Shocking really...

The owner returned from her shopping trip with a first edition of Practical Reptile keeping, she kept it from me initially, strangely enough at the side of the microwave until she got some peace and quiet, one of the little people is also doing a project for school about reptiles, ever keen for pictures but this magazine will stay intact. There is loads of information in it about tortoise, what more could anyone want? Owner had a flick through in the shop, if it had said to keep tortoise in glass tanks she would have been mortified, but no, KEEP YOUR TORTOISE IN A TORTOISE TABLE SET UP, let us breathe in an open air environment, hurrah, I hope the message reaches some of the mean people who let my relatives live in condensation filled tanks.

The real shock of the magazine was the pictures, lots of high quality pictures, stories about a trip to the Galapogos islands, but.... I can hardly type there were some erm, mating pictures, no everyone should this picture owner referred to it as tortoise porn but I think she is exagerrating, the tortoise just looks very happy, I presume copyright & all that I can't include it, but everyone should see it, absolute classic!

Go & buy Practical Reptile keeping now!

Wow!

The owners have returned... all wearing the same glasses, thought optician appointment wasn't until tomorrow, chatter concludes they have been to see monsters vs aliens, they weren't even gone that long, needle poked in eye, amazing! yeah sounds it... flying balls into your face, they seem impressed, doesn't sound so good to me but they brought back a dandelion with them, I think they feel guilty for the influx of popcorn they have consumed.

They had another home in visiting the cinema, the new tv would seem smaller when they returned, but no it still looks gigantic! Impressive picture quality, looks more coloured in than the last one, deeper colours they say they spent last night flicking between normal football and football in HD, they were admiring the patterns on the grass, never mind the grass, where are the dandelions!!!

A new arrival

i wish they would keep me better informed of what is going on, the morning started bright and early (too early if you ask me) the netire room turned into a building site whilst a new creation was built, a phonecall "30 minutes" panic followed, could they build the creation before the 30 minute deadline.... I am sure you are on the edge of your seats, I was on the edge of my shell, but no they didn't make it, this massive box arrived, great I thought, one way of changing the flooring = cover it all in cardboard boxes! I decided to snooze whilst Mrs Owner left the building, by the time she returned there was a big difference, out with the little tv in with the, the, how do I describe it, an almighty moving picture sat on the new creation, I say sat but they keep calling it a stand, a bit more shuffling around with the conclusion that actually it's still rather big for the room, should have invested wsely in Romaine lettuce instead I think

One tracked mind


News has got out... the locals know about my habit, a collection of children called with dandelions for me, very kind, but I can't eat that many in one day, I am tiny, little worried that they have picked my future days food too, hmmm, apparently dandelions are not for sale in the local shop nor do they keep well in the freezer, it is a worry, I am off back into the garden just thought you may like to see todays picture and share my concerns

In at number 2


Oh the dleights of twitter, I have been featured in pet bloggers, how I blushed myself out of my shell and back in again, little old me, well not so old...


It's a busy tile round here, school holidays I believe, some days there are loads of people here - I counted 4, other days they vanish, but life is good I have dandelions, not a great pic, what I can do, just can't get the staff, she blames my light, I blame her photography skills!

Surprise...

Tonight I have been twittering after a day in the garden (fasciinating film of me running round on grass to follow) I have been conversing with a published author & didn't know it! He is @Jessicastrust on twitter http://twitter.com/jessicastrust

His website http://www.jessicastrust.org.uk/

And his book, if I had published a book I'd be twittering every minute about it! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1905264283?ie=UTF8&tag=jessistrust-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1905264283

Truly inspirational in my opinion, to try & change things for others after such an immnese loss for him, their children and everyone...

sympathy vote

Do I blog about it I thought, my traumatic (for me) day today, Mrs owner seemed to get confused she went to a play at school, then came home & wrapped presents, I wanted to shout it's not Christmas! Then after I am snoozing the number of children in the house more than doubles, oh my, they moved my entire tortoise village to another room (for safety & noise they said) I was feeling sorry for me, then made myself laugh if I blog about it does it look like I am after the sympathy vote given I have waffled on ever so slightly recently about votes!
