How long will it take us to get to 10,000 posts?

It’s nice to see things are looking much more bright and sunny up in those nests and all the snow is gone.

@Long Lashes yes I do get the same truck every day, which makes life much easier. If you’d like a good laugh I got my truck in July of 2012. It was brand new. It now has 196,000 miles on it!! So I did a little driving I guess. I’m off today and I gotta say I feel a little bad cause the hub is open and they got destroyed with freight. On the other hand, it’s nice being off and I will get over it. I hope you both are having a good week so far?

Yes, it still looks cold, but the weather is slowly improving at last. It cant be easy living outside


I took this screenshot earlier to show where one of the cameras is in Liberty and Freedoms nest...

that little square thingy on the right of the above camera ^^^ gives us the following view ....

If only Liberty and Freedom would move those big twigs from in front of that little camera ^^^ we would get a better view

That's good to hear. Are you responsible for keeping it clean?

If you’d like a good laugh I got my truck in July of 2012. It was brand new. It now has 196,000 miles on it!! So I did a little driving I guess.

Oh my goodness me! That's a heck of a lot of driving you've done DFF . I guess you must like driving, at least I hope you do ,

I love driving, but I've never done so few miles as I have during these past 12 months, due to pandemic.

I’m off today and I gotta say I feel a little bad cause the hub is open and they got destroyed with freight. On the other hand, it’s nice being off and I will get over it.

Ooo leave them to it, you deserve some precious time off, I'm sure you do more than your share.

I hope you both are having a good week so far?

Yes, thanks this week has been fine.

Our weather has been spring - like today and we actually got out in the garden for most of the day ..,, first time this year. I think I'm addicted to chopping , our bushes, hedges and the straggly bits on trees have all been chopped by me today, its such a satisfying feeling.

I need to ask you something DFF, if I may? Who delivers parcels to you :Clol:


Hope you've had a good week too

 

[Long Lashes]

Only 13 to go!

Thank you @Long Lashes! I didn’t notice the camera sitting there until you pointed it out. That explains the other view, which I love by the way!

Now you see why I don’t like to drive a lot once I get home LOL!! It’s all I do all day. I don’t think I put 100 miles on my car a week cause my car just sits there while I drive my truck everywhere.

Yes we are responsible for keeping it clean, to answer ur question. I keep mine clean but unfortunately most drivers don’t. You wouldn’t believe what I’ve seen!

I’m glad ur weather is good! It must feel nice getting outside and doing all that work a little. I’m sure the lockdown must feel much worse when ur in the house all the time and the weather is dreary.

You made me laugh when you asked who delivers parcels to me. Actually I just have them put on hold at the station and I grab them before I go home but I really don’t get much as there’s currently no lady in the house. But if it wasn’t for women I am aware I wouldn’t have a job LOL!!

You're welcome DFF. and that's my favourite view too. Its the one camera which is physically nearest to any of the eagles. Here we go....

I think this is Freedom, not hundred percent sure, but the male is known to wear guyliner like this and with the camera being so near we can almost see right up his nose





All the eagles were battling the rain and sleet today

This is either Freedom or Liberty ...

and in a similar pose here is Guy in the other nest ....

Synchronised eagles...Lol! Both eagles look like they're trying to mimic an umbrella

Now you see why I don’t like to drive a lot once I get home LOL!! It’s all I do all day. I don’t think I put 100 miles on my car a week cause my car just sits there while I drive my truck everywhere.

Yes, I bet the last thing you feel like doing in your free time is to go out for a drive, I can understand why.

Yes we are responsible for keeping it clean, to answer ur question. I keep mine clean but unfortunately most drivers don’t. You wouldn’t believe what I’ve seen!

Well good for you DFF for keeping it all clean and I dread to imagine what some of the others are like.

I'm just glad you cant see the state my car right now :Clol: ... I intend to sort it this week, now that the weather has improved.

I’m glad ur weather is good! It must feel nice getting outside and doing all that work a little.

It feels great to get outside again. We are not in t-shirts and shorts or anything, like that, we are still in jumpers and jeans, but the sun has been out and its dry, still frosty overnight though.

You made me laugh when you asked who delivers parcels to me. Actually I just have them put on hold at the station and I grab them before I go home

Once I thought of the question I just had to ask you I knew you wouldn't mind.

But if it wasn’t for women I am aware I wouldn’t have a job LOL!!

