Cannot guarantee that. But I will give it a go. For a bit. There were some really annoying people in that team but they have gone so thatās probably going to help.
Gulp.
You may recall that the 1st ever photo uploaded directly to here was Rambo, our pet Tortoise.
Well, today Rambo has left us, moving on to a new young family to begin a new adventure.
It is heart-breakingly sad, he has been with us for almost 24 years. That sadness is tempered by the fact that for the last 2 years he has been marooned on a tiled patio and not in a garden.
EU rules means he couldnāt have come with us or moved to the familes of the kids.
His new family are so excited, their Dad has an allergy to Dogs & Cats and they had been looking for a Tortoise for a while. Unlike UK they are quite common here and so despite being bloody broke in the run up to Christmas he has gone with love not with any exchange of funds.
Farewell Rambo. I hope you will enjoy being back in a proper garden again, able to munch the flowers as well as your daily lettuce, carrots, cucumber and apples and enjoy digging holes in the sand and the lawn again!
Miss you already

Iām now as old as @BTripz
My daughter surprised me with a book i hadnāt heard of, but looks right up my street 
And one iāve been after for a while.
Two books that most would find dull and iām over the moon, so my age appears to have caught up with me at last.

Happy Birthday mate! Crack open a bottle of Enmore to celebrate!
On this at the moment.
Might have an Enmore later, although iām quite enjoying the Versailles lately(all 63% vol).

Happy Birthday. Start as you mean to go on, growing old disgracefully is the way to go.
Continue as i am then.
Thanks for the advice 
Good man, thatās what we like to hear. I never doubted you!

Donāt know what to do with myself. Your supposed to moan more as you get older(i may have peaked to soon), but thatās a risk(for me at least).
Iāll become a happy drunk. Sounds fun and i havenāt regularly drunk alcohol for breakfast since i worked in Germany(i hear @Intiniki is the expert in this field).
And a big happy birthday from me as well, you young scamp!

Whenās she turning up?
When we got the bus back to the airport the driver proudly took us down Rihanna Street in Bridgetown. āShe doesnāt forget her rootsā he said, āsheāll be back to see her folks at Christmasā
So if you want to stalk herā¦itās Bridgetown, Barbados at Christmas.
