Good Morning Early Bird Gang

[janbee]

morning all from Brighton-sur-merde xx

[Psybbo]

like the rest of us Woof
Baldric, I thought you had found your ideal home, what have I missed?

[tonyav]

Blimey, hope your tortoises will be ok Woofgang. How many have you got ?.

[Psybbo]

Ah, I see thanks, knee problems here as well!

[Baldric]

Sibs we're over 3 floors where we are now that's a lot of steps if your knees don't like it, and it's up to me to keep the OH happy (and creak free ;o)
It's got similar 180° sea views, more parking and should be ok.

[woofgang]

computer games gness......
Baldric, that sounds lovely. I want a bungalow for the same reason but can’t see my way clear to do it for a year or two.

[gness]

Have fun, Woof...hope the torties are fine....

Off to bed myself.....all looks okay over the road...family cars are there....but I'll mess around on padi for a while to make sure....xx

[Psybbo]

Daughter has the answer for us I think or so she says, her holiday home and eventually her retirement home

[woofgang]

two torts, one is my pet from childhood so I know she is at least 50 years old, very likely more as she was just about full grown when I got her; the other I adopted a few years ago, I know she is more than 80 years old from documentation from previous owners. I am well used to the hibernation thing, the first cold night or two are worrying though.

[Psybbo]

Right I'm off thanks for the craic xx

[tonyav]

I can remember them putting the tortoise into hibernation on Blue Peter as a kid. Into a box packed with straw if I remember correctly.

[tonyav]

G'night Psybbo x.

[gness]

The craic can be good, Psyb...still smiling at Dave's tights thread....☺

[woofgang]

that’s right tony only now I have two max min dual sensor thermometers in each box, independent thermometers monitoring the shed air temp and a heater plugged into an thermostat plug and then into an RCD. Some people use larder fridges for hibernation, you get excellent thermal control but twice in my life I have seen a larder fridge’s thermostat fail and it ice up completely over night so i aint got the bottle to do it.

[tonyav]

What your doing sounds good, Woofgang.
Keep them away from the larder fridge !!!!

[woofgang]

hopefully this will be the final check and can get my head down.....
