Hi Gillian!

Good evening Linda. Hope you are fine.

Doing well thank you. Love to Oli x

Thanks a lot, Linda. Though Oli (and me) get into very bad moods in Winter.....brrrrrrrr. Someone once told me: "I've a feeling that not only your tort is cold-blooded........ even you are."

I saw something funny on a video once. Forgot the name of the video. So the video had two tortoises getting fed at the zoo. The second one was more into looking and sniffing at the other ones tail then eating. They might be intelligent but very silly.

Probably looked like a nice, juicy worm! What species were they, do you know?

Hi @Gillian M : Have you given any thought to writing a paragraph for our CDR Christmas story? I think it's about ready to end.

Hi Yvonne. I'm afraid I have not, to be frank to you.

Strp one, select a few fresh good tasting apples...

That would be great if you would!! The more who contribute the more fun the story will be!!

Yeah, ok. . . 12 minutes have gone by. What's strp 2? (or does 2 not follow 1 when strping instead of stepping?)

 

[Maro2Bear]

Step two..

Slice up the apples, place on rack sprinkle slightly with sea salt, cinnamon and a wee pinch of cardamom (since we just ground some fresh).

Took awhile since I sliced up some cactus for Sully as well.








Step 3 - patience.

Beautiful again!! Have I told you yet that I ADORE that tortoise pendent you’re wearing? I do!!!

I have 4 of them: one in red, one in blue, one in silver and one in green.....
Which would be your most favorite color ?

By the way... I wanted to mention a couple things about the contents of the package I sent Sabine.

First, the green patterned insulated bag is from Publix (under their own brand). Publix is a grocery store chain that started out in Florida and continues to grow with their headquarters in Central Florida. I don't know if you remember me talking about Publix before, but it certainly makes the top ten list of what Florida residents associate with Florida (and one of the things they miss most when they move away from Florida).

Second is the blue and white plastic gadget. It isn't exactly intuitive as to what it is, and I needed instruction myself to realize what it was. Sabine, if you will flip it over to the back, you will see an open circle. Pull that circle down, and it turns into stand for your mobile phone (or possibly even a small tablet). The textured blue surface keeps it from sliding.

Okay. Thank you for the instructions.

Both beautiful songs Bee, glad you are in fine voice to sing for us for Xmas.

Thank you Lyn. It pleases me to sing for all my roomies.

Good evenooning all. We just watched Luton win 2-0. A special match today because we booked a box for 10 so got lunch at the stadium and a tour of the dressing room and onto the pitch. It’s one of the oldest clubs in the country, founded in 1885.

I love this! It’s so joyful.

I have never heard it or “Freue dich Christkind kommt bald” before. Some new things for me to enjoy

I had to Google Translate “Rejoice Christkind is coming soon” as my poor schoolgirl German was telling me something along the lines of Baby Jesus getting his head shaved

It would be really hard for me to pick! I can’t imagine one looking better than another I bet you match the color to your outfit I would!
