3 Good Things - Round 4

Since the third thread of gratitudes is redacted, I'll create a new one;

1. Managed to get a Sunday Lunch, at a local Spar, while supplies were available.

2. Got Manure, off my Mechanic, for growing Spuds; at his Stable.

3. Listened to a Podcast Interview of a Man who talked about Sticks used in Ireland; back in the days.

  • 1. We exchanged contracts on my house sale, completion is set for next Monday 

    2. The temperature has dropped significantly and I feel comfortable again.

    3. I was able to move my HUGE and VERY HEAVY ammonite from the garage where it had been unloaded to our rear garden, I can see it from my chair by the patio doors atm, I hope it will be happy here. 

  • HUGE and VERY HEAVY ammonite

    sounds wonderful and I'm sure it will be very happy where it is appreciated. Was it one you found? I love fossils.

  • I have found some in the past but this one, about 1m at its widest, came from a stall in one of those antiques places with lots of different treasures. It was the mid 90s and a lot of money for a library assistant on the lowest grade. I realised as we were moving the contents of my home how much stronger and fitter I must have been then.

    I have a thing about ammonites and have lots from tiny to this huge one. Did you know they were carnivores? They floated in the Jurassic and Cretaceous seas using the coiled shell behind the endest section where the creature lived as a buoyancy chamber. I studied geology at uni but there wasn’t actually a lot about ammonites in it  Laughing

    Nice! I joined a fossil-hunting club but my knees are not up to it now. Yes, I knew they were carnivores. I also have a trillobite [bought] - I love to gaze at it, it looks so alien. I still find it breathtaking that dinosaurs actually lived - what an amazing place earth must have been at that time.
