COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Good afternoon/evening all.
It's 11 15 pm here and it has been a very wet but mild day with the same on the way for tomorrow.
I spent today getting some last minute bits and bobs and delivering pressies so that's all done, just have to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the day now - I don't even have to cook lunch now because my sister is insisting on cooking for us - probably felt sorry for my nephew . We'll eat it at my house though as my Brother in laws recently widowed Mum will be with them, so I thought it may be too much for her, so all I have to do is collect it and eat it and I'm sure it will be delicious!
Anyway I may pop in tomorrow to see how you're all faring but until then Merry Christmas to you and your families and have a lovely peaceful day.
Nadolig LLawen!

I'm so kinda disappointed. I can't send you a white Christmas picture it's 58f outside and it's 6:30pm. The temperature keeps going up instead of down for the night. Nos da ??

We are having pouring rain with mild flooding right now...but along towards evening the temps will drop below freezing...all that flooding will turn to ice...here in the Valley floor we will have a white Christmas and on coming week. On Christmas day a special group of friends and I will meet tomorrow in the church parking lot and do donuts...yaaaaa whooooo. So happy Christmas to you all...and thanks ever so for putting up with me...lol

Happy Christmas to you also ? TFO wouldn't be the same without you.?

 

[Cathie G]

And good day my friends, Wishing ALL of you a very Happy Holidays.
57° out now @ just before noon, we got .94" of rain last night and more to come tomorrow.
Alice my one eyed Duck? is eating lunch in the kitchen, and my morning chores are completed.
Have an errand to run this afternoon, to drop off my customary gift (A bottle of Dry Creek Vineyards Zin), and a loaf of Custard Bread, & a Jar of my Plum Jam, to my old Supervisor and a Co-worker.
Then it's Jam & Fresh egg's to some of my neighbors.
I typically go to Midnight Mass ?, but for the second year in a row, that won't be happening.
It gives me time to contemplate my life and the last year. . .
As I said . . Wishing you all >Peace< my friends. . . ?

Have a lovely peaceful Christmas Eve and Christmas with your critters. Sometimes they give the best presents anyway.??

We have a Christmas guest with us this year. My neighbor is out of town so we are watching their bird.
I cant remember what kind it is. ?
What is bothering me is they said she will be fine. On the screen porch in low 50's temperatures at night. Last night I put a space heater blowing on the cage. It is covered with a heavy blanket. But that doesn't seem to be enough. I am thinking about bringing it in tonight.View attachment 337996

Like Yavonne said. Birds are too social to be left all alone. Just cover the cage so sleep is possible.

Also Merry Christmas to you, Rose and Opo and your little guest.?

I think bringing the African Grey in for the duration of your care is a good idea. The bird is stressed being away from his human flock and being relegated to the screened in porch and away from people is even more stressful.

Thanks Yvonne, they keep it on their porch. But it just seems to cold out there. Rose and I are going to bring her in now.
Merry Christmas!

It is the only bird they have. She was really keeping a eye on Opo whenever he walked by.?

Merry Christmas to you and yours!????

 

[Ray--Opo]

I would do the same if you're not happy.

Last night I was up and down checking the temp. I put one of my thermometers in there. So I didn't have to use my temp gun. Bringing her in might give me a good night's sleep. Plus I don't want to run into Santa Claus late at night. ?

When having birds, should you buy in pairs?

oh, Oh, OH! Ray, your watching an Timneh African Grey.
My old roommate had 4, could be a Congo African Grey, But I believe it's a Timneh.
They are VERY Smart, possibly the smartest of the parrots. There is one Named Alex who was taught the vocabulary of a kindergartner by animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg @ University of Arizona and later at Harvard University and Brandeis University. And YES, bring it in, 50's is too cold.

No, not necessarily. Singles are fine.

Hi all, @Cathie G I hope things get better, I know they will, remember you lose when you don't get back up.
Our cat, Snowy, went missing two days ago, we got a message from our neighbour that she was bit by their dog and she didn't survive, I feel gutted?View attachment 337670

My heart is just broken ?

The day is limping right a long. ? A bit overcast today , but mild, so not too bad. I had started a new project a week or two before my surgery, but didnt get to finish it. Soo, now i can go up & down steps again, and Im trying to get the last few pieces glued up before the evening when we will light it up.

I can’t post too many pix of the pieces..or you will guess too easily.
But, here’s one teaser. I needed to make four similar/identical holders.
In total, I think we are at about 35 individual pieces in this project with a German Christkindl theme.
