LOL!! I haven’t even tried to sing to mine but I may
Lola has it made and you can tell is quite spoiled.. I love to read your stories about him and in my mind can see his mischievous grin when your back is turned.. he obviously knows how to get his way!!!
I think contacting the HA every time they overstep the mark is the way forward now because even though neighbours once owned the house, they are now tenants and the HA could evict them for nuisance and anti social behaviour, so they have a lot to lose.
He really does!LOL!! I haven’t even tried to sing to mine but I may
My sister thinks he has a smiley face - he is probably having a good chuckle at me inside that shell of his!!!
Time for me to say goodnight - the days aren't long enough for me at the moment.
Hopefully things will calm down once I get back into the routine of work and organise my time better, the first couple of weeks back are always the hardest.
So hope everyone has a good Tuesday and I'll not see you soon.
Nos Da

Good night Lyn!
Thank you for my flowers Lena, greatly appreciated.
They are in my virtual vase and the good thing about virtual flowers is that they last forever!
Night Night.

Lola really loves you. [emoji173]️
I think your neighbors were simply describing themselves. [emoji6]
Lovely. [emoji173]️
Careful with hand feeding - we have Lola and Oli, who refuse to eat unless hand fed, and Jacques, who is a diva in her own right. [emoji85][emoji23][emoji173]️
Nah. No one can stop people describing themselves to the world [emoji6] Every insult is directed as much to oneself as to the supposed target.
Try the good old map printed on paper.
There weren’t many of those in Shakespeare’s time either!
Is this a actual plan ? I thought it was history that there was an army base planned.
Never sing songs for your tortoises ! Maybe they refuse to eat without your singing like Lola !!!!!LOL!! I haven’t even tried to sing to mine but I may
I found this..
India is preparing to build a military base in the Seychelles as part of the country's ongoing contest with China for influence in the Indian Ocean. In January 2018, India signed a 20 year pact with the Seychelles to build an airstrip and a jetty for its navy on Assumption Island.Feb 19, 2018
And this
The Indian government’s plan to set up and develop its first overseas military base at Assumption Island in the Seychelles was announced during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Indian Ocean tour in March 2015. Modi visited the Seychelles, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka with a view to boost India’s regional diplomacy and capabilities.
But..... since the agreement was signed, a number of issues and criticisms have cropped up and progress toward its ratification remained slow. The deal has faced immense protest from locals who view the Indian presence in the small island nation as a threat. Various stakeholders in the Seychelles, ranging from politicians and lawyers to government officials, believe that the nation is capable of building its own military base and training its own soldiers, and does not require foreign assistance.
But...in January
On January 27, 2018, then-Indian Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar signed the new “‘revised” agreement for the development of Assumption Island. This revised agreement, supported by Seychelles President Darry Faure, described the project as one of “utmost importance” to the Seychelles and one that “attests to the kinship and affinity that exists between India and Seychelles.” Although there was a proposal to table the agreement in parliament in December 2017, it did not take place.
Although there are various conflicting opinions on India’s Assumption Island military deal, the fact of the matter remains that the deal is still being debated in the Seychelles’ parliament. Since the leak, Faure’s government has ordered a probe. Vice President Vincent Meriton opined that “the deal is still in a conception phase, and there is no clear cost attributed to it at the moment.” The core issue is that both the Indian and Seychelles governments should have taken a stride toward transparency and made the text available to public and the language of the text less ambiguous. Secrecy has only helped in raising suspicions that Seychelles’ interests will be harmed.

Greetings...
Was out doing some garden and yard cleanup today before the heavy rains come later this week with Hurricane Florence. While trimming my Brandywine tomato plants I came across one of those cool things in nature... tomato horn worm larva that has now been attacked by a wasp that lays it’s eggs inside... kills the larva...etc.
Pix of the caterpillar that is hanging on my tomato plant
Here is whats going on there on the back of that caterpillar
The parasitoid wasp, Cotesia congregata of the family Braconidae, also kills M. quinquemaculata.
Here’s How: Adult wasp females lay their eggs inside the skin of the hornworm caterpillar. After hatching, the wasp larvae use the organs and tissues of the caterpillar as food sources before burrowing out of the skin and pupating on the back and sides of the caterpillar. (The white wings on the caterpillar). Once the wasps have emerged from their cocoons, the weakened caterpillar dies. These wasps have also been suggested as a means of biological control of the tomato hornworm

Anyhow, just thought I’d share what’s going on in my backyard...
