@wesmorgan a bit of that, but I’m currently enjoying playing with a different language than those I use in my day job.

@Saysdana none of them have yet been sworn in, it’s “representatives elect” who chose the speaker. I’ve failed to find a decent explainer on it from a quick google but sure someone will

This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

When I came over to and introduced myself a few weeks ago, a couple of people I didn’t know made me feel very welcome.

To anyone who has just arrived— it’s gonna be ok. We have blankets, hot chocolate, furry animals, and a crackling fire. Make yourself at home.

Well happy Sunday today is Christmas photo shoot day for the Christmas cards. Probably a walk in the park and then Sunday roast. Nice relaxing day here. What are you up to?

@jen they are spur thighs so won’t get anywhere near as big as yours… Molly (Mum) and A’Tuin (Dad) are well over 100 years old. Then there have been 9 babies in the last 5years who are all doing well.

@quoll that’s a beautiful part of the world (got married near there) best of luck with your tortoises.

2022-11-19

@quoll they’re spur-thighs (Testudo graeca) and are all starting to wind down. It’s still a bit warm here (SW London) for them to go down, they have their own heated shed outside.

@jen I have been told that I have sent a photo of the wrong tortoise! That’s A’Tuin, here’s all of the together. #TortoisesOfMastodon

@jen Hi Strawberry, this is Molly, also extremely stinking cute: #TortoisesOfMastodon

Well, happy Saturday everyone.
Anyone doing anything exciting? I’m going to be having a lie in and then getting hibernation spots ready for these guys. #TortoisesOfMastodon
