COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

I like Yves Rocher. They send gifts with every purchase. But I never bought it in Turkey -- it's a luxury-priced brand because of the VAT. Or in Denmark, for the same reason!

Here, Boots (a pharmacy chain) sells its own brand sun lotion and after-sun with insect repellent in it. It is very effective. It’s my saviour when travelling!

Oh, bummer! So sorry! Never mind me...

You had no way of knowing how we feel about
him, but it is the potential tidal wave of destruction at a family and friend get-together.

I have to use the computer to be able to see the pictures

Web view is working for me in the app

 

[JoesMum]

Good mornooning, roommates! I'm on standby for some urgent freelance work that may or may not come today. Might still venture out to visit my favorite charity shops.

Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday!

Sounds exciting

I thought I’d post a few flashback postcards.

One year ago today, JoesDad and I were in Wiltshire. This area is probably most famous for Stonehenge the ancient stone circle.

We visited its cousin at Avebury. The stones aren’t as big, but it is huge and covers a very large area. This is just a bit of it


We stayed at a very old pub in a village called Norton St Philip





And three years ago today, Daughter was establishing a relationship with this guy... XV is a male prairie dog in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan with a peanut butter addiction so bad that he was trapped several times a day.

No, I didn't have a chance to break my leg on the canal. I speak French better than I ice-skate, so one more skill to learn on the way to becoming Canadian.

I'll look for Gaïa on the other thread. You've worked out those dates perfectly!

Learning never stops. Thanks to TFO and members with years of experience, we are just starting to understand tort husbandry better. I might rely on your experience if, or when, the conditions are right for me to have another shelled family member.

Oh yeah! I think something like a russian would do well indoor with a pen outside in the summer. I think a read wellington had a sulcata in chicago? Is that right?

So that means you couldn’t try the largest skating rink in the world! Yes I understand with your Greeks, im sure I could not leave with a wood turtle either. In terms of job opportunities Im pretty sure « L’Île-Du-Prince-Édouard » is not the best unless you’re a big fan of potatos. The mosquitos where that bad eh? Maybe im just used to it haha. Yes for some reason a year ago I tought it was a good idea to ride to Ontarion to buy a sulcata from a terrible breeder. Tought I had done enough research on the subject but now I think tortoises require even more research before getting one, and im not the kind of person to buy animals without doing my research but this time I really failed, heck im still learning stuff a year later! I then tought about trading/selling for a smaller specie but in Can no one knows how to take care of these things and doing so it would be like killing my tort so I just decided I would do my best and keep her. Yes I have a page for her called Sully Gaïa, it’s the name of the restaurant my wife and I went eating for our wedding. Also a fun fact, we got her the day after our wedding so it makes it easier to remember when this is(especially for me) and she hatched exactly on my birthday!

Those are signs you can’t ignore!!! Gaïa is meant to be with y’all and she will do just fine!

 

[EllieMay]

I loved your video. I agree with everyone else about your voice being lovely. I always sound like a hillbilly.

Me too!!! Lol... even as a child, people always joked about a certain Twang that was a little stronger than most. I’d like to say I’ve refined it over the years but it still comes out strong if I’m emotional or passionate about what we I’m speaking about [emoji4]

 

[EllieMay]

Wifey and I looked at a few houses today.

I could really see myself relaxing poolside after a long hard day of kayaking.

Some nice gardening opportunities as well.

Very nice!

 

[EllieMay]

I was thinking the same thing. A slippery slide for a tort. If I was a tortoise, I would love a little bit of extra help.(from point A to point B). I wouldn't want to go belly up though.

Lol... I think I’m still going to have to put some “speed bumps” on the ramp... he still hasn’t went up and in on his own yet. It will be a big weight off my mind if he ever figures that part out!!!

Those are signs you can’t ignore!!! Gaïa is meant to be with y’all and she will do just fine!

Thanks! Yeah the birthday thing is weird...

Good mornooning all!

I hope Lena’s husband finally made it on his trip.

JoesDad got a taxi to work this morning in Delhi... Does the driver get many requests for number 8? !

I would question the competence of the chauffeur - or the door locks - if I was likely to need a hammer to get out of the car !
I also love the way the chauffeur comes 3rd on the list, below the water and newspaper!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to you all!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Good Morning Everyone

Sun is rising in the East!

 

[EllieMay]

My cat is going crazy trying to get the mosquito on the ceiling!

Same to ya! I’m sure your work will come right when your ready to do something else [emoji6]. Charity shops sound fun though!

 

[EllieMay]

Oh yeah! I think something like a russian would do well indoor with a pen outside in the summer. I think a read wellington had a sulcata in chicago? Is that right?

. I think it is... I know I have also seen other member with outdoor sullies in cold climates. It appears that they have an outdoor yard with a heated building accessible at all times. There is one particular picture I remover seeing with a giant Sully playing in the snow.

We all miss Sabine. Especially her singing and warm heart.

I am embarrassed !

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning All. It’s a little chilly here this morning compared to our last few days but looks like it’s gonna be a gorgeous day. Think my son is getting the crud so I will be working from home today:-(

 

[Bee62]

Of course we miss you! This little community in the CDR is close-knit and when one of us is away we always notice the difference [emoji177] x

Okay, I`ll try to spend more time in this cold dark place.
