What we do for our pets

That's a great enclosure! And yes, turtles are escape artists :D

Back in the days when I studied at the Open University we did a Sherlock Holmes story and I was amazed at the mistakes Doyle left in. Like weather changes in the same scene or muddled up time lines. But the stories were super popular and he had to write them quickly to be published in the weekly issues, no time to care for such minor things!

The first 3 days or so Sunny would escape, then we'd find her. And additional security and repeat. It seems like she hasn't escaped in a couple of days so hopefully that means it's secure enough.

The foreword talked about how Watson is potentially an unreliable narrator where he envies Holmes (therefore he's super human) and everyone speaks positively of Watson. It also spoke about how Dolye tried to repeatedly kill/retire Holmes but kept having to bring him back. But I'd say I'm enjoying the stories.

Sunny has been sitting in the same spot all morning...probably plotting some scheme. I have to charge the camcorder's battery. Hopefully, she's not smart enough to escape while I'm not recording her!
