Good evening all. WOO this week is going well!
Not my time in the office, but my freelance stuff and the fact I have Friday off.

Looks like an awesomely functional outdoor enclosure you've got there, Yvonne. Might have to do likewise. Either that or cinder blocks. I've decided that I don't trust the bricks I have to stay in place without mortaring them, and I do not want to make something that will be difficult to unmake, haha. (I'll just use them all to raise the bottom some more to ensure I have a very well drained tort palace at a good height. )
P.S. We are back from Arizona. We brought the tortoises with us (since I didn't wanna worry about someone else missing something important or forgetting to come check on them), Laura's parents really enjoyed them, they got some nice sun, and they we're pretty good travelers (even though Rory was very restless on the way over!).

Today's date 2 22, expected to reach above 80 today,of course I don't know how long it will last, but the non hibernating tortoises will be going out today for some fresh air and sun shine. Of course I don't mention this to rub it in anybody's face, only for a factual report of the weather conditions today.
In case anyone is interested I picked up some organic black berries at the 99 cents store fpr 99 cents a container, so my RF' and boxies will be getting some today, of course I am growing about 4 plants myself, but they are not producing right now.

I didn't realize the 99 cent store carried produce.
Speaking of all your good weather - we've been told to expect tortoise-friendly temperatures this weekend!
I'm sceptical. We were in the cold snap last week with snow everywhere, and now we're supposed to expect summer temperatures for a weekend.
Today's been a day of rain and gale force winds, but it HAS been a little warmer than usual.

Here is hoping that Emrys gets a little walk even if on soggy ground.
Speaking of Emrys, Cheryl, do you watch Merlin?
lynnedit said:
I do.
It's one of my favourite shows. I've always had an interest in Arthurian legend and loved the Welsh Celtic names associated with it, but it was Merlin that actually helped me decide on Emrys' name. There are so many others I love. If I actually wanted more than one tortoise I'd have to get a Cavall, a Galahad,a Lancelot, a Gawain, a Mordred, an Albie (Albion), an Arthur (of course). The list goes on - there are so many others, I think it's such a beautiful language. Ian wouldn't let me name our children Celtic names so Emrys had to step up to the plate.
Emrys got picked first because it became better known through Merlin, and because it means 'ever-living' or 'immortal', which is hopefully appropriate for a pet I want as a lifetime companion. All through the last series I found it a bit weird hearing his name so much on a Saturday night - should have thought that one through.
Hi everyone! How are you? It has been unusually warm here in CT so I am going to start seeding the outdoor enclosures in the next week or so, yay!!
Sid and Chewy have grown so much this winter but Leia is pretty much her same size.

Hi Erin! Long time no see (your words, that is). I did some seeding in the Fall, and keep inspecting the ground for sprouts. Probably a bit soon.
believe it or not my parent aren't the hugest fans (oh don't get me wrong my dad particularly likes myths and legends but knows more Greek than Celtic)
oh btw Merlin in my real name...
never watched the TV show Merlin though...maybe I should as everyone says its really good!

Wow. Do you think you are even the tiniest bit magic?
You should watch the show, but from the beginning, of course.
