Today is Mothering Sunday in the UK.

It's actually a religious festival - always the 4th Sunday in Lent - the day when people would go back to their family home to worship in their mother church.

Nowadays it's the UK's Mother's Day. I have cards from my children :)

Happy Mother's Day to all the CDR Mums :)

Happy Mother's day to you too Linda. I have cards and flowers from my two too and they are going to attempt to cook Sunday dinner together, could be an interesting day!

Lola got me a big bunch of dandelions - wonder who's going to enjoy those the most!:rolleyes:
Happy Mum's Day to all in the UK today - hope your children show their appreciation for everything you do for them.
(Not that they need a special day to do that!)

I plucked up the courage and trimmed Nellys beak yesterday. I have never done it before, was such a weird sort of sensation. She looks a lot prettier now, maybe still needs a bit more trimming but leaving that for another day..
You're brave - but there is a knack to it - I've always been worried I'd hurt Lola's neck so leave his to the vet.

Good morning all!
Another bright and sunny, but still chilly, day here.
I keep making work for myself by washing as much as possible to dry it outside - on my 3rd pair of curtains now.
Not looking forward to the ironing!!

I'm sorry but in 17 years I've never timed any of my torts beak . I put their food on a tile and they trim their beak while they eat .

Hawaii doesn't change their clocks either!

I wish they would just leave the clocks alone!!
It's all to do with the farmers isn't it?
I don't have many clocks so don't mind too much.
I have a collection of about 25 miniature clocks and used to do all those when they were out on display but don't bother with those at the moment.
I think I remember the UK tried leaving things alone a while ago but opted to go back to changing them.

No I hadn't either and have had a tortoise for the past nearly 50 years. This one came to me two years ago with a too long beak and after two years of eating off a very rough tile it hadn't worn down at all. Is there actually any problem with having a long beak? It definitely wasn't interfering with her eating. I know it can be a sign of other health issues but I am pretty sure that isn't the case with Nelly

I'm only guessing but like a long finger nail it may break off to short .
