Hi and glad that graduation is over! Congrats and hope you are now better...with that blue tongue of yours!
Slightly better, when I think of art schools in fine but when I think of working engineering forever and missing my friends my heart still sinks. So I've started watching House again at nights, Dr House never lets me down!

We're having a real hard time here in Central California determining what the weather is supposed to be like. One day it's in the 80's and the next it's overcast and cool. We had just enough hot weather to make my lettuce garden go to seed and the leaves turn bitter. So today I'm going to harvest the whole shebang. And, wouldn't you know it? Today there is no sun. Overcast and cool.

Anyone know if setting off a bug bomb in my tortoise sheds means they can't ever go back in there? I was thinking of blocking off the sheds from the tortoises and setting off bombs in them. Of course I'd keep the doors closed for a length of time, but I don't know how long the residual would adversely effect the tortoises. If I do it now, I have appx. 3 months of good weather and I could keep them away from their sheds.

Any opinions on this? (I have a really bad oriental roach problem in the sheds)

Yes. I remember as a child my mother & some of her friends went to a Bridgewater carnival .They must have been quite something then , wonder if they still have them ?
I think it's still going - that's if health and safety hasn't killed it of!

Hi everyone hope you are all well today

Yvonne, technical they could go back inside after about six hours or so. I believe you usually keep it shut up for four hours isn't it? Been awhile since I bombed for fleas, so not sure on time line. Just no food or water items should be left inside and I would not be feeding them in there for as long as possible. If you could spray down the inside, that would be great.

Today is our day of break from clouds and rain. Of course it is windy and will only get to the 60s.
