I’m thinking of her too. @Yvonne G
And @JoesMum
And @Bee62
Aw gee. . . so sorry not to have let you know I'm ok. My tortoise partner brought a germ with him when he came here last week end and I've been pretty sick. I haven't had a cold or flu for years, but this one really knocked me for a loop. I couldn't even go out and turn on the tortoises' lights. I'm still not back to normal, but at least I'm dressed and am able to go outside and take care of the animals. I didn't go shopping on Thursday, so I have to go today to buy tortoise food. I started taking antihistamine at the first sign of a tickly nose (my precursor to getting a cold), so it wasn't as bad as it might have been, but I was sure my eyes were going to explode! They hurt SO BAD!! But I'm on the mend. . . thanks for thinking about me.

Since I’ve been searching YouTube for my Betta this YouTube video popped up and it’s pretty amazing!
I actually kinda sorta teared up from the beauty!
It’s the largest aquascape aquarium in Lisben, Portugal. It’s just a beautiful underwater forest.

Lovely place.
Have you seen the Pope's Eye live webcam . If you google it you'll get great live pics from under the sea around Melbourne.
Only runs during their day time though (bit of a daft thing to say really cause you wouldn't see anything at night! :rolleyes:)
Lots of beautiful fish and rays, I find it quite relaxing to watch.

Glad you're feeling better Yvonne but don't overdo things and try to take it easy .

Good morning/afternoon all.
As you may have already read I am a happier bunny today.
Hope everyone here is well and gearing up for the weekend - or down if you plan to relax!
Whatever you do - have a good Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
I have a trip coming Saturday, going to pick up one more tortoise, in Kentucky, 6 hours one way. Guess I am just glutten for torts. After this one, I hope to not get any more except for the rescue.

I could sit there for hours watching and looking at all the different things in there.

I spent all day Wednesday in bed sleeping on and off, and all day yesterday in my recliner sleeping on and off. I went to the store today, but now I'm going to put my jammies back on and doze in my recliner. I feel blah. Besides that, I took a couple aspirin on an empty stomach and now it feels like they're burning a hole in my stomach. I think I'll see if I have any Top Ramen and make some nice, hot soup.

What a beautiful place. Water is always fascinating me too. An aquarium with plants and fish are a living picture for me and by watching it I can relax.

Chicken soup is the best against a cold or a flu.:)

I was so worried about you!
Glad you’re on the mend!

Poor you, because of the snow and the cold weather. In Germany it looks like spring is here. The cranes are back. The first of them came 3 weeks ago. These birds always carry the spring in their "baggage".:)
In Ohio, the weather can't make up it's mind. One day it feels like spring and the next we have snow. My little guy was telling me It's spring about 2 weeks ago...he's begging to go outside. You aught to see his little puppy tortoise eyes.

That's a long trip, that would be the same as me driving from home to Carlisle in the North of England.
Have a safe journey!

Wrap up warm, enjoy the soup and put your feet up.
Can you take paracetamol? They may be kinder on your stomach.
Soup and snoozes the best thing for colds.
