Hi Mark

Just to say thank you again. Daughter and friend ate at the top ringed one last night and said it was excellent traditional food and really good value. It was only 2 minutes from the rooftop bar they went to watch sunset.

Where else you talk Tortoise and end up with an excellent restaurant recommendation in a country neither of you lives in? :D
Is she still there? The one we liked was Mazel Tov in the Jewish quarter. :D

I walked around that old part of Budapest too. But, is Mazel Tov authentic Hungarian grub? I remember walking about the old cemetery there. Interesting.

An additional non- Hungarian but trendy good value is the Hummus Bar. I think there are two locations

Hi Ed

Post to Carol as soon as you want. Things take ages to go to Cape Town. I think they have one postman for the entire city.

For everyone else your postal service last posting dates apply and you’re probably safe to leave it until the start of December. Apart from me (UK) and Lena (Canada) everyone else is in the USA. And Lena and I are in areas with good postal communication, so there shouldn’t be any delay.

When we did TORTOISE it was more problematic as parcels got held up by border controls. Cards go with the letter post.
I remember that Adam's mail is literally delivered by donkey and cart.
Surely it can't be worse?

Oh, no, it's Jewish/Middle Eastern. There's only so much goulash one can eat... :oops: Off I go to the naughty step. Again. :rolleyes:

Yeah he set me up. He has never bit my toe. Usually just smells it and then tries to get under my foot rest. So I have to take my foot off so the foot rest on my wheelchair can fold up so he can go underneath :)
Yep, that's one way to sneak. Saphire smells everything before he eats it so I figured he wouldn't...I must of smelt yummy that fateful day.

@Yvonne G the thread about the app going has been closed which is fair enough.

Would you be kind enough to ask Josh if a way of giving junior members a way round the ads can be found without them having to pay money monthly that they don’t have?

i was thinking of the like of Technocheese. She is so good and joined us aged 12. She’s only 15 now I think. Youngsters like that need to be encouraged until they’re old enough to earn an income of their own.

This generation doesn’t operate without apps, so we should be doing everything we can to encourage them to join and stay. They’re the future of tortoise keeping and of this forum!
Howdy all. Tomorrow I'll be shopping for just that right set of Christmas cards, and I'll try to get them in the mail in November sometime. Linda (Joe's mum): I'd like to see Adam's name and address on our list, please?
I will PM it to you. He doesn’t know everyone on the list

My family loves a recipe I found for humus. It's homemade from dry cooked garbonzo beans, tahini, and herbs etc...it's even better then meat in a taco. It's a rainy day here also. The thunderstorm last night was beautiful.

I'm sorry to butt in this conversation but Technocheese is someone I haven't seen lately. I miss her input.

That’s wonderful!

Forgot to mention, @CarolM , please ignore the fact that the card you’ll receive claims it’s from Mr Mason. It’s really from me :confused: o_O
Ok I'll remember that...when I get hollyday cards from strange names and places I'll chalk it up to the CDR.

Closer, getting closer to being finished with our Sully’s new indoor night box. Finalized the roof (lid) today and squared it all off. Purchased a few more tubes of silicon caulk to seal all the gaps. Amazing how wood warps so much. Ordered a brandy new 120 watt RHP that should arrive soon. The RHP is for the roof and I’ll use the current Kane heat mat for the floor.

Good morning & happy Friday! Hubby, son, and I are headed into Arkansas today for some camping on the banks of the Red River.. taking sandwiches and ATV’s..... bound to be a good time:) I’ll try and get a few scenery pics for y’all..

also, put together a little collage of my new puppy and parents.. she’s just a newborn yet so the pictures aren’t much but I’m in love already..
her name is Cinder for sure.. Son already picked out and engraved the ID tag:) I am told that she is the runt in the litter but I don’t care. I feel like she picked me instead of the other way round.

Yes, as soon as I receive and install the RHP, I’ll move it into place and Sully will come in for the Winter. Calling for FROST alerts just west of here now, so winter is sadly around the corner.

Happy Friday all. Cool sunny start to the day. We’re going to make another attempt at fossil hunting following our recent nor’easter that brought a good amount of rain coupled with strong winds. These conditions are more favorable in uncovering the sharks teeth.

On the weekend off on a weekend of kayaking & camping. Will explore the Pokomoke River, an area thst has wonderful Cypress trees with cool roots.

Here is a feed and seed store that has mazuri 5m21 near St. Petersburg.
I called them they have the mazuri 5m21 in stock. It's about 36.00 for a 25lb bag. Make sure you get the 5m21 and not the LS.

I'm a true, blue, dyed-in-the-wool doberman person, however, I just LOVE the looks of the bullys. They never fail to make me go, "AW-w-w-w-w!!!" And there's just nothing cuter than a little bully baby!
