Cooler and showery. Nice.
I like themes for pet names. Your tortoises named after monarchs, my sister names her cats after Holy Roman Emperors – Charlemagne (Charlie), Maximilian (Max), Frederick (Freddie), and now Ferdinand (Ferdie). Hopefully Otto, Berengar and Lothair will all appear in due course.
Sorry I’ve not been around for a bit – I’ve had a major energy crash these last few days, so I’m not really compost mentis at the moment. 🙂
