Sounds like the perfect way to remember your dad’s passing anniversary ❤️
Jacky sounds so lively I have images of her thoroughly enjoying herself.
Dickie hasn’t been very lively & some days she doesn’t eat much. The weather has been showery but warm. We may get some rain tomorrow possibly a thunderstorm. We could do with a good soaking.
Last week someone ran into the back of my car. The bumper is damaged but the other persons insurance is dealing with it all & it will be repaired next week. I’ll get a new bumper.
What troubled times we are in at the moment. Everyday on the news we hear of some tragedy or trouble somewhere in the world. The news is a bit grim tonight🥺 I shall keep images of Jacky foraging & climbing in my mind!

Good morning everyone,

This is Jacky's outside thermostat at 9.51 am:

Something to smile at 😊

A nice idea, and I'm sure Zola would have loved the car - however, since we didn't have any guests at our wedding, Zola had to play the role of Best Tortoise , and to be the only family member present, so I think he had enough to cope with anyway!

Could be Zola🤣? Sue I hope you were okay after that crash.

Natrah
Oh yes thanks I was fine, just a bump at a roundabout. Probably thought I was going to go when I didn’t! Just a bit of inconvenience getting a couple of estimates then being told it was going through insurance. Might be without car for a couple of days but should look like new when I get it back.
Been told it won’t affect my insurance but we’ll see. Its due for renewal next month 🤔

We have had very heavy rain most of the day - Zola has a plastic roof to his conservatory, and the rain makes a tremendous racket - in good weather it's nice, as you can hear the little birds running about on it ! Zola didn't like the rain,and nor did I, as my head is really painful today, but I felt obliged to keep him company! On Monday I go to the dentist, and on Tuesday to the hospital for my 35 head injections - I am going to have a fun week ! ! ! I hope the weather will be a bit better, as the birds and flowers and sunshine can take my mind off it quite a bit.
Our swallows haven't been around much, but we think they are ok.
Love to all our forum friends from Angie and Zola (who is being really kind to me at the moment) xxxxxxxxxx

Dear Natrah - I hope all goes really well with your concert - I'm sure it will, actually. Some of what you imagine about where I live is true -mainly the beautiful scenery nearby- however, the garden would be considered by many people to be a mess, and I would be embarrased if you saw the inside of the house, as it has gradually got more and more scruffy and untidy over the years - especially as it is so physically difficult for me to do things. I am not a tidy person at the best of times !
Still, it suits us - and Zola is happy, which is the most important thing of all.

Don’t feel bad Angie,
I think I have become “a closet hoarder” 🤣
Everything is kinda tidy on boxes….
But the boxes seem to be everywhere!!
And multiplying!!!!

Dear Edward's Servant,

How old is Edward now? I remember that he is than Jacky. Jacky is nearly 90. How old are you three Zola, Dickie and Sherman? Also @Chefdenoel10 how old are Sally and Squirt?

Natrah
Sally turned 27 April 12th
Squirt turned 1 April 14th
One of those was when them titanic sank 😞
And…..
Gary would have turned 7 on June 9th. 🙏❤️

I don't know Edwards age, but I can somewhat trace back his story. When I got him a little over a year ago he had been in the animal shelter for at least 5 years. Before that he lived with his previous owners with two female tortoises in a glass tank way too small. He was surrendered to the shelter by family members after his original owner died. Before that I don't know. I suspect he was wild caught or came from one of those terrible "tortoise farms".

Edward doesn't seem to grow much anymore and I take it he is full grown.I have been thinking that he is maybe 10 to 20 years old but truly I don't know.

Edwards servant 😊❤️🐢
Pictures please!!🙏

Zola will be 25 on July 8th, so just a kid still, really. We don't know the exact date, but it is roundabout then, so he shares his birthday with me - and has a half-birthday with Richard in January (we make sure he shares in any celebration ! )

Pictures please 🙏

I may be wrong about this, but I have a feeling that it is little Gary's birthday today - anyway, Zola and I will give him some extra love when we remember him and our little friend Bonus the toad tonight,which we do every night.

Good evening everyone!

Sorry this is short but I have an early dental tomorrow. I'm thinking of Gary as well and I can be sure that Daisy is looking after him. Jacky had a good day out today.

Goodnight everyone

Natrah, Jacky and Angel Daisy
Natrah,Jacky and dear sweet Daisy,
I just sooo love you!!! 😘 🥰🐌
