Nope. Got a string of 1s and 0s instead. :confused:
Happy Women’s Day, Carol! :)

Good evening my lovely roommates.
Still hot in Germany so this evening I will be the vampire again and do things after sunset but: It is never too hot to sing.
Lend me your ears for a sweet silly song that I enjoyed to sing.
I hope you love it like me !:D


That was awesome. So uplifting.

Good evenooning everyone.

I'm home and on my second mug of decaf tea. The drive was fine until I reached the M25 motorway round London which lived up to its reputation as a circular car park [emoji849] It also started raining there too. Back home it was wet and cold - a rather strange experience recently! - and I had to put a cardigan on. It has since dried up and the sun is trying to shine.

I hope you have all had a good day and that Adam hasn't injured his back too badly.

Greetings all.

Up and out kayaking early this morning with a friend on the local reservoir that I frequently visit early in the mornings. We started paddling at 0630 and finished about 1030 and put in a good 12 miles. Cool and less humid at the start, much hotter by the time we ended up.

BUT - the best part was another box turtle rescue! Not from the road, but from the very middle of this massive reservoir. So, I’m paddling along and see this “disturbance” in the water and glide over to see whats up. Lo and behold, it’s a ver tired, medium-sized boxie. I picked him up and paddled to shore to let him go. I’m guessing he got washed in during overnight storms, or accidentally fell in and couldnt back.

So two rescues in the week!

Heres a rough map of our out and back routes..

My vegetable garden is producing to many zucchinis! I sent 12 with my husband last week to give to his co-workers and have been putting it in just about everything I cook. They are producing faster than I can use them.
Anybody know some creative ways to use it? So far I've been making zucchini boats, zucchini sweet bread, zucchini yeast bread, putting it in stews, sauteed, grilled, and fried etc.

I need to add evenooning to my lexicon. [emoji23]
Glad you’re safe home, Linda! Hope your back and shoulder are OK.

Four hours is a lot of paddling! :eek:
More karma points. May the box turtle gods look kindly upon you. :)

Search up zucchini boats. I keep seeing recipes on my FB for one and now can’t find it.

Zucchinis are called courgettes here - but no idea what you do with them!:confused:

Just popped in to see what you've all been up to.
Looks like a busy day was had by all.

I think someone may have swapped tortoises with me.o_O
Lola's appetite has had a sudden turn around and he is still eating really well !!
I thought it may have been a one off when he ate all his food the other day but no!
Thank goodness the waiting to be hand fed is over. :)

Anyway I will say Nos Da now and not see you tomorrow.
Take care.
That is really good news. I am so happy for you and with Lola.
