COLD DARK ROOM

[Ben02]

Sounds like you will be sailing through your class with flying colors. It pays to follow your heart.

I think some classes are harder than others. There are 6 units in my course and you have to pass all of them to progress onwards.

Good evenooning everyone.

Two cute admissions at the rescue today....

I have come home with a crate containing a mother hedgehog and her babies that I must hand over to someone for release this evening

They are beautiful especially the little stoat - I've never seen a baby stoat before.
Good luck to the hedgehogs too.

Ahhhhh, I’ve got Tuesdays and Thursdays off. Time to kick back and relax for this is the only week where those days are not filled up with assignments and work experience

Ok we are all buttoned up! Opo,s inside and its bedtime for him. So that worked out. Wait till he wakes up tomorrow. He was upset when we took his hides and other things off the porch. Went to his outside enclosure and hid in the tall grass. Started raining hard but he stayed put. Brought him in and he went right to his nighttime hide.
We are not supposed to get hit until Tues night. Keep you all posted!View attachment 279847

You have a very pretty house. Let's hope it still looks like that after the storm passes.

Stay safe Ray, I'll be thinking of you all.

@Ray--Opo

Keep safe during the storm my man!
I wonder what Opo will think of it.

Good afternoon/evening all.
It was lovely to see everyone in work today and find out what they've been up to this summer, but now I've done that I don't want to go back.
We had a short day today, but the kids will be in tomorrow so all back to normal.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Just back from a day kayaking on Maryland’s upper Potomac River, west of Washington DC. Big open skys, some sun, calm cool waters.

Storms slowly moving in from the Weet.

 

[Ray--Opo]

That's very sad, especially as doves are the bird of peace.
I can't understand what perverse thrill anyone would get out of killing such harmless birds.

It's because they are small and fast. Supposed to be a challenge. If I don't eat it I am not going to kill it.

It's no wonder people have trouble learning English... The US spells and celebrates Labor Day and the Canadians spell and celebrate Labour Day. Sooo...who's correct? hehehe

Thanks Yvonne, the weatherman are saying Tues evening for us. They are predicting 80 to 100 mph winds. Shouldn't cause to much damage if at all. But all that could change.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Stay safe Ray, I'll be thinking of you all.

Thanks Lyn, just some rain and a little wind so far. Hopefully I can get Opo outside tomorrow for some grazing. He will be mad if he doesn't get his morning basking and grazing. Dont think he will be able to bask though.

I know what you mean. I still miss my old job but it's really just missing the people. When I was working I wanted to be home with my animals. You have a good day too.

Thanks Ben he is all messed up. Took everything of his off the screen porch and have his nighttime box in the house. Hopefully I will get him out for a little bit tomorrow before Dorian hits in the evening.

It depends how much French is in your DNA

I’m a super mom, if I can say so myself [emoji123][emoji23]

That is awesome! I believe I agree

Here was the house when we bought it. Really this pic doesn't show how bad the paint had faded. The insides were unlivable. We bought on a short sale. After 4 months of hard work. My wife and I totally remodeled inside and out. The only place we had to replace the drywall was in the bathrooms. But we gutted the whole house. It was my idea to flip a few houses before the accident happened. So instead of flipping the house we stayed.

I have to disagree... dove is a game bird here. A delicacy similar to quail or pheasant on rare menus. The season is short but everyone I know kills, cleans and eats.. usually in the same day.. I find they they are not trophy birds at all... because they are so small and not spectacular, only hunted for the dinner.. I believe that they are one of the few animals that are not wasted when hunted.

Ok that's good to know. I had read somewhere after you get the buckshot out. You end up with a peice the size of a chicken nugget. So most people don't bother.
It was on the internet so it must be true.
