I think the heaters would make the bugs breed and spread, better to keep it cold and just add a few more layers!
Good point, but I am into the bio-active environments right now, so if the bugs are cleaning crew then they can stay. Or we can ask the Wool spider (if she exists) to knit extra blankets.

I don't think it's clover - at least not like any we have in the UK.
Our clover has small white or purple round flowers and the leaves have a fine white line across them.

Well I can't put it off any longer it's time for me to hit the hay but I'm not looking forward to the crawl up the stairs.
Maybe I'll sleep on the sofa tonight and try to find a bungalow to move to tomorrow!;)
Anyway those of you still in Monday, enjoy the rest of your day and I will see you tomorrow.
Nos Da for now!
Nighty night Lyn. You need one of those electric chairs to take you upstairs. Could you not get the insurance to hire one for you?

Hello again everyone. Recovery from this chest infection is dreadfully slow. Fortunately my shower-bashed head didn't develop concussion. Last night, I got the best night's sleep I have had in well over a fortnight. Still not great, but going in the right direction. My course of antibiotics finishes on Thursday, but I see myself returning to my doctor as my chest is still rattling - just not as badly as it was.

Hopefully, I will start to feel bothered about doing things soon.

In the meantime I hope everyone else is well and that @Lyn W is recovering
Glad to see that you are still around and at least part way able to kick. Sending some more get better vibes.

Sjoe, was a nice and long catch up. Loved it.

Yesterday I was a bit down, but today totally feel better. Besides hubby is coming home. I will probably want to send him right back out again after 5 minutes of being home, but for now I am happy that he is on his way back.:D Ye ye, I know a total contradiction, but there you go, I am female and very moody for the last couple of days.

yesterday I finally received a memory card for my camera in the tort set up and I have set the timer to record for today. I want to see if I can speed the video up and then post a day in the life of the gang on here. But we will see, as I am self taught when it comes to computers and sometimes these things just elude me totally. If all else fails hopefully my eldest will be able to help me.

It is windy again here today. Normally I love the wind as it helps to relieve the heat, but I am in a office and I get home to find lots of sand all over the place, so not loving it very much lately.

My little experiment with the box and the wet cloth and leaves etc, does not seem to have captured anymore isopods yet. I have caught ants and those little creepy crawly things where the tail end branches off into two . Let us see if I can find a pic on google. Google says it is a centipede and I don't think that those are supposed to be used as cleaning crew. so that experiment was / is a bust. I will leave the box there though in the hopes that one day I might get lucky and find a few.

So now I have put two planks down and put some leave mulch between the two. I however still need to check and see if there are any isopods there. I do see my one little isopod come out at night, but the poor thing cannot keep up with four baby torts.

Anyway hope you are all having a good Tuesday.

Get well soon, Linda!

I’m happy to report that I took a step in the right direction too: I had just about enough energy this morning to clean up the house. Hopefully that killed off a few germs... Now I need to gather enough energy to attend a short meeting. [emoji849]

You had me totally confused when I read your post. As I had thought you were a man but then when you posted your post I then thought okay I had it wrong and you are female. Over here (or at least in my circle) males do not get pedicures and manicures. :eek: :D:D
LOL I don't think any of my male friends go to salons either. When I tell that joke some people laugh, some start to laugh and then think they shouldn't. Then some just have a sad look on their face and say...... you poor man I am so sorry what happened to you if you don't mind what happened?
I observe it all. It gives me satisfaction when they laugh. It makes me chuckle when they look guilty. And for the last group. I instantly say to myself...... ok you have codependency issues. But I think myself the way I fodder over Opo so do I.
It all helps me deal with what I was dealt.

it is a good attitude to have and I am very impressed with it. Not very many people have that kind of attitude. I take my hat off to you. Well if I wore one I would. ;)
