My tort definitely hears - maybe not as we know it but he does respond to noise.
COLD DARK ROOM

My voice equals food kinda thing!
Good morning all.
Blimey! We had some rain last night - lots of lovely rain and some more to come!
Temps only about 63F but that's fine by me too.
I have to go out on a weed hunt for Lola again - he really does have a good appetite at the moment.
So I'd better go before the next showers arrive, and maybe I'll go to a shop and get some food for myself too.
Have a good Tuesday and see you later.

Yes I suppose it is that.
When I arrive home he always comes crashing out of his hide which is in another room where he can't see me, so he must hear me.
Good morning Lyn,
Question for ya....
After all of this rain, ... was there any rainbows ???
Good day to you too Lola!!
Did you See any rainbows my little sweet heart?
No? ... ok then, ... I’m sending you some.
?
??????Have a wonderful day!
And if it rains ALL day... go play in the puddles!!! ??
Hey, it worked for Gene Kelly! ?? ?
They have a timpanic membrane that feels vibrations...
Now I get it!
Good morning all! I hope everyone has an exceptional Tuesday! ?
No, I don't think so. You grip it in your fist and the ring around the top is wide enough to protect your fist from you hitting yourself with the hammer. I want to buy one but don't know what it's called.
Thanks. I've looked this up on Amazon and I think I've found what I'm looking for.
Hey gang…. Hot n muggy as Tropical Storm Eliza heads toward us in a few days. Of course in a few days, because we have a big kayaking trip planned over on Maryland’s Smith Island for the weekend. High winds might really screw up our plans.
Good news on the House Sale - we did all the pre-signing of the FINAL papers today. The Buyers complete all the papers on Friday & wifey picks up THE CHECK later that day.
Some semi-finals in EURO2020 today at 1500 Eastern time. I think we’ll route for Italy.

Well then what's it called? Like I've said a girl can never have enough tools ?
The house sale has completed really quickly - a big relief for you and wifey Im sure.
Hope you don't have to cancel the kayaking.
Oh I think she can - at least I have.
I'm passing as many as I can on to my nephew for their new house.
I had to give you an update.Sorry everyone. It’s all been rather busy. I did warn you. It’s not going to quieten down for a while yet.
The rescue is inundated and short of volunteers. The tennis season is in full swing (we had tickets for both Queen’s and Eastbourne and have tickets for Wimbledon next week).
Mother in Law had an 80th birthday party in my brother in law’s garden which was very chilly, but that’s the only way we could get the family together legally.
And we have been clearing the attic, decorating, selling stuff on eBay…
Here are some of my most recent clients at the rescue to make up for my absence.
Tiny baby Goldcrests, the UK’s smallest bird; they won’t get much bigger than this.

Even tinier one day old baby Robins. Two of them hatched at the rescue.

Sadly, both the above are victims of people failing to check trees for nests before doing treework
And a baby House Martin, a close relation of the US Barn Swallow.

The Robins are now 5 days old and starting to grow feathers. Two out of four have survived so far which is, I am afraid, not unusual. The first few days are so hard.
The goldcrests are doing well. This is Britain’s smallest bird and won’t grow much bigger than this
And at the other end of the scale, here’s a baby Carrion Crow trying to convince me he is helpless and that I should feed him. His eye looks dodgy but is actually fine; what you can see is the nictating membrane.
He is heading for a pre-release aviary soon where he can learn to be independent and have more to keep him occupied than trashing his pen!
We are swimming here. Normally at this time of year I am posting about water shortages. Not this year. The pond is brim full and the rain butts are overflowing. It might be my fault for insisting we got more rain butts this spring so we could top up the pond when we have spells of drought! ?
Yesterday we went to Wimbledon to watch the tennis. We managed to get seats on Centre Court so we saw Djokovic, Federer and Angelique Kerber who beat Coco Gauff. It stayed dry until quite late, but they were able to close the roof to finish the last match.
That should be nictitating membrane… autocorrect ?
Like blackdog said, chisel with hand guard
Don't!! As soon as you give one away you'll find a need for it and have to buy a new one.
That's so funny about the crow ? I just love them and their antics.?
