It’s safe to say that Cinder is really enjoying her birthday and likes all her gifts She has brought me much joy in a very short amount of time so she deserves it!!!

Aw, she's just so darned cute!

Google says it is a Southern Masked weaver.

Southern masked weaver - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Well the little weavers are sooo neat looking. I was glad to see the yellow one was considered common and not threatened. Birds are so amazing. I have little peacock feathers that have never lost their color and they are more than 20 years old.

And I finally finished Phoenix's back ground. I used the egg trays and the old cork bark hideout to make it. I also made a hammock for him.

Gorgeous!!!!

[Lyn W]

I'm glad you're back!

Thanks Yvonne, hope you are well.

 

[Lyn W]

Lyn! I'm so happy to not see you! ? I've missed you!!!!
I really did miss you... You popped out about the time I came back again.

Thank you so much. I've missed everyone here too, but I'll n.ot be leaving it as long between visits now.
Hope all is well with you and your family

 

[Lyn W]

Welcome back Lyn! What a happy and uplifting post to read. You have been missed! Was just speaking of you a couple days ago and Lola too ;-)

Thanks Heather, good to be back. Happy birthday to Cinders, please give her a big hug from me. Hope all is well with you and the family - 2 and 4 legged varieties!

 

[Lyn W]

Welcome back. Typical Lola, just when you decide you are going to sell the house she decides that she will start enjoying your garden.

Thanks Carol, yes very typical of him! He's still a naughty torty. I think all the basking he's doing now has recharged his solar batteries and he's into all sorts....getting stuck between plant pots , or knocking them over, trying to scale a 4 foot wall and not wanting to go to bed at night etc. The houses I'm looking at have all got to meet Lola's requirements. I've seen some lovely places but either the garden isn't sunny and big enough or not anywhere suitable to put his hide - so I'll keep looking. How are you and all your family?

 

[Lyn W]

Oh. I'm so glad to not see you. I've missed you.?

Thanks Cathie, hope you, your brother and the animals are all well. I look forward to chatting with you again.

 

[Lyn W]

And I finally finished Phoenix's back ground. I used the egg trays and the old cork bark hideout to make it. I also made a hammock for him.

You have a new addition to the family! He looks a happy little chappy in his new home.

She really is a gorgeous girl and looks like she had a great birthday.

But I already have!

The Tort Who Walked By Herself. By Tidgy's Dad.

I must of course apologise to one of my personal top writers ever and this is actually my favourite story of all time. If you're a mum, or a dad and you don't read this to your children, then I despair. Do it. Please don't post anything on this thread, I have set up another thread here...

www.tortoiseforum.org

Please don't reply on that thread though, I want to keep the book uninterrupted.
The reply thread for comments is https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-tort-who-walked-by-herself-chat-page.184920/
Or you can post comments here in the Cold Dark Room, of course.
Hope you like it.
I'll try to do a page a day.

I'll look forward to reading that later. How are you, Adam? Hope Wifey and Tidgy are well too.

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning and Happy Monday to you all. It's a grey day here so far, but going to get hot later and we may have some thunderstorms - hope so to clear the air.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Opo says good morning everyone,

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Opo says good morning everyone,

Good morning Opo!
And Ray!
And everyone!

That's about my extent of being articulate, so far this morning.
I think I need more coffee.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Opo says good morning everyone,

Yep! Thats a morning Sully yawn.!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Our “cooling off” trend of a few days below 90 is bound to be broken today. Back over 90F now for the next week. Hot, humid, hazy & more rain forecast for the weekend. Bla

This AM while taking out a few bags of garden refuse for pick-up, I spotted two nice foxes galavanting & pouncing on the street. Early morning pranksters about.

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

Opo says good morning everyone,

Love that face! ?

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning all!!! Love the peeking Opo pic! And it so nice to see greetings from Lyn first thing... our cool spell has ended here as well and we are looking at highs of 98 all week... BUMMER!! Jayden and I are back at a follow up with his eye this morning.. everything is going well with him so this is just a formality I’m sure. Schools back on Thursday.. I’m a little nervous about it ?...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'll look forward to reading that later. How are you, Adam? Hope Wifey and Tidgy are well too.

Hi, Lyn!
We're great.
Life's Good!
Hope that you, Lola and your adorable neighbours are well.
