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 .....

I'm glad you said that. We English get accused of grudges against German footballers because they keep beating us [emoji23]

If it is an outside area and has plants in it weather in the ground or in pots we refer to it as a garden. But gardens with only pots and paving can also be referred to as a paved garden. Garden is the general term we use. Which can then be divided into different categories e.g. Vegetable garden. Paved garden. Rose garden. Etc. Etc.
Here in the U.S. a garden is a patch of land that is planted in either flowers or vegetables. The land around our house is referred to as the yard - either front or back. Usually the yard is planted in grass.

Thank you Yvonne. Our garden is your yard :)

In my current home, the front garden is tiny and has gravel with plants set into it because grass won’t grow. My neighbours have lawns and flower/shrub borders.

We have a corner plot - the side garden is paved due to similar problems with grass... and it’s where I have my washing line. The back garden is a lawn surrounded by borders of plants, trees and shrubs; this was Joe’s domain.

Here in the U.S., if we don't have an electric or gas type clothes drier, we hang our laundry on the clothes line.

I'll add my picture to the mix:

I sent away for a peel off facial mask. Pretty scary, huh?

Here's what I look like normally:

I’m such a visual person!
Could everyone post a pic of themselves? I hate trying to imagine what you look like. I thought it would be fun!!
Here’s me.

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.;)

Pictures of the enclosure please!
