My Grandads looking forward to looking after them. He used to have a Hermann’s tortoise in the 70s, back then they were all imported and people just let them roam around the garden freely. He gave it to a tortoise lady to look after while on holiday but he fell on his back
I imagine if that didn’t happen then he would still be around when I was small, he was a hardy tort.
Enjoy your holiday Ben and good luck on your last exam.Hello everyone!
Final exam tomorrow, German.
I’ll be going on holiday for a week soon and I’m leaving the tortoises with my grandparents. I’m a bit nervous about that as I’ve never left them before but I will make a care guide for them with all the vet details
I didn’t know you did German LindaOi! Some of us still do it! Joe was a 1970s import too
Good luck with the German exam. I amazed myself by passing my German O Level back in 1980. I wasn’t good at it and we had a terrible teacher. I got an A in French, but was more excited by my C in German
Have a wonderful holiday
. Sam my grandads tortoise would disappear for days and once he emerged from his winter burrow that was located in next doors garden and scared the lady who lived there
All finished, it’s was only an hour long exam plus extra time for me. Yippee
Yep it is quite warm and the torts are outYay! Now you can relax properly... until August
Enjoy your day. I hope it’s as sunny in Sussex as it is in Kent
So to catch up:
Happy birthday for yesterday @EllieMay. I hope you had a wonderful day
Yvonne, I hope you got your rest day in. You are both Mom and Dad to many shelled creatures and deserve it. I have my fingers crossed for your little soft shell newbie. Hopefully it is just shock and the little guy will recover with time.
Good mornooning everyone.
Monday has brought sunshine to Kent so I need to get out in the garden and deal with the lawn and prune a few things with triffid tendencies. If anyone needs about half a ton of rosemary, the bush by my front door is currently way out of control and needs severe treatment. We have bad thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow and Wednesday, so I need to get out while I can!
All finished, it’s was only an hour long exam plus extra time for me. Yippee
Happy belated birthday @EllieMay
Sorry
now I know.
Thank you. Today is Opo's birthday so there will be some pics of the celebration.
Yeah I know
I was just doubting if I had the ability to care for Opo in the future. But I was watching him waking up this morning. The ritual that he goes thru just amazes me. The yawns are a bonus.
Send me a pic. I refer to myself as Jack of all trades master of none. I have always fixed repairs around the house. Built my first house at 21 and never stopped learning since. It was harder in the 80"s. You had to figure things out yourself or pry some info from a tradesman that didn't want to give his knowledge up for free. No Google back then.
