COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Whahaha. I am scared of venturing into the dark side.

It is DARK!!

On the Dark Side of TFO - where there are OTHER issues, ppl, and photos! I know, shudder!

 

[CarolM]

Lol. Won't be me as I missed a good few posts and did not go back and read them all. I need a summary myself.

No, but if one waits long enough one of our more educated members will summarize for us!!! (hint, hint)

 

[CarolM]

Why would that rule you out? Are you not educated?

That rules me out then

 

[CarolM]

Love the photos.

Hello everyone. We went to a different reserve in the Camargue today; the marais de Vigueirat. We arrived as it opened and a guided tour of part of the reserve not generally open was about to depart. We went on it. Just us, a French lady and a guide who spoke little English.

We did fine. My French is passable and the internet translated bird names from French to English and vice versa... The guide was really good and we saw and identified many things that we couldn’t have done without him.

Yes but I’m not great at academic things, things that suit my interests like animals, I do really well in. I’ve been told that I’m good at problem solving when it comes to animals lol

We will see if those five years have taught me anything.

A wonderful variety of birds, certainly not something you see everyday

Well from what I can see I would have to disagree. I think you are a very smart young man. And a summary is just writing down what you remember.

Yes but I’m not great at academic things, things that suit my interests like animals, I do really well in. I’ve been told that I’m good at problem solving when it comes to animals lol

Whew.....cut some grass today, strimmed and watered. We just shopped a bit for a few things...

It’s HOT out! Time to chill a bit.

 

[CarolM]

Go take a run through the sprinklers!

If that would work I’d do it, but it just gets hotter, more steamy, and wet shorts! Time for a siesta i think.

Somehow, this doesn’t seem inductive to napping [emoji12]

It's been super busy around home, trying to get a couple more reptile enclosures put together so we can move the red lady bearded dragon and the spotted turtle hatchlings (x2) out of their temporary quarters.

Quick pictures of the new hatchling spotted turtles. When they get settled in, they will get a new thread of their own.

Quick pictures of our new red lady bearded dragon... She's about 8 inches long (total length) and weighed 20 grams a couple days ago.

Yes I've been awaiting patiently for Carol M to give her Monday summary.

Remember that to a certain part of the world that if you don't publish a paper then their is no way you can be an expert. Academia are so special

She's so pretty. I love her turquoise spots. God dressed her up like a princess.
