Oh dear. Meaning they don't want to say why.
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Nagh.. it is what it is. They didnt mow the tomatoes to the ground...and only really destroyed the banana peppers. So...we can be thankful.
The only red in our sky since last week has been from the flames sweeping across two local hills.
Apparently two 14 year old girls have been arrested for starting at least one if not both fires.
I cannot post what I think of them
I think the fire fighting teams are gaining control but still smouldering going on so it could flare up again.
The local community has been donating supplies to keep the firemen/women going, they have been incredible in difficult and dangerous circumstances.

The schools start tomorrow over here and my eldest goes back on the 23rd.
Hi Bee. At least 5 sullies in together ranging from big to enormous!
There were 10 leopards of different sizes in with 2 others that I think were Hermanns or Greeks in an area not much bigger than my living room.
They breed tortoises as well which I don't understand when they have so many others to rehome (apart from the financial benefit and they say to stop imports).
That’s horrible!
And just for fun and because I can.

Some unusual specimens:
Maybe this is what the Woolspider looks like (if she exists)

And because I live close to the sea and one of the reasons I don't go into it:

And until later I will leave you with this cute little guy. Looks like a water alien in my opinion:

That last one is an axolotl, a colleague keeps one named Jeff in his classroom.
They are funny looking things but have lovely faces - well I think so.
When you put it like that we are an odd quirky bunch - probably why we all get on so well!It is a friendship without international boundaries and with a shared humour (or humor if you Americans insist
We do try to have support each other as well as have giggle. Where else could you chat with a German with a sheep and cats as well as torts, a Russian who lived in Turkey moved to Denmark and is currently in Canada, a Welsh woman who uses her oven as a wine rack, a kayaking Marylander who possibly lives in his Kayak
We do like to share postcards. What you regard as everyday is novel to those of us not in your locality

That is good. Maybe they know instinctively to leave some plant behind so it can carry on growing. Clever deer.
Well done to them!

Oh no. That is terrible. A very stupid thing to do and i hope no-one gets hurts. Otherwise those girls will be regretting that stupid move for the rest of their lives.The only red in our sky since last week has been from the flames sweeping across two local hills.

The local community has been donating supplies to keep the firemen/women going, they have been incredible in difficult and dangerous circumstances.
Many terraced houses here don't have rear entrances, so since they introduced such large bins for recycling and general waste and only collect some once a fortnight, many have to leave their bins on their doorsteps.
Or maybe people are too lazy to take their bins off the pavements even if they could.
Some areas look awful and a French student I once knew used to call Newport 'Bin City'.
That's a very pretty church.
Congratulations to them all - they did very well to get that far!
LOL
They do look alike - sort of - except your daughter is taller.
I think you've had a long, tiring weekend watching all that football Kathy,!
I recommend a long, hot bath and a large glass of wine!

Hi Carol, did you say your SA schools have a 4 term system or am I making that up?

It is really cute. Could you post a pic for us? I would love to see it.

I hope they do live to regret it. When they think of all the wildlife they have killed and the danger they have put people in, they will have a lot on their consciences.
It looks just like the one you posted but I will try to remember to get a pic.
