Thanks for that. :)
I had an idea they wouldn't be called Russians but didn't know what they were called. I have learned something. :)
I would quite like a Russian. But can't get them here, Tidgy would get jealous and wifey isn't keen on getting another tort. :(
Except Alfie? :D

Ah, I just realized the potential for confusion in my post. "Own" was meant to refer to countries, not us, tort parents! Personally, I'd take 10 of those and couldn't be happier! :) Maybe some day...

Good morning all.

The car passed its MOT and now I am attempting to update the SatNav map on it. It's an 18 Gigabyte download and that's going to take well over an hour just to get it on a Flash Drive. Heaven only knows how long it'll take for the car to upload it. We've had the car 3 years and we have never done it before.

And this evening Son returns from his travels after over a month in the USA. He left LAX while we were asleep, has a change at Frankfurt this afternoon and we (might be just me) will head for Heathrow to collect him :)

Just had the worst news about my next door neighbour. She's unlikely to come out of hospital. Her daughter contacted me this morning to ask if she wanted them to resuscitate her if things go critical again. :( :( :( :(

She really seemed to give up after her husband passed away earlier this year. It is so sad :(

Yes, he was smuggled back from Spain.
But he's not very active. He doesn't do much of the digging, climbing, aggressive behaviour and escaping that other Russian's do.:(
But he's very photogenic, always keeps still for the camera, unlike Tidgy, though he only has one pose. :)

Good afternoon, Linda. :)
I wish you well with the SatNav, though i think it would drive me crazy.
And as I always do the opposite to what i'm told, it would be a disaster.:rolleyes:
Hoooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure your son will have loadsa great stories to tell. What a terrific experience.:D

I wrote that wrong :(

It should say the doctors spoke to my neighbour's daughter about whether or not to attempt resuscitation.

The daughter contacted me this morning to tell me.

Oh, dear. :(
It seems to be so often the case that when one of a couple passes, the other seems to lose the will to continue.
Wishing her all the best.
