COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

i am very happy and full of lamb kebabs.
How about yourself?

Good thanks - but it took me 2 hours to change the sidelight bulbs in my car ready for the MOT tomorrow.
Was just planning to do one but once I'd done it the other looked so faded I had to do that one too.
Ffound out I'd bought the wrong bulbs so had to and get others.
The hardest bit was putting the whole light units back.
They make cars so fiddly these days.
Not exactly the quick job I thought it was going to be.

I have a vague idea what you're talking about.
Like the Welsh prefix to 'found out' particularly.

Depends how long you're going for.
A few days not eating won't do him any harm, but otherwise you'll need a sitter (and I know that's not very likely) or consider taking him with you if it's only internally in Jordan, as long as you can get a suitable habitat for him at the other end.
Another alternative would be hibernating him this year, but I know you don't want to do that.

Well, I am planning to stay for five days to one week. The problem is that Aqaba (the city) is 400 km far from Amman, which is about 4.5 hours non-stop by bus! In other words I cannot go just to spend a day or two. It just wouldn't be worthwhile.

As you mentioned, a sitter is out of question. I did think of taking OLI along with me, however even here there is a 'problem:' I do not think animals are allowed on buses(or public transport generally), here in Jordan, but I'm going to have to check. If they are, hotels won't allow him in! See why I did not get a pet for so long here? I have a feeling I am going to have to hibernate him whether I like it or not.

Thanks SO MUCH your usual help Adam. Appreciate it.

I know Aqaba, modern city, old centre, under mountain by the sea with lovely beaches.
You could brumate him just for that little period, so he'd sleep while you're away, and then you wake him up when you get back and check on him.
i'm pretty sure that should be okay.

Yes, that would be the best of the worst, I think.

You seem to have stuck the pirates leg......
Well it's unmentionable.
