Sorry to keep y’all waiting!! It’s been a loooooong day.. it is a11:49 pm and I’ve just managed to make it in my pillow but I can’t sleep without telling y’all:) A very good friend of mine cane and stayed with me last night & she & I left early this morning and drove just a little under 4hrs to Houston Texas where we picked up Toretto. Toretto was 2 yrs old in May and her owner couldn’t keep her due to a move. It was very sad because the owner obviously loved and spoiled her. Toretto came “all inclusive”.... so we spent some time disassembling and loading her huge enclosure , accessories, and food.. then we headed back. We had to make a couple stops but finally made it to school to pick up my son. He was anxiously looking for her:) then we came home and Toretto got to check out her new play ground while we re-assembled her indoor inclosure.

Check out her aberrant scute!!! She’s so special and I’m in love.. she really has a great personality!!! I have not weighed or measured her yet, I just ran out of time. She has a bit or pyramiding but her owner had already changed her care to correct it so she will grow smoother soon. Seems to be very healthy and active.. I call her “she” because her previous owner felt that it was... honestly,, I haven’t even looked... I’m so proud to add her to the family. !

Massive thunder and lightning storm just rumbled through here. Filled my empty 55 gallon rain barrel in about 5 minutes. Also got a new connector pipe so I can add another barrel. Yeah.

Storm passing by now....Sully had to get out of his house and wade about in a few inches of nice muddy water.
Does Sully like storms? Joe loved them. He would always be in the middle of the lawn in a thunderstorm!

Good morning all!

Son came home last night. He needs his Dad's help with his first ever tax return; JoesDad is an accountant. Normally, most people pay tax through their payroll, but Son's got complicated by doing some self employed work in his final year at university.

JoesDad and I are off to Stratford Upon Avon in the Midlands this afternoon. Stratford is the birthplace of playwright William Shakespeare. We are going to see The Merry Wives of Windsor, a comedy, being performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company; it has great reviews. Falstaff is played by David Troughton who, as Adam would no doubt tell you, is the son of second Dr Who, Patrick Troughton.

Sounds like A grand adventure!!! Son is lucky to have a reliable Accountant available.. it takes our CPA several times to get things right[emoji35]
Enjoy the Play!!! I’m envious:)

Nice looking Sully - great job at getting things set up for him or her.

Hi Carol. I am fine and my torts seem to settle in easily. They eat like little piglets. The only thing they must learn is that I don`t want to eat them !:rolleyes:
Do you have special plans for the weekend ?
Lol. I am sure that they will figure that out very quickly. I had a friend over and I have changed the substrate in my torts enclosure. Other than that just planning on doing some reading and relaxing. And you?
