Dear Natrah -I hope you will have a lovely time in Oxford -did I tell you I lived and worked there for several years, and I always loved it. I assisted the chief psychologist at the Warneford hospital there - she was lovely - and I lived in a bedsit in Jack Straw's Lane -a great name, don't you...
Dear Natrah -we have got all the computer stuff transferred (including Zola's email address,which is
[email protected]. by the way,) and things seem ok. Next event is the arrival of our central heating oil, at a very much higher price than before, but we have to have it, all the same. Richard...
Hello Natrah -I may not be able to use the forum for a few days, as our landline is being transferred to a new provider -we hope everything will just move over, but I sort of anticipate problems. Anyway, don't worry if I'm absent - I'm ok and my eyes are both doing well !
Love to all from Angie...
Here is one more view of the birthday boy -the photos don't really convey how bright and sparkly the place was - and there was one man with his dog, some distance away - but no other people at all.
On our way driving there, we passed the place where the beavers have been introduced, but didn't...
Welcome from the UK. Heidi is obviously a very intelligent tortoise to choose your farm and your family to live with in the future.
Very best wishes from Angie
Thank you so much, dear Chef - it's lovely to hear from you, and very kind of Sally, Squirt, and Sylvia (and Gary) to remind you about our birthdays. Zola has had an especially good time, with lots of people wishing him a Happy Birthday. He is 26 years old now, and full of energy - many people...
I think it is going to be pretty hot here too - we were thinking of going to Torquay,and maybe having a ride on tne big wheel there,and our favourite Hanbury's fish and chips to eat overlooking the sea (not for Zola) -but I am quite wobbly, and my eye is still recovering, so it probably isn't...
Dear Natrah and everyone - I think my eye op has gone pretty well, though it will be a little while before it catches up with the previous one - the vision was worse in this new one anyway. I have been really shaky and tired, but can't sleep much, and get confused about things a lot - luckily...
Zola looks more beautiful to me every day, and he has been very kind - not biting or scrabbling too hard. Tomorrow I hope to get some reading glasses, so I shall see him more clearly at every distance and angle. We have to get him more radicchio for his birthday next week, so we are going to...
Dear Natrah -it has been quite a strange time, but the worst is over ! We were told to arrive by 7.30, which we did, after a fairly sleepless night, and a fairly frantic rush - only to discover that I would be the last on the operating list, at about 12ish ! So Richard went off with Zola, and I...
I really didn't expect to get an appointment for my other eye so quickly, and it isn't particularly convenient timing, but I certainly couldn't turn it down ! Luckily, I hadn't gone back to wearing contact lenses in that eye just in case ! Obviously I hope not to need them ever again in either...
Dear Natrah -it is raining quite hard at the moment, so no breakwater for Zola, but I thougt you would like to know that I shall be having my second eye op on Thursday at 7-30 am -a cancellation ! ! ! I's a good hour's
drive to Barnstaple, but at least we know where to go and everything ! And...
I think it's a great idea in theory, but I do wonder how much the tortoise will excrete, in his excitement, as he whizzes around, and how much of that will end up literally all over him !
Angie
Lovely photos, Natrah !
Tomorrow I have a phone call arranged with the hospital to talk about my next eye op. I am hoping that I shall be able to get it done very soon, as I do find it difficult with my eyes not "matching", and my headaches are rather worse, I think, because of it too. I am...
