They agreed to this, and gave me additional $$ to 'rent' ten more feet across the front for their wall building equipment. But I'll get that back when the wall is built. But this cut into my pond, which meant I had to allow it to evaporate and dry up. I have four big stock tanks full of turtles and fish. I can't get my pond back soon enough. It's a big job taking care of that much unfiltered water!

Well, I'd love to be able to post pictures but the powers that be here on this Forum don't deem me worthy of picture posting. I have a little message at the lower left of my screen telling me I can't post pictures. I have 4.3 full grown radiata. This will be the first year I will put them together, or, I should say, next year will be the first year. I've got a couple very experienced coaches helping me with the breeding (Zovikian and Sterant).

Well, back out to rake more leaves!
Wow that is quite a bit of your land to lose and it must be very difficult having to cope with terrapins and fish without your pond. Hope it doesn't take too long to construct your new one and that the road building work isn't too intrusive.

Sorry you can't post pictures I can't do it either so ask young Gordon to do it for me!

Take care - Mary

I stood still for a minute and no mater what I did it didn't ease off so I had to hobble to the bank and then got the other half to go and get my van as there was no way I was getting to the carpark. Well I eventually got home and rested it all day and Thursday and today I can just about walk.

This getting out for fresh air and some exercise is not good for you........
Here in the States there's a PSA on TV about the mesh they've been using for hernia repair going bad and needing to be replaced. I hope that's not the reason for your pain.

So what was wrong with your leg? Blood clot? Don't mess around - see the doctor!!!

I've emailed pictures to Gordon a couple times and have never received a response. I'm thinking he didn't get them.
