Good night all, may the rest of your day be good. (Good luck with trash pandas Maggie!)
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Sapphire and I are on the same page. He's trying to hole up too ?. After we get through winter setting in he usually starts getting more active around the end of December. By February he's begging to go outside. Mary K is smart in getting while the getting is still good.?
Nos Da sleep well!
Lola only left his hide today because I put my quite realistic looking ornamental Hermann tortoise near his food in his room. He came out to make sure the other tort didn't get his food and ate it himself, then I was able to clean his hide and give him a warm soak. He went back in and had room service for the rest of meals. He's definitely noticing the drop in temps even though his are constant.
You are such a sneaky little woman hahaha ? good idea. I need to finish the stuffed tortoise I want to do ?
Just dark, cold, and rainy pretty much all day today. Our Sully has been out eating and basking in her “Summer Quarters” most of the day. Fresh banana leaves from our tree, some Romaine, hibiscus leaves and hay. I’m sure some Mazuri as well from her saucer.
Rain means - yep, another mini-birdhouse tree ornament.

Rainy here for last couple days & at least tomorrow. But looks like it's warming up for the weekend. I have no woodworking skills so nothing to show for the day except for vaccuumed cat fur, spider legs & probably toe jam.
Where's the pic ???
I received an email from the City engineer asking when is a good time to coordinate with me about the construction of my new driveway. Yipes! It's getting close. I'm nervous! Somebody pass me the Nervine. Does our pirate carry that?
????????
Sounds like you did way better than me. I'm still being a tort... and semi hibernating. ???
You mean "Yo Ho Ho & a bottle of rum," don'cha?
Good luck Yvonne, I would be nervous too with such a big project on you doorstep.
I hope they look after you and show you every consideration possible.
Good morning all it's another bright, chilly start.
I haven't seen my hedgehog at the feeding station for a few nights - I hope he's OK as he looked pretty small.
I was hoping to catch him to weigh him and make sure he was at least 600g (21 ounces)
My sister has just taken in 2 juveniles who were too light to hibernate to help a hedgehog rescue centre out.
It's not going to be so cold for the next few days so maybe he'll surface then.
Lola is still tucked in his hide, and my PC is lagging behind again so better try to fix it.
Happy Wednesday and see you later.

Yep - first F R O S T overnight, but the sun is up now & melting.
Ok, here are two pix from this morning. One “natural” and another with some sanding sealer. The grainy pattern you see is called “spalting”, a result of various fungi acting on old wood.
Natural
With Sanding Sealer Applied
And to finish off this series, here’s one last pix - from the log I started with, to the rounded blank, to the mini bird house ornament with a splash of Gunstock stain. We’ll add a few sparkles & a spray of clear finish.
Good morning all.
We're having another bright, sunny day and it's slightly warmer today so managing to dry the washing outside.
I hope you all have a good Thursday - can't believe the weekend is almost here again!

Bright, chilly start again here today. Started out around 35F and its up to 40 already. Second 
FROST of the season. We have some leaf raking & more daffodils to get in the ground. After our torrential rains just a few days back, the soil is moist & easy digging.
Brought in a few Hostas that I keep in pots & decided to put them near our Sullys Winter quarters. I’m thinking the warmth & artificial lights will keep them growing & hopefully provide food. Next in - two large pots full of Opuntia (again, more free munchies for Sully).
Hope everyone has a great Thursday.
