COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Unfortunately a whole area will be devastated.

I know.
The number of natural disasters in the US and around the world seems to be increasing every year.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Good night.
I'm just going to gather my things and head back out on the highway.
I miss Kelly and Suki a lot.

I'm sure you do.
Drive safely.
Night, Ed.

IS YOUR SURNAME CASTLE ?
Christen your son Warwick and save a fortune on personalized gifts by buying all his presents from the souvenir shop at Warwick Castle.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Night night, Roommates!
Tomorrow I am being a garage mechanic, so won't see you til luncheon, I expect.
Sleep well!

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all.

Fingers crossed for all those in Texas, including my best friend from School who moved there from California last winter

Also thinking of Ed & Kelly and Ed's Mom. I hope things are OK with you.

We're off into remote bits today so the signal is likely to be dodgy until we pick up daughter this evening.

Night night, Roommates!

As is usual, I got to reading when I should have been sleeping. I did, though, come across this cheesey bit that I just had to share with our Adam;

I just saw that it's on about 4:00am here in the hot, TOO DRY PNW.

It's always the case, isn't it?
You get the enclosure, east peasy and then all the bits you need, it keeps adding up!
Too early for me by far.
Enjoy the mysterious event !

Good morning, Adam and fellow Roomies!
The event is not particularly mysterious- I was just lazy and didn't feel like posting details last night. Hubby and I are both members of Rotary International, and we're going to a District training session to address the issues Rotary is currently focusing on. We're picking up a fellow Rotarian for the1.5 hour drive, which is probably a good thing: she's very chatty and can hold up both sides of a conversation!

 

[Bee62]

Good morning Bea, good morning CDR.
I think Jaques will be pleased with the upgrade you planned for her
Have a nice day in Missisippi.

Rare baby tortoise stolen and thrown around by gang at Essex train station
A rare baby tortoise which was stolen and abused by a gang of youths and then abandoned on a train from Essex is now recovering from its ordeal.
The one-year-old India star tortoise was rescued by police after commuters saw it being thrown around at a train station.
The little reptile was then fed left-overs by police officers who nicknamed Mickey.
A police tweet about Mickey was later seen by the RSPCA and Ross Blake, who owns the store from which the tortoise was stolen.
Mr Blake said that the business were delighted to get the tortoise home, but it was more important he had been found safely.
The tortoise was stolen by thieves, who hid Mickey in a coat at Essex Reptiles, and then took him to Braintree Station.

Members of the public found Mickey on the train and handed him into the British Transport Police officers at London Liverpool Street Station.
Mickey is now safe and well back in his rightful home at Essex Reptiles.
Essex Police are currently investigating the theft of the tortoise, and appealing for witnesses and information.

Although I've remained fully planted here in the States, if it'll help get these punks prosecuted and gainfully employed breaking big rocks into smaller rocks with an even smaller hammer, I was there! I saw the hooligans steal that there star tortoise. Not only that, but they deliberately fed the wrong foods to the helpless little guy in the hopes of creating a miniature tortoise for one of their girlfriends as a gift. GUILTY AS CHARGED!
Adam, Bee62, Moozillion we have a road trip to plan out. Time to pack our ruck sacks full of cheese and get these buggers.

Good afternoon, Linda.
Or good evening if you read this later.
Hoping you have a wonderful day.

It is nice to know that cheese has played an integral part in human evolution!
Most splendid.
Thanks, Ken, from hot, TOO DRY FES.

Poor Mickey.
People can be just horrible.
Still, I can't help wondering what 'left-overs' the police fed it and hope it's kept in good conditions in its shop. Someone might buy him now, because he's famous but with no idea how to care for him.
I do worry.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

WOW !
Quite gusty winds and burst of rain here!
Not predicted.
The tarpaulin over the plastic cover above the courtyard has blown off the roof into the back garden!
Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bit of excitement in my life.
