COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

Thanks Lyn. I hope so. Maybe I should get some anti - fungal cream / athletes foot cream and put it on for a few days just in case.

Nooooooooooooooooo ! Please don`t treat the skin / face of your tort with this cream. It is not necessary and dangerous when the tort is able to rub the cream in his eyes !
Please don`t do that. Use clean water and keep his face wet. That will be much better !

Good morning Linda (and everyone else) ! I’m Heather. I absolutely love looking at all the different landscapes / sea scapes. I have a lot of respect for the friendship you seem to have here and of course the common love for your babies. Thank you for sharing with me!

Hello Heather and welcome to the CDR, the Cold Dark Room. Our Dark Lord Adam @Tidgy's Dad who created this place for us is absent at present but will be back soon.
In the meanwhile feel comfortable with us. We are living in different dark corners in here, using armadillos to sit on or serve coffee and tea and using yellyfish to light up the dark a little bit. Be aware that you don`t to step on a hedgehog it would hurt you both. The snowleopard that lives in here only eats carrots and the penguins Silly and Willy are eating every fish they can get.
We don`t know if there is a woolspider. We never saw her but some of us woke up with new knitted underwear on. So be careful ( if she exist ).
The one legged pirate and the leprechaun opened a bar not long ago. The name of it is: The drunken penguin.
We are friendly folks from all over the world.
My name is Sabine, or Bee and I am from Germany. Glad that you found us Heather to be a new roommate in this cold dark place.

• Even a small amount of pure coconut oil dabbed on his head would help the appearance. Or even maybe more soaks...but it all looks normal for a tortoise.

Ok, successfully back from Maryland’s Oxford on the Eastern Shore where we kayaked about 13 miles on some very calm waters in hot humid conditions. Temps in high 80’s.

If anyone visits the US and wants a very scenic, quiet traditional on the water location to visit. Make a trip to very low key Oxford and a little more touristy St. Michaels (more shops, pubs, cafes) on Marylnd’s Eastern Shore.

The route looks long. How many hours or days ( ? ) do you need ?
The little houses / villages look nice. Seems to be a peaceful town to live.

What a wonderful orange color. I love sun settings and warm summer nights. Your pictures makes me want to swim in the lake. I love water.

Somehow or other I missed this thread. Naughty me, I will go sit on the naughty step for a little while .

When you look at the map, it does not look very far, Buuuuuttt then you really think about it and it must be very far . Having said that Mark your back and arm muscles must be very strong. You could most probably carry Sully with no problems.

Are you by any chance a Turtle in secret Sabine? Wait that must mean that Mark is a secret turtle too, as he loves water as well.

• About 5 hours of paddling...plus a few breaks and lunch and swim time.

And just for fun and because I can.


These two are very beautiful. (all these are taken from pinterest)



I have never seen one this colour. Would love to though.


Some unusual specimens:
Maybe this is what the Woolspider looks like (if she exists)


Very cute



I don't think anyone here would have one of these:


This little Octopus is too cute:


And because I live close to the sea and one of the reasons I don't go into it:


And until later I will leave you with this cute little guy. Looks like a water alien in my opinion:

....and who knew we had so many sea horses in the Chesapeake Bay. Local family rescued a ton of them rec3ntly trapped in a net.

Good morning Linda (and everyone else) ! I’m Heather. I absolutely love looking at all the different landscapes / sea scapes. I have a lot of respect for the friendship you seem to have here and of course the common love for your babies. Thank you for sharing with me!

It is a friendship without international boundaries and with a shared humour (or humor if you Americans insist )

We do try to have support each other as well as have giggle. Where else could you chat with a German with a sheep and cats as well as torts, a Russian who lived in Turkey moved to Denmark and is currently in Canada, a Welsh woman who uses her oven as a wine rack, a kayaking Marylander who possibly lives in his Kayak , a British paleontologist living in Morocco, an afternoon-tea loving Louisianan with a travel bucket list that will take light years to complete, a brai loving South African, a couple of shelled friends whose names suggests the opposite to their actual gender and many more.

We do like to share postcards. What you regard as everyday is novel to those of us not in your locality

And here is my postcard of the parish church here in my town taken while I was out for my walk this morning

Yesterday, my daughter played 6 games this weekend and made it to the finals!! We lost 0-1 in the last 20 seconds[emoji22].
I would have rather gone to PK’s.
But we are so happy for them! This never happens to us!!

I think I would like to spend some time in the drunken penguin and I hope the wool spider visits me because .. hey, we all need some new underwear every now n then [emoji23][emoji23]

Glad to meet all of you!
