They are so beautiful!
We just received notice that the grounds of our old doctor's home is to be built on so I have notified them that slow worms are very prevalent in the area. I am good friends with one of the daughters and when I was a child I used to go there to play, we were always finding them in the garden and compost heaps. The old house was demolished and their beautiful garden dug up years ago but it was left to let nature take its course so I would be very surprised if they don't find plenty there. If there were at least 70 in my sister's garden there must be hundreds in this huge plot. I think I'll see of I can volunteer to go and track them down.
I hope all goes well on the job front for your daughter!
Good to hear that Ed, your poor mom has been through the mill!
What a shame, Ed, but great that you are such a responsible breeder.
I could never breed them as, like you, I would need to be sure they had good homes.
Bad timing - understandable but what a shameHad a phone call today from someone rehoming four Greeks around 60 years old for an elderly lady. It's too soon to take one
Evening all!
Can't believe almost a week of my hols has gone already but its been busy and quite therapeutic clearing out old papers.
It's amazing how much junk you accumulate for teaching resources.
At least the move to a new school has forced everyone to have a sort out.
I could do with my own paper recycling skip - or three!

There's no point relocating them until there's a reptile fence round the site to prevent new ones moving in. Once that's done, all you need is squares of roof felt and free time morning and evening

I disagree. You're not replacing Joe, you're just getting another tortoise. After Bob (my sister's sulcata) died little sulcatas came her way from here and there (she's a sap for a rescue), and, while none of them are Bob, it did help her a whole lot to start taking care of another tortoise again and get her mind off of how much she misses Bob.
Yup - metal corrugated sheeting and old carpet works well too.There's no point relocating them until there's a reptile fence round the site to prevent new ones moving in. Once that's done, all you need is squares of roof felt and free time morning and evening
The county ecologist has to have a say on where to put them too - or they did when I last moved some.

have fun mum
I didn't know this coming Sunday was easter until last night when the news guy showed the 7 day forecast and the little easter icon was over Sunday's square. I noticed last week that my Walmart grocery store has Smithfield's spiral cut ham. But $23 is an awful lot to spend on a hunk of meat for one person. But now my mouth is watering for ham, darn it.
But I think ham freezes pretty well. You'd probably be set for the year!
I've just about got myself talked into getting it. And I can freeze some and give the rest to my son-in-law, the garbage pit.
