Ogh. All of those.
Good afternoon/evening all.
Hope you're having a good Sunday.
Still wet here in Wales, and Lola hasn't surfaced at all, not even to peep out of his door to look for food.
We're back in lock down in Wales
.
South Wales has an extremely high number of new cases including the new strain of it. Only essential shops can open which has brought Xmas shopping to an abrupt end and put a halt to Christmas plans for many families, although I'm sure there are still many foolish people who will ignore that.
I was going to spend a few hours with my sister on Xmas Day as my nephew wanted to stay in his flat but I've decided to stay home too and will deliver a lunch to my nephew. I'm OK with that - the weather looks set to be good so a nice walk will be on the cards and hope there's something good on t.v. for the evening.

Good day all. Overcast & cloudy. Cold.
Here’s an updated pix of our Sully coming out of her inside den to check things out.
And, for no extra fees, here‘s a quick video of snack time. Romaine & cactus morsels.

Truthfully, if it's something I would like that would work for one of my animals... I'd buy it. I don't have a lot of money but a local artist needs to make money too. Otherwise we won't be able to get their art. I found an artist that can do 3d printing. I still want my palm tree ? and he has a tank too sooo...he said that it's cheaper to buy aquarium plants so that's what he did buttt! All I need is one forever more.?
I loved those.??
Actually when done legally, it's probably a good thing. Only so many permits are issued or sold each year. It prevents overpopulation and starvation of the animals among other things.?
Nice! So you have wood carving abilities also. That's great. Did you make the snowman on the lathe?
Yes, there are so many deer in Michigan. If you are a landowner you were able to take 10 deer this year off your property. During hunting season.
My area and even the city I live in has a lot of deer. They are so comfy cozy a herd hangs out in broad daylight in a field that's on a busy street ? Ohio's deer used to be near extinction but they have protected them and now they issue more permits. Even birds that were here a hundred years ago or more have come back. Fish and wildlife is doing something right. Along with others trying to clean up the rivers and such. There's another side to that though. Some people take very good care of their exotic animals and shouldn't be punished because others don't. Many of those animals would actually be extinct if not for those people sooo... I hope they will be very careful with the laws of our country concerning wildlife.
Why oh why do I always think this is the cutest tort I've ever seen?? I guess they have a face only a mother can l
ve.
I know what you mean. I did my grocery shopping today. Hopefully, the next four days, I don't have to go anywhere... and after that too. It's cold ?Good afternoon/evening all.
Hope you're having a good Sunday.

Well, I think we must be in the 40 days and 40 nights of rain...my Sulcata pens are flooded, the box turtle pond that is normally dry now, has overfilled itself and flooded Mary's pen. It was in the low 50's so I could have let the tortoises out...but I was afraid they'd drown... lol... the water in 2 of my pens is calf high to me.
Heck...maybe my varmints will drown...whoo whoo
that goose in the middle there is 2.5 ft of cement...

I agree!
Oh my garsh. It's fires then flood. I'll be praying for something in the middle for you.?
I think it is the whole clean up the environment thing working right finally. I mean everyone has to admit a river catching fire is really F'ed Up!
Good morning all.
It's bright sunny with temps of 30'C today!
Only kidding, its very wet, windy and cold - same old thing!
Just heard that there may be a shortage of salad leaves soon because of all the trucks not being allowed to travel to the continent at the moment. It's chaos in Kent with trucks even parked on the motorways.
Hopefully supplies will get to us via the air or Lola will have to eat pellets, which so far he's refused.
We've been having a stand off today. He's been at his door waiting for room service for more than an hour but I want him to come out to eat so that I can soak him and clean his house. So his food is waiting for him in his room and I've had to get the ornamental tortoise out to make him think he has competition - he's just become interested and is edging out.

OK...I'm gonna get reamed for this, maybe. I try to be an active knowledgeable TFO member. So generally I scan a couple of times a day, so maybe I can help if needed.
I have noticed an increase in detailed, done by the numbers, maybe just might be, possibly just a tiny bit obsessive...intensive tortoise keeping. As an example, a SLIGHT example, different kinds of water leave stain marks on a carapace!??? Really? My tortoises live in outside pens with a heated and insulated tort shed, in Oregon, so they are mostly covered in mud, rain or poop. Personally, I wouldn't notice a 'stain' on my outside torts. Maybe what I'm trying to say is, tortoise and turtle used to be a lot more fun and not so expensive or intensive. Gonna close now as I do see to post some examples of what I mean might hurt feelings so insulted.

Hey Ray on that photo, the “snowmen” on the left and all the characters, angels, santas, in the back I carved (by hand). The “fancy” snowmen on the right hand side were first done on the lathe, then painted & decorated.
It’s no better here in Kent. Worse probably because the channel ports are closed due to France not letting anyone in from the UK and our roads have turned into a lorry park.Good afternoon/evening all.
Hope you're having a good Sunday.

I have all my food bought for the next fortnight - I always try to avoid shopping over Christmas and the New Year - so I am not panicking about food shortages.
My sister in law just rang, she was supposed to be in Maidenhead over Xmas with her daughter but can't go now so she went to Asda at 6 a.m and it was already chaotic!!!!
Lots of people trying to do Xmas food shopping they hadn't expected to do and no doubt many panic buying because of the ports too. I haven't ventured near the shops yet, I'm more worried about feeding Lola if the salad sources dry up!!
