How long will it take us to get to 10,000 posts?

[Long Lashes]

I plan to take her there tomorrow. The weather is warm enough, no frost from here on out. Like so many of my plants she has a story and the outdoors will do her good. I'll share a photo of her during this move.

I hope the journey went well and that Streetie settles in happily, I'm sure she will as she enjoys being outside. Happy holiday Streetie!

I went to a city that week named Carlisle hence the same. I know you have a Carlisle too.

This is interesting to hear, I like knowing how she got her name. Yes, we do have a Carlisle here too, I've been there (its not too far away) and its in a beautiful part of the UK.

I have noticed Carly is starting to perk-up from her dehydration. She, like so many looks so sad when I received her.

She's going to love living with you

BTW, my Tippecanoe and Maizie are blooming!

Spoiler

Tippy showed her colours as this beautiful reddish-orange colour while Maizie is a white orchid. I had though Maizie was a pinkie but she is full of surprises. I've been so overjoyed seeing these orchids bloom over the past week. It almost brings me to tears to see them return from poor states and to bloom again.

How beautiful they both are, they're stunning! and how healthy they both look.

Tippy is so glamourous with that unusual colour, wow, I bet that was a surprise to you when she bloomed and Maizie looks so clean and fresh, just perfect. Thank you for letting us see Michelle, they are fab! just fab!

Please let us know how they grow. Are they large sunflowers or minis?

The free seeds are dwarf Sunflowers and I also bought some seeds which will (if they grow) be full sized Sunflowers. This is the year of the Sunflower in the LL garden .. hopefully. If they do grow I will show you their photos.

Yes! Now the question is what colour attire will you be wearing? Orange or black & white strips?

or grey in my case.

Black and white for me please. I've never suited orange and I like wearing stripes

You may appeal the verdict but you could get an even harsher sentence and May is a nice month for doing hard labour. Think of it this way, the added exercise breaking rocks will only make your Enforcer self even stronger.

I'm looking for the positives.

No I wont appeal my sentence, I'm looking forward to spending so much time outside and getting myself even more toned and tanned.

Do I get to wear protective gloves? its just that I have such delicate soft hands and those rocks are rough and dirty

Did you experience any side effects?

Yes I did. I was aching all over and had a banging headache and I never get headaches, luckily it only lasted for 24hrs and then I felt fine again.

I go for my second jab next week.

Hope all goes well for you.

Let's hope the nurse isn't so touchy with my hotness.

:floor::floor:

Yes, it looks like this.

Oh I see.

Mine looks like this ..

I hope Hope pulls through. My Mother's failing poinsettias seems to be near death but some sun and warm weather seem to have helped. Hope has been though alot!

Thank you. So far she is still with us, in her own unique way

Who will pull the weeds when you are doing hard labour at the TT Quarry? I hope that family of weeds don't see you breaking rocks or else they may laugh.

I might get evil and buy some ... weed killer! :eck:

BTW, how as your weather been?

A couple of weeks ago we had warm sunny weather and spent lots of time outdoors, I sorted out my winter clothes and put them away ... and then everything changed and now we are back to having frost in the mornings, rain and cold winds, we even put the heating back on yesterday. The weather is always so erratic here.

You are so lucky having warm, frost free weather

 

[Long Lashes]

Let's keep this thread moving!

We now only have ...

more posts to do, in 26 days :hats:

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Eagle Chat​

Wow, they look massive here! That's a great shot Michelle, look how wet Lipstick is and her eaglets look as though they're bowing down to her

I do worry about them not having much room in that nest in case one of them accidently gets knocked over the edge. Maybe, one of them could go and keep Fluff company in his nest? I'm sure Liberty and Freedom would make good foster parents

Lol, that is a good idea. Poor Fluff must be lonely at times. At least Soap and Chat has each other.

He was at it again earlier and Liberty couldn't have looked less impressed ..Lol

Great shot of Fluff in action. He'll be ready to fly soon.

I saw them all together this morning.

This happens to me too, especially with Curly, Larry and Mo, they always seem to be either preening or sleeping, this was them early this morning. A pile of eaglets

Sleepy eagles. Got this bunch together as well.

I have another daft question and its rather delicate. Its only recently that I've noticed how white the branches are in Guy and Lipsticks nest, is the whiteness what I think it is?

What do you think it is? I want to make you say it. I believe it's a Poplar tree that they are in and that's the bark.

Granted some of it is what you think it is.

Aww poor Turtle .

