This is the former German football keeper Oliver Kahn.
Gillian knows all about him and is a big fan of him.

Hi Sabine,
Ah yes - I remember now - don't think I've ever seen a picture of him before.
I wouldn't know any of the UK football players either.
Hi Lyn, I don`t know any football player either but Oliver Kahn was very special. I think you will know what I mean when you look at these pics: He was very grumpy and angry .....
Part 4 - Trek to Hancock’s Resolution
Once we arrived at the sandy shoreline we exited our boats and pulled them up to ensure no rogue waves took them out to the Chesapeake Bay.
We then pulled out our trusty land map, oriented ourselves, and meandered down some very dense, partly overgrown woodland trails that were soggy wet from our recent heavy rains. After walking past tons of native Paw Paw trees, White Oak and many Sassafras trees and brambles, we found the gated (but not fenced in) entrance to the old estate.
We walked around the old wooden gate and entered the historic grounds that included a large field of lavendar, the main house, an old well, ancient cemetary complete with grave stones, and the vegetable garden (fig trees, tobacco, cabbage, carrots, beats, hops, native corn, peas and beans and plenty of mixed annuals). There was a nice patch of large cactus with a ton of fresh growth and had just recently bloomed. I was tempted to grab a few pads for Sully.
And the full view of the old estate house.
After a nice stretch of the legs and our mini walking tour about the grounds we traced our path back to water’s edge.
Stay tuned for the short, but final chapter.

I'm good thanks - still waiting for the police to call in.So far so good. I don`t want to complain.
And you ?
They are a bit busy with the fires around here though which obviously takes priority.
I think they will love a piece of gras / lawn.Okay I seem to have caught up now. Top of the Mornin te ya.
It has started off with some rain, but although it is still overcast, it is not currently raining right now. I hope it does, as we need it still.
Sooooooo glad it is Friday.

Last night I decided to cut up some lawn and put it into the torts enclosure. As the small bark that I had put in when I did their substrate change was very messy and kept on making their water bowls very dirty. The little tubs they had to sleep in, they also kept on moving around and or knocking them over, So I put new tubs in on their sides and put the grass around them and over the tubs. It has consequently created little hills and a slope in their enclosure. But I want to see if they enjoy it more and am of the opinion that it will help with their exercise. Get them to strengthen their leg muscles a little bit. If they don't like it very much, then next weekend I will take it out. So we will see. Hopefully my babies will enjoy thier little world just a little bit more. We will see.
That is me for now, and only have another 7 hours to fill before I can go home. Hope you all have a fantastic Friday. Until later or the next 5 minutes, depends on which one comes first.
Certainly looks it!Hi Lyn, I don`t know any football player either but Oliver Kahn was very special. I think you will know what I mean when you look at these pics: He was very grumpy and angry .....
All he needs is to tear his clothes and turn green and he could be the Incredible Hulk.
What a unique looking house.Part 4 - Trek to Hancock’s Resolution

I am gladly looking forward to the final chapter.

She loves him, even when he is grumpy...

It looks like a cosy place to live.
I think the police don`t like to be involved in quarrels with neighbors but in your case they must ! Your neighbors are gone a step to far !

Yes they must. I am fed up of neighbours thinking they can do what they want.
They have no respect for me or my property and need to know I won't put up with it anymore.
I am not a confrontational person and hate bad feeling but they constantly overstep the mark.
I wish they would move - but it's unlikely.
It’s now part of the US National Register of Historic places. No one lives there, but it is open to the public on Sundays for a few hours to go back in time.

Not only the hottest day in England. In Germany too. We have 39 C in the sun. Torts have to stay indoors in their "cool" 28 C enclosure. I have fear they could overheat !
Can`t remember a summer like this in my whole life.
I really don`t have a guess. Would you tell us your age ?
