COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

Oh is it your Tortoise ward??? That was so special of you to to do that for him...

No, I won't be getting him for a week or two. This is one I got from one of our members in Arizona - an aberrant scute hatchling sulcata.

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh wow!! It’s a new baby for you to keep!!! A special baby)) What’s Alex’s story?

You got so wired that your mower started to work?? Who needs solar panels?

LOL! The mower is gas powered.

Gusty kayaking today with winds pushing 40-45 mph. Luckily we were mostly protected....and were pushed by the wind back to our launch once we turned around.

LOTS of turtles out and about!

How are you, Linda?

Better than I was but still very sore. I have been warned that it will probably get worse before it gets better and not to panic if it swells or seizes up overnight.

Fingers crossed that it won’t be too bad tomorrow

Until you hear that, hear "She`s got you", Patsy Cline. This is my very favorite song of her.

Beautiful as always Sabine.

I can't find the person that asked for a picture of a blue roof. But here is one of our home in the outback of our yard. Please remember that I don't clean up old plants until spring has sprung.View attachment 268830

They look good together. [emoji6]

 

[CarolM]

My roof is blue too. I'll run out there and take a quick picture. . .

I guess you can't really tell that the shingles are blue. Sun's too bright.

Nope. But the sky is blue and looking beautiful.

Oh that would be great! I wish we lived closer. I would like to sing the duet. You don't bring me flowers. Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand

Sabine loves singing duet.

Well made it thur the first day of grandsons.
It was the first time they saw Opo. They had a blast feeding Opo.

I bet Opo had a blast as well.

Whahaha. That is funny.

Just had a quick look at a website about them.
it would cost me about £6k to buy them and I would only save about £90 - £210 a year on bills. So it would take me at least 30 years to get my money back.
The government incentive scheme ended on 31 March so I wouldn't get any payment from them for generating or sending to the grid.
It's looking less attractive now apart from being environmentally friendly.
Wonder if I could put a wind turbine on the top of my washing line pole instead?

Lol. I need to put up a wind turbine as well.

What happens if a snail loses its shell?

i was in the kitchen messing around and it started getting darker and darker out the window. After a few minutes Thor dropped his hammer on my roof, and now there's thunder and lightning and pouring down rain. I should mention that it was a beautiful sunny day until then.

Say Hi to thor from me.

 

[CarolM]

You have solar panels!!! I’m green with envy [emoji12]

I saw that!!

Good evening! Today has been a good day for us.. son had an appointment at his eye specialist this morning and he has no permanent damage!!! He had 4 blisters In his eye but they are healing well now. He will continue medication for a couple weeks but we are over the worst.. we came home and I did a little gardening in the sunny weather with Toretto following my every move.. a couple hours later, I noticed that he was MIA... I looked everywhere and even asked my son if he had the gate open any. Finally, I went over and peeked in the door of his box and..... he was in There on his mat!!!! YAYYY... but wait, it gets better... today is weigh day so I sent my son in the box to bring him out so I could soak n weigh. When we finished, I just put him down in the yard... 30 min later, he was back in the box.. [emoji322] [emoji324] [emoji323] [emoji95].

Yayyyyyy. Well dine Toretto. You clever tort!!

 

[CarolM]

So far every one that took the voice challenge sounded so beautiful...so I'm getting myself in so much trouble. I'll come off sounding like a hillbilly toad if I can figure out how to...

It is easy. You just record a video and then upload it to youtube. Then you copy the link and post it here on a post.

Good mornooning everyone.

I am without my car again today, which is a nuisance, as JoesDad needs mine to get to work. JoesDad’s car went in to have new brake pads yesterday and they found a brake fluid leak. It now needs a new calliper too

The mechanic videos the problem and sends it to you so you can see what he’s talking about. It was early stages and hadn’t affected braking, but the idea of brake failure on the road is scary!

I agree.
