COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

We're all doing great, thanks!

I discovered the ghost shrimp are stealing Jacques' salmon from right under her nose! I dropped in about 4 pieces and saw her eat 1 or 2. Then one of the pieces appeared to start walking away all by itself- I looked closer and saw a ghost shrimp had lifted it up and was carrying it off!!!!! Two days later I found a piece of salmon at the far end of her tank- obviously dragged there by the shrimp.
Today I tried hand feeding her- i know it's risky since she snaps up her food, but I know for SURE she got 3 pieces!!!!!!

Oh Jacques! You need to be more assertive my love [emoji23]

Busy day for me: a friend and I are baking and decorating a cake for a competition fund raiser which will be on Saturday! Last year we made a realistic looking book, and got 2nd place! And it sold for $100!
I'll post pictures of our creation once we're done: I'm baking and freezing 2 cakes today, and she'll come over tomorrow to do the sculpting and most of the creative work. She is a professional chef!!!!!!!
Not see you all later!!!

Oooh. That sounds very gooood

So the Russian tortoises are a little bit like chameleons. Adapted with their colors to their environment.

Chameleons change colour based on their mood, not to match their environment.
True fact!

He/she might be a “red”t-it: one step forward, two steps back.
(Apologies, the post makes a reference to the relatively recent political past in my historical motherland. Am I banned? )

Nope.
Not today, anyway.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Morning everyone.

Good morning, Dan!
Hope we find you well today, my friend.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sure. Where shall we go — Aldi or Lidl?

They're both good.
They sell cheese.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Happy I. Women`s day from me too

Jacques!
Don't let the shrimpies bully you!
But good girl for eating !
Looking forward to some cake, Bea, er, i mean the pictures of the cake. What's the cause? Of the fund raiser, that is , not cakes in general.
Have fun and speak soon.

Thank's Dan! (says Tidgy).

Well we are less that 200 post away. Do you think we will hit it before Adam gets back?

My bet is no.

 

[DE42]

My bet is no.

It was moving fast for a bit lol

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And everyone has gone as i manage to catch up.
I have a lesson in a few minutes, but i think I'm free this evening.
Very exciting, just 145 posts to go

My reaction exactly!

 

[Kristoff]

My bet is no.

You might be right this time...

Oh no, you might just miss it! Send the student away -- tell him he can swim home early today

Daughter has taken part in a company webinar for International Women’s Day. It was presented by a man [emoji849]

Tempting, but I always complain of their unreliability, so better not.
Her ships probably nearly here by now.

I'll use the opportunity of a quiet time in the CDR to post a few more postcards from my walk this morning, this time taken with a real camera.

Here is a former townhall, which used to be a fire station's watch tower before that, and a prison, and a part of a church even earlier. The church had been demolished some 500 years ago during the Danish Reformation, but you can still see the ruins under the square.

These used to be the stables adjacent to a summer palace; currently a museum of modern art but I haven't visited.

The cathedral from the palace courtyard.

The cathedral from a different angle.

A shortcut to the cathedral from the city park.

A detail of the cathedral. Each king built an extension to the cathedral which would serve as his and his family's burial chamber. Because the architectural styles and tastes changed over time, each new addition could be very different from the rest.

The bishop's bridge I mentioned before. And me doing street photography -- taking pictures of random people.
