Good morning, Roommates!
Feeling almost human today, but not quite, that would be too much to ask.
Today I have a bit of teaching and tour writing to do, but mostly I will be washing my tiled floors and putting some rugs, towels and mats down, the beginnings of my winter battening down of the hatches.
Temperatures are dropping!

Good morning, Linda.
Hope you enjoy the tennis.
Last night the Moroccan football team beat Ivory Coast 0-2 and thus qualified for the World Cup in Russia next year.
You could here the roars and cheers from miles away.
Huge street parties followed, you'd think they'd won the tournament.
But fair enough, Ivory Coast used to be a good team and have qualified for the last 3, Morocco haven't qualified for 20 years.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be supporting Morocco of course, though they have about the same chance of winning as England.
Almost nil.

Well done Morocco. That’s quite a win. I’m happy to support Morocco too

Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!
It'll be madness in the cafes in the summer.
But great fun, i should think.

First lesson finished, another in 50 minutes time.
Then some travel writing.
Then I'll be tired.
Ho hum.

Good evening, Gillian.
Oli Kahn is quite drunk and sleeping in Tidgy's enclosure.
Little Oli is still in quarantine under the bed, but has been enjoying his beaked bean soaks and cheesy snacks, I think.

Good evening Adam.

Oli Kahn is sleeping in little Oli's enclosure?! He's mad not only drunk!!

At least little Oli is doing well. What about Tidgy?

So TORTOISE number 2, I actually found this really difficult but here goes, I like

Tortoises (although I think that should go without saying)
Cosy, thick, warm socks
But I think the absolute best thing would be something handmade of wood, pottery, silver etc which is sort of representative of where you live, that would be mighty fine [emoji4]

Dislikes

Anything pink
Brussel sprouts
Kitchen appliances

I have saved you a lot of money then!! I know a couple whose final nail in the coffin for their marriage was when he bought her an electric kettle for Christmas!

I cannot explain how close to explosion I came years ago when JoesDad invested in a massive tv without consultation just before a world cup having told me that we didn't have enough money to replace the kitchen lino which was beyond tatty. That's probably the nearest I came to walking out. I was beyond furious. We consult on big purchases now for some reason

Hello Yvonne, could you please put the answers of the TORTOISE players in the Yyaaaaaaaaaaahhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy thread together ?
Is that possible ? It will be easier to have all the likes and dislikes of the TORTOISE parcipians together.

Yes, it's nice to have an update to an old appliance - but NOT as a gift. Please, husbands, give us something personal as a gift!

Yes husbands, take note!

Good evening Gillian. I am fine.
My old cat is doing better. He shows me that he wants to live. He is so thin and cannot eat well because of a bad throat as a result of the cold. So I give him baby food ( chicken ) mixed with water that he can drink it. When his old kidneys will ""survive" the treatment with antibiotics I think he will make it. In a few days I will know.
Thank you for asking. It pleases me that you think of the old cat.

Good evening Sabine, hope you are well and that your cat is now better.

 

[Bee62]

Good evening CDR and all its lovely roommates here.
Good news from me today: My sick old cat is getting better from day to day and he eats something. He wants to live !
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !

Good evening Sabine, hope you are well and that your cat is now better.

Good evening Gillian. Our post have crossed. Yes, he is getting better and I am happy about that.
