Trachemys scripta elegans

Why were red-eared terrapins ever considered to be good pets in this country?

I don't know where this poor sample came from. He may be on long loan from somewhere!

So, a terrapin is just a turtle. Well, not just a turtle but a turtle that lives in fresh or brackish water.

I can make no analogies between the life of a turtle and my own. Currently I would suggest that turtles are more alert and active than I feel right now.

Tuesday is over and since Tuesday is fast establishing itself as my own individual 'hump day' of the week I should be happy that it's Wednesday.

In other exciting news, our chimney has been swept so a real fire can be had and our lounge will soon be plastered so we can have our real fire in a room that doesn't look like an abandoned squat.

No cycling today. I was bringing the rocket launchers back! Sounds exciting, right?!
