Jungles always look good to me. Probably feels awful though.

 

[Yvonne G]

West Europe is the biggest part. You are German ....... LOL !

We may even be related!

 

[Bee62]

Oops. That was a typo. I did type penguins but auto correct changed it to penguin. [emoji17]

No problem. Silly and Willy breed. In future there will be more penguins....

 

[Bee62]

We may even be related!

Why not ? I would`t mind. Maybe you are my very rich aunt from America

I have never heard the first frog and it said something about South Africa. I wonder where they are.

Not much to find about this frog

So I walk past the enclosure today and see this.[emoji85] [emoji85] View attachment 241504

Cute little climber ! They know where the best food is. I love clever tortoises.

You are right. Very little information.

They wanted me to go on the Microwave Oven version of the programme -
'Fasterchef'

Did it not pan out as planned in the end?

My cousin and I are going to start researching our parents family tree this summer.
They were brother and sister and we know practically nothing their family history so it will be interesting.
Trouble is our grandparents name was Jones - the most common name in Wales, if not the UK, so we will have our work cut out.

It certainly does sound like you have your work cut out for you. Good luck with it. I think it won't be a easy project at all.

Thank your blessings for that Sabine!
He has been wandering in and out and basking a little more today.
He's being very brave!!

Way to go, Lola!!

It is like having a baby who has learnt to walk. Now I have to tort proof the pot so that Rue can get down without flipping.

I can't handle it anymore.[emoji23] [emoji23]

“Find”? Oh, are you one of those people who just go out and “find” torts and turtles...like Carol and Ed (ZEROPILOT)??

 

[Kristoff]

my daughter has a bath tub sunk down into the ground, filled with water in which she planted water lilies. A couple years ago a frog decided it would be a nice place to live and he's been there ever since! He's very big now and has a lovely voice.

What a cool idea!

 

[Kristoff]

Oh no. That is not good. Do you think it is her ear again?

Nope. At least not that :/

 

[CarolM]

Nope. At least not that :/

Thank goodness for that at least.

I received my Ancestry.com DNA results this a.m.


Europe West 46%
Great Brittain 25%
Finland/Northwest Russia 8%
Europe East 6%
Scandenavia 6%
Iberian Penninsula 4%
IR/SC/Wales 3%

So I guess you might say I'm a mutt!

“Finland / Russia” - They’re almost the same thing, LOL [emoji38]
So, with results like that, you might be a little bit Russian!

 

[Kristoff]

Whahaha. By the sounds of it you would be a winner.[emoji6]

She has a recipe for success!

 

[Kristoff]

Way to go Lola!!!!

SNAP!!!
