COLD DARK ROOM

[AZtortMom]

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

Good night [emoji851]

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?

Bacon butty?

 

[Momof4]

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

That blue is beautiful!!
Here’s Gerald.

“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.

Beautiful. I just want to know. Wasn't the middle of the wood a red color and the outside a white? It would have been nice to see the contrast between the two.

 

[CarolM]

You are correct... I already did a mental checklist and could swing it pretty quick if I needed.... I’m trying to hold out until hubby gets tired of hearing me comment about it.. Our anniversary IS coming up [emoji6]

Good plan. It will be a gift which keeps on giving. [emoji3]

 

[CarolM]

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.

Good to know.

He is sooooo pretty.

Was a quick catch up. But now it is time to go into the office and work. Not see you all later.

Oh! That’s what it is! I totally see it now.

I bought a steamer to clean my grout and it’s back breaking!!
I loved the flooring we chose at the time, but now I hate it! It’s never clean because it’s natural stone so there are pits everywhere!!
I love the steamer though!!
I need to try it in other parts of the house.

I guess heating is not such a big issue where you are. To me a stone floor sounds brr! cold. What about one of those robot vacuums?

Very nice. I still see nuts and raisins in it, to go with a beverage of your choice. [emoji6]

“What did your husband get you for your anniversary?” — “A new tort.” Awww! That’s love. [emoji173]️

 

[Kristoff]

It's all Greek to me!

Have a lovely day, Carol! The last day of summer for you... [emoji33] Hope it wasn’t as hot and dry as last year...

I think you are remembering the Cedar Tree log that I picked up and cut into logs to do something with. Yes, those have rather a red inside with pale outer edges.

This bowl was made from Mahogany that started like this


I have yet to make anything from the cedar logs

Baaaaaaaad on you, no more moo’s today!

 

[Kristoff]

Baaaaaaaad on you, no more moo’s today!

Oh, you’ve made me feel very sheepish now. I promise to be a lamb from now on.

Don’t be chickening out now. Not a peep.
