@Yvonne G I see you lurking on other threads, but no check in's here. Did we upset you or something? We are missing you.
@DE42 Are you Okay. We are getting really worried, as we haven't heard how you are doing lately. Did the medicine help you at all?
@Laura1412 How are you and your back doing?
@Kristoff it has been rather punless while you have been away. We need you back home.
@Bee62 It has been nice that you have been able to pop in lately for a little while. How is your leg doing today?
@Lyn W You and I always seem to miss each other. Is Lola still being a Diva?
@JoesMum wan't it laundry and ironing day for you today?
@Maro2Bear can't wait to see the finished Shed after you paint it with the new colour. BTW when you are done there, I need my house painted.;)
@ZEROPILOT How are you doing, haven't heard from you in a While.
@Bambam1989 love that recipe. I have a biltong (dried beef maker) and I will be trying your recipe out this weekend.
@Toddrickfl1 How did the jelly recipe work out? Did you ever do it?
@Momof4 Have your recovered from your camping trip and soccer/football matches yet?
@mrnewberry ewberry how are the sprouts doing, they must be getting bigger by now?
@Dipa, long time no see! How are you doing?
@Gillian Moore How are you and Oli doing? Are you also experiencing some heat waves and or too much rain. Not sure which is the correct one for you at the moment.

Well, I am leaving work now and it is off to the shops, making supper and going to try and get a walk in, in the vlei before it gets too dark. I want to get in some photo's of the bird life etc for you guys. It will depend on when I am done with the chores though, so hopefully they go quickly.
Hi Carol - it's not often we are in here the same time so we do misee each other.
Yes, Lola is still being quite difficult and refusing to stay outside or getting really stressed about being left out.
But on a more positive note, it seems he will feed himself when he's hungry and today he has eaten more during the day than he has for a long time.
So no more feeding by hand he just has to get on with it.

Lola's agrophobia is lonstanding and I really don't know that you will ever crack it. At least he is starting to eat now!

Well done on the tough love. It is tough on you to enforce it but the reward feels so much better when it works and they get the idea.

Hi Linda, yes that is a relief!
It's incredibly time consuming hand feeding. I don't know how Gillian copes.
He is still picky and refusing weeds, but will try just putting those down next and see if he changes his mind.
That is very strange considering he has always enjoyed them before.
I'm going to see the sanctuary where they tort sit on Sunday in case I ever need to book him in, but doubt they would take him if he needed to be fed.

Good luck and give us feedback.

It's incredible how quickly he became used to hand feeding.
Up until he was ill he always fed himself.
I think he has had me well trained!!!

The omens weren't good. Carol called the other semi final correctly, Federer lost and then England did too. Agh well, it's only sport. It means we aren't arguing over whether we watch Wimbledon or the World Cup Final on Sunday :D
Oh dear I take it England lost then.
An Englishman in Swansea painted red stripes on his white house to turn the front of it into the English flag.
His Welsh wife was not impressed!
She thought he was just going to paint a small flag!

Hi everyone

I spent far too long watching Roger Federer losing to Kevin Anderson (13-11 in the 5th set). As a Federer fan it was very stressful.

And 90 minutes later I have to cope with Croatia v England. Not good!
Did Nadal win? That was a close match but I missed the last set.
