Yes... good morning. Happy Sunday.
Sadly the Ridley Turtle that had come 8000 miles and was found on Anglesey in North Wales last year didn't survive.
They called her Menai because she was found in the Menai Straits.
She was nursed back to good health in the Sea Zoo where she lived for months, and was tagged ready for release, but after moving her to a warmer rehab centre in Gran Canaria before release she became ill and died. So sad after all the good work of the staff at the Angesey sea zoo.
Congratulations on your anniversary and to Luton for winning the footy.We had our public holiday weekend last weekend.
JoesDad and I will be celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary this weekend.
We’re going to see Luton Town FC (JoesDad’s team) v Huddersfield Town FC tomorrow and on Sunday, the anniversary day, we’re visiting my in-laws (who are....um... “challenging”)
I know! So romantic! [emoji23]
Which are you celebrating the most?
That would be some risk assessment for the school!!
We have to fill forms in for everything we do....the risk of injury section always makes me smile and after seriously considering all the usual risks, I'm always tempted to add something flippant like ' a piece of space junk may fall from the sky and land on us.'
So unfortunately I don't think the school's health and safety officer would allow schoolkids on your roof - unless there were some they weer trying t get rid of.

Yeah, i can imagine the school pamphlet describing the outing. I would think that a Rain Gutter cleaning service could easily clean the panels.
I think there's an element of society in the UK that expects everything for free. Sadly there are genuine cases of poverty here but I'm also sure there are many others who plead poverty when really they just have their priorities wrong and would rather use a foodbank than do without their luxuries.

Keeping busy will certainly make the time fly.
Will hubby be working in Canada eventually?
Words fail me when I hear of madness like this.
and the ones that do come to mind would see me banned, Terrible for victims families and my thoughts are with them.
Hope you had a good night to remember - or not as the case may be
Good morning and a happy Sunday and official start of Autumn (or Spring) to you all.
I was at my brother-in-laws birthday bash last night and didn't get home until 4 am so I'm feeling a little bit jaded today, I was driving so it's not alcohol induced - just tired.
Annoyingly Lola didn't get up until about 2 hours after me so I could have a couple of extra hours in bed - typical!
Anyway it's a bright and breezy start to September - Lola has been out basking in a nice sheltered spot.
Back to work for me tomorrow and it's going to be so hard to get into a routine so I'm going to have to spend today making sure I'm super organised and remember to set my alarm!
The kids have an extra day as we have a training day for meetings etc, so I'll be broken in gently.
Have a good day but TTFN.

And......kind of getting so tired of “politicians” who are so “sympathetic” for about an hour (or less) and then move along without any ACTION. Now, in contrast, look how quickly the PM in New Zealand took action following the mass shooting there. She represents and looks out for her citizens. Here, politicians in general seem to look out for themselves & their personal bank accounts.

Moving right along, I saw another thread here on TFO where someone just recently adopted a Sulcata from Arizona Wildlife folks.....but, I swear it looks like a Sonoran Desert Tort or California Desert Tort, not a sully. It has those smooth paws n claws, VERY UNLIKE Sulcatas. /i lost the link to the other TFO thread/
But I would hope the Arizona Game Folks would KNOW the difference!
Maybe someone else will see that posting.

It’s amazing how many people call the rescue and expect us to be able to come to them at the drop of a hat. We do have some volunteers who will do pick-ups, but we can’t guarantee we have anyone.
People also get angry with us on the phone because we:
- don’t just turn up and move a creature they don’t want in their garden
- don’t get birds out of chimneys
- don’t get cats out of trees
- don’t take grey squirrels because, by law, they’re classified as an invasive non-native species and we aren’t allowed to release them. The only thing we can do with injured ones is put them to sleep. It may be the law, but apparently it’s our fault.
- don’t go to domesticated animals like horses
- haven’t managed to save the life of the particular animal they sent in
Our receptionists have the patience of saints!
I see that the OP now has confessed that she goofed up in the Title. I’m glad my original instincts were spot on, NOT a Sully.
Heres the link..
