COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi Adam. I can sleep when I am dead ....
Yes, a nice night flight would be great.
Until then I have prepared something for you a week ago. I hope you have fun with it and always remenber: ".... all I`m taking is your time...."
For you Adam:

Thank you so much, Sabine, that is beautiful!
I shall copy it to file.
I think the dog rather liked it as well
Lovely.

Hi Adam, Lola is up and about but not eating much.
He has just tucked into some nice young and fresh dandies but not enough to say he has had a really good meal.
I'm hoping the dandies will start to grow better with the rain we've had but they are slow!
Hope you have a good day too.

It's a positive step, at least!
Well done, Lola.
No dandies here, all burnt to a crisp.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Adam, I hope your feeling better today!

Yes, thank you, Kathy, I feel great!
Hope you are well also!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I always behave myself, Carol

Ahem.

No it doesn’t need heat!

It can be cool. He may need additional basking heat to jump start his tort in the morning, but at night the tort should be fine.

Please guys. You lot are confusing the issue with different species and/or locations

Ah that's where the heat for Joe came into it - my mistake - with apologies.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sorry. No postcards I forgot to take pictures.

We had a good morning out though. Not a huge range of birds, but that’s the time of year as much as anything.

Oh, well, very glad you had a nice morning anyway.

 

[Lyn W]

All quiet on the western front from neighbours but she has pulled everything she had against my little fence away from it.
Making a point about the condition of it no doubt, whilst conveniently forgetting they've had fence panels against the back of it for the last 12 years so no way to maintain it.
I'm assuming the HA has been in touch with her.
Anyway must pop to the shops so see you all later.

Can I suggest we make it CDR rule that Tortoise issues are not discussed in this thread?

Trying to offer advice to relative newbies in this thread is a disaster waiting to happen as people can’t easily see advice previously offered.

I suggest we direct people to create a thread in the correct forum and then they can alert us to it by posting a link in the CDR.

With that in mind, @rjamesbeasley I am happy to chat to you in here, but please would you create a thread in the accommodation or Hermanni forums if you need more help

Yuk! How big is that Scorpion?

In France a few years ago there was quite a large one living in the overflow for the Butler’s Sink in the utility room. I managed to catch it and remove it outside well away from the house * shudders *

We don’t have any native scorpion species in the UK thank goodness. There is a small population of yellow-tailed scorpions living in the wild in Sheerness Docks not far from where I live. They undoubtedly came in on a boat, but the UK weather has ensured they haven’t spread

I completely understand because I’m the same way.. the cost of shipping can’t be but a few dollars.. I would just have to google the best way to cut you a piece... This tree is strong. It was split in half by lightning several years ago and my husband wired it back together. It has since grown back and expanded. I had to cut it back last week!

Wow. That is a strong tree.

Yes.... here is a good article on how some figs are “pollinated”. - http://mentalfloss.com/article/8534...d-probably-results-you-eating-mummified-wasps

For a long time, there was a great Fig Forum based out of California. Somehow, i recall from those forum days, that most of the fig wasps were only noted in some California grown figs.

But....for the most part, any remnants of the pollinator are gone by the time a fig is consumed

• While we don’t eat the figs in which the female usually lays her eggs, occasionally one makes it into the wrong flower, where it dies having not fulfilled its life’s purpose. Those are the sad little insects we end up consuming.
• Don’t worry though—not only are the wasps itsy bitsy, but by the time you’re cutting a fig up to put in your morning yogurt, the bug has been (at least mostly) broken down by an enzyme called ficain.

It’s all really an interesting process.

It most certainly is.

Yes, got a pretty large potato, and the local kids had set up an onion stall outside, they ambushed me on my walking by them, so I bought onions there, nice quality and cheaper than the medina, and no distance to carry!
Marvelous.

Awesome. Clever kids.

 

[CarolM]

Good afternoon, Carol .
I don't think there's an awful lot of sense in here, no.
Happy birthday to your son for tomorrow.

Thank you Adam.

 

[CarolM]

Don't they always?

No not always. And alot of the time not for human females.

 

[CarolM]

I am?
Oh, yes, 46,007! That's quite a lot.
But Yvonne has a mighty 74,328, that's a huge number! WOW!

That is huge. Well done Yvonne.

It’s super super tiny! Like just born tiny!
She is not happy and then 5 minutes later she found a pincher bug.

I guess scorpions can have 100 babies!!

I told my husband we need to get her baseboards up. We haven’t done it since we redid her room.

Who knows how it got in. I’m not thrilled either!

 

[CarolM]

Adds up. Good luck with the birthday. Hope it’s better than having a kiddie party.

Shame. He is writing a test tomorrow so will only be finishing at 8pm. And he also has two assignments he has to complete. So won't be much celebrating.

 

[CarolM]

Hello, Everybody!

Hi ya Yvonne.

 

[CarolM]

Hello roommates! I’m having a Wonderful Wednesday. Hope everybody else does too!
Just saw a new sign outside our Drunken Penguin bar:
