Big snake on the lamb....watch out!

Snake that could eat a human on the loose in Cambridge
Reticulated pythons, native to southeast Asia, are the world's longest snake, and can grow up to 9.6m (31.5ft) long.

Oh dear - not the sort of thing you want to find in your rhubarb patch!

My days are too short, 24 h are not enough.
14 hours to sleep, 2 hours to awake, 2 hours to eat, 2 hours on the computer, 2 hours to prepare for the work and ...... Only 2 hours for working left ...

That reminds me of this

...and I expect they'll miss you Ben, but you can always ring home to see how they are.
Where are you going - uk or abroad?

Vienna!

 

[Pastel Tortie]

You might not have that option. I do have that option only because I'm "considered" elderly and re tired...

As long as you apply the same philosophy to"elderly" that @Yvonne G does, you'll be in great shape for many years to come!

 

[JoesMum]

Vienna!

Ooh nice. And chance to practice your German too!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Ooh nice. And chance to practice your German too!

And a good place to pick up an original Sacher Torte or two. And easy to carry on board....with no paperwork.

I grew up with a mum who would call big spiders “Krakens” (she hates spiders)

Your mom obviously never saw a "real" kraken:

Good afternoon/morning.
The temps have certainly dropped today, it's cloudy and very gusty.
I've just had my longest walk since January - almost 3/4 of a mile in total!
Leg and knee a bit achy but Lola has a lovely big bunch of dandies and plantains to tuck into.
He's pretty hungry today and already finished off his usual amount of food but he's certainly enjoying the extra portions!

YEA!! (on the walk). I try to walk a mile every evening. I don't always make it, but I try!

Yes. She's one of my heroes.

Vienna!

This is a bit before your time but you may have heard it.

Have a lovely time!!

I can’t say she has

 

[Yvonne G]

Yes. She's one of my heroes.

Have a lovely time!!

Would you believe it, my Nan was singing that every time someone said Vienna

She has good taste!!!
Take lots of pics to show us when you get back if you can!

Super cute! Can’t wait to see if he will use it.

It's supposed to rain all this week and I figure that is what is inspiring him to enjoy my backdoor. Possibly he'll remember it if we get into a drought and heat wave. All the other toads live under our garage when they get bigger. It's in a low lying area that has been prone to flooding since last year. He remembered the bags so it's a real possibility. Maybe some leaves in it would help.

Yesterday my husband had a spontaneous bleed into the back of his head. He will not be waking up from this. He is at the hospital on hospice care. There is no response from him at all. I am with him.

I'll check in here as I'm able. I'm also posting this in the general forum to inform those who are not visitors to the CDR.

Please, treasure your loved ones...they can be gone in an instant.

Karen I’m so sorry for what you and your family are going through. Praying for you.

 

[EllieMay]

@EllieMay are you okay? I haven't seen you posting for a while.
@Kristoff how is everything going before the big move?

I am. We are in Yellville Arkansas with very little service and limited WiFi.. trying to catch up now. We are staying tonight and will head back home tomorrow.

I am anxious to hear from Lena as well!

 

[Cathie G]

A Kraken is methodological creature from greek methodology. It was a terrible creature who Hercules (I think it was) battled.

I kinda started remembering after the CDR triggered my memory. I didn't remember it as in the Greek myths though. I haven't read those for at least 50 years.

 

[EllieMay]

Heather!! There you are!
What have you been up to? Hopefully having lots of fun with the family!

Lol... I’m just slow to catch up. I’ve got a couple of pictures to post though. We canoed the Buffalo River yesterday. It was beautiful.
