Morning all!

 

[JoesMum]

I’m good, just cooking some teriyaki chicken. But, it might not turn out well, I forgot to buy fresh ginger. Sighhhh.

I keep root ginger in the freezer. It grates easily when frozen ?

Oooh, that’s a good idea. I’ll do that, thank you! ?

If I'm remembering correctly, Carol has bowsprit tortoises

I think they

If I'm remembering correctly, Carol has bowsprit tortoises

I think they identified the species.
It's called a parrot beaked tortoise. The new member hasn't responded for a few days. I got a feeling we might have been trolled.

That's a lovely place for a lovely lady. I hope they can't take down her utube channel somehow.

I agree. I go back every so often and listen again.

 

[Yvonne G]

can you post her UTUBE channel name so I may watch her? I didn’t know her but I would LOVE to hear her sing and meet her for the first time . She seemed so lovely. I am so sorry for her pets as I read she loved them so much... wow.. all just like that , here one minute and ......? so incredibly sad ... I am sorry for everyone’s loss here. May peace come to all of you. ?

If I'm remembering correctly, it's Bee sings.

Hot n humid and more thunderstorms on the way. I see there is a “heat wave” in the UK. They complain about dark dreary rainy windy gusty weather & complain about heat & drought!

Mid—August and our lawns are still lush & green here in Marylnd. Usually, the rains stop and things get parched. Not this year. Just hot, humid & wet.

Anyone looking for flower seeds?

What confuses children is being taught different methods by different people. If they have learned one method, then it is better that everyone sticks to it.

You assume the method you learned is easiest, and so do I , but we know and understand that. We can explain it to our children easily in a way they understand.

Because we don’t get the school method, we are rubbish at explaining it and add to the confusion rather than ease it.

Having worked in schools for a long time, I fully understand why every child needs to persist with the way they are taught in class, but I think they need to coach the parents too!

I can understand what you are saying. But I don't understand why they need to change something that worked.

Thanks to her partner for this.
He also has kindly informed me of the animals.
Some cats are at the local animal shelter, others have gone to friends. The dogs, too.
The Greek tortoises are at the animal shelter. The Redfoots are with a friend who is a tortoise and turtle expert in Wuppertal.
The sulcatas have gone to an animal park in North-Rhine-Westphalia. The Aldabras are "in a real tortoise paradise" in Bavaria near Nuremburg. The guy there is a real tortoise freak whose animals live better than he does.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

 

[CarolM]

I will. The only way I can post right now is snap the picture and bad or good or ugly that's what y'all get.

Good enough for me.

 

[CarolM]

YesView attachment 303115ok I learned something.

Oh how beautiful.

 

[CarolM]

@CarolM a new member posted this from S. Africa. Thinking it is a sulcata. After seeing pics it looks like a box turtle to me with the front triangle scute.
Have you seen this species where you live?View attachment 303116

I could be wrong, but I think it could be the
Padlooper tortoise, or it's other name is parrot beaked tortoise.

Maybe check with Tom or MarkW84.

That is correct. Also better known as Angulata tortoises.

Hello everyone. How is my tort family? I’m sorry if I worried anyone. I didn’t mean to.

Did you nod off?

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Maybe check with Tom or MarkW84.

It's been identified.

 

[CarolM]

What’s teriyaki chicken? Not heard of that sounds interesting ?

Hoe are you feeling?

 

[CarolM]

When you‘re better you have to try it. It‘s just chicken thighs, vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, sweet sherry or mirin, ginger, garlic cloves, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. It’s one of my favorites.

You are making me hungry.

 

[CarolM]

It's been identified.

So what is it?
