Someone tested to see if the paint was dry [emoji33][emoji217]View attachment 268768
Silly tort

Joe tested our garden table for us just after we had oiled it... I never did get the stain off his shell!

 

[JoesMum]

An early start for me as we need to drop our Volvo off at the mechanic to get new brake pads fitted.

Have a wonderful Tuesday

I worked 3rd shift most my working life or 2nd shift. It's hard to break the habits.

My mom worked as an emergency doctor on call on 24-hour shifts every third day for many years. Boy, doesn't she have trouble sleeping now. Even the slightest sound wakes her up.

*pokes Yvonne*

You're naughtier than me!

 

[Kristoff]

Yeah ! Yeah !

Bee, I'm on the computer now and can see that you're in the Platinum Tortoise Club and the Tortoise Club. How do you get there? Is it some VIP lounge on an upper level of the CDR?

 

[Kristoff]

I love this one:

LOL !!!!

Run for your lives, roommates! Unless it was April Fool's joke...

Here’s a couple pictures of the progress on the house.
At first I was a little hesitant on the vintage blue, but now I’m like, I really like it. Especially since all the houses around me are the boring tan or shades of it.
Shelly even moved their ladder [emoji217][emoji38]

Not with the guy on the ladder, right???
I do like this color a lot! Did you say you want to add some white around the windows or the roof? That would look lovely.

Today my sister in law and I took my grandson to the Carlsbad Flower Fields to see the beautiful ranunculus flowers.
I lived near here has a kid and have great memories of driving by and seeing it from the freeway.
If anyone has heard of Legoland the amusement park these fields are about 2 minutes away and a few block from the beach.
It’s gorgeous and only open about a month during spring.
It’s 50 acres of rainbows!!

Two minutes away from Legoland?? Oh, not THE Legoland...


Amazing colors! Did your grandson like it there?

A "good night" song from me for y`all

Love it!

Funnily enough I saw one of my neighbours today who asked how I was after my accident and she was shocked to hear I was knocked over by a car.
Apparently the story circulating the street is that I broke my leg when I fell out of my car!
That made me laugh
I told her I would have to give up drink driving!!

It wasn't one of the nasty neighbors, right?
The jokes you Brits make! Someone might take it seriously, no?

 

[Kristoff]

Hope he gets well soon. Wish I knew you were going to IHOP. I get a discount there.

Missed this post. Ray, you're too funny!

Said face to face you can see the smile, or the hint of one, in the eyes Out of context is when things go wrong.

Beautiful! I have heard of LEGO land but I sure hope my son never does [emoji6]

It's Danish, and we haven't been yet, even though daughter has heard ALL about it from her buddies... I don't know if we can spend that amount of money just now... And I'm not looking forward to the crowds. But it must be amazing for the kids.

Thankfully without incident!
The Housing Association workers came and did a good job.
They put a sturdier fence up than usual so it should withstand strong winds and last longer.
At least now I know they can't damage my plants. or take things from my garden.

I was going to add "...and keep your neighbors out of your garden"

I have a couple distance relatives that say “pop” .. As kids, my sister and I thought that was hilarious... in my house, everything is a coke... wether it’s sprite, orange soda or Dr Pepper... if I have to buy drinks, I’m going to restock the cokes [emoji6]

To me, as a non-native speaker, "pop" sounds awful. "Soda" has several meanings, but I can live with that. I went to university in Missouri and heard both. So, is "pop" more of a northern thing? I hope they don't say "pop" over in Canada...

Have any of you seen this by Takashi Amano
It's his Forests Underwater exhibit in a 40m tank (almost 44 yards)
No fish, just plants. It's a very relaxing watch.

What's the point of an aquarium with no fish? It's even worse than having fish you cannot eat!
