What a lovely sight - hope they all made it to the sea safely.

Annndd it is done!!!! I have caught up to myself.
Glad to see some new faces visiting us. Hopefully you stay for a while. That is if we don't scare you away with our crazy talk and whatnot. Saturday has finally arrived. Thank goodness. As I need the break.
I don't plan to do anything today other than relax and read a nice book. Tomorrow is laundry day again and it is my turn. But at least today is mine. I'll leave you with a chuckle and not see you later View attachment 249371

Love that and so true!!

Son is (hopefully) full grown now. But you are right about the hollow legs and he is 6'6"!

He is currently having a snooze as he had to get up at 3.30am to get to the airport. Nimes airport is tiny and there are only two flights due in today so his passage through was very quick!

Cool to be part of such a moment !

Good morning/afternoon.
Hope you are all having a good Saturday so far.
It's been very quiet here but I'm taking my niece out to buy her some earrings in a while, as she had her ears pierced for her birthday.
She will be off to Uni soon so want her to chose some to take with her.
Will pop back in later.

I've seen reports of some species of turtles getting lost and heading the opposite direction to the sea at night because they have been confused by the lights of tourist bars etc along the beaches. So good to know that there is help at hand in some places.

Hello Lyn. I wish you a good Saturday too. Not to see you later.

Hello Lyn. I wish you a good Saturday too. Not to see you later.

Hi and Bye Sabine!
Not see you later.

 

[Bee62]

Hello rommies. A wonderful Saturday from me too.
It seems to me that summer is suddenly over in Germany. Maybe autumn is now near. Like summer is cutted with a knife.....
We have a deep drop in temps to 17 C ( 62,6 F ). It is cold !
A little bit rain and a little bit sunshine are changing every half an hour today. Crazy weather !
No longer tort weather outside. I hope the summer is not suddenly over but in Germany it is possible.

I’m saving this!

I was the same - we moved three times before I was 11 then my mother dug her heels in and we stayed put while I was at grammar school.

Just to add to the confusion, the school system was changed in one area while we were there meaning that I managed to attend 5 different primary schools: All-through Primary at one location; Infant, Junior then Middle at second, Junior for just two out of three terms at third.

I changed 5 schools in the first 6 years of my schooling. It wasn’t terrible but I often wished I’d have the same classmates throughout!

I changed 5 schools in the first 6 years of my schooling. It wasn’t terrible but I often wished I’d have the same classmates throughout!

I know that feeling. It has affected me long term.

When JoesDad and I moved from our last home after 8 years in the same place I felt truly awful and panicky. I really couldn't understand why as we were moving less than 5 miles.

And then I worked it out... 8 years was the longest I had ever lived anywhere in my whole life. In 28 years I had had 12 homes... and I hadn't realised the impact surrounding the instability of a house move on me.

We have lived in our current home for nearly 19 years! I can't quite believe it. The prospect of another house move no longer terrifies me. JoesDad had an interview for a job about 100 miles away and I actually felt quite excited about the prospect. He didn't get that job, so we are still in Kent.

Was your friend doing some scuba diving there?

 

[Kristoff]

Chores can be fun...like planting seeds for your mr torty Last Tuesday, i planted some Tortoise Supply seeds right before our rains. Sprinkled them daily since then and today I see lots of new lil plants popping up all over. Yeah. Supposed to get back up into low 90s later this week. As long as they don’t dry out, I’m hoping the push up a lot of new growth.

Have fun.

Just don’t let Sully anywhere near those sprouts for a while.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

You are not boring. By the way ....any new babies pop up lately?

No
Thankfully
