COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good mornooning, roommates!!! Missed you all.
This was a long weekend for us because of the Pentecost or something. Daughter’s singing went really well, and we ended up seeing a bit of Malmö before the concert.
The concert took place in the old Rådhus - municipal building on the Grand Square:

Daughter was a sweet white bunny:

Then, on Sunday, we went to the Copenhagen Medieval Fair with knight tournaments, viking shows, and craft stalls.

On Monday was a school event at a large park near a castle. The nature parks association had a deer skinned next to a playground and we got to cook the meat.

We also bought some sausages and — @Tidgy’s Dad — CHEESE! *wink wink*

And today I have piles of housework waiting

What a lovely weekend - your daughter and her friends all look like little stars.

Good afternoon Carol hope you are having a good day
Yes it was a deliberate mistake - I squashed physio and osteopath together!
It seems that my garden ornament is female.
It didn't send Lola straight to his food but he became very excited indeed!!!!
He didn't actually attempt to mount it but he certainly went through the motions.
Lola will not stay out in the sun - even with his 'girlfriend'.
If I block his way he just keeps trying to barge his way in.
He has had half an hour and nibbled some dandies in his grass and eaten a plate of food, but he will not relax even though it is not a huge open space and he has plenty of cover for security. What a woose!

 

[Lyn W]

That looks like an excellent weekend Lena

I’m ignoring your housework

I'm ignoring everyone's housework including my own
Hope your appointment was OK today, Linda.

 

[Lyn W]

Thanks everyone. I made it down here safe and sound everything's good.
It has been raining and come one pretty heavy downpour but it didn't last long. So hopefully it won't be too bad.

I did make it down to the beach and I was alone LOL.View attachment 239409View attachment 239410View attachment 239411

My idea of heaven is having a beach to myself - make the most of it Dan!

 

[Kristoff]

I remember that age.

Thank you, Kathy!

My husband is one of those people that CAN'T sit still. He has to have something to do... It's exhausting just watching! I say watching because he is also the kind that MUST do everything himself so that he knows it's done properly[emoji57]
I think shoving cottonwool up my nose would be counter productive to keeping fluffy stuff out..[emoji28]

When he's finished with all your projects please could I borrow him?
I have a few little projects that will keep him busy - what's he like with fencing?
(the garden boundary type not the one that involves swords )

Mine too. We shouldn’t go to the same place after we die

I love my ion battery operated weed trimmer. The juice in the battery runs out at or near the same time as my juice!

Lol. Oh that is funny. Can it be possible that his hormones could be causing the problem? Maybe he is becoming a teenager and he does not know how to handle it?

I'm worried about a little UK tort in the Russian threads (Inactive tortoise)
The OP has been to the vet and has to give antibiotic injections for 2 weeks.
I know each dose may be very low but sounds an awful lot for a 6cm tort to go through.

He usually displays his wares in the spring.
Maybe he is just realising that something's missing and that he needs a mate.
No real change appetite wise - mainly eaten from hand fed but also feeding himself some - about the same amount.
He took his meds with the help of some sliced strawberry and slivers of cucumber like a good boy. Only one more dose to go on Thurs.

That is what I was thinking. But I don't know enough about torts. Thought I would ask though. Can tortoises become depressed?

I read that thread. Wish I could help and give advise. But I don't want know enough to give any help there.

 

[CarolM]

Well thats me for the night. Good night, sleep tight and sweet dreams everyone.

He's pretty good with fencing (not so sure about the sword type)
You might have to wait a while for your turn, we have got quite a list going! Lol

Hope the vet knew what they were doing :/
