Good morning from a bright and sunny Dorset. Went dandelion gathering yesterday, food for my friends tortoises. Only about 5k but my legs were extremely tired due to overdoing it the day before. Walking group this morning, and black bin + food waste collection.
Have a peaceful day everyone ☀️

Morning all......its nice out isn't it.
Not sure what im doing today. I do have to get the chicken casserole on as I've promised the family they will be having it later.
I should have a walk.....I just couldn't do it yesterday. Head said yes but legs said no chance.

Good morning all.
A bit of a misty start to the day here.
Sainsburys are delivering the weekly goodies this morning and then it will be up to the pharmacy for my meds and call into the bank to get my internet banking switched back on.
I might call into the Mitre for an ale and to catch up on local gossip.
Enjoy your day everyone. :cuppa:

A question (or several).
Why do you use Sainsburys ?

I dont shop on line as Aldi is handy and gives me a reason to actually do something.
My daughter has ASDA hone delivery and they have some things that Aldi doesn't so she gets them for me.

Welshie lives out in the sticks. Would eg Sainsburys deliver to her ?

Just how many dandelions can a tortoise eat ?
We had a tortoise for years** but never fed it dandelions.
**it sadly got stolen.

It's the dandelion leaves that they are partial to. They eat quite voraciously, especially when coming out of hibernation. Fresh tomatoes, grapes, lettuce etc are also favourites. There's a few local houses with large gardens that grow and sell spare produce as it comes in to season, they're happy to donate stuff that is going over or is surplus.
