Goodmorning everyone, I have a lot of catching up to do. Have to find Sabine's new song. Opo has learned that his hide with moist coco coir in it. He uses during the day. Then about 4:30 and 5:30 he goes in the insulated box with the Kane mat and goes to bed. The box has the plastic strips at the opening but I drape a towel over it to make it dark.

Good morning Ray! Been praying for you.
Sure miss reading your upbeat posts:). How’s Wifey feeling? We are still having 100F days here with heat index of 106F ... Toretto is just sulky:))) He wants to go in his house but at 5&6pm it’s still too hot so he goes in the summer burrow... but the nights are too cold.. I’ve been moving him around a lot and he has this grumpy look about him... LOL!

Just checked in. First hatch is doing well but nothing seems to be happening with the others [emoji35] I’m so impatient.. Ducks have a lower hatch rate than other birds but these guy were all going strong yesterday so I hope they make it out of the egg... preferably by the time I get home [emoji12]

Well done Ben. Your English score reflects what I said about your written words... you’re good at it!

You will have resit Maths. Your college is obliged to help you get at least a level 4.... and employers want it too. Hopefully the college tutors will have tactics that will help you with it. Sometimes all that’s needed is a different teacher

I’m still going to be studying animal management but with maths along with it. At least I don’t have 15 other subjects to worry about:)

Well done. The colleges are used to this. When my daughter went to university, most of her group had to study an additional maths module because their maths wasn’t good enough. She had A Level Maths & Further Maths so she ended up helping her friends.

THE ROSE- Bette Midler

Ahh - another one of my favourites Sabine.
Bette Midler sang it in the film 'The Rose' which is loosely based on the singer Janis Joplin.
You have yet again given us a terrific version Sabine Thank you

Egg update.... The babies are rocking and all have pipped!!! This is EGGCEPTIONAL:))) View attachment 278981
I have never hatched ducklings before but I read that it takes them a while to get out of the egg.. we shall see:) I will try and get a good video..
They are great! I used to hatch them in school and we had them swimming in a baby bath within a couple of days.
They then progressed on to swimming in my bath at home when they got too big for that and loved being under the shower.
I'll have to see if I can find and scan the photos.

Hi everyone, I got my results back. I got a level 6 in English language which is the equivalent to a B! I got a 3 in maths so I will probably have to do that again but it’s fine. I passed German, History, computer science. I got a 5 in RS aswell:)
Congratulations on your passes Ben!:)
