Very true. Philip is Greek
Good to hear about Lola.
Now he's more active and exercising again, he'll hopefully poop soon.
See you later.

Yes.
When do you get your new passport?
What's blue and smells or red paint ?
Blue paint.
So, I've washed my fossils from the Tarifa oyster bed and will now share some of the photos with The Cold Dark Roommates.
These are upper Miocene so about 5 to 10 million years old.
First off, some oysters.
The interior of the oyster above is shown below.
Note the concentric ovals of one of the muscle aductor scars.

At least it's real conversation.
Anyway, Ed's not English, Bea's not, Linhdan's not; Lena's not, Grandpas' not, Ken's not, you're not, John's not, etc. and I'm only half.
And apparently I'm chopped liver
Next some pectinids, or shells from the scallop family.
This first one is a rather battered scallop maximum length of specimen 3 inches. Note the little pectinid fragment stuck to it and the bryozoan 'moss animal' under the hole near the top.
There were some better preserved, large scallop shells half exposed in the rocks but without proper equipment I would have broken them getting them free, so I left them alone.
The reverse of the above specimen :
Full of broken shells and little sponges, bryozoans and tiny coral pieces.
The next few are smaller pectinids or baby scallops, not sure yet, detailed analysis later.
You can see all sorts of other broken bits of shell, and other calcareous animals including a bit of a fan bryozoan. maximum length of rock is just over 3 inches.
The next one only half an inch long.
And below three quarters of an inch.
And also
And finally, in this section, a spiny species, just over an inch long.

We see so little of you these days, Cameron.
Anyway, you're an Earthling, apparently, and that's enough.
Though i have assumed you may live in the USA from your shopping basket.
This is too photo heavy.
Will have to spread these photos out a bit.

And tomorrow, also, will be the tale of what the postman had tried to deliver while I was away.
Night night Roommates.
See you all tomorrow.
See you all tomorrow.
Good morning all.
Sat in bed with a coffee listening to something banging around in the roof. We have had problems with a grey squirrel causing damage in the past so fear the worst It needs investigation later.

But no squirrels.
Good afternoon, Linda.
I had two friends at uni who became pest controllers.
They used to catch pests like grey squirrels and pigeons and didn't like to kill them.
So they released them all in a neighbouring borough until they became a problem and then got paid to catch them and move them all into the next borough and so on. I would have thought the pigeons would have just flown home, but apparently not.
