COLD DARK ROOM

Unless of course we’re talking our Sully. No bike or basket going to hold!

What about one of those motorbikes with the sidecar attached

Hello everyone, just wanted to say hello. Wife and mother in law are back home. So everything is back to normal. Been on the other side greeting new members and it's hard to keep up with the CDR. My thumb can only handle so much typing.
Hope everything is fine and will try to catch up with you all.
Opo says hello!

Well done you [emoji4]

Watch out for the grass snakes. They poop down you when stressed and it smells AWFUL!!! Our rescue vet got it all down his front last week.

We can only take volunteers from age 16, as can they probably, because of the Safeguarding laws for minors. If you’re supervising children, everyone would have to DBS checked. (Disclosures and Barring Service - checks you out for a criminal past - everyone in UK schools has to do it)

Yeah..... TODAY is final closing day on the house we are selling in northern Virginia! We started getting it ready first week of June, painting, cleaning, a few new things, new microwave, power washing, new window screens, replaced a cracked window, got the gas fireplace perfectly working, replaced the furnace, redid the garden, and stained the deck. Whew.

So - the last Chapter is today - The Closing! @ 1100

That’s great! I hope you did good on your asking price so what’s the status on house hunting for your final move???

Morning everyone, hope you all are good. I have had a busy couple of days been out with my son (he’s 12) swimming and enjoying the sunshine! My torts are loving this weather ! Haven’t got any plans today just chilling in the garden I think, maybe have a few gin and tonics later [emoji6]. Might make my fella get the guitar out tonight and have a family sing song, that’s my favourite way to get us all together even though my boy is now getting to that age where everything we do is rubbish [emoji23] especially singing! I brought myself a new bike this week, and if I don’t say so myself it’s beautiful, it even has a granny basket! what do you all think? This is my contribution to keeping things green and ditching the car for shorter journeys when it’s just me going somewhere! I love bike riding makes me feel younger seen as I’m nearly 40 i now need the exercise View attachment 277539

You're right, it IS beautiful!

Ok, back from Settlement! The Buyer signs at 1400, the $$$$$ gets EFT’D tomorrow.

Final final plan is to Florida SOON. We have been looking on the east coast between St Augustine to Palm Coast. But, this March, we went kayaking on the Gulf side, south of Tampa, near Naples and loved the access to water there.

I’m now thinking, a Townhouse there! Decisions, decisions.

Of course Ray could suggest where!

 

[charlygal123]

Yes. I really have to get the scale out and give Ole’ Sully a proper weigh in. Moved her to soak the other day and I swear, ten pounds heavier. It’s hard to move a boulder about that doesnt have handles.

Yeah I can imagine it’s not like you can roll her along either is it?

 

[charlygal123]

You're right, it IS beautiful!

Why thank you! One has good taste don’t you know!

 

[charlygal123]

I luv it!!! Whatever you can do in life to make yourself happy is worth the effort... after all, we only get 1 chance[emoji16]

We sure do

How’s this for a weather (climate change) record:

Yesterday was the 95th day in a row that Alaska recorded an above normal temperature. @AlaskaWx

Thats a lot of warm temps!

Ogh, and on the local front:

Today was the 34 day this year we've hit 90º or higher ... the average for the YEAR is 36 days and it isn't even August yet. In fact, we should hit 36 days by Wednesday. It will feel like 100º tomorrow and mid 90s on Wednesday and low 90s on Thursday.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Nope, that would be too easy.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Here you go. I’m really in love with it.
Pic heavy though.
