 16” tile but it’s pitted.. the grout just looks gross though...

Mine has the long handle but you still have to bend over a bit and it stiffens.
It took like 2 hours to do my kitchen.

My floor does look better but not as good I thought it would be.

If you get a steamer make sure it has a long handle and attachments.

I have a Vax steamer which I bought when Lola moved in so that I don't have to use any cleaning chemicals in or near his room.
It is pretty good too and can also be used as a handheld steamer for tiles, windows and other surfaces too.

 

[Lyn W]

I'll say goodnight now and will try to pop in earlier tomorrow.
So take care and see you soon.

What a beautiful smile.

She knows it too [emoji4]

Me too [emoji851]
Give Lola a shell rub for me [emoji173]️[emoji217]

Very good!
I had a blue betta too.
He lived about a year, but he was in pretty rough shape when I got him
