*happy happy sigh*

thank goodness for that! and today we are joined by asterochelys radiataa Madagascan tortoise, but not the oldest animal ever (as reported by Guinness World Records), a tortoise from Madagascar called Tui Malila, because Tui died in 1966 aged 189. . .

Just the usual, please, and could there be room on the chaise longue? (I promise not to drop chocolate crumbs.) And will you talk to us about the tortoises in your life? Your Friday salon is becoming one of the - if not THE - highlight of the week.

. . .but that was quite a while ago!

sadly my current life is somewhat lacking in tortoises, but not in coffee and good company

Ohhhh......I sooooo remember Henry. AND those cupcakes. YUM!

Alas-no cupcakes allowed.

But!! I have no allergy to tortoiseseses so we can hug 'im and love 'im and watch 'im scurry around willy nilly.....while we have coffee, tyvm.

Black, ty.
Couple shots of espresso would work, too. :-/
....just thinking of the good of the many!

I get tortoise with my fiddle lessons!
However, another tortoise or so never comes amiss, especially with coffee :)
