COLD DARK ROOM

Packing??! Aaaah! *running around in panic*

Shame. Have a cup of tea and then start again in a less stressed frame of mind.[emoji6]

We only use the metric system here. So obviously we are even further behind.

Hi Carol,
I would think you are ahead of the UK - we use metric and imperial.
We teach the metric system in schools, but then in pubs we still order in pints and halves, our milk still has pints on the labels and we travel in miles and speed is miles per hour. Our weights are usually in grams and Kgs but people still convert it back. It sounds confusing but somehow it works.

That poor plant is really confused. It's June, man.


Stuffed in the back of the garage with no light or water???

Well it obviously liked it enough to thrive up until now. When it comes to plants my philosophy has always been if it is thriving then leave it alone.

 

[CarolM]

Think I overwatered it. They seem to like neglect!

Lol.

Glad you have had a good day and good find on the sanctuary. It is always useful to find a place who can take good care of your babies while you are away.

My sister told me about it.
When I first had Lola I googled tort organisations and came up with the Tortoise Trust and the British Association of Tortoise Keepers and TTF but don't remember seeing that one - which is far closer to me.
Very pleased to have found it. I have to become a member if I want Lola to stay there.

For me the TFO is confusing enough. I have to always google how many centimetres this much inches equals to. What degree celsius this much Farenheit equals to etc etc. Your system would completely confuse me.

I love Weetabix!! It’s my winter cereal!!
Love it warm with some sugar.

I didn't think about it being dyed. Good point.

I knew it was dyed. I didn’t really care for the color but it was a gift.

Well if they look after them well then it will be worth it.

You guys are still miles behind!

That’s inching towards a good pun [emoji849]

Happy Friday, roommates!
Daughter got the first place (among her classmates) at her school’s science fair. “Women in Science” and “Women Who Changed the World” are some of her favorite books. [emoji23]
We’re traveling that side of the Atlantic on Wednesday already!

Well done daughter. Have a great trip!
