Taking mom to a cataract surgery today. It should be a pretty straightforward procedure but keep us in your thoughts just in case.
Cataract surgery is routine these days. It amazes me when you see surgeons working for charities in a remote bit of Africa doing dozens in a day with the patient just sat on a chair!

Nonetheless, I hope it goes well for your Mom. The surgery made a huge difference to my Grandmother. Give her a hug from the CDR :)

In Thailand and surrounding countries, it is considered good fortune to have geckos in your house. Male Geckos in those places make loud noises when attracting a mate.
In Morocco they are silent.
Funny that.
Evolution in action.
Ours are also silent. The best I can tell. The ones still living.

good mornooning world!! had a great kip and feeling fit :p

fidos having a bath then it's time to go be awesome;)

have a great day everyone:)
Good afternoon, John. :)
Been out checking on the only tortoise in the area other than Tidgy which isn't currently hibernating.
Got a call that it's not eating.
I'm not surprised, their house is freezing.
Gave it a long warm soak and gave it some of Tidgy's little tortoise treats and some turnip tops. It gobbled down the whole lot!
Most splendid.:):tort:
They hadn't been giving it warm soaks or putting it out in the sun during the heat of the day, despite my previous instructions, the garden it is in is shaded at this time of year, but they have a terrace that gets sun.
I will check again when I return from Spain, they should've hibernated it, but the children keep it awake.
Hope you're being especially awesome today.:)

Those geckos are everywhere now. I buy a magazine, and what do I find on its pages?

(At least it's just a pic, not a real one...) :D
Good afternoon, Lena.:)
They're much more welcome than meerkats.
Though those look more like skinks to me.
Good morning early risers! It's sure good to be able to have a visit to the CDR over my first coffee back in my routine :)

Another frosty start today. Not as cold as yesterday. It's only -2C :)
Still too Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! for me!
Good afternoon, Linda. :)
I had a coffee but no CDR or i'd never get out in the morning.
I do what has to be done and then log on or I's be on here all day!
But it's so good to have the forum working properly again.:)
