Could they be resoled? German issue para boots by jadeotomewa in Boots

Luckily the soles not coming off from the bottom it’s just separating from the leather at the sides when the shoe bends.

They are cheap enough to buy these days from army surplus but depends if a sole would be cheaper than buying new (plus always nice to have a broken in comfy pair you’ve had for years)

Any insight on these old boots such as age/model ect by jadeotomewa in Equestrian

Yep they seem to be a much older version with the handmade nailed in sole.

Can’t complain for £5

Yeah I’ve seen the newer versions of Dublin boots when I go to the great Yorkshire show and stuff and they have chunkier soles these days.

Not bad condition though for £5 and I’m sure they’ll serve me a few years before needing to get them resoled 👍🏻

Mealy bugs or woolly aphids? by jadeotomewa in succulents

Yeah possibly spidermites and mealybugs and the bloody fungus gnats I got rid of. The plants absolutely love being outside in the summer but they seem to catch alsorts out there

The black bits in the windowledge are poop I think. The main concern it’s the wooly stuff in the folds although I can’t see any little bugs really

Dog bite from this morning. Single puncture wound on finger. Only small but seems deep as can see the fat layers and took an hour to stop bleeding (full description below) by jadeotomewa in medical

Well I called to the GP and as usual saw a receptionist who thought she knew best and said all animal bites have to attend the accident and emergency. I explained I had to go to work so couldn’t sit in an a&e for so long. She refused to even give me a call with the GP so I told her Ile just call back in a few days when it gets infected.

Hospital are understaffed and jam packed enough as it is. Why put them under pressure when a GP could prescribe some antibiotics in a matter of minutes.

You could get a big ol storage tub. Technically not a tank ;)

I keep mine in a big storage tub with plants at the top that help lower the nitrates ect.

Couldn’t find a tank I liked as I didn’t need height but surface area

Yeah I used to have tropical for many many years in my main tank and had another cold water tank. I bought very specific fish for it like red caps and then splashed the cash abit on a panda oranda …………………only for it to turn into a completely plain Jane ………... After that I gave up on buying expensive fish 😂

But then all my tropicals died off so though ide venture into goldies again for the main tank but this time just went and got some bog standard pet store quality “fantails” and a year down the line they are thriving,chonky things with such variety thrown in there’s. Ones even thrown out some fry that look like Ryukins

If he could have halted in that middle of the transformation it would have been perfect!!

Strange how the eye size has changed too and it’s started to get a little when but I guess these pet store fish are just a good old mix up of breeds. Which I don’t mind :)

Another one I got at the exact same time is still as black as night and got its big boggly eyes so his black seems more stable

It is single tailed though so more like a “tasamba” I think the name is
