Hi, Roomies. Jacques has stopped eating and only wants to bask under her heat lamp. I’m very worried about her. There’s at least a possibility that I have caused her to have a Vitamin B deficiency (which makes them lose their appetite among other things) because the catfish that I gave her as the primary staple in her diet, contains an enzyme that destroys vitamin B. The other possibility, of course, is that she slowly developed an aspiration pneumonia after her near drowning in December.
I know we all make mistakes, but I just feel so bad. [emoji20] If I lose her, I WILL get another turtle, but I SO don’t want to lose my silly little diva. [emoji22]
I KNOW that you are doing everything in your power to get her healthy again. And I say it is going to come right.[emoji120] [emoji120] [emoji120] [emoji120]

Ok. I cannot get a screen pic but the CDR currently has Sabines toilet pic and I am commenting O-Oooooo. It is completely out of contexts and so hilarious. [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] I wish I knew how to take a screen pic so you can see.

Good morning all. Another early start for the last day of the trade show. I have talked to hundreds, if not thousands, of people from all over the world.

Great fun, but we have a stack of throat lozenges on the stand now! :D

I photographed the Monument yesterday! Where the great fire of London started in 1666

And last night we went to dinner at a restaurant in the O2... the Millennium Dome built for an exhibition in 2000, now a big events space with a cinema, bowling, night club and restaurants. We only ate...no energy for anything else.

You cross the docks and the river Thames on the cable car

You get a good view of the white O2 dome with Canary Wharf business district behind and to the right

And a view the other way.

Yay! The promised monument! :)
Thank you for the postcards. Husband is going to London tomorrow. I doubt he’ll be sharing any postcards from the archive where he’ll be doing some work.

I’m terrible with plant names, even in my native Russian. The red things fell off a nearby tree — if that’s an explanation worth the name. :D [emoji85]
Lol. You sound as bad as me. Why do you think I said red things? I didn't know if they are fruit or berries or what you are supposed to call them.

Yes indeed. When you cut the garlic and and the onoin in pieces and put them to the honey you get a wonderful anti - cough medicine after a few hours. Drinking lemon with hot water is good too.

Mix in half a liter of whiskey, and all your troubles are gone.... until the hangover next day. ;)

Oh Bea. :( I have no idea about turtles, and just hope she’s back to her silly, gluttonous self soon.
I notice that you keep blaming yourself — “I have caused” etc. But there’s no one who does everything right, and we all know you try your best to keep her happy and healthy. Please don’t feel bad. :<3:
