I am on hols in Mexico now.
it rained a lot today and we got very wrinkly having to sit in the pool until it stopped.
there are loads of massive locusts about. There's a roof patio area with high glass panels to stop you falling off and they love to sit on the top of them and they also like to sit in the palm trees munching away.

I read about some in Mexico that looked like fairies but their faces looked too evil so they were deemed to be aliens

Oh brilliant . Will catch that later (ODI 5 on right now ).
Thanks, Nuthatch

Just listened, Nuthatch = !!
So funny - Earl's Court was known as Kangaroo Alley due to the number of Australians there

Surprised that the circ. is still only about 250k - The Forum's % is way out of whack

Yesterday we dug up 138 turtle eggs.
The mama turtles will drop their eggs wherever they want so the hotels dig them up and re-bury them in a safe spot and release them when they hatch. We did get to hold one the other day but haven't seen a release yet. Hopefully tomorrow morning.

Wow, JooMoo - I wonder if they look around for mama ... and does mama wonder where her eggs went .... mmm

I know and they thought it would only last two weeks (?!) _and only made it to have something to show people - prospective employers (?!)

I wonder how much of it is online - just a taster I think - I haven't looked for years - will do sometime.

I bought one of their Charles and Camilla mugs with the original wedding date on ... then Charles had to go to the Pope's funeral that day.

On the back is a line - - - - and "In case of divorce break here".

I think mama dumps and swims off never to be seen again.
We dug up more eggs this morning.
Then we went to dig u the baby turtles. He gave us the first two to come u and they were feisty little things. One of them was only half out of their shell so he gave it to my friend.
There were 84 live out of 87 eggs. They put the turtles in a bread basket and then brought them out to us.
It was magical.

I wondered if that was the case with the eggs.

Do the locusts look like aliens?
