I love itso cute
Thanks. We picked up a few large limbs of Sycamore the other day & I’m looking forward to working on a new type of wood. I roughed out a bowl yesterday & today a bit on the lathe. So far so good.
Well... I'm glad I'm not a princess or a Queen . I would hate being a presidents daughter too. I enjoy being a pee on. I get to play around with my animals while they have to go to stuffy state functions. Has it gotten better in the colonies?
I can't wait to see. I don't know if I've ever seen anything made from it.

So this year even the Easter Bunny ducked down a rabbit hole and found a cold dark room. 'Bit cold in here for me. I'm off to deliver my eggs In a warmer lighter room !' Said he and raced off to find the tortoise had won the race !I love it
Nice sunny start here & a nice refreshing cool front moved in overnight dropping our temps by 20-25 degrees. Much more seasonable.
Good morning all.
It's a beautiful day here - with temps set to reach 18C/64F and it's supposed to be nice all weekend.
It's pretty quiet about - which is always a bonus .
I'm sorting out another corner of the garden - and Lola is enjoying some real sun basking time.
I hope you all have a good Good Friday!

Well, yes! Many more people are moving on, it's more the older generations, I see I forgot to add that in my original message. But in all fairness though, monarchies are great sources of history, especially, the British monarchy. (I do apologise if I seemed blunt in my previous post)Well...

Good morning friends...so we had a bit of rain yesterday, My rain gauge is inop, New one ordered, But I estimate we got about .3" of rain, which we badly need, and rain again tonight and on Monday, I believe. Beautiful sunny morning today and not terribly cold. May let my Seymour wander the yard a bit to get some sunshine. @TheLastGreen, I saw on the news Flooding on the SA East coast, have you been impacted by the rains, Your probably a couple hundred kilometers away (?) I'd guess.

Glad it's finally raining by you. Luckily the rains don't affect us over here, I live about 600km from the coast, we had some light drizzle, but over by the coast the flooding is extreme. But that's @norma.b stomping grounds, she lives just North from there. @norma.b is it raining by St. Lucia estuary? How are the torts doing?
These are some photo's I've seen of it, and it's crazy
Oh, my Gosh, it looks awful. I hope @norma.b is faring well. and glad your doing ok....

We are OK thsanks.
Torts are snug and warm indoors happily covered up from the cold rainy weather outside. The whole town of St. Lucia is a bit raised from the Estuary and we have a secure bridge over the water. All areas beyond here are waterlogged and swampy. I think the wildlife have found higher ground and shelter.. Happy Easter from my menagerie.
I didn't see that in your quote at all.(Bluntness) So there's no need to apologize
. Sometimes I just like a person not totally because of what they are. I just like them because I can see and have empathy for what their life must be like. She's one of those.
They always do
especially with a bunny around. Torts get the heck out of dodge.
Great morning here & a great morning to get out kayaking. It was one of those lots of great pix moments. I’ll try not to upload too many.

So, Mark . . .What kind of kayak do you have, is it a calm/Lake boat? I have thought about getting a used one (at first) to take on some of the local lakes here/ SF Bay (which can be/become choppy)
I have and use two different ones. If you have never kayaked before it’s tempting to get a small/cheap boat. The problem with small is that they are very slow, but can be fun to just get out on small lakes.
Some boats have flatter bottoms and are much more stable. My Wilderness Systems Pungo 140 fits in this class. It’s easy to get in & out, has a removable cockpit to stash snacks, camera, etc. it also has two pretty large waterproof bulkheads (storage areas), one up front & one in the rear.
https://paddling.com/gear/wilderness-systems-pungo-140-kayakThe other boat I have, a P&H Scorpio, is longer & more slender & is classed as a Sea Kayak. Moves pretty fast through the water, fore & aft bulkheads for storage and a skeg (rudder) that you can use to help guide in windy conditions. The length is something like 16.5 ft.
https://www.phseakayaks.com/us/index.phpIf you haven't kayaked before see if there are any kayak Meet Up Groups in your area. We have three or four groups in our area here & often times ppl lend out boats or rent. Try a few boats & see what you like.
Always wear a PFD .
Let me know if you need more info..
Weird question but….
Is the CAT ok????
Poor cat!
Bad enough it doesn’t have a home …
To have a sore bum and no one to help heal it might be worse.
On the other hand …. That’s one
for tortoises! (They almost never win a battle!)
