COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Just popping in to say 'Hi!' before dashing off to do chores.
Will be cleaning Jacques' tank today. I'm also out of fish, and she is refusing her turtle kibbles, as expected! So a trip to the grocery is called for!
TTFN

Good morning, Bea.
Love to Jacques , tell her to behave.
And love to Elsa, too.

I like being a snake because i'm rather reptilian by nature and don't like to use my limbs.
Some would call me sinuous , too.

How about this one, Adam?

[Linhdan Nguyen]

Good morning, Linhdan, how lovely to see you, so to speak.
All good here, how have you been ?

Hi Adam ! I've been okay. How about you ? How was class ?

Indeed not.
The hijab could be more colourful.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

About the same.

oooh, sounds interesting. Good thing i'm not in your class !
Winter break is ending for me & I want to cry thinking about how I will only have 1 day off out of the week. Though that day will be used to make meals for the week coming.

How miserable.

At least it's been a nice long break.

It's never long enough.

Good evening all. I haven't done much today. I even slept through the first two sets of the Australian Open tennis final - Federer v Nadal - which is not something I would normally do being a humongous tennis fan.

Anyway Roger won and they both played great tennis

My energy levels seem to be picking up this evening, so after another early night and catching up with the chore backlog, I hope to be back up to speed in the next day or two

Missed you all x

What a horrible day!
Lower 50s and cold rain.
Last night I went out back to swap out the 50 watt tortoise black heat lamps with 75 watters. And found one had burned out! All 7 tortoises were piled into the other house.
It reminds me of the last time it got too cool, there was ALSO a burned out bulb. These come on every night in the winter, but seem to only fail on the nights they are needed.
@Tom was right!
I need to swap over to CHE.
Black incandescent work, but they are too unreliable.

Well thank you for the recognition! That is another one of those things that I know only because I learned it THE HARD WAY.

And by the way, my CHE from 1991 is still running strong. But I did have my first one ever burn out for no apparent reason. It was a ZooMed one. I can't be sure how old it is because I've got a lot of them, but I haven't bought one in 10 years or more, so its at least that old. I still have half a dozen others in continuous use for all that time that are working perfectly.
