I think the CDR grows and adds corners as the population increases.

You may be right!!!!

Wait! What did I miss? You now have a baby tortoise? What kind?

Yes, last summer i was given a baby tortoise by someone who could no longer care for it.
Another Testudo graeca graeca.
Beautiful but currently in quarantine while i was building an outdoor enclosure for it.
Currently brumating , probably far too young for this, and it's been a long, cold winter, so i may have made the wrong decision there.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Does anyone REALLY know how many corners there are in the CDR?

It's vast.
And Dark.
And an odd shape.
A couple of members have been lost forever trying to explore.

That's possible.

I sure do, have you ever heard of Longview? About an hour or so north of Lufkin?

Yep. Been there many times[emoji1]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good to know. I had no idea, though I did have my doubts. Everyone feeds them bread here.

I always fed them popcorn or Cheerios.. peacocks also love it. Naughty peacocks.

That’s where I grew up! I really lived in Hallsville (don’t know if you heard of that) and went to school in Hallsville but Longview was our “big city” lol

I was wondering how little Splat is doing. (Are you still sure about calling the poor thing that?)

Maybe I should try that, just to add some variety to their diet

...
And then I went to the Savoy Queen’s Chapel. It’s actually the chapel of a hospital for the poor built by King Henry VII (the one before the one with 6 wives ) The Savoye Hospital has long since gone and the site is now occupied by a rather posh hotel - the original in its chain. The chapel remains and is the HQ of the Royal Victorian Order of chivalry.
...

Ironic, isn’t it — from a hospital for the poor to a posh hotel. Hope the guests aren’t haunted by ghosts and old diseases
