Good mornooning, roommates! Sorry I was unable to check in yesterday. Hope everyone is doing well, and all the new critters — torts and dogs — are settling in well. Also hope everyone’s work week will get easier now that we’re at the half mark.
I guess it’s Adam’s birthday in about a week. Have you made any diplomatic progress, @Bee62?
Oh, I dreamed of Kristoff and Elsa last night. Made me so happy! I thought, while still dreaming, I must tell my roommates that I got to see them... Amazing how one little shelled friend (Kristoff, because he came in our life first) changed my entire attitude to reptiles. [emoji173]️
Adam`s birthday is the 22 of September when I am right. I think he will come back then. Hopefully.:oops:

While they're CALLED "tomato horn worms," these #%$@! critters do NOT limit themselves to tomatoes!!! I first found out about these things when something was STRIPPING the leaves from my heritage rose in my front yard! I couldn't see anything on them in the daytime, so I went out at night with a flashlight, saw these crazy looking things chowing down on my rose bush. I picked them off with tweezers, dropping them in a can of alcohol so they would DIE!!!!! :mad: When I looked them up later, lo and behold they were tomato horn worms!!!!! My next door neighbor grew tomato plants all along the fence line between our yards, so I figure that's where they came from.
I LOVE my roses!!!! NO DEATH IS TOO BAD FOR THINGS THAT EAT MY ROSE BUSHES!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Step away from the knives Bea... step away... yes, that’s right.... and don’t touch that axe...

Come on Bea, let’s have a nice cup of tea... nothing to see here... come on....

Good afternoon all. I have just caught up. It’s cold and miserable here today - only 14C :(

I am just heading out to get my flu jab... I may need cake to recover ;)

And I’m done. Just need to avoid those germs for the next couple of weeks :D

I arrived back to a delivery of the latest thing for my garden

It’s an Italian Cypress. The variety is Totem which grows slowly and is very narrow, 50-100cm/2-3ft, and tall. It is also suited to the dry conditions we have here in the extreme south east of England.

JoesDad’s job at the weekend will be digging a hole for it while I make sure it is planted straight!

On Sunday a Roommate arrived in Morocco for a ten day tour, on my recommendation.
She spent a couple of days with her tour group visiting some of the cities en route and on Monday night arrived in Fes, unfortunately too late to meet up.
Staying just for two nights at the Hotel Splendid. (which really isn't) .
The internet and WIFI were dodgy so it was hard connecting, but she would be doing the tour of Fes Medina the next day, and knowing where they go, I would try to locate her.
The next day, I set off went down the steps into my local veggie souk and who should be coming down the next set of stairs but the Roommate in question!
Amazing!
Just 5 minutes from my house and so we spent half an hour chatting, got on very well, I was pleased to hear she was very much enjoying Morocco.
I also met her tour guide and some of her travelling companions who were very nice.
But then the local tour guide (different from the country tout guide) asked me to leave, though I was not interrupting him or criticizing, but he didn't realize I knew one of the group and declared me a security risk, thinking I had just latched on. I offered to pay, but he sent me away. (he later apologized to the group when he found out I knew someone there.
Never mind, all that walking in the heat would have done for me, so we met up in the late afternoon, after the tour had finished, at the Hotel Splendid.
The lovely Roommate brought me some gifts from England! :)

Four lots of cheese for me! :<3::<3::<3::<3:wo
Two lots of Komodo tortoise pellets for Tidgy, Fruit&Flower flavour and Dandelion flavour!:tort::<3::tort::<3:

So who is this mysterious roomie and why hasn’t he/she declared themselves on here? The mystery deepens!

It seemed beer was the requirement of the thirsty Roommate, so we went to a local bar, only to find it was closed as it was Arab New Year, even though half of my friends in the medina were unaware of this.
So we went to the bar of our favourite hotel, the Batha, which I knew was open, having been there earlier in the day.
We had a lovely evening, great fun, it's always slightly worrying when you meet someone for the first time, having only communicated via the internet, indeed, her daughter had given mum semi-serious warnings about crazy internet loony killers and had a message for me saying how angry she'd be if I murdered her mum.
But we got on great, it was a terrific evening, :<3:but today she's off in to the Atlas Mountains and down into the Sahara Desert.
Just a very brief meeting, but really, really nice, wifey very much liked her too! :)
Can you guess who it was, yet? :confused:
