I hope the dear BO is ok

She left the box 9:48

At the exit

I'm hoping her face/facial disk was just wet and that was what made her look at little 'rough'. She did have a good shake before leaving the box

Some more snaps I took during her visit

Unfortunately, she didn't show her full face with both eyes looking into the cam

Well spotted Sandra, she certainly did look a bit rough round that closed right eye, hope she is OK!

Yes, I do hope so, Wendy...

There's been slight floor disturbance (unless it's a beetle) from the left side of the box

It's moved position - I hope it's not a tick?!

Has moved on quite a bit, took a couple of vids & played back fast so could see the movement ... very slow but looks as if some kind of shiny beetle judging by the light bouncing off it

Thanks Wendy!

See he's made progress, can see his legs splayed out ... very un- tick- like!

Doh!My view this morning...
