Oh well climbed young Merlin. Joe was a master step climber. He loved nothing more than to tackle the steps into our house given half a chance. It was a bit of a shock one day when I had answered the front door and got rammed in the ankle by a tort that definteoy shouldn't have made it that far!

The animal must be killed by having it's throat cut with a very sharp knife whilst appropriate prayers of thanks are made. The animal is then strung up so as much blood as possible can drain from the carcass. That's it in a nutshell, at least here.
A friend of mine is a British Muslim from Leeds. She came to Morocco and tasted her first ever McDonalds as thy're Halal here, but aren't in most of the UK so she'd never been able to have one. Travel to Morocco to have a burger!
Leeds United are playing their first game of the new football season this afternoon. We will both be watching with interest.

Well Leeds were excellent and won 3-1 against Stoke City, one of the favourites for Promotion.
But lets not get too carried away, we had an excellent start last season and then, after a couple of months, lost a game and went to pieces.

Annddddd I have now caught up again. Sjoe it is hard work (NOT). I love it when there are lots of posts and the CDR has been busy. Makes my life a little less boring.
It is windy and cold here in the Cape. With a new week to look forward to. Still haven't won the lottery, so got to carry on working for now. That Lottery is going to be mine one day......eventually. In ten days my Eldest (Liam) will be turning 20. It is actually very strange to know that he will be twenty, as I tend to think of my boys as being my babies still. But they do need to grow up at some point I suppose.

@Lyn W - I really really hope that the Police woman makes it round to your neighbours so that they can sort them out. Did Lola behave over the weekend and has the little doggie gone back yet?

Now to sit back and enjoy the response posts coming in.

Thanks for asking Carol, I don't know how you remember everything!!
Lola had his usual weekend not eating much and is still very active, but has been feeding himself today
He is currently tucking in to some lovely fresh ribbon plantains - all hand picked and individually washed and soaked and served on a slate platter!
Michelyn Star stuff!!!
The pooch is back with owners and is a real cutie and not at all aggressive towards Lola - but no chances were taken as I know all too well that could change in a heartbeat! He didn't really take any notice of him at all.
Now may not be the right time for me to have a dog though.
No PO still.
Hope you are having a good day in spite of work and the weather.

@Yvonne G - So glad we can entertain you with our lives, and will endevour to carry on doing so. Did you ever sort out your cat peeing porblem btw?

Are you talking about the cat peeing on my evaporative cooler? It happens on and off all the time. Anytime a cat decides to go up on the roof. Right now there is no cat pee smell. If only I could figure out how to keep them off the roof.

I vote for Group Hug #9!!![emoji173]️

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That is really funny. Tidgy playing football. How good is she ?

She tends to kick the ball away and then loses interest.
She's a little afraid of balls moving but is quite good at dead ball situations and penalties.

 

[Lyn W]

Knowing your neighbors, pretending to be a shrub in your garden could be the most dangerous work in the world!

Yes it is - she could get the chop !!!
I wonder if pruning a PO is an offence!

 

[Moozillion]

We don’t see a lot of Elsa these days because it’s so dang HOT! She is a very smart girl, and comes out to eat a little in the morning and evening, but mostly estivates. I’m trying to follow her example but the household chores don’t seem to get done when I estivate...[emoji38]

 

[Lyn W]

Have a good day too !
I have some proposals for "group hug" pics...... What do you think about them ?

[EllieMay]

So which one do you prefer — Heather or EllieMay?

I don’t have a preference... but if you all start calling me Heather, I may feel guilty until I get everyone’s real names in sync with usernames[emoji6]

Thank you for the pics. Merlin is a beauty.
Hermann`s tortoises are excellent climbers. It suprises me not where he proudly sits.
Unfortunately they sometimes get lost when they climb out of an outdoor enclosure.

Hubby and I are planning for a visit to the UK, but must pay off some debt first. The current projected date is sometime in 2021. Three years is longer than I’d like to wait, but Reality must be acknowledged! [emoji636]

By then Bea climate change might have really kicked in, so you may want to come in Dec or Jan for comfortable weather and to avoid the heat of our spring and summer!
or we could be going through an ice age

 

[Kristoff]

It is an old pic of Kristoff I think ?
I love it too.

It is. Thank you [emoji173]️

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hello, handsome! I don’t believe we have met...

 

[Lyn W]

I think they have a ball playing in trousers..

I think they definitely had one or two in the ferret legging contest!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

This one is beautiful with all its colors.

Better than diamonds.
And rarer too!

 

[Kristoff]

Wow ! Soooo many questions to soooo many roommates. Well done Carol.
In my case, sad and good news. One lamb died a few weeks ago. The dark one. It was the "black sheep" from the beginning on. The other developed well and is nearly as big as her mother. I have to take new pics.

Sorry to hear about the black one!

[Lyn W]

Oh no ! When Lyn is a policewoman she gets introduced in every neighbour quarrel in the whole town. That`ll be too much for her I think ..

I don't like confrontations so I wouldn't make a good PO.
Mind you - they may behave better if they see the uniform on the washing like and think I've joined up

It would be amazing if you could also see a couple of roommates! Exciting plans and well worth the wait! [emoji173]️
