COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good afternoon/evening all.
We've had some rain today but not a lot, and no thunder/lightning - yet!

I learnt something new about dandelions tonight on 'Springwatch'...........
did you know that when rain is due they close their flowers to protect the pollen?
I didn't but I will keep an eye on them now to help forecast the weather!!
Isn't nature amazing!?

Wow. That is very interesting. One of the ones that I transplanted has one flower and I noticed it was closed. And what do you know....it is raining today. Good tip Lyn. I will be keeping an eye out as well. Did you have your appointment today or is that tomorrow?

The forum sure is having alot of drama lately. Poor mods are even on the hit list just for doing what they are supposed to do.

I've seen them closed but didn't know it was because of rain.
The appointment with the vet is tomorrow, I'm not expecting her to do anything other than to discuss how he's been and a MRI or CT scan. The appointment for that won't be until next week but I will ask her about a testosterone level test. He has been lively and moved around sniffing a lot, so I think he may looking for a female - poor thing he's not going to find one - only me and I don't think I'm his type!
He's eaten more today, but again mostly hand fed and that can't continue indefinitely (although it will until he is better).

Oh dear I haven't ventured out of the CDR yet.
It amazes me how many new members there are who don't want to listen to advice and will argue the toss with people who have kept tortoises for many years. Only a fool ignores the voices of experience !

What do you mean you are not his type? You are smart. Funny, you take care of him and spoonfeed him (most men's dream) ...oh well silly tort doesn't know how good he has it. He certainly won't get such good treatment from his other girlfriend. Good luck for tomorrow then and hopefully you can get a scan appointment sooner rather than later after tomorrow.

I just saw that. And poor Yvonne certainly does not need that right now.

Yay, cookies!!!

My thought as well.
