Good evening John. Hope you are well.:D

Am much better. Thanks your concern. It's getting COLD here-UGH! GOD only knows how much I hate cold weather, rain, snow. Imagine me living in Russia. :rolleyes:
You wouldn't cope with Glasgow (near John) let alone Russia :D

Hi Linda, hope you are now well.

So true. Goodness.....the moment Oct begins I start to worry and think about the cold weather getting closer and closer. :( Imagine: a central heating system AND an electric heater don't seem to have any effect, despite the fact that my flat is relatively small. :rolleyes: Can't wait to move to Aqaba down in the South of Jordan where temp in Summer exceeds 50 deg C but in Winter on the other hand it's nice and warm.

I grew up in Yorkshire and we had a lot of fun like that :)

My driving test was cancelled after we had a foot (30cm) of snow down over-night in December.
The thing is that here, we are cautioned NOT to move from home no matter what. For emergencies GOD forbid, we are to call Civil Defense Dept. or Jordan Police Dept. Gosh, what a BORE it is. We get stuck at home 4-5 days at least.

The guys in the pic would have got into real trouble had they been caught.

I weighed Joe today. He's a good 3.338 kg. I'm soaking him daily with no extra heat and no food offered now.

Today's temps a sunny high 16C/61F low 9C/48F.

Looking at the forecast, he'll hibernate in about a week. I'm in no hurry with his weight being so good :)
He's doing well. GOD bless.

Oli does not hibernate, even when it SNOWS here. :confused: Do you have any explanation to this?

Some torts do hibernate even indoors. Or am I mistaken?

The day is getting extremely short here, too. Moreover, Thursday (tomorrow) Winter timing is to begin.
They'll only hibernate if it's cold enough and few homes go below 10C day and night.

They may slow down indoors, but cannot hibernate unless it's cold enough.

I do see what you mean, but when it snowed last year, room temp dropped to 12 deg C!

Thanks a lot your usual help, Linda.

Appreciate it.

Funnily enough I've been hearing music in my head all day today along with the whining sounds.
It isn't actually anyone playing music, it's all part of this tinnitus - just sounds very musical.
Trouble is its the same tune over and over - bit monotonous!
Kelly has that. It's driving her nuts and it's not treatable!
What do you do?

The circuit board in the microwave was toasted.
But I got lucky and found the new version of the same microwave on clearance for $102!!
2/3rds off regular price.
The best part is it used the same holes and same brackets.
New microwave for less than the cost of the board...and the board is not available anyway.

:eek:OMG (I've never used that before :))
I hope this isn't permanent Ed!
I thought it was all to do with this cold.
It changes too .............
At the moment it sounds like big waves crashing in my head
but earlier I popped outside because I wasn't sure if there were really strong gusts of wind out there
but no - all in my head again.
It's getting really annoying now, but the pain is better.

I think Suki was making a midnight snack for herself and put a metal container in the microwave, that would mess it up good and proper.

Some people keep them in fridges to keep the temperature low enough for them to hibernate and make sure they don't wake should there be a spell of mild weather. I think Linda has just bought a fridge for Joe.
