Hi everyone [emoji851][emoji217]

Hi.

 

[Yvonne G]

I wonder what else the young dog eats besides homework. Don't let it near the glowing jellyfish...

turtles and tortoises!

The valley I live in has a smokey pall over the whole area. The sun is quite feeble. No wind or rain in the near future, so we're stuck with the smoke. I feel so sorry for all the lives and homes lost. What a terrible thing - fire. Not much is said about all the animals lost. Can you imagine the large hooved creatures? Most people can evacuate with their dogs, cats, birds - but what about their horses and goats, etc. I know this sounds selfish, but I really need to make a fire in my wood stove to warm up the house. I have two Vision Cages full of baby tortoises, and when the house is cold the thin walls of those cages don't allow for the heaters inside to warm them up enough. But I hate to add to the poor air quality by making a fire. The wood stove is the only way for me to heat my house. I'll put it off for another day, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to make a fire tomorrow.

Oh shame Yvonne. That is a terrible situation to be in. But I really don't think your little fire is going to make much difference to the situation. So I would make one. We don't want you to be cold, that would not be good for your health. And we already have one roommate down.

That's why it's called T.O.R.T.O.I.S.E.

Totally Obviously Really The Origin IS Sure Enough... it's the CDR's NOT so Secret Santa as nobody can avoid putting their details on thr parcel when posting

We just don't tell who the sender is until the day we are allowed to unwrap the contents.

We could guess as someone is opening their gift.

Happy Saturday!!

Kinda busy.
Leaving for camping Monday so my to do list is long.
Daughter’s soccer game. I hope we win!!
Daughter tried out for basketball so she has her 2nd practice later today.

I’ll be running around getting the house ready for the pet sitter so I’ll check in later.

Have a great day!

Nice idea.

 

[no one]

What are you going to see at the movies?

Burn the Stage, the first movie of BTS. A Korean band my daughter loves.

And later on I watched the game between France and the Netherlands. We won!! It was yesterday, but I watched it today. I always watch football with my son. We are back in business, haha!!

 

[no one]

Hmm, I think I need to say soccer. Not football.
And *glimlach* is more a sweet smile then laughing. Like "I smile at you..." laughing is "lachen".
And I love all the talk about pancakes!! Think I will be having them again next week. Now that I found a good alternative. I have learned that I am Allergic to wheat, lactose and pork. So that has been an issue lately.
But I am still smiling and laughing... there are worse things in this world.

 

[CarolM]

Good morning all. It is Saturday at last

Today I shall be watching Tennis. The ATP World Finals, an indoor tournament, is on in London and JoesDad and I have tickets. I am partial to watching a tennis as you are probably aware

But first I must listen to the radio. My niece, the one who had her photo taken by Rankin, is going to be a guest on Saturday Live on national station Radio 4...alongside big names (in the UK at least) like Stephen Fry. She's getting about a bit at the moment!

So how did the interview go?

Good luck with your busy day. Is Hubby back home now? And I hope the camping trip will be a nice break for you.

The situation in California is awful. You have to stay warm though. Don’t feel guilty. Massive hugs from me

Lol. I asked my hubby what glimlach was and he said smile. I always thought it was laugh. My bad. We however spell it as glimlag.

It must make your food choices quite difficult and limited. So not nice having food allergies.

Oh those are difficult things to avoid in your diet. They’re in everything.

PS Carry on with football. Most of the world calls it that
