Good mornooning all. Today is the big return to work for many. Most schools return next Monday so not everyone is back yet.

Today I have cleaning and tidying to do. The decorations will be removed gradually over the next few days.
My Christmas corner and cards will come down on Sunday which I believe is after 12th night on the 5th - but I'm never quite sure when 12th night actually is.
I may be in Southsea on Saturday for a cousins 70th birthday, so they'll have to wait until Sunday,
I may not go as I have to persuade myself that Lola will be OK on his own here overnight.
He should be, as he tends to stay tucked up in his hide at the moment, but I've never left him alone for 24 hours before.

Good morning/afternoon.
Hope everyone is having a good day so far.
I feel really tired today so think I'll just curl up at home with a good book and snooze when I feel like it.
Some years we go back to school a couple of days after New Year and that's hard going but thankfully I have a few more days holiday left this year...wonderful!

Lola will be just fine for 24 hours. Go and enjoy yourself :)

I am pretty tired too. I have cleaned and am now watching Jane Eyre on BBC1. The plot is like a soap opera but predates soaps by a century

So I've spent weeks trying to figure out a good gift for the wife. I finally decided on a new kitchen sink. The one we have is one of those cheap contractor grade sinks they put into new houses and is only 6" deep. The one I bought is 9" deep and would be much more efficient.

She's not into jewelry, and frilly little gifts like that. She enjoys practical gifts. I asked a bunch of females I know including the neighbors wife what they thought of the idea. Opinions seemed pretty positive, so I went for it. What do y'all think?

I have a sinking feeling about it... [emoji33]

Good afternoon everyone. I am back from my weekend adventure. Longest night was greT but Saturday was a bit sad. We put our good friend to rest. All my torts are doing great and growing. Might be getting or adopting two new pets, two Adult Raccones to add to the zoo. We have to go and check them out first. This will be interesting!

I didn’t know one could adopt raccoons. Always thought they adopt one’s trash cans instead...

I'm going to post a couple threads. I wanted to wait to make sure everything turns out ok before broadcasting it out of respect for Randy (Tortstork) he's been so cool. My friends here in the CDR have gotten a sneak peak!

Thank you. Can’t wait to read on to find out what creature emerges from that egg. [emoji6][emoji173]️
