Good morning to the early birds and those that should be in bed but aren't.

It is fascinating watching film crews at work!

Happy Eid to those who celebrate from me too :)

I am annoyed too, but not entirely surprised. He once told me he was cross with John for just disappearing "I thought he was my friend"... and yet he does the same to us at regular intervals. There is no point wasting energy being annoyed with him. If he doesn't want to be here then that's his choice. We are more than capable of organising the Christmas Cards and TORTOISE without him if necessary; it needs to be drawn by the end of September; I'd suggest we warn him first though! Jacques might have to do the draw in place of Tidgy :D

None of us is perfect and Adam has his own imperfections and demons too. The manner in which he walked out was at best bizarre, but we can't see what is going on in his head; I'm not sure he can either.

Actually, ELSA has already volunteered to help with the drawings for TORTOISE! [emoji2]
Since Jacques lives in our house and Elsa mostly lives outside, Jacques tends to get more attention. [emoji853]

I’m glad Elsa wants to get involved, so unless someone else’s tort is really eager to do it, I would like to offer Elsa’s assistance! [emoji2][emoji173]️

Perfect! She is a former calendar girl and would be wholly appropriate :D

School shooting?
NOT HARDLY!
This morning, a John Deere recreational vehicle came in. Water pump locked up and hole in the radiator. Obviously driven for an extended period while overheating.
The operator said that he thinks someone shot a hole in the grille.

Further inspection shows red paint.
I know that he knows what he crashed into.
It was when the steam and horrible noise happened.....
I'm not going to miss some of this.

Good morning Lena, glad you enjoyed your night out.
Did Adam say why he felt he doesn't belong here anymore?
I'm just baffled by it
I was one of the last to speak to him before he went and I've re - read my last few posts to him but I don't think there was anything in them that could have upset him.
Maybe he'll be back once he's cooled off.

I can understand you well Lena. Somehow I missed what has upsetted Adam so much that he left us. I only know it was about John. I`ve tried to reread the posts but I cannot find them. Can you explain me what has happened ? Maybe by pm ?

Adam didn’t mention anything, and I’m not going to ask. I have my theories but they’re just that and I’ll keep them to myself. I just had to tell my friends how upsetting and annoying this was. Because if I didn’t share, it would keep running through my mind. I’m cool now. [emoji173]️
Will be catching up on the rest of the posts tomorrow.

Hi. Oh how cute Murphy is! God bless.

What is wrong with your dad? if I may ask. Hope it's nothing serious.

Lol that's something[emoji16] It makes use turtle/tortoise keeps look alot special if you know what I mean[emoji6]
Oh yes I do know what you mean.

When I take Oli out for a "walk" you should see the way people crowd around us, particularly children. Here in the Middle East VERY FEW are those who have pets.This is mainly due to the fact that buying a pet and keeping it costs a real lot. This, only the filthy rich can afford, here. Moreover they buy dogs only so as to guard their villas luxurious cars and property. In this case the dog is not a pet any more.

Erk! That doesn't sound good!



I've written the repair order as OPERATOR NEGLECT and VANDALISM.
Yes. In caps.

Ah... Explanation supplied [emoji849]

He suffered a serious of small strokes and now he's having a hard time getting up,walking, etc by himself. He's made a little progress so far though.
