I deleted the first video because I didn’t like it and didn’t want two on YouTube. So the first link won’t work for those of you that haven’t seen it.
Here’s the updated one.


Beautiful job! Hey, that turtle was expecting to be fed the moment you approached [emoji23][emoji85]

Good evening all hope you are all well, I see have a few posts to catch up on!
I didn't make it home on Tuesday - my sister wouldn't drive me home and thought I should stay longer.
I finally persuaded her I would be OK yesterday, because my b-in-law wasn't happy about the heating for Lola at night and said that even deserts and tropics have cold nights, and I overheard my sister saying that she turned the heating off in the night, so I think it was time I came home. Their house is so cold even I was struggling! I appreciate everything they have done and will continue to do for me but Lola needs to be kept warm.
I was back at hospital yesterday to have some stitches removed from a cut on top of my foot and it is infected, so now on antibiotics but an xray showed the plate in my leg has stayed in place so that was good news. The very bad news is I can't use it for at least another 4 weeks!!! I was hoping I would be walking on it in 2 so not happy about that.
Anyway enough of my woes, time for me to see what everyone has been up to since Tues.

Sorry to hear about your infection, Lyn, — and about your family misunderstanding Lola’s needs. Please do take all the time you need to heal. The last thing you need is to develop something chronic. Who’s going to take the kids to the caves or kayaking then?

Thanks Carol - I'll get there eventually, but think I may have to use the tortoise sanctuary for Lola for a while.
I have been on touch with them and he could have his own heated enclosure with uvb for £30 and week which isn't bad.
It will just be so hard to part with him even for a short time but it's not fair to have him in the cramped conditions he's in at the moment when he is used to having his own room. I'm sure he'd have a lovely time and I'd know he would be warm and secure. Can't help worrying about him picking up disease or not eating properly though.
Who'd have thought that this stray tortoise that came into my life almost 5 years ago would come to mean so much to me.
They do have that affect on a person. They slowly creep into your heart until they have your whole heart under their "thumb".

Evening all.
It's almost 1 a.m. Monday morning here but can't sleep so thought I'd pop in to see how everyone is.
I had a few visitors today so not had as much time as I thought I'd have.
Hope Sunday has been a good day for you and that those suffering with bad health at the moment are feeling better.
I'll just wish you all a Happy Monday and because I'm off work (every cloud has a silver lining ;)) I should be here sometime tomorrow.
So Nos Da for now and take care.
Take care of yourself as well Lyn.

Megh....yesterday morning it was clear, bright and Sunny, Overnight the temps dropped, a little wetness moved in, and we have a Wintry wet, sleet, snow mess. The yucky stuff - not nice fluffy powder....but yucky sleet wet mush.

Happy Monday morning
Happy Monday Afternoon Mark.

Good Monday afternoon all.
The wind is pumping again. So there is lots of sand everywhere. Stephen has gone away but will be back tomorrow night. Liam started back at university today ( I wish I had his holidays - just don't like the studying part [emoji23] )
Other than that not much going on this side.
Have a good Monday all.

P.S.

@JoesMum are you okay? Haven't heard from you in a while.

@Bee62 how are you and the animal family doing?

I do have a favor to ask of everyone, I’m having eye surgery Wednesday.
I have a reoccurring problem with my right and it’s causing double vision, so they are going to fix it.
Can everyone please keep me in your prayers, send good vibes and such please [emoji851][emoji16]

Quiet time for you!!!! Do you enjoy it or does it bother you? Hubby and SDaughter leave Wednesday morning and my quiet time begins. I enjoy it and by the end of the couple weeks I’m ready for them to come back. I enjoy that time also... for a couple weeks ... then I’m ready for them to go.. LOL ... and so our cycle goes:) I was raised in that environment and thus, taught to be very independent..don’t think I could ever be around someone “full time” .. I can’t imaging what retirement will be like[emoji16]

All that talk of ponds got me to peek in. [emoji196]
I’m still miserable — or once again miserable, and daughter is sick (again!) too.

Well this is just ridiculous. Do we need to send a dis-infecting crew to your property? A gift basket with soup & universal meds? ( I’ll add a bottle of wine so you can celebrate after the meds do the trick).. whatever it takes, this is just lingering too long... Seriously, I am wishing you both a fast recovery and sending warm hugs.. sorry you both are having such a miserable time!
