He usually displays his wares in the spring.
Maybe he is just realising that something's missing and that he needs a mate.:)
No real change appetite wise - mainly eaten from hand fed but also feeding himself some - about the same amount.
He took his meds with the help of some sliced strawberry and slivers of cucumber like a good boy. Only one more dose to go on Thurs.

Just a thought Lyn. Get the vet to test his testosterone level. I’m thinking of Joe’s refusal to eat which was caused by excess testosterone

Good mornooning, roommates!
My view right now:

That’s the Viking Ship Museum on the fjord. Many people say the building is ugly, so it might be taken down and rebuilt in the next few years. It’s much nicer on the inside.

I remember visiting it - the views from there are beautiful. I don’t remember the building being particularly bad

Good morning all.

Physio went well yesterday. I am better, but the session showed I am far from fixed. A referral to an orthopaedic specialist is now inevitable for my shoulder problems. I’m still hopeful of avoiding the neurologist for my lower back.

I have someone in to clean my house today. My back has made proper housework too difficult so paying someone to do a thorough job is an investment.

Son has completed all his university work and is home, although we still need to retrieve his stuff from Bristol. He has an anxious wait for results now.

I shall be dragging him out in the garden shortly and directing him in various things that need doing! He’s very amenable, so there shouldn’t be too many protests.

I have a governor meeting tonight, so I must get my head round the paperwork... I have read it through once, but need to do so again.

Not speak later :)

It’s always good when you have someone who’s got your back. ;)
It’s seriously very sweet of your son to help. Fingers crossed for his results. Hope your meeting won’t force you to sit for too long. xx

Good Morning Linda,
Glad the physio went well. Not so good that the shoulder has not managed to heal like you wanted. And hopefully you don't need the neurologist for your back.
I also have a lady that cleans my house now. It is too much work to do on top of normal working hours etc. I do however still do the laundry myself, as we have to watch the water situation.
Well done to your son for now being finished. And good luck to him on his results. The waiting part I think is actually worse than the exams.;) And the best is to keep busy while you are waiting. So you are doing him a favour by putting him to work in the garden. Pics please. I love garden pictures.
Hopefully the governor meeting does not run too long and you can get home early.
Not chat later once you are back.

I don't know Carol, I suppose his instinct is telling him it's time to mate. He usually gets over the flashing after a while.
I have read somewhere about torts who pace a lot and even stop eating because they want to find a mate but I wouldn't say he does that.
Most days Lola stays in his hide until I get him out for his bath so it's not as though he's out looking as soon as it's light.
I will do a search and see if there are any threads.
Let me know on your research, as it would be very interesting to see if there is any merit to the theory.

I would love to see the viking ship itself.

Oh Okay, I seem to have caught up. I never know when I am on my computer, as the order of the threads etc, always get jumbled up.

I think that somehow or other Rue has gotten in contact with Jacques, as she seems to be doing alot of Balley moves lately. Notice her back legs..

I think she is practicing for Tort lake.:D:D

Today is overcast again and windy. Hopefully we get some rain to go with that. I went last night searching in the field for some weeds and found some Dandelion plants and plantain. I dug them up and replanted them in my garden. Hopfully they take and start growing. So far any dandelion plants I have found and tried transplanting haven't taken, So I am hoping these ones do take. And if all else fails then I have some seeds coming my way as a back up. Even if it turns out that I don't need them as a back up, I am of the opinion that you cannot have too many of them. As summer is a long time. I also bought some Asian plantain seeds and Plantain (Plantago major) to sow into my garden. as well as evening primrose and medicinal coneflower (Echinacea species)
Am I correct and this is Plantain but the thin leaf one?

Anyway that is my news for now. Hoping you all are having a good day today so far.
