A car’s boot is what you call a trunk.
People load up their car with what they don’t want any more and congregate with others doing likewise in a field or car park to sell it. Sort of a yard sale that doesn’t rely on people to drive past your property.
Thanks I will get that with your other recommendations.The eco logic works really good on mosquitos too. It’s made with lemongrass oil. I sprayed down my little rubber maid garden shed.. usually when I open it, a whole swarm comes out.. now—— nothing!! It’s bliss. I use it inside my house around windows as well. They make an aerosol too.View attachment 278358View attachment 278359
Your right I forgot they call the trunk a boot.Like a yard sale, but from the trunk (aka boot) of your car. An estate sale if you drive a Mazerati!
Yes I think so, we managed to remove six of his buddies yesterday, I guess we missed one. They have perfect camouflage which doesn’t really help them in this situation.Thank goodness you missed him with the spade!
He's only a young one isn't he?
I am happy they were not fire ants. Opo has come across a fire ant colony. I have never seen a tortoise move so fast.Well then it's possibly a new colony and you won't have a lot of problems getting rid of the ants. What's nasty is I read that ants aren't native to the US. Yet they thrive in Florida...along with a lot of other non native critters.
I wish we could get Kane mats here.Thanks I will get that with your other recommendations.
Got back from the doctors around 5 and Opo hadn't come out. My wife got him out and I gave him some kale. I was getting his bath ready and he walked back to his hide. Crawled in so I turned up the heat for the Kane mat just a tiny bit. We had a cool front move in 80°. Opo is sensitive to barometer changes. I think he will be fine tomorrow.
Yup - bonnets and boots!Your right I forgot they call the trunk a boot.
I think they call the hood of the car a bonnet.
Welcome back. Sounds like you have been thru to much. My prayers are still with you.Well, I'm back on a very limited basis.
Less than 4 weeks after Pete died, I found myself in Eisenhower Med Center. I had an extremely high fever. Turns out I had bilateral lower lobe pneumonia, very involved and serious, with right mid lobe involvement. I had serious colitis, then I went into Atrial fib, then my kidneys failed.
Ended up with 1 kidney dialysis treatment, cardioversion for afib,
and a long road ahead to get over the pneumonia. On day of discharge, after 12 days, I found out I was not expected to survive...BUT I DID!!
Now home, alone but with an excellent support church family, struggling to do even the little stuff, like breathing. LOL!
I will read, but probably l will post only occasionally...please be patient with me.
I found the thermostat they sell is more expensive than picking one up online. Maybe we could send you one.I wish we could get Kane mats here.
I found one place but they only had old stock without the thermostats and way too big for what I wanted, but there aren't any other stockists left in the UK now.
I'll have to start searching again for something similar before the temps drop.
Ask @Bee62 what she uses in Germany. Being in the UK, you may have an easier time getting a German product.I wish we could get Kane mats here.

The new models have built in thermostats.I found the thermostat they sell is more expensive than picking one up online. Maybe we could send you one.
Enjoying a French sunset. You’ll have to imagine the ref wine, the sound of the cicadas and the perfect temperatures

That's even better news. Not fire ants. I like Blackdog1714's sculpture idea a lot. ..I am happy they were not fire ants. Opo has come across a fire ant colony. I have never seen a tortoise move so fast.
There has to be a science project in there, somewhere...That's even better news. Not fire ants. I like Blackdog1714's sculpture idea a lot. ..

Thanks Ray but I think the shipping would cost too much and they don't make them with UK connections either, I did email the company to ask .
There must be similar mats closer to home. There are lots of pig farmers in the UK - maybe I should email them to find out what they use.
