COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good afternooning all. My leg continues to make progress, but I am not exactly back up to speed yet. I am having to force myself to behave

It’s grey and drizzling here. Damp and uninspiring.

There’s not much to report other than we shall be staying in and watching the Boat Race (annual rowing challenge between Oxford and Cambridge Universities on the River Thames) and the Grand National (probably the most famous UK horse race) on television.

Have a good Saturday everyone

Good morning Linda - it's hard to sit still isn't it?
It's dry here with sunny spells today so I'll be going for a little walk, although my left knee is playing up again and clicking a lot - doesn't feel very stable at all, so I've got that strapped up. If it's not one thing it's another!
I'd forgotten the boat race is on today, I'll be joining you watching that! Have a good day!

Good morning all. !
Today is the day of the annual Crawfish boil and the weather looks ominous.... again[emoji35]. Every year, it’s difficult to pick a date that we can host the boil where hubby and closest friends are home at the same time. We are very limited.. and for the past 3 years, it rains!!! Oh well.... guess we will make the best of it... on another note, Toretto has settled in nicely with the comings and goings of his yard and box so I’ve been leaving the door/ ramp open the past couple nights. I did install a camera for my peace of mind..[emoji16] one more addiction[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Happy Saturday all. An overcast start to our day, foggy, but sun should be peaking out soon warming everything and making it a standsrd “Spring-like” day.

In between some wood working, we went out and bought 10 bags of mulch (on sale @Lowes) to continue our spring mulching of flower beds and trees. So far - 20 bags in.

Have a good time at the boil. I saw increased weather warnings from Texas running this way. Winds, rain, hail in the forecast.

Nice your Toretto is settling in. Wish our weather warmed up sooner. Our poor Sully has been inside now since mid-October. Six months confined to indoors living. Funny thing about having them out, they do get to be independent - venturing out, walking about, basking, eating...etc. have fun!

Good to see Toretto looking very much at home.
No possibility of any snakes or predators looking for heat getting in the open door overnight?
Have a good day with your boil I'm sure you and your friends will have fun whatever the weather.

I am sure the Crawfish taste just as good no matter what the weather. Enjoy

Happy Saturday for everyone !
Spring in Germany let grow a lot of fresh grass. It is to cold for torts being outside, that`s why the grass has to come to the torts inside ! And they love it.
Look:

Hockey to everyone outside North America means field hockey... not ice hockey! Ice hockey is played elsewhere in the world, but is nowhere new as popular as it is the USA and Canada

Sabine they are getting even more beautiful as they grow They are a real credit to you!

There isn`t really a "boss" between the four, but the biggest and friendliest one is the one on the left side. His name is "Leo" and I think he is a friendly, lovely male. The tort in the back got her "portion" grass a little bit later and started eating immediately. They are so cute little dinosaurs !

Thank you Linda. It seems I have a "green thumb" for tortoises. A "tortoise thumb" you might say. All of my torts are growing well. This year my sulcatas will get a bigger enclosure in my stable. More space to roam and to grow and I think the two aldabras I put in the enclosure where the sulcatas are at present.

Other people pick grass for their bunnies. I pick grass for my torts !
