Cricket cancelled...but unlimited free style swimming practise full speed ahead...
Happy May Day celebrations to one and all.
Tonbridge School is a rather posh private school. They have everything. They undoubtedly have a few ponds in their grounds already!
To be fair this cricket pitch is most likely a practice pitch as it floods so often, usually in winter, and they play rugby on this ground in the Winter too (which doesn't do the wicket any good at all!)
Cricket is hard to understand in the countries that play it.
It is widely played in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Indian sub-continent. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have good teams and it's an obsession in that part of the world.

Went to the Home Depot yesterday. I bought an orchid!
You guys probably remember me mentioning how I've killed several orchids in the past but was ready to try keeping them again... Well this was a $20 orchid marked down to $5 so I had to bring it home. It seems healthy, the flowers appear to be almost done for and that's probably why it was marked down.
I read that your not supposed to repot them until they finish flowering but they had moss packed in the pot so tight that i was concerned about it smothering the roots, plus there was an odor coming from the pot that smelled kind of rotten. But the roots we're healthy still.

Ah. . . another good use for "orchid bark"!!!
I bought mine ages months ago and it’s doing great!! It even grows new buds!
I always kill mine too! I have pinched off 3 dying flowers, water about every 2 weeks and it’s kept in bright light but no direct sun.
Good luck with yours!!
Good luck. Mine has been flowering for two and a half years now with a break of about a month last year. It's down to one flower now so may be out again soon.
It's on a north facing windowsill and gets stood in water for about an hour once a week.
We had rain last night and more throughout the day!
Yay!! We so need it!!
I noticed my Sulcata wasn’t coming out to eat so I opened up his night box to pick him up and he was cold!! His oil filled heater wasn’t working.
This happened to me with another oil filled heater.
They seem to only last one or two seasons and they stop warming up but there’s power to it. So my husband rigged up a CHE last night right before dark and when it started sprinkling.
Does anyone have any ideas why the heater just stop working?
I ordered a new one but different brand.

Yipes! I don't have experience with those mini ones. My regular sized ones (one in the greenhouse and in use for the past 8 or 10 winters) and one in my bedroom (in use for about three winters) work fine and show no intention of stopping working.
I know!! I felt so bad!!
Mine is the mini Optimus.
It’s in the house now so I just turned it on to check it again. I guess I could research it or ask the company if they have any ideas.
Have they not delivered to you yet? Oh dear, but I am sure it is on its way.
Whahaha.Of course, you don’t. Why would you go looking for tiny containers with a piece of paper in them when you could go out into your garden and find a baby tort?
Hmm. Have you been sneaking pics of Adam?
I didn't. [emoji23][emoji23]
Oh and here I thought you painted a picture of Adam.
Back at ya!!
