COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Morning roommates
I hope all is well.
I had to buy a new fish tank yesterday. My largest fish tank sprung a very large leak on the side and woke me out of a dead sleep
Fortunately no fish were lost and the carpet was not damaged nor the TV
I’m a proud owner of a 50 gal tank
It’s a wall of water

Sorry that you had to do that. But sounds like everything worked out in the end. Would love to see pics.

Would anyone here be interested in seeing a drive around my neighborhood it I made a video?

Yes, I would. For sure.

Was unable to catch up properly, but I just have to wish everyone a Happy Christmas Eve! It’s the other Christmas tomorrow! And if I don’t forget, I’ll wish everyone a Happy old New Year (Old-Russian-style New Year) on the 13th. Holidays never end at the CDR

For you too !

When in Rome do as the Romens do. I understand.

Howling with the wolfs ..... and you are a wolf ...

Nice evening drive in Moscow.

That postcard is Ukrainian. Grr!...
Just kidding—about the “Grr!”. Happy Orthodox Christmas, Mark!

Mine are Anne McCaffery and Raymond E. Feist.

Read and liked Anne McCaffery’s trilogy on dragon riders when I was a teenager. Has she written (or did she write?) anything else?

Here’s one of the two versions I owned:
It barely survived my friend’s son reading it.

Iguanas falling from trees, poor chilled turtles being rescued. Now researchers have baby turtles on treadmills.

Nope sorry. Just googled him. He writes Horrors. Don't like being scared. Never watch horror or scary movies either.

Same here. The last time I watched a horror movie was in the States in 2007, “The Orphanage”. I was staying in a dilapidated and desolate wing of university housing and was frantically trying to finish my master’s thesis and get the hell out of there. The boiler made the most eerie noises at night and later—a year after I was gone, thank God—the balcony finally collapsed. Watching that movie given the situation was a bad call.

Merry Christmas Adam.

Merry Christmas, Carol !
Talking of books, have a look at my version of 'Esio Trot' by Roald Dahl.
