Shame. My colleague also has no smell nor taste. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be not to have taste. The smell most probably would be a bonus in certain situations. Especially after eating Chilli.Well it’s a beautiful Monday here! I am on a Halloween sugar overload.. we trick-or-treated and had a blast. I couldn’t refrain from eating my share. I entered a chili cook off for the festival in my neighborhood and I won 1st place… the funny thing about this is, I have no taste or smell after the Covid so I was cooking ”blind”!!! They also asked contestants to name your chili and it put me on the spot… so the first thing that came to mind was COVID BUSTER???..
anyway, I’ll try to get back on track now! Lol
have a great day!

The zebras are all well. The doves I have had for a good couple of months. The little one that you saw in the pic was an egg that had fallen out of a tree when I was away for a weekend with Stephen's family. My little niece rescued the egg, so I put it in the nest with one of my doves who was already sitting on eggs. And lo and behold it hatched. We think it will be a turtle dove.It's so wonderful to see you post. Looks like you're having fun. Cute torts and are the doves a new endeavor. How are your Zebras doing????
I prefer money too. Sometimes someone wants something that would be too expensive for someone else to gift. So if lots of people give money, then you could get it yourself. Wayyy better. But some people think that money is a terrible gift.It might feel it is the norm for a man, (especially older men). Where for women, some people, may feel it is insulting.
I do agree with @Lyn W, practical gifts are good.
I feel the best thing to do is give someone money so that they can decide what they want to do

Love the second last picGot back Sunday from a week at the beach- Rodanthe , NC. Fishing was great for a few days due to wether, but nothing like beach time even in cool weather. A few day shots and one night shot! Caugt four puppy drums, 3 where slot limit but the wife only came down for one. The flounder was fun but very toothy! The kormorant was looking for a free meal!View attachment 335564View attachment 335565View attachment 335566View attachment 335567View attachment 335568View attachment 335569View attachment 335570

SnapEspecially love the sunset picture!
Is that the pic?
Love your wood projects.Ok, here are two pix from this morning. One “natural” and another with some sanding sealer. The grainy pattern you see is called “spalting”, a result of various fungi acting on old wood.

Nice. I enjoy watching doves teach their little ones. I once got to watch the process. The baby followed around and mimicked every move the parent made on my deck. It was so cute.?The zebras are all well. The doves I have had for a good couple of months.

Nice fish, the great thing about flounder is you get 4 filets from it.Got back Sunday from a week at the beach- Rodanthe , NC.

What type of material are they using for your driveway?I received an email from the City engineer asking when is a good time to coordinate with me about the construction of my new driveway. Yipes! It's getting close. I'm nervous! Somebody pass me the Nervine. Does our pirate carry that?
I assume it would be like for like, which is road base and DG. When they come I'm going to see if I can pay to have them black top it.What type of material are they using for your driveway?

I always give my nephews and nieces the money now unless I know for sure they want something specific.I prefer money too. Sometimes someone wants something that would be too expensive for someone else to gift. So if lots of people give money, then you could get it yourself. Wayyy better. But some people think that money is a terrible gift.
Good night Carol, sleep well.I will try and pop in again tomorrow. Good night all.
