Blimey! Look at the time!!
It's 00.35 here so I'd better hit the hay or I'll meet myself getting up when I'm going to bed.
Happy Thursday everyone - the weekend is around the corner!
Take care and Nos Da

I know what you mean as far as Xmas cards are concerned. But I miss books, which are not available any more, here. :(

Oh rain is definitely essential for plants as well as human beings. Droughts here every now and then. :( Prayers take place for rain.

What kind of books do you like Gillian?

Lyn, it’s nice to read you again. You’ve been absent for a time and were missed. Hope all is well! I was getting ready to do a steak out on your neighbors and make sure you weren’t in their evil grasp!

I received a parcel from the absolutely incredible Sabine today. @Bee62 . :<3:
WOW ! ! ! ! ! !
It weighed about 10 kg, nearly killed me getting it back from the Post office. (not that I'm complaining)
Here is the empty bow as I emptied it too quickly for wifey to get a photo of it full.

Lots of lovely, delicious and most welcome goodies : English Breakfast Tea, Marmalade (which we've run out of, that's for Christmas) Killer Coffee, Two tins of German sausage meat, (also Christmas) cigarettes (Christmas) and a shed load of throat sweets for after the cigarettes. And two containers of Tidgy Treats (big one for Christmas)

Everything looks great except the cigarettes because I don’t smoke.
Did she use ice packs for the cheese?

We get those as well: school books, university, college etc. But nothing else.
I should have clarified. The kids have a reading period and they have to bring a book with to school to read, be it non-fiction or fiction but it has to be a actual book. No kindles etc are allowed. We still have lots of book stores as well.

She looks rather sweet and not scary at all (if she exists)

Indeed she is.
Simply wonderful.
I understand she's not been on for a bit?
Problems with her skin?
The last we heard, she was moving one of her enclosures and in the process was scratched by it. The scratch became infected and she had to go on antibiotics, which for Sabine is a big deal considering she does not like taking medicine. I really hope that she is okay.

Good Morning all,

Just two more sleeps then we are on weekend. Sorry Lena, you still have 4 more sleeps then you can have your break. Linda I hope your travels are safe and that you have an awesome time. I am looking forward to the postcards. I was going to do my voting this morning, but still need to check if there are still missing entrants.

Yep, There are still missing entrants. So will wait until we are advised that they are up and we can go and vote. Although it does say on the thread that everyone will need to vote again due to the missing entrants. So if you have already voted, you will need to do it again and do it on your computer and not on the app. The app does not give you the option to select your choices on the poll facility/button.

Linda hopefully you are back before the voting closes and or you are able to access a computer where you are going.
