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!!
Oh man! So glad to have you back here. We don't need an update if that's what's been keeping you away. You'll get around to it eventually!

Welcome back Lena! We've missed you but appreciate you've had quite a lot on your plate lately - which may be a bit of an understatement!!! Looking forward to seeing pics when you're settled and have time!

Yep, getting plates was among those things... [emoji23]

And, because we had nothing to do at all, we adopted a beautiful elderly dog for a few days while her family is away.

She’s leaving tonight. I was super happy when she arrived — and super happy now that no one will whine in my face tomorrow morning because it happens to be past 7. The double joy of dog-sitting. [emoji23]

Aw she's lovely - maybe not at 7 30 in the morning though!!
A good way to get to know the neighbours though!

Hi Ben! I’m finally done moving to another corner of the CDR. I think the Wool Spider (if she exists) abandoned this corner a long time ago, but it required a lot of dusting. Do you still climb fences to get juicier dandelions on the other side?

Were my intentions that transparent? [emoji23] It seems like a lovely neighborhood, though we do have an “eccentric” neighbour in the back... Speaking of which, hope there’s no news from yours??

How’s your foot?

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:D

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.

For the love of torts! [emoji173]️

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