Wow ?Hello, nobody in particular.
Welcome to Tidgy's Dad's Cold Dark Room.
Not expecting a lot of visitors in this pointless place, but this is where I live now.
It's good in here.
If anyone does visit, please feel free to say what you want( within forum guidelines, of course) and I will be happy to be silly, slightly insult you or ignore you completely which you are most welcome to do to me.
I will of course venture out occasionally, when I think I can be useful or annoying, but otherwise I live here now.
No advertising, let's see who spots me.
This is where i belong.
Tidgy is most unconcerned.
How beautiful! How can you resist keeping him? I realize it's probably illegal for you.
Here's a pic of the king salmon. They finally found one. They are still fishing so hopefully there will be more!

I was afraid to say 2. I wasn't sure of my memory so overguesstimated.? anyhow I don't think they mind playing with children for a little bit especially if they leave them where they found them or close.I seem to remember reading a 2 mile radius!!! I had torturous nightmares over all of the ones I picked up to “play with” before I knew any better :-(
Yum yum yum yum yum.!Here's a pic of the king salmon. They finally found one. They are still fishing so hopefully there will be more!

I'll be looking forward to it...this isn't bad either.?Good evenooning all. I have been busy this weekend.
On Saturday we helped daughter load her car ready ro move back to her flat permanently... it was a true three dimensional jigsaw puzzle in such a small car.
Then we celebrated Father’s Day a day early with Son and Daughter cooking an amazing dinner.
On Sunday, Daughter returned to her flat and JoesDad and I visited his parents. We haven’t seen them since Christmas. Under the current lockdown rules, we can only go places on a day trip and must keep our distance and only go indoors to use the bathroom.
My mother in law suffers badly from anxiety and depression so we made careful plans. We took EVERYTHING... camping chairs and a small camping table, lunch, a flask of coffee, bottles of water and a bag containing masks, towel, soap and cleaning wipes so we could go to the bathroom touching as little as possible and wipe anything we did touch on the way out.
The weather was a bit changeable and windy, but we stayed dry and had a lovely long chat in their garden.
I wish it wasn’t so far to visit my Mum.It’s impossible to get there and back in a day. My sister lives much closer and has been able to visit her though. Because my Mum lives alone (my Dad died in 2002) she is allowed now to form a “bubble” with another household to avoid feeling isolated. She has come to this arrangement with my sister which means they can visit each other’s homes.
I came hime from the rescue with a car full of birds ... and a hedgehog... for release. More Blue T its, Starlings, Dunnocks (small sparrow type birds), a European Robin (smaller that what you Americans call a Robin) and two Great Spotted Woodpeckers. (Remember the bird perched on my shoulder?)
It’s hard to tell what has stuck around apart from the woodpeckers. They decided they liked peanuts and monopolised our peanut feeder for the afternoon. Not a great photo as it was taken through the kitchen window. You can see one of our trail cameras directed at the fat feeder behind the bird. Hopefully the woodpeckers will discover the fat and I’ll get trail camera pictures of them.

The hedgehog can’t be released until the evening as they’re nocturnal. I have tried to position its carrier so our trail camera catches it venturing out. Fingers crossed for pictures tomorrow! ?

Good to know.Looks like you squeezed them too hard & they are gushing out, I’m thinking of rubbing off those nubbins...thats where any needles will pop out. Rub them off now.....zero spines later.
Yes.?Hard to say what their Range is.... according to mr google -Activity is restricted to mornings and evenings during summer, with little to no nighttime activity, except for egg-laying females. Box turtles have a limited home range where they spend their entire life, ranging from 0.5 to 10 acres (usually less than 2 acres).
Hello. This is CathieG. Welcome!?Wow ?
I actually printed that recipe. I'm going to try it.Microwave brownies?
