COLD DARK ROOM

[EllieMay]

Hmmm. I am still feeling low after my pupil behaviour panel this morning. It’s hard when you know that the child’s prospects are very low

To make matters worse, I have run out of milk which means either I get off my backside and go buy some, or my tea will be black. I like black coffee, can drink black breakfast tea, but prefer it white. I may need chocolate too... purely for comfort purposes you underrstand

Oh I do understand.. chocolate can be necessary.. VERY necessary

A week ago I got my second dog from greece. Her name is "Berta" and the two young dogs are playing nice together.
Here are some pics of Berta when she was a young puppy:

How beautiful she is and it's great that the two dogs get on well together.

Tortie's Story continued:

So off go Tortie and Loses Tail to have a nice long soak and to talk to Wise One. Soon they arrive at the pond and Tortie sees Lucky talking to Wise One.

Tortie: Oh Look there is Lucky.

Loses Tail: Who is Lucky?

Tortie: Well Lucky is a garden dwarf, he told me himself and he only arrived in the garden yesterday. He came to the pond to introduce himself to Wise One.

Loses Tail: Mmmm, well I need to go and talk to Wise One to find out if she know where I lost my last tail. Maybe she an also tell me how to stop losing them.

So off walks Loses Tail to talk to Wise One and Tortie goes and climbs into the shallow end of the pond. He chose a spot where there are some plants so that he can hide by them while he soaks, just in case the bird comes past again. But when he gets to his spot, he sees that Snelly is there by the plant having some food to eat.

Tortie: Hello Snelly, How are you today? When I woke up and came out of my burrow you were already gone. What have you been doing this morning?

Snelly: Hello Tortie, I am nice a warm and having some yummy food to eat. Sorry I left early, but I woke up early and was hungry. I tried waking you up, but you
wouldn’t wake up. So I left and went looking for food.

Tortie: Oh Okay. No problem. I made two new friends today. Lucky – who is a garden dwarf and Loses Tail who is a lizard. They both seem very nice. I almost
ate Loses Tail. He is green like the grass and I did not see him while I was eating the grass.

After 30minutes, Tortie decided that he had enough soaking in the pond and decided to try and make it to the south side of the garden while there was still sunlight available.

Tortie: I am going to visit the south side of the garden do you want to go with me?

Snelly: Sure, I don’t mind coming with you. But won’t I slow you down?

Tortie: You can ride on my back if you like. Then you won’t be slowing me down at all.

Snelly: Great. Lets go.

Snelly and Tortie get to the other side of the garden and look around. They find that there are lots of dandelion, clover and plantain weeds on this side of the garden. In fact it seems that there are far more weeds on this end than there are on the north side. But there is only one problem. There is a barrier there and they cannot get to them.

Tortie: I wonder why there are more weeds and yummy foods on this end of the garden? Why are we not able to get through this barrier to get them?

Snelly: I am not sure. Lets walk along the barrier and see if we an see any openings to get through.

Tortie and Snelly walk along the barrier for a while until they come across a hole in the barrier.

Tortie: Yayyyyy, this hole is perfect and we can go through to the other side. I want to try those yummy weeds. They look much greener and yummier than the
ones that we have on this side.
Snelly: I know what you mean. Okay lets go.

Tortie with Snelly still on his back gets through the hole and walks further into the garden with all the yummy weeds. Snelly and he both start munching on the yummy weeds when they hear this very loud and strange noise. Woof Woof Woof. They both look up and see coming towards them this HUGE creature. It has very nasty looking teeth and it is running on four legs.

Tortie: Quick Snelly I don’t like the look of this creature. It is very scary. Climb on my back, we need to get back through the hole very quickly.

They just make it back through the hole in time. When they turn around there is this nose trying to get through the hole, but the hole is too small for the creature to get through.

Tortie: Excuse me scary creature, What are you and are you dangerous?

Watch Dog: Why do you want to know little tasty morsel?

Tortie: Well you see I am new in the garden and I am trying to meet all the creatures in it.

Watch Dog: Let me tell you something. I am a dog and I am the watch dog of this garden. I protect this garden from all who come inside. And I warn you to stay on
your side of the garden, otherwise I will eat you. In fact why don’t you come back here, so that I can eat you. That way I won’t have to worry about you
trying to get back into my garden again!!

Tortie: Well!!!!! You are a very nasty creature. And don’t worry I will be staying on my side of the garden. Thank you very much.

Watch Dog: Well remember what I told you. STAY ON YOUR SIDE OF THE GARDEN AND I WON’T HAVE TO EAT YOU!!

Tortie ignores the dog and with Snelly on his back walks back to the pond. Both Tortie and Snelly vow never to go back there again. Their own garden is much safer.

Cute...but maybe add a mom shoring up the fence because of her wayward children. Just a thought.

I guess kelplog is trying to out think everybody...and catch up

 

[Lyn W]

It is so cold and rainy outside.....
I wanna go home..... Äh, I am home but:

Lovely Bee! We have missed your singing!
I was expecting the Michael Buble song or Sloop John B by the Beach Boys.
I had forgotten that old one, so thank you for reminding me of the old Detroit City song!

 

[Lyn W]

Oh, OK. Yes, that is important. My 2 dogs and 2 cats get along most of the time, unless there is a treat involved. Then it's a lot of hissing and growling. Rarely any damage done though.

And a dog HAS to chase a cat now and then, usually because the cat has been teasing the dog.
These are the two that get in trouble...

Your dog looks like a rare species of bat in that photo!!
probably likes to stay out of the cat's way up there!!

 

[Lyn W]

A late hello from me, it's been busy in here today but I've managed to catch up.
I'm not saying too long - very tired again for no good reason so I'm off to bed soon.
I hope you are all having or have had a good Monday, and I'll not see you tomorrow.
Nos Da and take care!

 

[Cathie G]

I’ve never had a Hershey Bar

Yes but I'm sure you can get some better chocolate where you live. What you would probably really like is a Reeses. Chocolate has to have peanut butter.

Great. Now I'm craving a Reeses. Nice job.

 

[Cathie G]

Neither have I actually. It was just a picture of the biggest chocolate I could find on google. But don't tell Linda, she does not need to know that it is only a picture!

You probably have better chocolate where you live but I feel sorry for anyone that's never had a Reeses.

 

[Cathie G]

Isn’t that the truth [emoji15]

Yea I heard they cuss...at least the McDonald's ones did...that was the gossip on the news a few years ago.

 

[Bee62]

Hello...I'm being so selfish. I wanted to hear another song from you...

Go back to post 141051. There it is fresh for today....

Goodnight Lyn W. The sleepiness might be another healing hurdle you've jumped through.

 

[Bee62]

So beautiful as always Sabine. I really do like your songs.

Thnak you Carol- I wish I could sing a song to make you happy.

 

[Cathie G]

Go back to post 141051. There it is fresh for today....

I have to recharge my phone to find it. It's dying as we connect!

 

[Bee62]

Ive heard of German Shepherds, maybe they are from Greece? ;-)

No. German shepard dogs are from Germany and they look like that:

What a pity.

Sun never really “popped out” today like it was forecast ... a bit chilly and overcast all day long. I did manage to get our back lawn cut, trimmed a whole bunch of limbs from our fallen trees, split some pine logs....worked a bit on the new cherry bowl.

The bottom is now finished up, flipped around, and started removing the innards.

Yes but I'm sure you can get some better chocolate where you live. What you would probably really like is a Reeses. Chocolate has to have peanut butter.

Hershey's makes Reese's....along with many other candy products.

Hershey's also makes Cadbury chocolate sold here in the USA, but they don't use the same recipe as the British company.
