Good Tuesday Everyone.
Last night I got my box for the torts outside. Now I just need to get the insulation and a few other things and then the babies will be set for the cold days. I now put them outside for during the day and they come inside during the night. As night time is cold for the little ones. But hopefully the box will sort that all out.
Anyway have a good Tuesday and don't do anything I wouldn't. [emoji6]

Good morning! I hope your photo logging your progress!!! Cause guess what??) I WANNA SEE!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Good morning all, after such a long weekend, I keep thinking it's Monday today.
Whatever day you think it is, hope it's a good one.
I have 2 appointments today.
Physio for one leg, GP for the other.
Hopefully the GP will refer me to get the clicky, painful knee sorted out sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile stuff to do, so will see you later.
TTFN

Good luck Lyn! Happy Tuesday

The trick is getting it delivered.

I gave complete faith that you can accomplish this.

I luv the Easter egg too BTW.. I have a small collection of. unique eggs on my entertainment stand. Started them just out of school. have a buddy that always said “eggs” when he meant “love you” [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]... that’s where the first one came from.. it’s blown glass I believe.

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a good Easter! I ended up in the land of no wifi or mobile signal [emoji849]

It was lovely though.

The New Forest is famous for its ponies roaming wild and free... fences are to keep them out rather than in.

There were quite a lot of donkeys, cows and pigs roaming wild too.

We did a lot of birdwatching and a lot of walking... just slowly... but my leg mostly held up. The weather was amazing, so I did opt to sit and rest while the rest of the family were more active at times.

We went to Beaulieu (pronounced Bewley) - home of Lord Montagu and the national motor museum which currently has a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang exhibition on.

We also went to Hurst Castle - built in the 1500s and pretty much in continuous use until the end of World War II. It’s at the end of a 2 mile shingle promontory and was used to defend Solent estuary between the mainland and the Isle of Wight. One of the UK’s most important ports is Southampton at the top of the estuary.

Rather than walk the 2 miles on shingle with my bad leg, we got the little ferry boat from Keyhaven

The walking route:

The ferry!

When we picked up Daughter we got to meet the Common Pipistrelle bat she and her flat mate are looking after while he recovers from wing injuries

The Pip is about half the weight of...

The Brown Long Eared Bat (who you have seen before) was released last week having made it perfectly clear he was fully recovered and wanted out. :D

Hello and welcome to the CDR. We may have already welcomed you, so forgive me if I had forgotten. I’m Linda and I live not that far from you in Kent. My daughter is the other side of you near Southampton :)

The CDR is an international chat room where we share nonsense, puns, postcards and the occasional tortoise. Pull up an armadillo and take a seat. The one-legged pirate will be along shortly to take an order for a beverage of your choice.

It is a little gloomy here, but the flying jellyfish will glow a little brighter if you polish them gently. Keep an eye open for the Wool Spider, if she exists, as she can get a little tetchy if we complain too loudly about the quantity of woolly socks she has knitted... she does forget we humans only have two legs each.

That is SO cool! I’m glad your leg “mostly” held up. Hope your resting it some now. I really love reading your adventures. This one looks amazing too!
