Maybe you could buy him a sun bed ?

[Snap Dragon]

and sit there peeling him grapes   

[tode]

.... and a tiny pair of shades.     

[AmandaH]

And maybe some sort of tortoise cocktail?  Complete with a little umbrella and a slice of cucumber?

Yeah, right.

No, he'll be upgraded from the conservatory to the utility room (warmer) and offered food and water but that's his lot.  Don't want him getting comfortable here.  He's going back to his Mum on 6 January and not a day later!

And if he plays me up any more, he's going to get posted to Fremantle.  Sure he'll be OK in a box with holes!

[too many girls]

.... and a tiny pair of shades.     

don't forget his beach towel and bucket and spade

[tode]

Do they make swimming trunks for tortoises ?

Do they make swimming trunks for tortoises ?

If they did I bet they wouldn't be Speedos! 

[Rubellite]

And maybe some sort of tortoise cocktail?  Complete with a little umbrella and a slice of cucumber?

Strawberry daiquiri 

[madcat]

Or a Pimms??  The borage flowers would match his eyes....   

[AmandaH]

You lot are madder than a box of frogs

But I love you

I'm loving reading about the antics of plod ( such a great name)...

Me too!

And isn't it nice to see how Amanda loves him a little bit more everyday!! 
   

[AmandaH]

I do NOT love him.  He's a vile reptilian... thing.  With beady beady eyes.  Who won't eat any of the lightly steamed vegetables that I prepared for him.

Anyway, just off to Heathrow to drop off Hubby as he is going to join his Mum, Dad and assorted other relatives for the Wedding of the Year in Fremantle.  Perhaps I could sneak Plod into the suitcase?! 
 

[tode]

Steamed vegetables  ? ? ? ?    :blink:   :blink: 

[AmandaH]

Yes, tode.  Steamed.  And, no, I'm not spoiling him, it's just that he has a handful of frozen mixed veg and the quickest and easiest way of making it unfrozen and cooked is to steam it.

Actually, I could put it in the microwave, couldn't I?

OK, so it looks bad, but it's NOT BECAUSE I LOVE HIM in any way, shape or form.

I love Mavis, Queenie, Elvis and Dolly the chooks.  I love my cat Betsy.  I'm quite keen on my fish, even though they don't have names.  I deffo love Hubby and Daughter.  I am even quite fond of the bloomin' great arachnid currently residing in the shower room.  But I DON'T LOVE PLOD.

And, no, the lady does not protest too much.  I mean, what is there to like about a tortoise?
