COLD DARK ROOM

[Ben02]

Austria was well and truly taken over by the Nazis during the war. Vienna was and is the capital.

That cafe is lovely though. I have been there too

They have delicious cakes

A small hotel that I stayed in when I went to Italy was the background to a picture of Hitler and the Italian dictator who I can’t spell his name properly.

I find it disturbing how I keep stumbling across places where Hitlers been, it’s happened 3 times now

Our office reserved a few tables there a few years ago and we all enjoyed fine cakes and torts AND were fascinated by who the old regulars were...

The café was opened in 1876, and in the late 19th century it became a key meeting place of the Viennese intellectual scene. Key regulars included: Peter Altenberg, Theodor Herzl, Alfred Adler, Egon Friedell, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Anton Kuh, Adolf Loos, Leo Perutz, Alfred Polgar, Adolf Hitler, and Leon Trotsky. In January 1913 alone, Josip Broz Tito, Sigmund Freud, Joseph Stalin, Hitler, and Trotsky (the latter two being regulars) were patrons of the establishment.​

Massive thunderstorms just rolled through our area... Sully, tucked away back in her outdoor enclosure.

Hard to believe there is an 80 pound sully behind there!

He's having a really hard time still. He's still kind of incoherent today and in a hospital too far away. I managed to get him too laugh by phone today. You don't wanna know what I said.

He is lucky to have you.

 

[CarolM]

[CarolM]

Good mornooning all. Busy day today.

Ironing done before it gets too hot. I am about to have my hair cut and then I must go to the supermarket. And at 5pm I have my training at the Wildlife Rescue. [emoji4]

Good luck with the training and enjoy it. Which I know you will, considering how much you love wild life especially birds.

Especially for the winter months.

Nope, I would however believe that it was either Pinstripe or Bold who might have done it.!! Just to get back at you for all those photos.

Hrmmm... Now that you mention it... Bold and Pinstripe might have had something to do with it. Even if they just put the cats up to it.

Goodmorning everyone. Happy 4th of July. Opo got up this morning and went grazing in his new area. I definitely need to landscape. View attachment 275907

All you have to do is put a few things in there... which Opo will arrange and rearrange to his liking!

We had heavy rain and thunderstorms, much closer than normal (for us). Instead of getting the lightning flash... pause... thunder rumble rumble rumble... We were getting the lightning flash with the thunder (boom!) right behind it.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Any one know what tort this i

I think it’s a South American grass hopper.

Oh, we may have those somewhere in Florida anyway... Just another one of the invasive species...