Really? well I'm shocked, do you think women order more stuff ..Lol! ... Thinking about it, I'm guilty of getting three parcels this last week

I think its because us women are generous and are busy buying things for everyone else . thats my excuse..lol!

Hope you've put your feet up today and chilled out

Here's to another week, but where the hack are these weeks going to? time is speeding by.

 

[Long Lashes]

Down to single figures now..

I don’t think three parcels is so bad @Long Lashes. I go to some houses every day with at least two or three so ur not that bad!

I’d like to tell you I had a relaxing day but I actually took my nephew to play baseball. It was nice though cause with everything going on I haven’t seen him since August. I don’t get to see my family that much anymore cause his mom is at high risk and let’s face it I encounter a lot of people with what I do. Sad but it is what it is. I guess people are afraid to be around me LOL!!

You asked where these weeks go and I have no answer. Time just seems like it goes by faster as we get older, doesn’t it? Like today I watched my nephew drive a car for the first time. And I gotta say that wasn’t for me. I have no kids yet and it made me realize just how fast they grow up.

All that rain and sleet! Those eagles sure have to deal with a lot to keep their home intact. And here I am complaining about how hot it is today over here. Ur not gonna believe I’m saying this ‘Lashes but I wish some of that rain and sleet would make its way down here.

Welcome to todays quiz


Question One - Looking at the photo below, who do you think had been up all night?

Is it ....

A - Lipstick who is sitting down to the right?
or
B - Guy who is stood up on the left?


No prizes for getting it right :Clol:

Crikey! two parcels every day, what on earth could they be buying? :eck:

.... I don't feel too bad now and I've only got one on order this week, but that's a present for someone else.

I actually took my nephew to play baseball. It was nice though cause with everything going on I haven’t seen him since August.

Oh that sounds lovely DFF I bet you had a great time together and he must've been happy to see his uncle again.

I don’t get to see my family that much anymore cause his mom is at high risk and let’s face it I encounter a lot of people with what I do. Sad but it is what it is. I guess people are afraid to be around me LOL!!

This pandemic has a lot to answer for keeping us apart from our family and friends

I hadn't thought about it before, but I imagine you are high risk by seeing so many different people every day, although I'm sure you must take every safety precaution you can. .

Have you any idea when you will get the vaccination DFF? I hope its soon.... that's if you want to have it.

You asked where these weeks go and I have no answer. Time just seems like it goes by faster as we get older, doesn’t it?

Its funny, because as a child I remember a week seemed to last forever and waiting for Christmas was an eternity .... not that I'm getting old or anything

Like today I watched my nephew drive a car for the first time. And I gotta say that wasn’t for me. I have no kids yet and it made me realize just how fast they grow up.

Oh wow! if he's driving a car then that's quite a milestone . Does he have his own car?

I was into my twenties before I got my first car and I'm not prepared to say how many times I needed to take the driving test in order to pass it

 

[DallasFanForever]

That picture is hilarious @Long Lashes!!
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say B.

Yeah, I guess you can say I’m at high risk for the virus considering what I do. I wear my mask in the station as there’s about 150 us walking around. On the road I wear it only when I come into contact with people. I can’t drive with it. It’s sad cause I used to go inside houses with the people I know very well and maybe get a bottle of water or a snack and now that’s all gone. I’m going to some of these houses 23 years and there’s people I would hug when I saw them but now we don’t.

We’re still waiting on the vaccine at our building. I guess we’re soon up on the list from what I hear and I’m looking forward to it now. I was a little afraid of a vaccine at first but now I just want to get back to some kind of normalcy so I would take it.

My nephew doesn’t have his own car yet and I hope he never does LOL!! There’s no shame in ur driving test failures ‘Lashes. I took mine in a blizzard up in New York in 1991. I must have been going 5 mph cause I was so scared of sliding in the snow. By some miracle I passed.

Looking to my right I notice we’re only 5 posts away from 3800 now!!

Yes! how did you know?




Its all quiet in eagle-land at the moment, I need to check out when the eggs are due for hatching?



I wonder what these two are looking at?

Its good to hear you have the appropriate PPE provided for you. I've seen some people driving with a mask on when they're alone in the car, I don't see the point in that at all.

It’s sad cause I used to go inside houses with the people I know very well and maybe get a bottle of water or a snack and now that’s all gone. I’m going to some of these houses 23 years and there’s people I would hug when I saw them but now we don’t.

You've obviously built up a trusting relationship with the people you visit, I bet they miss having you around too.