Fluff was a bit naughty yesterday, Liberty flew in and landed in the nest (with no food) and Fluff was pecking at her feet, she kept moving away and he followed her and carried on pecking ... ouch! I bet it hurt. In the end she quickly flew off. Naughty Fluff

Very entitled indeed. Fluff doesn't know how lucky he is to have all the food to himself unlike Larry, Moe and Curly.

I bet that distance would be no problem for an eagle as large as Guy/Freedom, I'm even more suspicious now :laughing:

:floor:

I wonder what had caught their attention here ...

I do feel a bit for Fluff being an only one, but then, I suppose he must be used to often being alone.

Fluff has grown so much faster than when we watched in 2019 with Soap and Chat. I believe Soap was knocked out of the nest in late June of that year before returning a few days later and didn't abandon that nest until August or so.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

At last!

Does this mean you agree that I am the supreme hottest? :danc:

I never doubted your hotness but it's not in my apex level of hotness.

Oh pfft! thats just a minor detail

 

[Michelle Stevens]

I hope the journey went well and that Streetie settles in happily, I'm sure she will as she enjoys being outside. Happy holiday Streetie!

Streetie is now at my Mother's home but Ieft her indoors as it has been chilly and didn't want to shock her after her move. I miss not seeing her in my window. I hope to change her soil to she has a fresh start to the summer. No summer of neglect and street noise for her this year.

This is interesting to hear, I like knowing how she got her name. Yes, we do have a Carlisle here too, I've been there (its not too far away) and its in a beautiful part of the UK.

No doubt our Carlisle is named after yours as if most of the cases from colonial past. I have no doubt your Carlisle is very lovely indeed.

She's going to love living with you

I hope so. She has begun to show signs of improvement as her leaves are not drooping. It's a process and I hope all goes well. I expect it to. It's just a shame she never attracted anyone with her blooms. She'll be special here in my family of Orchids.

How beautiful they both are, they're stunning! and how healthy they both look.

Tippy is so glamourous with that unusual colour, wow, I bet that was a surprise to you when she bloomed and Maizie looks so clean and fresh, just perfect. Thank you for letting us see Michelle, they are fab! just fab!

Thank you! I'm can't believe Tippy's colours. So unusual and welcomed. What a treat indeed. She kept that secret until the day the bloom opened.

On Maizies blooms there are tiny little drops of moister or nectar that look like tears. Maybe they are tears of happiness for being alive after almost dying from neglect last summer at the store I bought her from (Lowe's). I'm just so happy to see this day with these orchids.

The free seeds are dwarf Sunflowers and I also bought some seeds which will (if they grow) be full sized Sunflowers. This is the year of the Sunflower in the LL garden .. hopefully. If they do grow I will show you their photos.

Indeed it will be the Sunflower year at the LL garden. I do look forward in seeing how they develop. If all goes well will you collect their seeds for next year?

Black and white for me please. I've never suited orange and I like wearing stripes

Very good, at least the Budgie judge gave you that option. :shy6:

No I wont appeal my sentence, I'm looking forward to spending so much time outside and getting myself even more toned and tanned.

That is a good way to look at it. Will you require more time off of the TT Cafe as you perform you sentence or can you work in the evenings after your day in the TT Stone Quarry?

Do I get to wear protective gloves? its just that I have such delicate soft hands and those rocks are rough and dirty

I would think so. It's not as if you are pounding rocks with your bare hands. I can buy you a set of gloves if you'd like. Come to think if it I make need to make sure they are expandable if the Enforcer is summoned. I get the suspicion that the Enforcer will be very pleased with you added strength gains during this month of hard labour. I just hope she don't appear during the duration of you carrying out the sentence.

Yes I did. I was aching all over and had a banging headache and I never get headaches, luckily it only lasted for 24hrs and then I felt fine again.

Oh my! I have heard that this is common. Many people I know have has similar side-effects as well. I just hope your next jab is less troublesome. Could you take medicine for your headache?

Hope all goes well for you.



:floor::floor:

We shall see!

Oh I see.

Mine looks like this ..

Okay, similar to ours I see.

Thank you. So far she is still with us, in her own unique way

Just give her as much warm sun as she can get. My Mother's remain two looked all but dead until she put them out in her garden and during a warm spell last week they started to sprout leaf buds. Hope may look bad but she may have the internal energy just ready to be tapped by the sun, warmth, and some moist soil. I'm really hoping Hope turns the page and starts a recovery for you. At least you have not tossed her out after her first decline as many would. The can be resilient. ray:

I might get evil and buy some ... weed killer! :eck:

LOL, keep that information away from the Budgie's.

