Good morning CDR.

I've just take JoesDad to the station as he's working in London today.

Later I'll be taking our daughter to work... and then picking her up... except I realised as I typed this that JoesDad's car is on the drive so, s0d that for a game of soldiers, she can take my car and I don't need to spend the day taxi driving

Good morning.
I had yesterday off. (Jewish holiday.)
I didn't get much done with the house because as I was removing the "STICK-ON" kitchen base, wall molding, it removed a lot of cement from the wall. That's some good glue. So I had to patch the cement and today I'm installing the new, better looking stuff and painting it before I get to laying the new kitchen flooring.
I'm installing it on top of the existing vinyl flooring.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Getting ready to go on over to vote. (calendar)
I'm also voting for president today. We get the absentee ballots. Though i don't remember why we receive them. It allows us to vote early.....

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I voted on the calendar pics.
a lot of the photos looked distorted. If they will look like that on the calendar, then they are bad photos. If they will look normal in the calendar, then some members are getting screwed out of votes.
There were a couple that I otherwise would have considered.

Still 5 hours left of voting on Day One of the Calendar Contest, but it's very exciting so far.
Some of the pictures have been squashed so Tidgy kind of looks taller and thinner than she should as do some of the others.
Pictures 13 to 16 all look like the tortoise is flat and have only picked up a couple of votes between them.
Not sure this is representative of the actual look of the torts.
Tidgy is asleep but will be moderately pleased with her performance so far.
But i don't think she's going to make it this year, but it's the taking part that's the main thing and there are so many lovely photos of lovely torts and turtles, i still haven't decided which to vote for.
See you all tomorrow, folks.
Leila saida.

That is NOT the look of the actual torts: one of those is my Elsa. She has a lovely, high domed carapace but the way they've done the photo she's squashed flat- looks awful.
I'm very disappointed.

i agree, the pictures fot the comp could be better, far too stretched

YES!!! Elsa's photo was really pretty AND hubby made sure it was even BETTER than the required 5 pixels. Her beautiful, round, smooth carapace has been squashed flat as a Russian. She looks awful- nothing like herself.

good morning ed

Morning

 

[ZEROPILOT]

If we are to vote on the photos that we actually feel are the best photos...It's a shame that we can not.

 

[johnandjade]

Morning
