Our TV is not connected so I’m very much out of the loop. :( I used to follow the World Cup pretty closely as a teenager. Then life happened. :)

Nicely said Linda. I wonder where Sabine has dissapeared to now? I am so intrigued by your nesting box and love the fact that you have a camera in it. I watched I think it was Criminal Minds program where the neighbour was an avid bird watcher. Anyway it turned out that she killed her neighbour because he would not listen about his loud radio disturbing a rare bird which visited her garden. My point is though ...... you are not like that are you? [emoji6] [emoji6]

:eek: Linda is the gentlest person. Right?? :eek:
I’ll be very quiet from now on...

Um, I’m not sure about hyphenating “no one” but I agree with the rest :p
I find that I have actually forgotten how to spell most of the time. Just shows you how reliant I have become on spell check. Which the TFO does not have. LOL. Sometimes I change my wording just because I cannot remember how to spell a particular word.:oops:

Our meet and greet went well this morning. The Miley twin did not take to cats well so she was taken off the list. So that left two. Snoopy was very chilled and relaxed but was not originally our first choice. The second one "nameless" for now interacted with Miley a little more. He is the one we are thinking of taking. He is going to be sterilised tomorrow as he was a stray they found. And I am going to arrange with them that we will collect him on saturday morning early. So we will have the weekend to get him used to our house etc. Looking forward to our new member joining the family.

Yay for “Nameless”! Another important question: did the cats like him? :D

Hello roommates.:)
I wish you all a beautiful and peaceful Sunday. :<3:
I am working, so I cannot post much, but I will catch up, I promise.
See you all in the evening I hope.:)

Yay! Happy to hear from you, Bee! I’ll try to be about in the evenings more, when you’re here.

I know. She is a very gentle person. But they do say, let sleeping tigers sleep...or something to that effect. Only kidding. Besides, I know she is in the UK and I am in the SA, so I should be safe.;)

Laundry day here too. And I have ironed as well! (Polishes halo - but in truth there wasn’t much for a change)

I have been out for a walk as well. Typically, the sun has finally emerged now I’m home.

We’re just starting to see the first green leaves on the trees here. I noticed Hawthorn, always early into leaf, while I was out.

And our garden daffodils are finally in flower. Spring is definitely starting here :)

Et tu, Brutus? :eek:
Just kidding. We’re getting there. Slow and steady. :D

Yes, he got on well with cats, but we will still be careful when we introduce him to the cat and will be there when they are together. It will be a slow process, however when we are not home, the dogs go outside (they each have their own kennel and blankets etc to keep them warm and or cool) until we get home. And the cat stays inside.

Well, my husband finally got a chance to look over my plans for Clunker's new enclosure.. and he turned it down. The reason, we could make it better! My Tortoise is going to be living in an armored tank if he gets his way..

A little overzealous I guess, but it’s great he’s so involved! :)

Are these yours? I thought you had only Rue?
Rue is the baby which came from Blue and "Yellow" , I recently relocated Yellow to my brothers farm in Atlantis - lots of weeds and water where they stay, as in spring Blue was giving her an extremely hard time and turning her over all the time. I wanted to keep Blue so relocated Yellow out of his way. Whity and Blue stay outside, they are from the wild. We interact with them and they, have gotten used to us, I give them extra food etc, but they pretty much look after themsleves, foraging in the garden. I see that Blue is dissapearing more often, so must be burrowing somewhere, and Whity dissapears every now and then too. I can look everywhere in the garden for them and won't find them. And then two hours later see them out again. They absolutely hate being soaked - Whity squeeks alot when I have tried to soak her, so on Sunday I decided to try putting some coconut oil (the one with the neutral smell) on their shells which they didn't mind as much as when I tried soaking them in water. Also the fact that they are adults, they don't need the soaking as much as Rue does. I have seen Blue once or twice though sitting in the water I put out for them.