We’re still waiting on the vaccine at our building. I guess we’re soon up on the list from what I hear and I’m looking forward to it now. I was a little afraid of a vaccine at first but now I just want to get back to some kind of normalcy so I would take it.

I was also nervous about the vaccine at first, but like you I just want to get back some normality. Luckily I've had my vaccination (last week) and I felt such relief afterwards.

My nephew doesn’t have his own car yet and I hope he never does LOL!!

I know, its a scary thought Our eldest has a car now and I cant help feeling on edge until he returns home safely.

I took mine in a blizzard up in New York in 1991. I must have been going 5 mph cause I was so scared of sliding in the snow. By some miracle I passed.

Wow, you did so well to pass your test in such atrocious weather, well done to you

My problem was that when I failed, I was so distraught (silly I know) that I refused drive again for a couple of years...I was so stupid wasting all that time.





I like your new avatar DFF, it looks fab! :10:

Looking to my right I notice we’re only 5 posts away from 3800 now!!

Yaay! at last. We have missed the dead-line, but who cares?

 

[Long Lashes]

Just Two To Go!

:bump:​

 

[DallasFanForever]

I don’t know @Long Lashes !!! Those eagles look very serious to me today. I feel like we’re intruding LOL!!

I see people driving with their mask on while they’re alone in the car as well. I don’t get it either. Personally I think it hinders ur vision. I’ve left it on by mistake sometimes after a stop and I notice I can’t see as well, so I would imagine it’s even worse for the older people to drive with them.

I’m glad you had ur vaccination. I would imagine it does provide some instant relief. Any word on when the lockdown will end for you over there?

I’m glad I’m not alone when it comes to worrying about our kids driving now. I know exactly what you mean! I’m texting my nephew all the time and driving him nuts until he gets home. I think I’m way worse than his parents but I really don’t care.

I wouldn’t say it was silly or stupid at all waiting two years after failing ur road test. We all react differently to failure. When I fail I tend to do the same. I get flustered easily and it’s a long time before I try again. The people close to me get all over me about that and they are right but that’s who I am.

I’m glad you like my avatar! I downloaded quite a few and I’m gonna keep switching them out every couple of weeks. See? You and Michelle created a monster now!! I warned you both!! I can’t have technology at my disposal I guess.

We’re just 1 post away now!!!

I've missed so much over the past two weeks. I traded in my old car with nearly 208,000 miles for a newer model. That took much of my attention the first week and I had internet issues earlier this week. I have to go back and re-read all the comments. I'm sorry I haven't kept-up with everything. I had to make it back before the Eagles' eggs start to hatch hopefully sometime next week.

I think you could devote a chapter to each plant . . they each have their own stories and then the final chapter could see them all living happily ever after together in your home.

Not that I'm trying to tell you what to do or anything

That will be a long book with all my plants. I do like this book idea. :bravo:

I guess it must've come as a shock if she didn't give you any warning of being unwell or anything Yes, a Croton would be a good addition, it would be another no-drama plant to have around.

I have looked for Crotons to replace the dead one but they are no where to be seen as of now. BTW, I did purchase a rescue Orchid on 20 February while I was away from TT. Her name is Winter Star.

:coffeelaugh: ... I see you're having one of your funny-moments again!

We'll see who will be laughing as my hotness reigns supreme.

Thank you for this it was very informative and those poorly Poinsettias looked a lot like my Hope. Maybe she will eventually get some new leaves growing?

How is Hope doing? I hope some good news.

My Pinkie Poinsettia has decided to stay in the realm of the living and has started to sprout small pink leaves from her stem. Good news as I was worried about this plant.

Yes, that was fab too!


She is looking skeletal, but has retained her red leaves and I've just noticed she has some new small red leaves growing, but no sign of any green leaves.

Red leaves are normal until it gets warmer and they get more Spring light. Any leaves are good.

This is good to hear

I will keep Hope as comfortable as I can and leave it up to her if she wants to live on.

I so hope Hope has decided to stay with us. ray:

I was at the hairdressers one week before Christmas, so I'm well over-due for a snip or two .

Have you had your hair cut since I vanished two weeks ago?

I hope the snow is easing up for you. The snow our Eagles have look powdery too. Is the temperature very cold where you are?

It is cold and windy here today. Some warm days have melted the snow.

How is your weather?

 

[DallasFanForever]

Welcome back Michelle!! We definitely missed you!! 208,000 miles? Wow! You obviously take very good care of ur cars. How long did you have it if you don’t mind me asking?
