Lola had an exciting afternoon today.
I collected him at lunchtime and took him into school for a couple of hours, as we have been talking about reptiles in science.
He was very cosy en route with a hot water bottle and hot car and he was a star visitor.
He was very relaxed and the kids thought he was hilarious when he kept peeping over the top of the big flat box he was in with bits of food on his face.
I wish I'd used the school camera to take some pics.
The friend who had found him couldn't believe how he'd grown.
Splendid result!!!!!!
What a good job you've done!

There are 4 more elements that have been added to the Periodic Table!!!! A scientist friend of mine sent me a link to an article about them. The teams of scientists who proved the existence of these elements will get to name them. Until their existence could be proven, they were tentatively referred to as Ununtrium, Ununpentium, Ununseptium and Ununoctium (for real).
But i got to thinking. These poor elements are NEW, and will now be joining the ranks of very FAMOUS elements like Hydrogen, Oxygen, Uranium etc.
I think they should have MORE than just a single name: They should have a first AND a last name. How about Ursula Ununtrium? Or Eric Ununpentium? or Vladimir Ununseptium? :p

Don't be silly!
This is science.
They all ought to be called Adamium, obviously.

In the first one, he's just hanging out! This is how he is a lot. It's even cuter when he's not hanging onto a plant, but is on his little tippy-toes with his nose out of the water!!! :):):)
In the other photo, he just uprooted a plastic plant I bought in the hopes that the grid on the bottom would prevent him from uprooting it! :p


such a handsome little fella :)
