Yes all good with me thanks Linda. Lola continues to rule the roost. He has finally realised he's a tortoise and has enjoyed lots of time in the garden and even started eating grass - only took him 8 years!Hello Lyn. Hope all is well with you
Joe’s Bro has gone freelance, acquired a lovely French girlfriend and they bought a flat together last year (that’s an apartment for our friends overseas ) Life is treating him well, but he is in IT which helps with the salary to afford to buy a property!
We celebrated Joe’s Dad’s retirement with lengthy travels in France around the Rugby World Cup (yes, I was supporting Wales of course)
This year’s plans were more modest and two trips got cancelled due to Mum and a third next month depends on whether the gas bubble in my eye has dissipated. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for 4 days in Budapest!
Next year, we’ll undoubtedly visit Joe’s Sis in Philadelphia. We have other plans too, but I’ll let on nearer the time.
And at the rescue, we’ve just got over baby bird season and are now hitting peak hedgehog season! I need to steer clear of infection risks to my eye at the moment so I can’t do shifts yet. Hopefully I’ll be cleared for both driving and that at the end of the month
This year I have 3 hedgehogs using my garden which is amazing considering I only have a small garden on a busy street off an even busier road. One of them is nesting in my garden under my crocosmia leaves. I have secured an umbrella over his spot so it's nice and dry. I've bought a Hogilo house for him so hope he'll move into that.
He's had a cough during the day, so I contacted a local hog carer with recordings in case it was lungworm, but it seems to have calmed down now.
I have a couple of trail cameras keeping an eye on them, and footage going back to April. It's lovely to see them but I do worry if one or two of them misses a night.
I'm so pleased Joe'sBro is a
doing well and best wishes to Joe's Dad for a long and healthy retirement too in spite of the family worries and sadness you're going through.
