"Absolutely gorgeous," Mr Adam said, not meaning it, still in the grip of raging Tortoise Envy as he was.And now, as he looked down at Mrs wifey's smiling face gazing up into his own, he thought for the thousandth time how pretty she was (pretty dim more like, as will be seen), how sweet and gentle and full of kindness, and his heart ached with love. (lust, in my opinion, naughty old man).

Just look at that water bowl !:eek: How on earth is the poor tortoise supposed to climb into or out of that.
And when he is in it he will probably drown, or in shallower water try to get out through the pyrex. An opaque soaking bowl is better, in my opinion.
And the tray is full of coco coir and is intended to be a litter tray. Tidgy is toilet trained but little Alfie is not, though he sometimes goes in the coir by chance, and it's too shallow for him to dig in properly. :eek:
And notice the rotten diet we spoke of . Lettuce, celery, cabbage and sea-urchin. (anyone spot the sea-urchin ? )
The sea urchin is not on The Tortoise Table but one imagines it's not good tortoise fare, but this is my fault as I couldn't be bothered to go and get a slice of tomato. So the sea-urchin is actually supposed to be a slice of tomato.
If you compare the two, they're a pretty close match, i think.

Guten Tag John !

It hurts to see how bad people treat nature with their waste everywhere !

I totally agree, Sabine. It kills me when I see pictures of all those plastic bottles that have washed up on beaches, practically covering the sand. This is the Dominican Republic:

Good morning!
Just sitting in my car sipping coffee while my sons soccer team warms up.
Between the two kids we have 7 soccer games this weekend and maybe 8 for the finals.

I usually walk the track during warm ups but I didn't have time for my coffee.

I'll try to take photos today of our area. I love seeing all of yours!

@Moozillion
Good morning! :)
I Am trying to stay busy today, or else I'll just SIT and read or noodle around on the Internet, which is not healthy-i should be more active! But I MUST keep an eye on the Tortoise Forum or else my day feels empty! :)
