The ostrich turtle exchange cracked me up. I think turtles and tortoises are great. I'm full up on pets at the moment though. It falls on mom to make sure everyone is fed and boxes and cages and tanks are cleaned out.
Solarion, very pretty cat. My other one is a tortoise shell. Used to be my avatar for the longest. I'll post her next. Last time we had a pet theme one of my two mice died over the weekend. Hopefully the other one will survive the pet thread.
I do like Agatha Christie and especially David Suchet. I have a few of my old Agathas laying about. I also found a hardbound copy of Murder in the Calais Coach when we were clearing my uncles house. I love the older ones as it's such a step back in time. Tommy talking about being "demobbed " following the Great War.
I'm going on to the next page and probably have comments from there. I've found I can't remember sometimes when I start skipping about.
