COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Foot fine - thanks Lena - just waiting for an appointment to see a knee specialist, but bearing up!
Neighbours away this week so all quiet on the western front.
They have been draining a washing machine into a soak away drain which has started to flood my garden, but once I know that for sure I'm going to get the water company to sort it out. I have been house hunting and went to look at a bungalow, so may be on the move myself sometime in the future.

Was it a Lola-friendly bungalow? Good luck finding something you like, with adequate people, at the minimum, for neighbours!

Thanks Lena.
It had a very Lola friendly garden but would need a conservatory added for his accommodation.
Detached bungalow with only neighbours on one side. School to the right and cricket club grounds to the rear.

That’s a very good point Yvonne, I might just do that

You would be following in good footsteps. Lyn’s Lola is male after all [emoji4]

@EllieMay ive chosen the name you suggested as it’s similar to the original name and they both sound the same with my southern English accent

Lol!! Now I’m just honored [emoji8]

Good morning, roommates! Or I should say mornooning, of course, to account for all the CDR time zones! [emoji23] I’ve been planning to write a substantial update about our move, but that intention just resulted in my postponing posting entirely. So, no substantial update. Just greetings from the second coldest capital in the world! Which is currently pretty warm at 29 C / 84.2 F later today. Missed you all!!

YAYYYYY LENA IS BACK!! We have missed you.. I hope you and the family are comfortably settled now!

Unfortunately that area no longer has quality dandelions, they are all grey and dead looking. I’ve found another spot but I have to go through nettles to get to them. It’s never easy

If you can stand it, nettles are edible too.

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning,day, afternoon everyone. I hope everyone here is having a good day.

Do you have to wait for them to wilt first?

Thank you, Heather! How are you and yours? [emoji173]️

For the love of torts! [emoji173]️

Nettles are great with eggs for breakfast. Not kidding. You might forage them for yourself. [emoji23]

Can torts eat them? Ill give one a try

 

[JoesMum]

You don't? I thought they lived about everywhere.

There are no wild hummingbirds in Europe!

They are only native to the North and South American continents. You won’t find them wild anywhere else.

That's one of those things we do take for granted here.

Ok...baaaaaack from a long weekend of kayaking. Friday afternoon paddle, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and I paddled a protected Marsh on my own this morning before driving home.

Time to catch up on TFO, then look at some pix!

Where i was this morning.

Hope everyone survived their weekends too.

I've seen the term "box set" used in Florida. Often, there's an actual box that the DVD cases go into. I don't think we'd call it a boxed set if it came in a plastic or metal container, though.

Yes....we have many “box sets” of DVDs/shows. We watch the Office over n over.

Interesting. I did not know that.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Do you have to wait for them to wilt first?

I’m sure you found this already -

Cook, stirring frequently, until the nettles are tender, about 2 minutes for blanched nettles and a few minutes longer for raw nettles. If sautéeing raw nettles, make sure to keep the heat high so the liquid they throw off as they cook evaporates quickly. Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve immediately.

Ok - caught up - i think.
