We went to the zoo today. There’s a new polar bear in quarantine, waiting to join these two:

The zoo also has a new male tiger, but he killed a female two days ago, in front of the visitors. :( The zoo doesn’t seem to know what provoked his aggression.

Very cool.

I love that bookshelf!
I know. It's awesome. I saved these pictures from the internet years ago. One day if I can I want to try one or two of these. I have done the place mats already. I bought them cut like that and then sanded them and varnished them. They didn't come out too badly.

Oh no! I hope it’s not your turn. :( Man-flu is common in the CDR, but I hope you just need a good night’s rest.
Thanks Lena. I don't think it is man flu. Well I hope it isn't. Unfortunately it is man-flu for hubby. He is not happy at all. [emoji22] [emoji22]

That is just the absolute prettiest building ever. I just LOVE this building. Every time I see its picture I try to imagine the workers building it. I have a terrible time with straight boards, and just look at all the curves and spires on that building!

I just looked it up on Wikipedia - it was built from 1555 to 1561. Man o man! over 500 years of age. Can you imagine? I'm surprised the officials of Russian kept it in such good shape as they were so opposed to religion of any sort and it was built as a cathedral. Such a beautiful building.

I guess they didn’t always keep it in a good shape, but amazingly it survived. It is very pretty.

So you have started! Helpfully Mark can send you a log. An idea for the next TORTOISE? ;)

I think that would end up being an expensive log. Maybe Mark should get them cut up into planks and use them for another tortoise heated house or indoor enclosure
