COLD DARK ROOM

[EllieMay]

if you make it home ....
I would go and bash that other kid!!!
Sorry to say that..
I don’t want to upset you... but he should be there or the very least know what is going on and ALL the trouble he has caused to such a wonderful peaceful family.
Little brat!
we love you EllieMay!!
and are there with you in spirit!!! ??❤️

We aren’t going to make it home today.. hopefully tomorrow... but YES MAM... HIS DAY IS COMING

If it’s cold, dark & wet where you are, just be happy you aren‘t in Alaska at this location! Dark for the next 66 days!

Good Wednesday Everyone.

Well we finally got to the middle of the week. Yay almost at the weekend. although nowadays you look forward to the weekend the whole week, get to the weekend and before you have even blinked you are looking forward to the weekend again. Sigh a never ending story. I really really cannot wait for the day that I retire. I really need to pick up my socks and start walking properly again. I have not been getting my 10 000 steps in daily for the last two weeks which is very bad. I really have to start working on it better. We had a tremor again the other night, Stephen felt it, me I was so far down in dream land that I felt absolutely nothing. My bad. But at least the house did not fall down, otherwise it would have fallen down around me and I would be none the wiser. Okay enough rambling on, as I have nothing else interesting to say. My life currently is filled with bickering residents, work, home, family and garden. So not much else going on.

I think I now might have this:

Well...im kinda trapped like a rat in a trap ?

Cute snail. We mostly have slugs, they are too lazy to grow a shell i guess.

I have snails with horns but they are called slugs. They grow their shell in their belly. I don't think any of those are cute if I step on it...yuk

Last night‘s dinner, wifey got creative with some tacos. Quick brush of olive oil then popped over a baking dish covered with foil to make crisp taco bowls. Some diced lettuce, corn, black beans, onions & tomatoes with a dash of hot sauce & a dollop of sour cream.

I do that too. But I have a little set of baking pans that will do that with tortillas. Even the big ones.

I tried to send a pic but it's complicated sooo. Now here's a pic. The pans are one of those as seen on TV deals . I can do 4 hard shell taco salad bowls at a time.

It's bad here already...as soon as the possibility of a shutdown gets even mentioned... all the stores mysteriously run out of tp. Especially my kind.

I often wonder.....
when we were growing up as kids the rest of my family had bunnies dogs and cats.
My first pet was a gecko ..? ?
and from then on I’ve owned reptiles for the rest of my life !!!
for some reason they just seem to find ME???
And not for nothing ..but
why.... oh whyyyyyy!!!!.......
do I pick the two SLOWEST things on the face of the planet as pets ????
(The one thing I am NOT .... is slow...)
People always tell me to slow down.
Take my time..
I even speak fast?!!!!
I just can’t do it???
You’d have to tie me down in order for me to sit for more than an hour!!
I am ALWAYS about to explode when walking with my tortoise outside.
I am saying to her ..”come on.. come on....
Move yer tooochieee!!”
COME ON DAM IT!! I AM GONNA BE LATE!
?
Then when she looks up at me as if to say...
(Bugs bunny voice).....
“Aaaaahhhh——sshhaaat aaapppp!”
I get down on all fours and tell her I am sorry .. she comes before anything else.. she should take her time I’ll wait.. ?
She has me by the ....s.......... I guess??

It's a perfect example of why an odd couple works. They take a bit of crazy from each other and tone it down ???

If that were MY snail, I would feed it to a box turtle

 

[Cathie G]

Tremors? For some reason I never associate SA with earthquakes but I suppose they can happen anywhere. We get them occasionally in the UK. You're not living over a diamond mine are you?
Happy Wednesday to you too Carol.

I was sitting cross legged one day on a chair. A tremor from an earthquake went through Ohio. I didn't feel a thing but everyone else in the room did. They had both feet on the floor.?

Is this gonna be our first fight? ??

I'm hoping toads like them too.?

Cathyyyy!!!!!
Don’t help her out!! ?

 

[Maggie3fan]

Cathyyyy!!!!!
Don’t help her out!! ?

Well... and that's a deep subject. I don't mind having pets but let's face it!!!! Snails are slimy!!! So I'm hoping toads will eat em. Kinda like a natural deterrent. Otherwise I'll have to give the snails my leftover Miller. Then all the local birds will eat pickled snails. But if toads do like snails as a treat I'll still have to worry about toad turds sooo.?

maybe this one was imported because I swear he is not slimy at all!!
I thought the same thing but one day I held him in my hand and it felt like a little pebble.
No slime what so ever?
oh God!!.... maybe he needs more water?
Am I dehydrating him????? ?
No he sits in a water dish after being fed.

And then..... there was this nut... ???

 

[JoesMum]

I JUST SAW THAT ON THE NEWS!!!!
How cute!!
I want him!
I hope they bring him somewhere nice to be released....
He’s just a wee baby!
We should tell the lady who rescues hedgehogs ? to go get it...
She knows “people” she could call to make sure he gets the right attention.
Poor wee man....?

It made the news here in the UK too. Hopefully, it will be ready for release soon. It doesn’t look like there’s much wrong with it
