Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

So far so good. It's boiling hot here: temp reached 40 degrees temp in Amman! I love it, though poor Oli is melting in the heat. What's the weather like back in Fes?
Good evening, Gillian, good evening, Oli. :)
46 °C today
wifey melting in the heat while we doing some photos today
Tidgy is getting lots of cold soaks and showers, but is well and happy
So nice to hear from you :D

Hmmm
Tidgy likes cool water at this time, but it's never very cold even from the tap
I love it, but poor wifey is suffering and her phone overheated today up on the terrace

evenoonin all!! well the wee mazda is away, i was too busy working to interact with them!! however, they are a hungarian couple and andor is best on the front ;) he even got DOUBLE the original price quoted, and ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1502141704.689079.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1502141730.927322.jpgonly took £5 off my cut, despite my protests... and he gave me a pac of fags.. so he took nothing from me!

good few hours today with bertha, she done her bit, and never even left any holograms! new deffect in paint this type of machine can cause.

andor got back around 1800, so ray came out to play ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1502141386.357021.jpg

was too dark for a decent pic when it came out, but a LOT of swirls removed which isn't bad with time frame and conditions.. and it's got 150k on the clock.

Hi Gillian

It's great to have you back in the CDR. The armadillos are squirming with delight :) :)

The trouble with Mrs wifey was that she gave all her love to somebody else, and that somebody was a small tortoise called Alfie. Every day, when Mr Adam looked over his balcony and saw Mrs wifey whispering endearments to Alfie and stroking his shell, he felt absurdly jealous, a real case of Tortoise Envy. He wouldn't even have minded becoming a tortoise himself if it meant Mrs wifey stroking his shell each morning, and whispering endearments to him.

Finished my new tortoise house except for the roof and chimney.
Should get it finished tomorrow, once i've thought of a way of achieving the 'thatched roof' effect.
i don't have any straw and wifey won't let me use her hair. :(

Good morning all.

Pleased to read Page 7 :)

The weather forecast for us is WET today with a weather warning for extreme downpours. I guess I won't be going far today!
Good morning, Linda. :)
Page 8 today.
Hopefully.
Just got a thatched roof to do.
Got the chimney done this morning.
Very, very hot here, even for us.
