COLD DARK ROOM

COOL!

i agree with JoesMum: I'd cruise all over the Hingeback and Pancake sections, even going back through posts from years ago. That way you get a good idea of the issues people have had to deal with. That can help A LOT.
I think they're both really cool species.
Good luck deciding!!!

Ok Great [emoji119]

 

[CarolM]

That will be exhausting ????

Whahaha

 

[CarolM]

It was..... Sorry, I was late or I am late. It was a busy day.

Hmm. My day was busy today as well.

 

[CarolM]

You are simply the best, Carol ! Thank you.

[CarolM]

No, they are too shy for listening to me. When I sing they think I am the singing tortoise predator.

Oh no. Surely not.

 

[CarolM]

Yeeeep and my day was very interesting [emoji43]View attachment 250766View attachment 250767

Oh dear.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you!! I’m very excited..

So have you got your new tort? How did it go?

 

[Bee62]

Both...

A VERY GOOD ANSWER ! I would get both too.

Good morning (just) all

I have been out tidying the garden this morning. The lawn is slowly recovering from the hot, dry summer but still looks pretty awful

There’s a nest box in the yew in the back corner which I cleaned out today. As we suspected, there’s an old nest in it. We were fairly certain that Great T!ts nested in there this summer.

Great T!ts look like this (Googled photo)

They’re slightly bigger than the Bluet!ts that nested in our camera box.

The corner that I planted this spring with plants for pollinators has gone berserk since the rain, with the buddleja and the lavender flowering a second time, and will need a trim once flowering is over

And a toad has moved into the toad house in this corner

Good evening, or should I say good morning, Carol.

Good Morning Bee.

Massive thunder and lightning storm just rumbled through here. Filled my empty 55 gallon rain barrel in about 5 minutes. Also got a new connector pipe so I can add another barrel. Yeah.

Storm passing by now....Sully had to get out of his house and wade about in a few inches of nice muddy water.

 

[Bee62]

Good Morning Bee.

Hi Carol. I am fine and my torts seem to settle in easily. They eat like little piglets. The only thing they must learn is that I don`t want to eat them !
Do you have special plans for the weekend ?

Luckily Sully is to heavy to be blown away from the storm ! Stay safe, no kayaking on stormy days please.
