COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Lola seems to behaving true to form He needs to make sure you know that you need to feel guilty - even though you don’t - and he is SO well practiced at making you feel guilty [emoji849]

Yes - I think this may be a sulk. When I let him stretch his legs he wandered towards his room and just lay there staring at the door! That made me feel really guilty!!!

My dessert (choux bun)

I am completely stuffed. The portions were far from dainty. Completely the opposite type of cuisine to what Lena had tonight! It was very good.

It all looks lovely! JoesDad is a very clever and thoughtful man for finding such a lovely birthday treat!!

Yep+

I must admit I like a home to look lived in rather than like a show house.

Here’s a glimpse of our drive. It’s starts off so pretty and green and gradually turns into desert.
I need to upload the scary driving video.

Cedar Log Update

Spent some time today cutting the Mr. Cedar Loggettes into now even smaller more machine friendly pieces.

The cedar looks so nice



Look at that color

What a lovely drive, with some unusual rock formations there
Hope the high winds weren't too bad, although it looks as if daughter managed to sleep through it.
Wishing you a great trip with lots of fun!!

Beautiful. Such a shame the trees were damaged, I bet they've seen a few changes in their time!
It would be great to make some lovely things with it so that the wood doesn't go to waste.
The village where my sister lives has a festival every year and a big part of that is a wood carving competition so there are lots of them left around the village.

Fortunately my work has camera's. And we more or less know who it is. So hopefully I will not need to go through my insurance. My insurance does not like me, as I have had a few accidents before (all not my fault - from people driving into me) which was why I said I must be a magnet which just draws other cars into driving into my car. At least this time I was not in the car.

Maybe you should get a vibrant red vehicle next time so other drivers can't help seeing it. Something with a higher profile too, like a pickup truck or a SUV.

 

[AZtortMom]

So you'll be off work for a while?

Nope. I go back to work Monday.
I just can’t drive for a couple weeks

 

[AZtortMom]

...that's just what my house looks like at the moment with chairs for me to kneel on all over the place.
At least they're not stacked on the table though!!

Hello everyone, just got done with Opo's first of the year morning grazing on a empty stomach. Opo and I loved it.
Here is a question for you all.
If there are some turkey buzzards (I think 13)
circling above my head.
What does that mean?

Circling turkey vultures can't be good, but when they decide to land on your metal roof... They make more racket than a bunch of workmen up there!

So, Dining Week 2019. Restaurant Moehr showcasing New Nordic cuisine in Roskilde.

The first course, similar to Mark’s prediction, is a mosaic of lightly salted cod, served ice cold with a “snow” of horse radish and apple vinaigrette on the side.

I dove into my main course — grilled beef with glazed beetroot and mustard seeds, topped with foamed brown butter cream — before I remembered to take a picture. Here’s daughter’s dish:

And to finish our three-course winter menu, here’s parsley ice cream in warm white chocolate with bits of dark chocolate and cucumber pops as a surprise element.

Daughter loved the dessert, apart from the cucumber element. The appetizer didn’t appeal to her at all, and the main course only partly. I don’t know why she acted like a six-year-old this time. ‍♀️[emoji849][emoji849]

Yummy [emoji39]

It's raining and coming down at a pretty good clip. Right when I'm ready to go out and feed, water and care for the outside critters. Misty won't go out when it's raining. I wonder how come dogs can "hold it" for so long and people can't?

My daughter got me an umbrella hat last year, and it works real well, however, it won't stay on my head! I complained it was hard to hold the umbrella, the tortoise food, etc and still administer to the tortoises, so she got me the umbrella hat. I'm going to get it out and see if there's an adjustment to keep it on my head better.

Does the umbrella hat come with a chin strap?

Well then you'd like our home. I'm really glad you're home with your Lola though. I'm hoping and praying it's not too hard for you. I could never live with my sister. I love her to pieces but I'd rather be home with my critters. I could say something nasty about the person and their insurance company that hurt you but...I've been thinking of your situation instead.

Wouldn’t this be a neat thing to have in your garden?

What lovely succulents! And the containers aren't bad, either!

Were you able to get more? Just wondering. My favorite is pine with blue streaks. If you couldn't what you got is really beautiful. I was just hoping you could get the whole treasure chest.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

I would live to try. But I would feel terrible if you spent all that money only for it to arrive dead because of taking so long to arrive. I have found out that it is also called inchplant. So I will carry on looking. It is not a train smash if I don't get it. There are other plants that work as well.

Carol, try looking for the plant under the name Tradescantia or Zebrina. It's worth a shot, anyhow.

Lol

Somehow those words remind me of what my brother Joe does to his daily "red hot beef and bean burrito". He cuts up jalapenos on it and does a pop in. We call them joecanos. After he stuck one under my nose today...I think he owes me...
