COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

Good morning all. Back home to chilly greyness (and thick fog last night). We are off to watch rugby this afternoon.

In the meantime here are postcards from yesterday - Royal Palace in Palma ... the Spanish King’s official residence there ... which is right next to the cathedral.

I always find chilly greatness depressing! Today started with very heavy cold rain but now it is sunny with blue bright blue sky. Lovely

It started wet here. Got dryer. Then wet again. Dry bit at the moment

Yes it's getting colder here too but not quite as cold as you. Have decided it's time for Nelly to hibernate, she has been totally inactive the last few weeks so time to sleep the cold months away I think!

I was thinking about hibernation at the start of this week. Joe would probably have been hibernated on Tuesday. It has made me rather melancholy; I’m glad I had a travel distraction this week

Yes I can imagine how you feel Linda. When you have had a tortoise for many years they become associated with the changing of the seasons I think. I always thought Spring had started when Salty woke up!

[Tidgy's Dad]

Fun article!!! I've sent it on to several friends!!!!

I think i'd be more worried about the carnivorous ones eating me!

Do they not go through a period of trying to hibernate?
Good afternoon, Sabine.

No. Not yet. They are active and well eating every day. No sign of being slow and trying to hibernate. I think they are too young to know.
I got them from a pet shop and the last winter they can`t hibernate too in this petshop. I got them in spring this year.

No really plans for the evening. I think I will view Despicable Me 3 this evening.
I am a little bit tired. Worked outdoors today, but after supper I will be again online. I do multitasking: watching a movie and being in the CDR.http://www.despicable.me/

Just found a German company who sells Mazuri tortoise food in Germany. I wrote them an email. Mayby I can get Mazuri for my torts here too.

Can't get it here or In Spain.
But I have lots of other stuff which provides a satisfactory alternative.

Just kidding, but my head spins sometimes when i'm trying to place my stuff with stuff in books and on the net, several pages at a time and cross-referencing. My head spins!

Good morning, Roommates!
Nobody about today.
Lovely sunny day here.
Student due about now!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I can't remember if I posted this one, so here we are ;
The trilobite Ampyx priscus, from the Ordovician here in Morocco.
About 475 million years old.


The spines have been considerably restored, but it's still a lovely specimen.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmmmm.
My student hasn't shown.
And I am all alone in here today, it would seem.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm so lonely!
Another student due about now.

It looks strange to my eyes.