A couple of weeks ago we had warm sunny weather and spent lots of time outdoors, I sorted out my winter clothes and put them away ... and then everything changed and now we are back to having frost in the mornings, rain and cold winds, we even put the heating back on yesterday. The weather is always so erratic here.

You are so lucky having warm, frost free weather

It's similar here as well. As soon as we prepare for warmer weather we get a cold stretch of weather. I've had the air conditioning and heat on in the same week. I think we are frost free from now until October or so . We've had a lot of rain too.

Eagle Chat​

Poor Fluff must be lonely at times. At least Soap and Chat has each other.

He looked very lonely yesterday in the rain ..

He stood like this for at least half an hour. Maybe, he's turned into a moody teenager?

I saw them all together this morning.

That's a lovely sight , I cant seem to catch these families all together and just look at lazy Fluff still being fed .. Lol!

Got this bunch together as well.

This is such a busy nest, I m still shocked at how fast the eaglets grow. Have you noticed that one of these three has slightly lighter feathers than the other two? I wonder if its Curly who was initially so tiny?


Here are the three, please note the alien eyes

They also put on a "trying-to-fly" display this morning ..

^^^ this one is more advanced and has much wider wings than his sibling below...

cute legs!

What do you think it is? I want to make you say it.

Snow

I believe it's a Poplar tree that they are in and that's the bark.

Thank you for this info Michelle, I didn't know it was a Poplar tree.

Granted some of it is what you think it is.

Fluff has grown so much faster than when we watched in 2019 with Soap and Chat.

Yes, I think so too, he's massive

I believe Soap was knocked out of the nest in late June of that year before returning a few days later and didn't abandon that nest until August or so.

Heck, you have a good memory Michelle.

Even though he was older, Soap seemed much smaller than Fluff when he got knocked out of the nest. I still remember how upsetting that was , as I thought Soap was a gonner. How happy we were to know he was on a branch lower down being watched over by Liberty and Freedom and then, the relief when he got back to the nest.

 

[Long Lashes]

Streetie is now at my Mother's home but Ieft her indoors as it has been chilly and didn't want to shock her after her move. I miss not seeing her in my window. I hope to change her soil to she has a fresh start to the summer. No summer of neglect and street noise for her this year.

She is obviously being so well looked after. How great she must feel after being ignored on the street all year.

Thank you! I'm can't believe Tippy's colours. So unusual and welcomed. What a treat indeed. She kept that secret until the day the bloom opened.

Her colour is stunning and she must've wanted to surprise you. I don't recall ever seeing an Orchid with that colour, do you see her colour as .. burnt orange? Tippy is very unique

On Maizies blooms there are tiny little drops of moister or nectar that look like tears. Maybe they are tears of happiness for being alive after almost dying from neglect last summer at the store I bought her from

Aw, I'm sure they must be tears of joy :love5:

I'm just so happy to see this day with these orchids.

Yaay! your happiness is infectious

Indeed it will be the Sunflower year at the LL garden. I do look forward in seeing how they develop. If all goes well will you collect their seeds for next year?

Yes, if they do grow (fingers crossed..lol) the plan is to keep the seeds, unless the birds get to them first.

Will you require more time off of the TT Cafe as you perform you sentence or can you work in the evenings after your day in the TT Stone Quarry?

Oh no, no, no I'm going to be far too tired after working at the Quarry to work evenings in the TT café.
You could ask the budgies to help if you get stuck :laughing:

I can buy you a set of gloves if you'd like. Come to think if it I make need to make sure they are expandable if the Enforcer is summoned.

You're too kind :ty: ... My biggest fear is the budgies being too bossy, because that could make the Enforcer erupt!

I just hope she don't appear during the duration of you carrying out the sentence.

Omg, I don't want to be on the front page of Budgie-News

Many people I know have has similar side-effects as well. I just hope your next jab is less troublesome.

Thank you, I'm having my second jab this Saturday.

Could you take medicine for your headache?

Yes, paracetamol was recommended to take after the jab, so the doctor obviously knew side-affects were likely.

Just give her as much warm sun as she can get. My Mother's remain two looked all but dead until she put them out in her garden and during a warm spell last week they started to sprout leaf buds. Hope may look bad but she may have the internal energy just ready to be tapped by the sun, warmth, and some moist soil. I'm really hoping Hope turns the page and starts a recovery for you. At least you have not tossed her out after her first decline as many would. The can be resilient.

Plants are sooo very unpredictable, so glad your Mothers plants sprang back into life again and once again, many thanks for your tips and encouragement. Trying to save Hope has become a real team effort als:

It's similar here as well. As soon as we prepare for warmer weather we get a cold stretch of weather. I've had the air conditioning and heat on in the same week. I think we are frost free from now until October or so . We've had a lot of rain too.

