COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I have always been a lite sleeper. But nothing like this other than an incident a couple of years ago that was brought on by stress and depression.
I plan on making an appointment Monday to see a doctor about it.

That is a good idea. I hope they are able to help you. There is a app called calm which plays all sorts of calming music. Maybe try it and see if it helps. But still see the doc.

A word of caution on that. Tortoises are not particularly clever.

Those that are hand fed too often can come to see the human as the food and start refusing to eat food fed off the ground in the normal way. @Gillian Moore had this problem with her Greek, Oli.

The best is to remember to handle your tort gently. No sudden movements ever. And your tort should gradually become accustomed to you. Nothing happens quickly with tortoises. Be patient and understand it might take many months for trust to develop.

I agree totally. I was just saying in my other thread that Rue after a year is only getting comfortable with me now to give her head a scratch.

I washed two of my couch cushions as they smelled of pee (Scooby-doo !!) And they are not completely dry yet. So I wanted to leave them outside to carry on drying tomorrow but the weather report says tomorrow is going to rain. I am happy it is going to rain but not so happy about the cushions. They are going to have to dry inside. Hopefully they do dry.

Oh dear. Hope that doesn’t dampen your love for Scooby-doo!

In Welsh Y is a vowel pronounced Uh as in sun... unless it’s pronounced i as in sit.

F, as in German, is a V sound. Ff gives you the soft F as in fish.

A single D is a hard D. Dd is pronounced th.

W is another vowel and pronounced oo as in spoon.

And ch and LL require training if you’re not to choke or spit on someone. JoesDad makes a right mess of the place names Machynlleth and Llanelli. [emoji23]

Mum is Welsh with family in the Llanelli area, so my sister and I were trained from birth!

I assumed you had to be born with this to be able to pronounce that!

Hi roommates!
Facebook said it's Earth Day. We were hiking in our neck of the woods... In our woods. It's fully spring and I have some postcards! I even took a photo of a bird there, thinking of Linda and Mark and any other bird enthusiasts we might have here.

White flower = wood anemone (there were lots in Wales)
Yellow flower = Lesser Celandine (they’re everywhere!)
Bird = European Robin

We are safely home, unpacked and the washing machine is on already!

After 6 weeks Mrs Bluet-it still isn’t satisfied with her nest and is still bringing in fluff and shaping the nest cup. Surely she has to be satisfied soon!
