Good afternoon, Sara.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good afternoon Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

I just returned home from the airport after I picked up the two Olis.

They did enjoy themselves and they both asked me to thank you on their behalf. So:

THANK YOU @Tidgy's Dad for everything.

Good afternoon, Gillian.
I'm glad they're happy.
Were they in the bar drunk?

That should be fine.
As long as your substrate is kept moist, there is a nice hide, you give frequent soaks and the air is not too dry and a water source is always available it is not a huge problem for this species.

I teach at home, just to help out a bit.
English, mostly, to students of all ages except children.
I also sometimes teach other subjects, geology, particularly palaeontology, physics, maths, Latin, astronomy, some history.............

No, that won't make me blush, my head's too big for that.
Hence the hat not fitting.
I don't spray the substrate, it just makes the top damp and dries out too quickly. Poor water into the substrate and mix by hand, that way the top may dry out but you have the moisture underneath. Yes, moist but not wet.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm off up to the lab with Tidgy for a bit.
She's going to help me choose some fossils to post to the American chap I've got to send a Secret Santa in the Fossil Forum.
Tidgy finds fossils fascinating. She particularly like to sniff them and sit on them, but doesn't try to eat them.
Good girl.
See you later, Roommates.

Thank goodness she doesn't POOP on them! I'm afraid Elsa might - she's very casual about her toileting habits, I'm afraid.

There’s tumbleweed rolling through TFO today. Where is everyone? It’s not just the CDR that’s empty

I always thought tumbleweed was a plant native to the Americas, but NOT SO!!!! Apparently it's called "Russian Thistle" and its tiny seeds were accidentally introduced in the 1800s with shipments of grain etc from Russia.
Darling Hubby is a Texas boy and grew up with tumbleweeds. He says they are great fun for kids: the big balls stick to each other like velcro! They would use them to build forts with and could make them quite tall! Unfortunately, being so very dry, they can be quite a fire hazard!

It's already dam and the tops dry In some places so it's fine then I'll just leave it until the substrate is drying out too much

Tidgy is toilet trained. (seriously)
She only poops on our little table we put her on for her toilet needs.
Plus occasionally outside or very rarely during a soak.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It got too dark to keep checking the fossils and Tidgy decided it was supper time so we came back down but i got some good stuff to send.
More tomorrow hopefully.
It's my fault, the electric in my laboratory has a broken cable and I've been putting off fixing it all summer.

So a few more pictures from Bath. These are the Roman baths, approx 2000 years old. You can see how warm the water is by the steam!

And the famous Georgian crescent, you can buy a three bedroom apartment here if you have a spare £5000000! And the Abbey, sadly sideways but impressive none the less

 

[JoesMum]

I can’t see any of your photos Jane

I can't see the photos either, i'm afraid.
Pesky app.

 

[JSWallace]

Mmm I can see them on the app on my phone, I don't understand how this works anymore! Can anybody else see them???

Perhaps try logging into the TFO website on your phone browser and uploading them there. The Android app really doesn’t work with photos at all
