COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

Good news! ! !
Tidgy was a fighter,too, I didn't think she'd make it at the beginning.

I bet Oli will be glad to hear that, Adam.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I bet Oli will be glad to hear that, Adam.

Hope so.
She's one tough little character.

I know, and I SHOULD know. After all she's my beloved......daughter-in-law - hmmmmmmmmmm.

The floor was swarming with tortoises of different sizes (and species!), some walking slowly about and exploring, some munching lettuce leaves, others drinking water from a big shallow dish.(which should be big enough for them to soak in, but I guess there're far too many for that. And they shouldn't all be together in this small space of course, groups can work, unlike pairs, but this size group is quite insane! AND they should all be quarantined for months and months before being put together. Mr Adam knew all this. But he didn't care. )
The tortoises made just the faintest rustling sound as they moved over the canvas sheet, but that was all. Mr Adam had to pick his way carefully on his tiptoes between this moving sea of browns and yellows whenever he walked across the room. But enough of that. He must get on with the job.

I'm sorry she has to go through this. Best wishes for her speedy recovery. It's good you are there with her.

Earlier this morning she just slept.
I went back two hours later and she was awake and we spoke for about 10 minutes before she nodded off again.
She didn't seem to know what had happened so I filled her in on everything.
They're releasing her back to her nursing home in another day or two.

Well that's good news that your mum was awake, even for 10 minutes. Let's hope for the best and.....

to your mum​

 

[ZEROPILOT]

She's pretty tough.
I'm sure she'll beat it.

That's the least I can do, I'm afraid.

Positive news.
Hopefully, she'll remember more when she's back in her familiar surroundings.
Wishing her all the best.

Definitely positive news. Give her gentle CDR hugs. We are all rooting for her... and you and your wife.

Goodness, we go through life's dramas in this small(ish), dark electronic space with a yet-to-be-defined number of corners, but the support it offers is AMAZING.

Nice bunch of caring people in here.
And me, of course.

Need a day off work?
Convince your boss you have a cold over the phone by slipping your tongue into a boiling hot Pop Tart before you call.

Good morning all...

Further Moth explanations - the Hummingbird Hawk Moth behaves like a Hummingbird. It darts from flower to flower, never landing, extending its long proboscis to feed on nectar. It's body is about an inch (2.5cm long) We see them in our garden in Kent very occasionally, but here they're "common as muck" (ie everywhere). You can't miss them! There are no Hummingbirds in Europe.

There's also a Bee Hawk Moth - black and yellow with see-through wings - that behaves like a bee and does land. We saw those too, but not so many. These also occur in the UK. Son is asleep so I'll steal a picture of one from the internet

wow, these are amazing! When I see creatures like these, and tortoises for that matter, I think there are so many interesting looking animals in the world; much more interesting than the aliens they come up with in sci fi movies.

Very true.
I'd much rather have a tortoise than a Klingon.

I prefer a tortoise too
