COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good mornooning all. It’s a public holiday here in the UK, so we have another day off

The sun is currently shining... we will enjoy it while it lasts which won’t be long according to the forecast unfortunately.

JoesDad and I have no plans except to do a few things around the house

A lazy day in other words!!!

Three more to go. Coming soon. Wishing everyone a Marvelous Monday!

Awesome pics again. And I can see why you won the category. Although personally I think that they all should have won.

Wow. Now that was a very quick catch up. Good Monday all. Back to the grindstone again. Hi ho hi ho it's off to work I go.... Have a good Monday.
Btw Heather what happened in your meeting on friday regarding your job?

I drove 8 hours for no official answers. I think it was a BS political meeting to try and find out everyone’s feelings and put on a happy face. I’m not sure these guys know what their official plan is for our branches . I’m not too good at keeping my mouth shut these days when something seems off. They contradicted themselves with their own statements and I questioned them about it. They still couldn’t answer my questions. They went to great lengths to assure me they they had plans for me and many different management rolls they were considering but it didn’t really mean very much after hearing all of the other Mumbai jumbo... my main concern was making sure my guys in my branch are taken care of.... so at this point, it’s just a wait n see game ‍

Oh no. Typical top management mentality. They hire their employees based on their intelligence and ability to do the job and yet treat them as if they are stupid!! I am sorry that you had a wasted trip.

I agree. The standard must have been very high!

 

[Bee62]

hello. I actually found you today instead of tomorrow. I bet I have a bucket full of rain for my new baby.

Sure !

 

[Bee62]

Not as good as your version Sabine.
I've not heard of him either.
I assume he's a German artist?

Thank you very much Lyn. Max Werner is an artist from the Netherlands but had the bigges sucsess in Germany.

 

[Bee62]

We are lucky to have a double whammy from you tonight Bea!
That is a very sweet country song and you sang it beautifully.
Thank you again.

 

[Bee62]

Luv it!!!

Thank you, Heather.

 

[Bee62]

Two more great songs by Bee62!

Thank you very much Cheryl.

 

[Bee62]

Lovely as always Sabine.

Thank you, Carol.

 

[Bee62]

Thank you, Sabine! I had never heard that one before. Your rendition is lovely!!

Thank you, Yvonne.

 

[Bee62]

I had never heard that one either. Your voice is well-suited to the country and western genre. Thank you for sharing.

I thought that you could know the song because it is old. I like Country & Western music very much.

Today’s adventure was at Charing Cross underground station. Charing Cross is the place marked on the map as the centre of London. There’s a big of overground rail station and spreading underground, right out to Trafalgar Square, is the underground station. Parts of this are off limits and that includes platforms for what was part of the Jubilee Line that are no longer in use.

These days they serve regularly as a set for movie makers needing to depict the underground, but weirdly it also serves as a New York Subway station occasionally!

The James Bond film Skyfall features a chase sequence that was shot here. So Daniel Craig slid down this escalator

Your pictures of Underground tunnels make me view an interesting report about old underground tunnels in London. It was very interesting.

Love this! [emoji177]

I keep getting video unavailable for this [emoji22]

Thank you Linda.

We found this guy visiting our pool today... we have lived here over 6 years and have found lots of critters in the pool... but never a turtle.. I think maybe a heron dropped him.. I didn’t find any injuries so we returned him to the edge of the lake . Hopefully he will be fine.. View attachment 271484

What a lovely visitor. I think he or she knows that tortoises and turtles are welcome on your property and maybe he likes your pool.

 

[Bee62]

Thank you, Sabine! [emoji173]️ I don’t feel down any more. And O could listen to this all May long! [emoji6]
