Hey everybody, been a crazy few days here. Unfortunately a police officer was killed not far from my house and the suspect has been on the run. Yesterday they raided a house on my street looking for the guy. I've never seen activity like this around here. There has been helicopters flying around nonstop and police everywhere. Earlier today not far from my house they found and killed the suspect.

That must be pretty scary - I would be keeping all my doors and windows locked until he was caught!

It's got cold here tonight. We have had very slight frosts on a couple of mornings, but only just. Tonight, with a north wind straight from the Arctic, we have had to switch the gas fire on to help out the central heating. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
Chilly here too, which I'm glad about - unseasonably warm weather concerns me these days.
There's snow expected in some northern areas at the end of the week.

There was snow in the Highlands a couple of weeks ago. I doubt anything that falls now will stick around for long. With winds from the North we are always susceptible. Norfolk and the North Sea aren't much of a barrier

Good evening/afternoon fellow CDRers.
Glad to read that you are well and coping with the trials and tribulations of life.
Last week was really busy with and didn't have the time or energy to quickly pop in but I've caught up with you now.
Hopefully my 'home' work will be a little easier this week so should be CDR business as usual.

Booooo.:eek: It`s me and I finally caught up with all posts.:D
For T.O.R.T.O.I.S.E, likes and dislikes ???
The only thing I dislike are scratchy knitted socks. Just as an information for the wool spider ( if she exist ) when she is a secret participant of the game.:eek::D
I dislike cigarettes and cigars but I think no one would send me a cigar ?
If my secret Santa would gift me something of his corner of the world I will be very happy. Just like Carol mentioned that too.
Means I will be happy with everything I get.:):):) ( but no scratchy things and tocacco ):D

I'm trying to catch up... and I'm also trying to locate a hatchling three-striped mud turtle (Bold) who decided to pull a Houdini on me, sometime after I left for work this morning. The other three-striped mud (Pinstripe) isn't talking. Then again, Pinstripe usually doesn't say much.

The yearling box turtle doesn't recall seeing the mud. I don't think she appreciated me digging her out from under her hide to ask her that question, either. She (Junior) doesn't care to be reminded that she is no longer an only turtle.

The cats don't seem aware of any 1.25"-ish moving rock. I asked the cats if they'd seen a turtle. I don't think they know what a turtle is. The turtles are supposed to stay in the bathroom where the cats aren't allowed. Unfortunately, a tiny turtle who's decided to go off-roading can fit under any door in the house. I have no idea where Bold ended up.

In some ways, it would be nice if the cats would all gather where the critter in question is, like they do with lizards, frogs, etc. Then it's pretty clear where I need to look. The cats aren't talking. Dragon got my hopes up earlier, but I think he was just practicing his singing.

Not yet - next week and not a moment too soon!!!
In Leics they had it last week and many schools are off this week but we have to wait a little while longer.
Kent is off this week. My governor schools have all their insets in one go creating a two week half term so they are off next week too.
