What was the Title? and/or your username? I’ll look for it.
All sounds very fun.. what’s “tapas”??
( got to make sure I don’t miss out on that) ..
Farm animal show Pics are just what we need to see! Add a little Royalty in and we are Grand!!!
And happy B-day to hubby... hope you celebrate lots for him
We must have tapas together when I’m a little closer to you! It’s a platter of, usually, cold cuts, sausages, possibly cheese, nuts, fruit — something small and easy to eat that goes well with the wine.
The word and the tradition come from Spain; there are several legends about how it started but when we were there, we were told this one (exact text taken from Wikipedia):
A final possibility surrounds Felipe III, who passed a law in an effort to curb rowdy drunken behavior, particularly among soldiers and sailors. The law stated that when one purchased a drink, the bartender was to place over the mouth of the mug or goblet a cover or lid containing some small quantity of food as part of the purchase of the beverage, the hope being that the food would slow the effects of the alcohol, and fill the stomach to prevent overimbibing.
There were plenty of tapas bars in Madrid and we were able to bar-hop from one to another without eventually needing any dinner (but badly needing an Aspirin and a bed).
That’s really really sad about the sea turtles.
But good to have you back. Do you know what might have killed them?
Lots of expats and immigrants, including from India, around here.
I had just recently learned one plays cricket with a bat — the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was the extent of my “knowledge” about cricket! (And before that I only knew the insect... )
Daughter will be playing for her school (?!) because an Indian classmate convinced her to sign up.

Hi Noel! How are you?
Nah it’s fine now, I could whack it against the wall and it should be fine....... I won’t actually do that
Another comparison with a fast growing Sulcata?
Only it would be your foot?

Does it look like something that needs an urgent call to Animal Control? I like surprise eggs, but only the chocolate ones. [emoji33]
An optimist! I’m here biting my nails, trying to keep Sci-Fi doomsday scenarios out of my head! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
I am celebrating a run of good news tonight
1. Son has received a substantial pay rise as recognition for his work
2. My sister has news that her job is safe. Her employer has been trying to sell the business and was intending to shut down completely in September if they hadn’t managed to sell up. The new owner wants to retain her.
3. The little girl I babysat for * cough * thirtyish * mumble* * splutter * years ago has just announced her engagement.
I am going to bed with a smile on my face. Good night all
Yay!
Yay! and
Yay!
Hope you had the sweetest dreams after all that exciting news!
Ominous music! How appropriate! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
OK, all went quiet in the CDR after Heather’s eggs started cracking with some ominous music as a soundtrack... Hello? Anybody still there?? Where did all the jellyfish go? I can’t see a thing!
Douglas Adams wrote about the Krikkit Wars very well. If you know and understand the game you can see he encapsulated it perfectly

Hopefully, there’ll be hatchling news soon. I can’t wait!

It is the most brilliant reference point for any new Sulcata keeper who claims they will be able to keep their baby in their house forever [emoji1]
A picture paints a thousand words... or in this case ... a grown Sulcata walks through any darn wall it pleases.

I’ve heard of a sulcata breaking through a glass door before, not sure where though.

“Of all the races in the Galaxy, only the English could possibly revive the memory of the most horrific wars ever to sunder the Universe and transform it into what I’m afraid is generally regarded as an incomprehensibly dull and pointless game.” [emoji23] One of my favorite passages.
Bad start with one of the opening batsmen out with only 1 run scored.
However we are now looking a bit better at 100/1 (that’s 100 runs scored for the loss of only 1 batsman )
The South African fielder right in front of us is Van der Bussen. These aren’t even top category seats, but we got front row!
