Quick "popping to the bathroom hatching reptile update" - my reptile has pushed further out of the egg and I can see eyes! This is the best toy ever!

Back to bed, night all! See you in a few hours!

That toy sounds fantastic!

(Must investigate further!...........)





Edit....
Is this them?



Apparently, it takes 48 hours to hatch and grow, and must be kept fully submerged in that time!

I once had a hand towel that grew from an inch cube after being placed in water, but never a reptile!

That sounds so much fun. Are there pictures?

I have a fantasy world of my own, with a knight on a quest, some very dodgy goblins who blackmail everyone, a dragon bound by complex rules, many wise women, and a time slipped B&B with both olden and modern guests - lots of confusion between the The Tootling Beck and Tooting Bec. I'd love to share a world like that with others.

Unfortunately most of them are on Facebook but there's a few on https://www.curiouspastimes.co.uk and CP also have a YouTube channel

Littlewing's class grew a dinosaur from egg at school. But she was a little worried it would be a real dinosaur.

Did some power walking this morning (we are talking a few minutes). I am somewhat pleased that I wasn't so far off power walking anyway, but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Feel a little stressed today as we have some people coming to visit us at work, and I haven't got everything done that I wanted to.

Well done for the power walking ww. You'll be at your target weight in no time. Don't worry about not having everything done. Do the most important parts and then fudge your way through the rest.

WaS, that egg looks cool.

MU - hope the festival is good. Remember to stay hydrated!

I am still tired from yesterday. According to pedometer on my phone I did 16000 steps which is good. Don't know if anyone has ever been to Edinburgh Zoo but it's on a hillside so it is a very steep climb to the top and it was warm too. Doctors have increased my meds again and I've gone from feeling great to feeling really low and hearing the voice in my head telling me to die more often. I don't want to stop these as they're the only ones so far I've felt even remotely like myself on. May spend today snoozing and resting and giving DA dog hugs.

Yup, Code, have a relax day!



MessedUp, have a super holiday at the Festival with Swain! Looks like the temperature's going to rise, so I hope you don't get rain!

Yes, As Code says, keep hydrated and don't forget your meds!

(It's all right! I know I've gone into 'mum' mode, but I promise I won't tell you to wear a vest! )

I was googling power walking and obesity - I prefer to google exercise than actually do it! - and found this article:

They do the same thing at Edinburgh zoo. It started years ago when their keeper decided to go for a cup of tea and didn't close the gate properly behind him. When he got to the cafeteria he looked behind him and there was a penguin that had followed him. So now everyday they open the gates and if any of the penguins fancy it, they can take a walk around the middle part of the park with their keepers. Yesterday 5 gentoo penguins came out which is pretty good as there are lots of males sitting on their eggs and chicks and the females are busy stealing rocks from other nests to put in their own nests. They seem to look forward to it and everyone has to make sure their laces are tied and their cameras out of reach as they steal things. They're such show offs and love the attention. They're definitely the stars of the zoo, along with the pandas.

Also, annoyingly I've gained back the weight I lost last week but that's not surprising as I have (massive TMI alert) been constipated since Saturday.

I did actually read this as most of the dodgy goblins are on FB. I think I know a few..... :rotfl:

Have a really strong cup of coffee or three, some liquorice and some figs, and then be amazed at how much weight you [STRIKE]dump[/STRIKE] lose! :rotfl:

Orange juice too. And there are delmonte orange lollies that are 1 of your 5 a day. (5 fruit/veg not 5 lollies!)
