COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Whahaha. So it's your fault.

I’m sorry [emoji52] On the plus side, it only takes a good night’s sleep to recover.

 

[CarolM]

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.

Hi Lena and good afternoon. Saw you lurking.

I’ve been trying to follow the forum throughout the day but with little success so far. Hope you enjoy your time off-duty.

Very true. Very true. At least I know at bedtime I will be out like a light.

Hey everyone. Woke up sick this morning, don't know if it is the flu yet. Fever, soar throat- I can hardly talk.
Gonna probably sleep most of the day and won't be lurking around much.
Talk tomorrow or later today if I feel better!

Oh, golly!
Hope it' only a passing bug and not the flu!
Get well soon, Bambam.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Always yes please. Sorry only answering now. Had to do the school run.

That's okay!
Milk?

 

[CarolM]

That's okay!
Milk?

Yes please and sugar for energy.

We've been having real warm weather. Normally our frosty nights don't go away until after February, but we're already averaging 45F degree nights. I hope that doesn't mean our summer is going to be extra hot this year. Some of the box turtles have come out of their hibernation leaf pile. And while I was working on the pond fence I noticed a few of the water turtles are awake.

Today I'm going to finish cleaning up after my fence project, then maybe I'll tackle a few leaves. LEAVES!!! the bane of my existence! Oh well. . . it's going to be another beautiful day, with shirt sleeve weather, so at least we've got that going for us.

Shame there isn't a type of tortoise that eats only tons of dead old leaves.
Good morning, Yvonne, you seem particularly energetic these days.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Whahaha. So it's your fault.

If in doubt, blame Lena.

Almost had a disaster earlier. I had just put Little Rue back into her enclosure after her soak. I went to the kitchen and then passed by her enclosure and glanced in. Rue was on her back. Long enough to poop again. Because I am still tired I couldn't say for sure how long but I don't think too long. So I gently turned her back over and then had to clean the poop off her. And in the enclosure Where I turned her over. I couldn't see what had made her turn over other than her cuttlebone and a slight dip by her food slab. So I put more bark around the slab and moved the cuttlebone a little out. But she did not eat her food which this evening was hibiscus flower. Which she normally always eats. She went straight to one of the spots she likes to sleep. I will watch her a little closer but I think she should be fine and just needs to get over her shock.

 

[CarolM]

There you go.
That's R50 please.

Totally worth it.

Yeah, i'm sure it's just shock.
She should sleep it off and be fine in the morning.
Silly tort.

What a wonderful idea. Maybe we can train them to think old leaves are good for them.[emoji6]

Blimey!
Thanks!
Normally the Roomies get furious at my coffee prices.
wifey sometimes refuses to pay.

I was going to say maybe she is also sleep deprived but thinking about it she gets wayyyyy more sleep than I do.

I'm sleep deprived soooooo I don't care. Coffee is to me what whiskey is to an alcoholic.

Ah!
