That will help you keep track of your bookings John.
Which month is Tidgy this year?

September, my birthday month, so we're both very happy.

Hi everybody. I have had such a brilliant day at daughters graduation. I hadn't realised it would be such a grand occasion and the music was superb. It actually moved me to tears. Definitely a day to remember . This is the Great Hall at Birmingham University.

That's a lovely hall for the graduation. Glad you had a good day

Lancaster's Great Hall is very 1970s. I still felt proud though

Oh Linda yes I am sure you were. I always think there is something about old buildings though that makes me think they sort of remember all that has gone on before in them, the weight of history I assume

Good evening CDR.

We're great, thanks, Tidgy's been practicing her paragliding this afternoon, wifey's mostly asleep and i have been catching up on the months of posts I missed while I was doing some writing.
So glad you're back, used to have fun on Chat.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen you in your own room, lol

THANK you all for your good wishes for Elsa! She had a great visit at the vet: X-ray showed NO more urate stones or flakes!!!!

I'm really pleased with this vet. She is not our regular vet, but joined the practice not too long ago. She asked me a bunch of questions before she examined Elsa. She asked what temperatures I keep her at and how I hydrate her. She asked what I feed her and was glad I don't feed her much spinach- she says she often gets tortoises that are fed ONLY spinach because their owners don't know. She examined her eyes, ears, mouth and skin. She said that Elsa looks great; that her shell is very smooth and "shows no pyramiding at all." She told me a couple stories about tortoises she's treated where the owner didn't understand how to take care of a tortoise. She ended by telling me to keep doing what I'm doing, and that I'm giving Elsa "excellent care!" (polishes halo )

This was the first time Elsa traveled in a car in the 4 years that i've had her. She pooped no less than FOUR times!!!!! So the vet had plenty to sample for parasites (not that we think Elsa's having any parasites, but she's never been examined for them and as long as we were there, why not?)

Hoooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please send my love to Elsa.

Just wanted to share my little who promoted to middle school.
Today was the last day and we always do high fives with the graduating class while they blast loud music and the kids run around doing high fives for like 10 minutes!
So proud of her! She has Dyslexia and only reads at a 3rd grade level but excels in other areas like math. Not a wizard but enjoys it.

Yeah those are super tiny

Mine is a Panther so he'll end up around 14" long or so
