COLD DARK ROOM

[EllieMay]

Thank goodness for that!
We had gusts of about 68 mph the other day and wind that strong really worries me so I'd be a wreck with anything stronger or tornadoes etc.
I hope everyone else in it's path stays safe too.

Well at the very least, the gusts should have blowed your gnarly Nabors out.. dang the luck!!!

Well add 68+7=75. (lower grade tornado) Windy is crazy no matter.

I'm having an early night as I have 2 hospital appointments tomorrow. One is at 9 a.m. in one hospital for a biopsy on a mysterious facial 'thing' and the other is at 3 pm at another hospital about 30 miles away about my impending arthroscopy. Seems appointments are rather like British buses at the moment, you wait for ages and then 2 come along at the same time. Thank goodness there's plenty of time for me to get from one to another.
So nos da friends, see you tomorrow but until then take care.

Good luck tomorrow Lyn.. and good night!

Well, I'll obviously continue lessons in the Cold Dark Room, occasionally.
Did you know that there is a real psychological condition called boanthropy whose sufferers believe that they are cows?
They live their lives as they believe a cow would.

“Moo”

My life just became SO much simpler!!! ?

Yea. My appointments usually wait for bad weather. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Good morning All! I am procrastinating all ready.. I’ve got to force myself to get moving. Schools were closed yesterday but everything should be back on track today...After dropping the kid off, I’ve got two conference calls for work and I’ve made Ready an appointment at the vet.. He’s doing well but I think I’m going to have some allergy testing done so I can try to figure out what triggers his breathing irregularities... sometimes I think it’s panic attacks, sometimes it seems like an allergy.. maybe it simply is like asthma and something we will just have to continue managing.. other way, he’s a good boy and I’m all in at this point;-)

I've been looking forward to this since I started teaching - can't quite believe I've finished for good now. I had thought I may do some supply/substitute work but with all the upheaval caused by covid I think I'm better off out of it.

Absolutely. I am quite jealous actually. I wish it was me that was retiring. I cannot wait for the day when I retire and all I need to worry about are the worms in my garden and which insects are good for it and which are not. I would ideally like to spend my time in my garden just pottering away and making it better. Alas I am not there yet and have at least another 18 years to go before I can retire. ?

Be careful and I hope that everything goes well.

No more lessons"?...” waaa ☹☹

I actually forgot that Adam was teaching. LOL I thought it was fossils, fossils, and more fossils. ?

Really! Wow, So how exactly should a cow live? Grazing grass all day long?

What would it be called if you want to live your life like a tortoise all day long?

 

[CarolM]

That is very mooving. I wonder if they milk their stories about themselves. Mookie is not a cow, she is a dog that looks like a cow. ?

I so wish I could click on Love it and laugh for the emoji cons. Sometime there is just not enough to express what you want to say.

Good Luck at the vet. Let us know how it goes.

A side story, we have just had a lady by the name of Heather move into our complex. Made me think of you, and even before I have met her - I like her already, simply because she has your name. I really hope she does not disappoint me. ??

Good Afternoon Everybody.

We are set for Rain today (well I should say we have been having rain the whole day today so far) and more rain tomorrow. Sunday will be sunny and then it is back to rain again on Monday. And last night I finally connected the drain pipe from my gutters to my jojo tank. So I am loving all the rain, as i have a 2500lt jojo tank that needs filling.

I need to get myself some of that white cement so that I can finish off my bottle wall and I want to get paint as well so that I can paint my pond an nice charcoal colour instead of it being a boring cement grey.

Then I have quite a few bottles left, so the plan is to make a nice raised bed for some flowers on the side of my house as well. But that is a project for another time.

What is everybody's plans for this weekend?

Only about 8 hours a day.

Getting milked could be interesting. ?

I cried so much when I first read David's version of this.
