Good mornooning and happy Saturday everyone.

The ATP tennis finals are on in London and JoesDad and I have tickets for todays semi finals matches. :) :) :)

Doubles: Venus & Klaasen v Farah & Cabal

Singles: Tsitsipas v Federer

Doubles: Herbert & Mahut v Kubot & Melo

Singles: Thiem v Zverev

It’s an exciting year in the singles this year. It looks like the next generation is finally starting to take over... although I’ll still be supporting Federer.

I think it's beautiful too...but I'm really bad. I like my little tree up all year long. You can always clean it and change the ornaments for the season if you like...
That's a unique idea. I think I will keep that to myself and not tell my wife. :)

Good morning everyone, hope you all have a good weekend. I haven't been keeping up in the CDR. Hope everyone is doing ok. Opo stuck his head out to 57° stayed there with his head out for about a hr. Then turned around and went back in. Dont know if I will see him again today.

Hello all, I have been awol for a little while now. I just wanted to pop in and say hi and I hope everyone in the CDR is healthy and happy and staying warm. Life has been crrraazy over here for the last few months. I am happy to report my bubba is doing great and all my other babies are as well. I have been miserable with neck and back pain. Back to the doc I go.. this time I'm sure it is going to be a cortisone shot in my neck
Stay well and warm roomies I will be back again ☺️
Good luck at the doctor. Feel better.

The injections work for me for about a year. Everyone is different I guess.
Hope you get some relief soon.

Yes I had some in my hips and they worked for about a year, like you said. I will update everyone on the 17th when I go back to the doc. It's nice having a group of people I can talk to whenever I get the chance ☺️ hope you your wife and Opo are doing well Ray!

Good morning and happy Sunday to one and all.
It's been a bit chilly here this weekend and I've caught up with a lot of sleep, so I've not been far.
Lola not venturing out much either.
Hope everyone is well and has a good day.
TTFN!

Cold, windy & overcast here. Sully’s been inside now for about a month & seems to have adjusted well once I got the temps dialed in. Not too hot, not too cold, just right. Back to enjoying kale & romaine & dandelion & mazuri & cactus pads followed by hanging out under a basking lamp for a bit.

Finished up a second mahogany votive tea light holder to balance the previous one that's on our fireplace mantel. With the cold weather (and no kayaking) It’s time to start wood carving & turning more.

Fixed up an old bird feeder that was on its last legs and Started putting seed in the other three feeders. Got some fresh peanuts & sunflower seeds & suet cakes.

Happy Sunday all....ogh, & don’t forget to congratulate @Yvonne G on her most recent clutch of Leopard EGGS!

It's been around 49°f here and nice. I had to assist with Joe's laundry though. But hay the three of us got her done...

Goodmorning everyone, cold and dreary here also. Not to often you get 3 or 4 days of no sun here. Congrats @Yvonne G on your new batch of leopard eggs. My wife loves leopard torts.
Florida without the beautiful blue sky for 4 whole days is deprivation!!! Sorry.

Whahaha, I will take the stomach virus any day. Not that I don't like children, just that I have had two already and want some me time eventually, that would never happen if we had to have another one. And they are expensive.
Watch out cause the children have grandchildren. We are trying our best to prepare for one of those. I call them a mother's revenge...hehehe

I've been putting off going outside to take care of the animals, but now I've run out of indoor things to do. Gotta' go, darn it! It's COLD out there!!!
I somehow missed your post about leopards. Hope you are doing good though. It's amazing how the thought of new babies puts sparkles in your steps.

Hoping the same for you. Saphire's moving a bit slow now too. I can't wait for Christmas season. That's when our days lengthen and he comes out to play more.

Opo didn't even think about coming out today. I threw in 3 cactus pads that he gobbled up.
That's funny! Reads like one of my days...I live like Opo does. I just stay holed up in my hide if it isn't sunny. Do mundane things and eat a good dinner all warm and cozy.
