COLD DARK ROOM

[Squirt16]

Yes, the UVB output drops off long before the bulb blows, so you need to plan for replacing it every 9 months.

Ahhhh I see.

Righto, I have a lesson in 6 hours, so better get a bit of light reading in and then some kip.
Goodnight, Roommates.
Don't forget the Christmas card exchange and the TORTOISE.
Ta ta for now.

Can I be in the TORTOISE but not the card exchange? Not too keen on the cards here but Turkish bazaars are unrivaled for gift hunting

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How do you know when it needs replacing ?

The only way to be sure is if you buy a UV metre, but these are terribly expensive, so I just replace mine each winter to be sure. (I only use mine for a few wees a year).

Don't think I can get Christmas cards here at all, but I'll send postcards of camels, I expect.
Of course you can just do the TORTOISE, it's nice to have a choice though I'm glad the card thing is going too.
Some will do only one of them, some will do both and some neither.
I'm not going to hold guns to people's heads.
Maybe next year I will.

Kip? I used to smoke something called Kip.I think. What is it?

Hello, Roommates!
The card exchange is now up and running.
If anyone wants to send and/ or receive Christmas cards from other Roommates then please add your name, address and country to the Testing Adam's theory of relativity PM. If you're not on it but wish to join in then please tell me or Yvonne so we can have you added to it.
Don' forget there are now only two days to get yourself involved in the TORTOISE or Not So Secret Santa.
No pressure, you don't have to do both or either, just a couple of optional fun things this year for the CDR.
HOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair play, sir!
I'm slightly annoyed as my student hasn't called and is now more than an hour late.
Still, at least I've been able to post a bit in here and elsewhere on the forum .
And the disc drive on my laptop is being naughty and not recognizing blank discs.

Yep, I think one of them got his tail caught in it.
Tying to extricate it now.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yup, they pay in advance and are charged for "no shows" whatever the reason.

I know that's the problem with this country never warm enough!, with the substrate could I use sphagnum moss all over?

Quite.
One of the reasons I left for warmer climes.
