You too Linda.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

Oh no. That sucks. I hope the rain does not put too much of a damper on the festivities. I am unable to see the pic again. Oh well hopefully it will come through later.

No. My son plays hockey for his school and they play their matches on Saturdays. Which I go and watch. I did not take photos today but here is one I took a couple of weeks ago.

We don't have much ice here to play ice hockey. So we play normal hockey.
Around here they hatch in September, so he probably over-wintered in the nest and came out quite recently. After lunch I'll be going out there and giving the yard a very close inspection. There are normally 4, sometimes 5 eggs per nest.That is very tiny! Newly hatched I assume

In South Africa it is first Rugby, then cricket. And in schools hockey is third.Don’t feel ignorant. The CDR has become all about learning about other countries. I think all of us have learned new things about what is considered normal!
There are very few ice rinks in the UK so that is a natural restriction on both play and support. It doesn’t get cold enough to play outdoors. There is a team in Gillingham, about 20 miles from me, but it doesn’t have a big following. It is remarkably hard to keep an ice rink frozen, even indoors, if the weather isn’t cold enough. Hence British ice rinks are more common the further north you go in the UK.
The Scandinavian countries, The Netherlands and the Eastern European countries like Russia have better facilities and colder weather and play it more. Here in the UK it is largely something that gets watched during the winter Olympics... there’s nothing like USA v Canada for a good punch up
Here in the UK, the number one team sport is football (what you call soccer probably) Rugby Union, Cricket and Rugby League all have big followings too, but nothing like as big as football. Field hockey is played in schools, but doesn’t have a particularly big following either... bigger than ice hockey though!

Aaawwwww. Cute.
Oh wow - he's lovely!
Are the other eggs likely to hatch or old ones?
I haven't filled it yet. That's one of my jobs for tomorrow. I'm thinking of using filtered water because I don't want to use our tap water. Thank God pet smart will test the water for free. Since the tank is so small changing a gal.a week is only about 60cents per week. I want to let it go ahead and build it's own bacteria. Then I have time to learn more. I plan on buying the water from a machine at my local kroger.
