COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I just noticed Bold basking on the artificial log in the mud turtle enclosure. I would try to get a picture, but I'm pretty sure Bold would just take to the water as soon as I made a move.

Isn"t that always the case. [emoji23] [emoji23]

I still haven't caught up from earlier this week, but has anyone heard from @Ray--Opo lately? Isn't he supposed to be having surgery today?

Now that is amazing. I have forgotten. @Ray-Opo Good luck and I hope it went well.

I skipped around a bit, getting caught up in the CDR. In the real world, I've been lying down on the bed, with kitties for company and tiny turtles (their tank is on the dresser) for entertainment.

Although right now Whoosh is blocking the view...

Whoosh away!!

 

[CarolM]

Good evening all.
Linda hasn't been here for a couple of days either, I hope she hasn't had a relapse and is poorly again.
Hope all is well @JoesMum

Ditto that.

Oh sweet. You are right it is cute.

Quick bowl update..... long story short, although my pix looked good, there were some minor “tool” marks that we didnt like and felt they kind of detracted. Without fixing those marks would show even more in the staining/oiling process. Soooooo, I redid some of the inside of the bowl this morning, and successfully removed those marks. It’s worth giving everything 110% so it looks good in the end.

Once the marks were gone, I resanded a bit more today...only a few more sanding grits to go and it will be time to apply some finish.

Here’s a picture of the original block of wood I started with and where we stand today.

Where We are Today

It is gorgeous. Love love it.

I've been conscious this afternoon. Does that count?

Totally. And when you have been conscious for more than 20 minutes that is even better.[emoji6]

Had my surgery today. Everything went fine and next week I have a doctor's appointment to find out exactly everything done Also will find out recovery time.

Welcome back and very glad it went well.

Ditto that.

Yep. I’ve also had @JoesMum on my mind for a few days now. [emoji173]️

Good mornooning, roommates! Haven’t caught up yet but wanted to wish everyone a splendid Saturday! I’m in the middle of daughter’s Russian, and then we’ll head to meet some new Turkish friends. Very multicultural of us. Almost like the CDR itself! [emoji85][emoji56]

Ray,good that you are baack! And can type too. Did Opo miss you?

Happy Saturday. I’m hoping our laid up CDR peeps can rest and get well. Lots of crud and coughing and being under the covers/weather and in the weather and under the surgeon’s knife x 2.

Here overcast dark and grey. The rain and yucky stuff that was out West earlier this week is descending upon us today. Calling for a full day of rain followed by strong gusty winds. = no kayaking.

Good opportunity to finish up “The Bowl” .

Good morning! The weather called for thunderstorms here all day but now it looks like we may miss most of them. Yay!! High’s in The 60’s. My Brother is coming in this morning and my Dad this evening so I’m cooking supper for the “other” men in my life!!! They will stay tonight and both head back to their business in the morning.. I’m really looking forward to it! Hope every one feels well end gets some enjoyment out of the day!

I think so too. Stable people buy homes in Vegas for a good job. Lots of people wear cowboy hats too...I would.

My nephew is still working on ships as an engineer, so his job takes him all over the world to join his ship. He is hoping to eventually get a job with a company that would only be an internal flight away. His fiance is an events organiser in Vegas and seems to be doing pretty well.
I've not seen either of them in cowboy hats yet - but give it time!!

That's good news, Ray. Glad you're OK and hope recovery won't take too long

You will have to ask your nephew about this little “meeting” between two cruise ships.....

I have visitors today too, and a big family lunch tomorrow to celebrate a couple of birthdays.
Hope you have a lovely time with your Dad and Bro, Heather
