COLD DARK ROOM

Maybe they feel with fewer houses along the route there will be fewer people to drive their cars in that area.

No, it's the through traffic is the problem, there is an alternative route but its a detour of about 30 miles.
I don't know why they don't make HGVs etc use that way though, it has dual carriageways to and from the same place.

I suppose we should say Get Well Soon, Ray! The sooner the better!!

Ouch - very deep issue here.

Next, you will be discussing the pros n cons of verticulated lorries, and everyone on this side of the pond will be confused.

HGVs, dual carriageways, verges....

Hello!! I hope everyone is doing well.

You are coming to Cape Town! Yayyyy.

Hi friends I am very busy these days. My new fence and gate is finished. My dogs like it. With the new fence they can be together with me in the frontyard of my house too.
Actually I am working on the new enclosure for my sullies in my stable. Yesterday I`ve got the substrate to cover the concrete floor. The walls of the enclosure and the night house are ready too. Today I have to put the substrate in the enclosure and install the lights / heating lamps / che. Hopefully this evening or tomorrow I can put the torts in their new home. Pictures following soon.

Happy humpday to everyone and keep on torting.

Amen to all of the above.

Lola has had a busy day today and has been outside grazing on his clover patch for quite a lot of it.
It hasn't been that warm - cooler than I have usually let him out for in the past, but he has been waiting by the door so who am I to stop him?
He returns to his basking spot to recharge regularly so he should be OK.

I'm taking Saphire out too. He stays out in the sunshine instead of hiding. June has been cool, rainy, and not typical.

They do have such personalities! I’m having trouble getting Toretto to go poop outside[emoji28]... my husband says leave him alone and eventually he will have to go but he will hold it for a solid week and quit eating unless I bring him in to the tub. I have got the new soak hole functional now and he will soak in it a little but I think he is too spoiled to the hot water in the house. I am warming it outside ( not that it’s cold by any means) but his highness will only stay if it’s steaming... [emoji35] He comes to the bathroom door that adjoins his yard and scratches to be let in!!! WHO KNEW????

That is sooo funny...and so like a turdess.

I have a 200 gallon tank that holds the water from the well. So I have a pump that pumps water from the well to the tank. Then a pump that pumps it from the tank to the house. When the water level gets low in the tank there is a float switch that turns the pump on to fill up again.
Anyways I used my neighbors water by putting his hoses and mine to get water to the tank to fill. We are still using less water because I don't want to burn up my neighbors pump.

Good you have a real neighbor. Some of mine are like that too. We help each other.

Best friends ?

Well I had better take myself off to bed, but first I have to check on the bee I rescued from a spider web this evening.
The spider was wrapping him up and he was buzzing for help so I couldn't ignore him.
I used a soft paintbrush to remove as much web as possible then misted him. I gave him some sugar water and when I last looked he was grooming himself and busy on some hebe flowers I put in his tub. I didn't think he'd make it as he looked pretty sorry for himself - he still may not live but hopefully he'll be OK.
I don't feel as if I deprived the spider of a good supper - there are plenty of flies around he can have - bees are precious!!
I just hope he doesn't get his mates to gang up on me while I am asleep
Anyway that was my good deed for the day but nos da for now and take care.

Bees are precious, you`ve said ? I love you, Lyn !

HGVs, dual carriageways, verges....

I forget that not everyone uses the same terms as uk.
Maybe I'll add a glossary!!

Bees are precious, you`ve said ? I love you, Lyn !

Yes - That includes you too Bee!!

 

[Lyn W]

Hello!! I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Kathy
Actually Ray's doing his well at the moment - it's broken.
I hope you and the family are all well too.
How is the new garden shaping up?

 

[Bee62]

Yes - That includes you too Bee!!

 

[Lyn W]

Ouch - very deep issue here.

I hope Ray doesn't get bored with these puns about his well.

 

[Lyn W]

I had better go to bed - back to work tomorrow - thankfully a very short week for me.
I'll speak to you tomorrow evening - happy Friday everyone and Nos Da!

 

[Maro2Bear]

I hope Ray doesn't get bored with these puns about his well.

Just have to drill down for a deeper meaning.

 

[Cathie G]

Well...is a deep subject. I love bees too! And all the shenanigans. The turtle vidio was adorable and it doesn't surprise me that doggys love music cause my wabbit gets po'd if the electric goes out. Where's the music or tv? What animal doesn't enjoy a shower now and then?...well
