Someone posted this on FB on Sat. It's spread all over both hills since then.

Good Morning All.
It's Thursday. Yayyyyy. Have a good one. Hopefully today is a better day than yesterday. I arranged for hubby to pick Jarrod up from school so I could go to my osteopath appointment. I get to their offices and sit and wait for 20 minutes. But something tells me to look at my calendar aaannddd my appointment is on friday.[emoji20] So I sneak back out and go home. Then tell hubby what I did and he moans at me about messing up his day, so i moan back at him etc etc. But when he thought about it some more he ended up laughing his head off. Needless to say I was not amused and felt like an idiot. So far being a year older is not working for me.[emoji21]

I think they’re hoping a hosepipe ban will be enough. It would be very unusual for this to last much longer in that area. It really is a very soggy part of the country normally
A cancelled credit card can cause you embarrassing situations when you don`t know that the company had cancelled it.
I had to look that word "verruca" up too, but then I`ve got the joke.
That`s why I honestly never use a autocorrect. I want to do my own individual faults !...rather you than me!
Dang autocorrect! That was SUPPOSED to say "GOOD LUCK!"
Want to be there too.
Elsa is doing just fine. We are having a typical very rainy summer here (I almost hate to write that and wish we could send some of our water to the those of you in those terrible droughts[emoji853]). Her enclosure used to partly fill to 2-3 inches in a good downpour, which would send her in a panic: running frantically back and forth, seeming to be unable to find the high ground in her enclosure. We’re guessing the water obscured enough of her familiar landscape that she couldn’t decide where to go. In a BIG storm, I would have to run outside and bring her inside to stay in her winter enclosure until the yard drained.
About a year or so ago we had a French drain installed in parts of the back yard, and had them extend it to drain her enclosure. Now when it rains, her enclosure is the driest part: NO puddles or standing water in it![emoji2][emoji106]
I was watching her just earlier this week: it was raining fairly heavily, and she was strolling casually around her enclosure as if it was just a typical day.
I was SO glad to see that.
Thank you so much for thinking of her! [emoji173]️
I confess that I post so much more about Jacques than about Elsa because we SEE Jacques so much more, since she’s in an aquarium in our dining room, rather than out in the back yard like Elsa.
Joe always loved warm rain too. I often wondered if he liked the sound or feel of the rain on his shell.
Yes! I had just assumed she would want to shelter from the rain, like we do! But she seems to enjoy it, as long as the water doesn't collect.Joe always loved warm rain too. I often wondered if he liked the sound or feel of the rain on his shell.
You bring up a point I never thought about: what would it SOUND like to them, falling on their shell!!!
It might be fun to be a tortoise for a day...

You know I was trying so very hard not to write her name down because I wasn't sure I had it correct. And I didn't. [emoji17] I'll go sit in the naughty corner now.
