That's what I am hoping. 10 am this morning had to have my wife remove his hide and get him out. He walked to the first opened screen door and turned around. Went to the 2nd door that goes to the backyard and turned around. Went to go in his hide but it wasn't there. Coaxed him outside and ate grass right away. Put him in is pool and he enjoyed it. Drank and then did his business. Took him out sprayed him down. For the next hr non stop eating grass. Came back in the porch by himself. Went to his hide that was back in place. Dug in and didn't move the rest of the day. A few more days of this and I am gonna really get worried.
Well...he did get beat up by a bunch of bugs, and a bunch of stuff got moved. But he is eating and doing his business so...just remember you know opo best. Sometimes I have to help Saphire get through stuff too.

Good mornooning all. Today we say farewell to our children. JoesDad has taken Daughter to Avignon airport so she can fly to Southampton. After lunch we’ll take Son to Montpellier so he can fly to Luton.

All the airports are small apart from Luton. The children couldn’t get flights from the same one. Fortunately neither is far.

Today’s sighting on our way to Montpellier Airport was this red eared slider (we call them terrapins in the UK)

It was seriously unimpressed with JoesDad moving it from the lovely warm tarmac where it was basking in the middle of the road.

They’re not native and technically he probably shouldn’t have released it having picked it up, but doing anything else would have been complicated!

Daughter is safely back at home in the UK already

He seems fine, he's just sulking but he'll get used to the changes.

...... and not at all grateful that you probably saved his life!

Good morning/afternoon.
It's dry here today after all that rain.
My guest, Alfie, is behaving himself and we've had a walk - not too far as my leg was aching and my knee was clicking, but he enjoyed chasing his ball so he had a good run.
Wales are currently beating England 10 - 0 in a second 'friendly' warm up rugby match before the World Cup - but doesn't look too friendly to me.
England beat Wales in their first friendly last week so a lot of Welsh pride riding on this game. We'll see what happens in the second half!
Hope you all have a good Saturday.

Good morning! I have finished the Coop.. it’s nice but I am a little disappointed in the size.. I thought it would be bigger? When the ducklings are grown, their heads will reach the top I think:-( Guess we will see.. Now I’m going to get the lamps set up so that the babies can move in almost immediately.. I threw out two more eggs yesterday that had went bad.. Duck eggs are just nasty. But I now have Six strong babies that I can see.. 58766806948__B3CE6ED5-5E8F-44AA-934B-661ED861FC27.jpg

Dang it anyway! I hate when this happens. You get used to seeing the same colors and fonts, etc on your computer then for no reason something about it changes all on its own. I clicked the monitor on and the task bar across the bottom is background white instead of whatever it used to be (I think blue, but can't be sure). I don't want it to be white, dang it!!! I want it to go back to what it used to be. I've powered down the computer but it comes back on with a white task bar. I have Windows 10. Before, with past windows applications, I used to know how to change the appearance of the desktop, but with Windows 10 it's a whole new ball game. . . well, that and since I haven't changed appearances in a long time, I've probably forgotten how. I doubt I'll get this out of my system for a while because every time I turn on the monitor I'm going to wish the task bar isn't that color. I've asked my friend Google for help, but he's no help at all. Sheesh!

I shan’t be able to get to a Windows 10 desktop until next week. Give me a prod when I am home and I’ll have a look at what I have

Have you changed your desktop picture? It automatically picks a colour from there by default.

Try Settings > Personalisation > Colors

Then toggle Off ... Automatically pick an accent color from my background to see if that fixes it.

So here’s what we got up to today....

Oy! @mooIzillion! Postcards!

Forst we went to Carrières de Lumières (literally Quarry of Lights) We have been here before. It’s a former bauxite (aluminium ore) quarry where images arerojectd onto the cave walls and pillars and set to music. The first set was Van Gogh pictures and the second was Japanese art.

The entrance

I seem to remember your sharing about that quarry before. It totally rocks!

Hello friends. I am still alive.....:D
Busy with cats on vacation, with my own pets, house and garden. But I am happy. Life is good ( as to say it with Adams @Tidgys Dad words ).
I`ve got 4 new furred family members. Baby cats ( British shorthair:<3: ) Pictures follow soon. :rolleyes: It is not easy to take good pictures of playing young cats !!!!:confused:
My sullies are mostly every day in their outdoor enclosure and walk back when it is getting too cold for them or the sun hides behind clouds. But summer is still fine. We have a lot of sunshine and warmth every day. I enjoy these days much. Soon they will be gone ....:(
I hope everybody is well. I haven`t the time to catch up. So I send all my best wishes and greetings to all my lovely roommates in the CDR and promise I will be back soon.
Until then: Please stay safe and healthy.
Best regards from Germany and Sabine and a lot of pets.:<3::<3::<3:

Bee!!!!!! You’ve been a busy one, I see.

No, pictures of playing kittens aren’t easy. That’s why you should take a video! [emoji6] Love from Ottawa.
