COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Yeah at this point if he had that would have shown up. Just thought it was crazy when I read that. Kinda makes since now though why they had not treated Takoda for the fleas or anything.

What are the current methods of testing for animals and vaccinations for humans? I went through an incident as a child almost 60 years ago. Back then the animal died and the person had to undergo 21 shots in the abdomen. Looks like you rescued your beautiful little puppy in the knick of time.

 

[Cathie G]

He should be. But that's a scary thing to read.

Not if the infected puppy came after you already had rescued your puppy.

Whereas schools here break up at the end of July and restart first week in September.

Ohio starts around the end of August and ends about the first week of June also.

He has been cleaning our windows for around 25 years at our previous house and here. It really is about time I reminded him yet again that he hasn’t increased how much we pay him for a while.

Bake him some of that delicious looking bread if he won't take a raise.

Post man delivered this today, it was a free poster from David Attenborough’s blue planet 2 which aired a year or two ago......that was when I ordered this poster. I completely forgot I ordered it. This parcel took more than a year to arrive, that is ridiculous!!!

Wow! That's like Christmas in July.

 

[Cathie G]

Nagh - probably never tasted them properly prepared? Or just regular white button ones. They can be sooooo tasty!

Floured and fried portabellas are as good as a rib eye steak to me. But both in the same meal is just plain yummy.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Ok! It’s officially official - the funds from our house sale yesterday arrived in our Account. Verse, Chapter, Book closed.

 

[Cathie G]

Almost as good as the Christmas post for the CDR!

I don't think I had gotten stuck in the CDR last Christmas yet. I can't wait. Can you believe August is tomorrow!?

Lola had lost that leg already when Lyn found him. She doesn’t know how it happened.

Wow! That's like Christmas in July.

its a cool poster

Something new to try!

I love some marmite on a piece of good, crunchy hot toast. An acquired taste maybe, but tasty. Now with this...added peanut butter addition, maybe twice as good.

The only store bought bread I've really enjoyed lately is Dave's Bread. Unfortunately, they don't have a nut bread yet. I love toast with tahini and a good jam for breakfast.

Hello Lola, did he injure that leg in the past?

No idea what happened - possibly rats or a dog but hopefully nothing as traumatic as that and he hatched with a deformity.
None of the vets in the area that were contacted to try to trace his owner had treated a tortoise with a leg injury.
He copes well though.

Yes, Portabellas simmering with a chunk of melted blue cheese in the center.

I have now heard from Lena. She is in her new home and is busy building IKEA’s entire range of furniture by the sound of it. That, along with finding work and a school for her daughter is keeping very busy. She says she misses you all and will try to stop by when she gets chance to draw breath.

Give her our love and best wishes if you speak to her again.

I wonder if we have it here yet. I’ll have to check.

I thought it was the 30th today - I'm a day behind everyone else!

I don't like Marmite or Peanut butter so both together don't appeal to me at all.

So it is the last day of July!
Good job Cathy mentioned it or I'd have missed the start of August - I'm losing track of time!
It's been fine and sunny here again but with a nice strong breeze - we could do with some more rain though, the south west of the UK got off lightly with the storms this week.
Lola stayed in bed until gone 11 again today, so I got him out for a nice long soak and he perked up and ate a lot.
I took my nephew out for a very nice lunch and caught up with him which was a nice change from chores although I've managed to find time to pop in here several times.
