Slowly does it...

One of the most inoffensive creatures ever created!

I always feel that I am in good company with Tortoises.... :dance: ....!

..we are both very reluctant to go anywhere very quickly, which may account for our increased age.
We don't wear ourselves out unnecessarily... ;) ...trust me...!

Years ago, we always used to keep Tortoises in our gardens, and keep a careful eye on them during their Winter hibernation period....
...something else which I have in common with Tortoises!.... :D ...!

But nowadays their purchase is quite restricted....and they can be very expensive to purchase!

All our tortoises were always named; "Joey". but whether or not they responded to their name, I don't know?... :think: ...!

Give them a Lettuce leaf and they are happy!

Wonderful little creatures!...>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoise

...a bit like me... ;) ...!

An Aircraft Mechanic only needs two tools, Duct Tape and WD40.
If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.
