hope Sue's okay as she hasn't posted for a while so I'm going to tag her in this thread and see if she responds. @MoggyMad are you okay and how about @Chefdenoel10, @MenagerieGrl, @Cathie G and @The_Four_Toed_Edward?

Hi all ok I didn’t get the alert again & I decided to have a lookin & found I have been logged out which explains it. My iPad is doing weird things lately! It definately doesn’t like typing on here, it’s so slow.
Dickie has been out in a thunderstorm today on purpose! She did go in her house before it started then came back out in the pouring rain!

Dear Sue,

I did this because I wanted to give you and Pete a soaking like you've given me !

Dear Chef -Zola and I say goodnight to your precious little Gary every night without fail,and always will - together with our little toad Bonus. -they both came into our lives unexpectedly,didn't they, and somehow that makes them even more important - a sort of gift from Mother Nature.
Lots of love from Angie and Zola xxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you Angie.
That means so much to me.
He is in a better place I know…..but….

In better news Sylvia has now taught herself to hang from the ceiling of her cage.
She also seems to go into all of the spots that Gary used to like.
She is a doll too, but if you size them up together you can see that Gary was just a little thumb nail of a chap. So small yet so intelligent.
I have to start directing my attention towards Sylvia now. That’s what Gary would want.

That said,
How is everyone else doing?
Any more animals in the wild?
In NY here today a horse that draws the carriages in Central Park had DIED mid shift.
He was just walking along pulling the carriage,then …. Thump!! … DEAD!
He was just 16 years old.
I don’t know how old horses can get but that sounds young to me!
They are going to do a necropsy to find out why…
I hate those carriages and want them to STOP now that ANOTHER horse has died.

Imagine… a poor horse in the middle of downtown traffic with taxis and bycicles and people and CRAZY people all around.
Must have just given up?

Hello it's me. I'm making sock monkeys for my great grands, taking Sapphire in and out, in and out, in and out.. and dealing with visitors too somehow but I'm always here snooping. I can't resist.

Hi snoopy!!!!

Good evening again everyone!

I forgot to say that Jacky let me rub her chin today. Do you like this Dickie, Zola, Edward and Squirt? How about you three Sally, Sherman and Tank? Also George and Sssssyyyyllllllvvvviiiiiiaaaaaa!!!!!


Natrah

That is the only place Edward likes to be rubbed. His legs and the top of his head are absolutely no nos, he will retract them if tried. And if you rub his shell he will walk away.

Dear Dickie,

That's the sort of thing that Daisy used to do.

Jacky

Just got through typing my reply then the screen blipped & it was all gone I’ve got a gremlin for sure.
This morning it’s raining pretty non stop & I decided to try to get some pictures of the Corvids that visit us in particular the Jackdaws to show Chef. They are very spooky so even seeing me indoors with the iPad screen pointing at them was enough for them to fly off. I will get one eventually!
Dickie has decided to stay in bed today. She is tucked up under her straw so I didn’t disturb her. She ate well yesterday so she’s ok.
We are out this evening for a meal with my sister & her husband. He is 65. It used to be a special birthday years ago when a man would retire! Not now he has another 2 yrs to do like Pete. I’m going to be 70 this year so I’m the oldest in the family. I haven’t fully retired but would like to…..
What a shame about the horse @Chefdenoel10 . So it’s happened before. Perhaps the stress of the job around all that traffic & it wasn’t a young horse having to pull the carriage, probably played a part. Very sad though.

About jackdaws, I think that one is nesting under the stairs of the bike storage in my building.

Jacky loves a shell stroke!

Zola loves a stroke over the whole of his top shell - and gets it every day when we have our afternoon rest.
I really hate being touched under my chin (except by the dentist, who I would tolerate !) and so I never do it to Zola, but I don't think he is keen either.
We have actually put the heating on for a while, as the house is really cold and feels rather damp - it has been a wet and windy day - not very nice at all!
Love to all from Angie and Zola xxxxxxxxxx

Good evening everyone!

It's been raining all day here and Jacky hasn't been very active and I must have been thinking back to the 11th June 2019 when dad had his stroke and was admitted to hospital for the final time. Certain events made it more difficult in that my youngest brother gave me a lift to the hospital, arriving at the same as dad's ambulance and then he went back to work. My other brother arrived later but there were a few times when he said to me "got to think of other people".

Anyway I am looking forward to the concert on Saturday and tomorrow on dad's anniversary I will be seeing the pupils and I shall buy some flowers for dad as usual. We are meant to get better weather so hopefully Jacky can go out. At least there should be some fresh dandelions once I do some clearing.

Goodnight everyone

Natrah, Jacky and Angel Daisy

PS: Jacky and Daisy saw me through everything

Jacky and Daisy must have been a great comfort to you when your father died - I truly think that tortoises who are really close to someone can sense their distress and sadness - it certainly feels like that with Zola, anyway- and he wants to help me.

Hi snoopy!!!!

Yeah well I got rooked into making a sock monkey for a great great grand for a friend. So that's 9 instead of 8. Really I couldn't resist doing it. So now I'm going to make 12 instead of 9. So I'll be just snoopy for a little while longer.

Sorry I missed any posts of Sylvia. What is she?
