How sweet! The cupcakes, I mean... [emoji23]

You must be a great friend to have great friends like that. [emoji173]️

That’s just it, I always feel like I’m a horrible friend.. I’m really bad about not calling or texting for Loooonnnnggg lengths of time.. and I’m more of a homebody every day... I also tend to say exactly what I’m thinking no matter how it sounds. And I’m weird with all my animals and such.... so all that being said, it amazes me that there are a few people out there that just don’t care and still love me i was humbled...

I assume “boot” fair doesn’t refer to...

Boot in the UK is also what our American cousins call the Trunk of a Car.

Trunks, of course, are a form of luggage used for travelling to Hogwarts and the nasal organs of an elephants. [emoji23]

I can’t imagine the dumpster space I would need here. And I just did it 6 yrs ago..
I opened my garage door yesterday to be hit in the face with a chemical smell. . . old paint or solvent or something like that. I have quite the store of old cans of stuff. I guess it would be classified as hazardous waste. Now that something's leaking I really need to get in there and clean it out.

So today I washed two loads of clothes (or rather, I dumped the clothes into the washer, added detergent and bleach and turned the machine on), watered all my plants and made the Manouria a smaller area inside their shed so the winter heating bill won't be so high. Now my back is killing me and I'm ready for lunch and my comfy recliner chair.

My power bill was way too high this past winter, so I'm making smaller sleeping areas inside the tortoise's sheds. I'm getting rid of the pig blankets and heating these smaller areas with radiant heat panels. So far I've finished an area in one leopard shed and in the Manouria shed. Three more to go. But I run out of steam. The only reason I was able to do so much today is because it's quite cool outside today. I'm going to have to start walking my mile again if this cool weather keeps up.

Make sure you get some good air ventilation if you tackle that... could be hazy!! I am being extremely lazy today. I did do the required picking up this morning and I weed eated the tortoise yards... now I’m watching Dr.k’s exotic animal er on the tv... never know what I might learn:))View attachment 280196View attachment 280197

Good luck with that. Wear gloves!

Then you'll have at the least 2 miles in doing what you do.

Hope in the wild is another good show if you can get it. I don't know how to send a link.

Good afternoon/morning all and Happy Sunday.Its a bright, sunny day here, but the autumn chill is in the air - I love this time of year!!
Have a good day!
I love it too. We will be getting Indian Summer and I'll be able to get Saphire out all day. This summer was just too hot. I had to take him out in the afternoon for just a few hours.
