Yes I saw that on the news. Amazing. And then towed the ship to shore.

Clever dog!!
We stayed in Gatineau this summer, and walked across the bridge to Ottawa regularly. [emoji23] I think in terms of job opportunities, one should speak some French in Ontario, at least near the border with Quebec. It’s a very bilingual place. Loved it more than Toronto, I have to say, even if the local species of flora (poison ivy) and fauna (mosquitoes, horse flies) seemed pretty determined to make my life miserable. [emoji85] I’ve learned a lot this summer.
I had two gorgeous Greeks in Turkey, Kristoff and Elsa (kept separately most of the time). Unfortunately, they had to stay there, for more than one reason, but the main of which was the impossibility to take tortoises out of the country. It’s for the protection of native species (Greeks and Hermanns); otherwise poaching was rampant.
Do you have a separate thread about your tort? Is it a sully?
So that means you couldn’t try the largest skating rink in the world! Yes I understand with your Greeks, im sure I could not leave with a wood turtle either. In terms of job opportunities Im pretty sure « L’Île-Du-Prince-Édouard » is not the best unless you’re a big fan of potatos. The mosquitos where that bad eh? Maybe im just used to it haha. Yes for some reason a year ago I tought it was a good idea to ride to Ontarion to buy a sulcata from a terrible breeder. Tought I had done enough research on the subject but now I think tortoises require even more research before getting one, and im not the kind of person to buy animals without doing my research but this time I really failed, heck im still learning stuff a year later! I then tought about trading/selling for a smaller specie but in Can no one knows how to take care of these things and doing so it would be like killing my tort so I just decided I would do my best and keep her. Yes I have a page for her called Sully Gaïa, it’s the name of the restaurant my wife and I went eating for our wedding. Also a fun fact, we got her the day after our wedding so it makes it easier to remember when this is(especially for me) and she hatched exactly on my birthday!
I loved your video. I agree with everyone else about your voice being lovely. I always sound like a hillbilly.
Oh my gosh...oh well.This place has a way of working its way deep into your brain...
I like Yves Rocher. After Sun lotion works on the itch. It's herbs. They also have one with citronella but it's called citron. I didn't really get bit a lot in the everglades but if I did I could get rid of the itching.
No wonder I could barely hear it. At least you're not talking to yourself...It’s my softly spoken, don’t-want-the-neighbours-to-think-I-am-any-more-loony-than-they-already-do voice
We do have 5 gardens bordering ours at the back... there’s plenty of opportunity for being overheard!
From what I heard, most of them were elderly. By then you don't have the energy or mindset to get all freaked out over a bit of wind.
Okay, I kinda went on s fish buying spree today.
I noticed that one of my goldfish was being pestered by the other so I bought a baby Koi.
So far it seems to be working. He kinda breaks up the chasing.
Then, my son wanted another fish as a tank mate for his Betta. He picked 3 tetra. I’ll be watching them carefully since their in the kitchen. I also put back in our Spongebob pineapple hide.
I’ll report back how it’s going. I have a spare tank if needed.
I’ll try to get s video of the new Koi this evening when the sun isn’t shining.

That is so confusing. I like it that we just use the metric system. Although TFO is forcing me to get used to the Fahrenheit system as well. After 10 years or so, it should come naturally to me.
I sort of have key equivalents built into my head..I might not know exactly the temp “over there”, but good enough
Every 1 degree of C = 1.8 degrees F.
For example for 5C, the formula to get F is: (5°C × 1.8) + 32 = 41°F
Key Equivalents to Remember
0 C = 32 F
10 C = 50 F
15 C = 60 F
20 C = 68 F
30 C = 85 F
40 C = 105 F
Screen shot or I'll forget again.
What a great idea having Sully Gaia remind you not to forget your wedding anniversary!!
Hey...ive been up that way to the Rideau Canal....our family has a cabin up there in NY on the US/Canada border. Lots of places to visit by boat.
Do you mean Cheryl Hills?
She went a heck of a long way to rehome a sully called Little Bit recently, I can't think of anyone else who's done a big trip.
How cute. I only get one every year. I always manage to find the little one every year. Maybe I should do a toad home early and let the baby stay in my front yard flower bed. I just don't feel like they're safe there because people let their cats roam. I always move them to my tortoise enclosure and of course baby got out as usual. Last years little toad stayed on the deck though. Even posed for pictures.It’s somewhere for toads to live. They’re in ponds breeding right now, but after that they disperse and like damp cool places to hide. They’re really good at eating slugs, so they’re definitely to be encouraged in the garden.
Mine is a concrete one like this which is placed under our red hot poker plants (kniphofia) in a cool and shady area that doesn’t get much sun.

Wifey and I looked at a few houses today.
I could really see myself relaxing poolside after a long hard day of kayaking.
Some nice gardening opportunities as well.

Us hillbillies call them tadpoles.
I can’t open pic[emoji51] I did web view and it took me some where else. It’s been frustrating lately.
Glad you saw a few homes.
Nice.
It worked! Nice pool!!
