Good morning Fellow Travellers around the Sun It's a little colder again this morning, but I am all warmed up from a very long cuddle session with Ziggy, who after being a nippy little grump last night, is now in a brilliant, happy mood again. This is the time when the hormones rage and my parrots, just like teenagers, can be moody little buggers. Unlike human teenagers they can't yell "I hate you!" and storm off, so they tend to bite you instead. The lady at World of Wings said she was more scared of handling parrots than birds of prey and I can understand why. The girls are moody anyway. Toby is his normal placid self at present. I heard him making his Clanger noises in the darkness this morning when I came downstairs - he's really funny

Getting ready for work again tomorrow and some crochet on the cards today.

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to

Good morning Fellow Travellers on the Galactic Spiral Arm I'm up with the parrots this morning again after a test run of going out for a bit yesterday. I was pooped soupy by evening again, but I made sure I went to bed really early and that seems to have helped. Just as well, as Madame Ziggy is being a bossy boots today , ordering me around all over the place , and then had the audacity to inform me that she is a "Good Boo Boo" Zigs only ever uses "Boo Boo" to refer to herself, and this because when I asked her "Are you my Baby, Baby?" she would respond with "I Boo Boo", and so "Boo Boo" she is

Another easy day on the cards. I have some fresh chop to make and then I'm planning to do some crochet, but only stuff that doesn't require too much concentration as it takes ages to get the old brain back in gear after an mefcs crash. Thinking is tiring!

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to

Good Moo everyone! I am finally back up with the parrots in an attempt to try to ease back into my normal routine and give poor Grant a break and a long lie as he's been running around like a dafty looking after me and the Crew since my recent mecfs crash. I may need to go back to bed in a bit, but for now I managed the spoons to clean and feed them all at least, and cuddle Ziggy of course I have so missed my morning Ziggy cuddles! And I think she has too, because she sat with me for ages, just tucked up under my chin, grumbling away to herself.

So another day of not doing much on the cards, frustrating, but necessary to recover. A new crochet order came in last night and I have the competition toy to work on, but I'll have to hold off for another day or two as much as my very essence is screaming at me to get on with it. And all of this due to a broken loo!

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to

Good morning everyone I have just woken up after another day of very low spoons yesterday. I've made an effort to come downstairs as I was missing my parrots. I actually had a dream in which I had gone shopping with Ziggy, who was being so very cute, and we met up with another lady and her boyfriend who were doing parrot displays. Later I found them both on stretchers after some kind of accident and tried to find sticky notes so I could give them my number in case they needed my help. And all the time Zigs was being adorable...so I definitely had to come and see her after that

Grant has been doing a good job of looking after me so he's on a well deserved birding walk this morning and a glorious day for it too. I do miss walking. With the river and the forest there are so many good walks around here. Today though, I will continue to take it very easy.

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to

The return of the sunbirds

For years, I was fortunate enough to watch sunbird couples hatch their chicks right at my balcony. They've returned this year.

Good morning Fellow Travellers on the Galactic Spiral Arm I'm up late today as Grant is going out on an RSBP work party and got up for the parrots, and a lovely day he has for it too. Coffee has been poured so now I'm settling in with the Crew to wake myself up and listen to some Classic FM Calm. After the initial excitement of morning greetings, Ziggy is back under her preening arch grumbling away and Jadie is playing with her toys, but Toby has started randomly screeching again so my visit may be cut short. Eclectus screaming before one is even awake is no fun!

Remember I had that dream about my toilet being broken? Well yesterday it did actually break. So now I do need to get a plumber out. Maybe I should also set up Madame Caz's tent with a crystal ball while I'm at it

More crochet today. Hoping to finish the Kids' Drawing Toy order.

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
