TFO has an oversensitive filter for bad language which is why I always weird spacing Blue T it ?
That's ok. What's funny is I finally figured out that Joe's mum knew after the initial shock of it all...and I'll follow your tech experience from now on.??

Sad story in Virginia...

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Police in Virginia say a charter boat operator has died after jumping into the ocean to try and rescue a sea turtle.

Virginia Beach police said in a statement that authorities responded to a possible drowning call about 2 miles offshore on Thursday.

Investigators determined passengers were on a fishing charter boat when the operator jumped off to try and save a sea turtle that appeared to be tangled in a rope.

Police said someone onboard called 911 after the man began to struggle. Marine Patrol pulled him out of the water and he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Smaller than finches. More like US chickadees
I have pet zebra finches. They fly like hummingbirds. That's the size I figured you were talking about. Chickadees might be about the same size or a little bigger. Must be nice to have those cute little birds as a common bird around your home.

Yes. I'll be thinking and praying for his family and community. It would be hard to lose a kind person like that.

Hello everyone I am trying to get back here in the CDR.
Here is a pic of 3 of my grandchildren with their catch this morning.
3 of my son's took my boat to Ludington Michigan for a weekend of fishing. Glad they caught fish. I feel I taught them how to fish out of the port of Ludington. Now they have to figure out how to get their own game plan to bring in fish. Wish I was there. 2 Steelhead 1 lake trout. There was a cold front for a few days. So that pushed the King Salmon out towards Wisconsin. King salmon are the biggest target species they are looking for. But the smaller fish allow the grandchildren to catch a fish.

We have 4 species of T it visit our garden... Blue, Coal, Long Tailed and Great.

Marsh T its are common at the rescue. They’re pretty little birds :)

I know 6.30am on a Sunday is an odd time to be baking, but I just made Some of these. I put the recipe together for my kids when they were at university

Easy Microwave Chocolate Brownies

You will need a suitable microwaveable dish for this.

I have 20cm (8”) square silicon tray which doesn’t need greasing.

If using a ceramic or glass dish it MUST be greased thoroughly before use!

If using a round dish it should be approximately 22cm (8.5”) diameter ideally. However, it doesn’t matter that much :)

You all have scales in grammes to weigh your tortoises don’t you? :D Plain flour is All Purpose flour in the US.