I'm surprised because I thought your weather was more settled than ours. Today we have had rain, rain, rain.

Indeed, I wonder who that is? They are all different if we look at them often. At least they have been fed very well and the siblings didn't really hurt each other.

Here are the three, please note the alien eyes

LOL, I love the alien eyed eagles. :floor:

They are indeed active.

cute legs!

Such long legs too.

Got this shot today. More wing flapping.

Snow

Thank you for this info Michelle, I didn't know it was a Poplar tree.

It's getting leaves if you look closely.

Heck, you have a good memory Michelle.

Even though he was older, Soap seemed much smaller than Fluff when he got knocked out of the nest. I still remember how upsetting that was , as I thought Soap was a gonner. How happy we were to know he was on a branch lower down being watched over by Liberty and Freedom and then, the relief when he got back to the nest.

Indeed. Fluff has a better chance being by himself this year. I wonder when he'll make the move to fly. Surely weeks away, June at the earliest I would guess.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

She is obviously being so well looked after. How great she must feel after being ignored on the street all year.

Here is an image of Streetie from Sunday.

Spoiler

I have asked to keep her indoors until it gets a little warmer. Unlike my others, she still has her red leaves.

Her colour is stunning and she must've wanted to surprise you. I don't recall ever seeing an Orchid with that colour, do you see her colour as .. burnt orange? Tippy is very unique

Burnt Orange sounds about right. :bravo1: It fits with her burnt leaves from her time in the store of from her previous owner. Tippy is a real joy.

Aw, I'm sure they must be tears of joy :love5:

Maizie is so special too. She looks so poor when I got her and to see her now is such a joy. It brings tears to my gorgeous eyes.

Yes, if they do grow (fingers crossed..lol) the plan is to keep the seeds, unless the birds get to them first.

True, the birds do love sunflower seeds. Do you have finches in your area? Our finches are big sunflower seed eaters.

Oh no, no, no I'm going to be far too tired after working at the Quarry to work evenings in the TT café.
You could ask the budgies to help if you get stuck :laughing:

I'll just ask Bunny Heather to work more. I hope you have a single cell in the TT Jail. Take it from Michelle it's easier to sleep alone in jail without loud snoring or fights. Michelle made sure the inmates knew who was dominate very quickly during my brief incarceration.

You're too kind :ty: ... My biggest fear is the budgies being too bossy, because that could make the Enforcer erupt!

Oh, no! I didn't think of that. Just try to stay happy. We wouldn't want a lash-out to occur at the TT Stone Quarry.

Omg, I don't want to be on the front page of Budgie-News

LOL, your snail massacre has already put you into the pages. :fp:

Thank you, I'm having my second jab this Saturday.

Very goo news indeed. I hope it all goes well.

I got my second jab a few hours ago.

Yes, the nurses insisted on putting two band-aids on my well toned and hot deltoids. More chances to 'cop a feel' of hotness. Pfft!

Yes, paracetamol was recommended to take after the jab, so the doctor obviously knew side-affects were likely.

I hope all goes well this time. I'm just wait to see if I get any side effects this time.

Plants are sooo very unpredictable, so glad your Mothers plants sprang back into life again and once again, many thanks for your tips and encouragement. Trying to save Hope has become a real team effort als:

Let's hope Hope decides to live. 2021 is worth living for.

My Mother's poinsettias had no leaves but still some green on the stems and I suggested giving them sun as a last hope and it's worked thus far. I'll share photos soon.

I'm surprised because I thought your weather was more settled than ours. Today we have had rain, rain, rain.

It's been cooler here this week with some rain. A little warmer next week but everything is green. May is one of the most lovely months here.

Is your rain over this week?

At least they have been fed very well and the siblings didn't really hurt each other.

I am so glad that the bashing one of them was doing whilst they were all tiny stopped, I didn't like watching that.


Here they are having a bit of an argy-bargy from the other day ...

but at least it looks a fair fight now they're of equal size, anyway they soon made up

It's getting leaves if you look closely.

Isn't it great to the surrounding areas at both nests springing into life? I'm glad they've come through all the snow and frost.

Here is Fluff discovering the second camera ..

Keep your feet and beak off that camera Fluff! We don't want you copying your older sibling SOAP and destroying it

Fluff has a better chance being by himself this year. I wonder when he'll make the move to fly. Surely weeks away, June at the earliest I would guess.

I think Fluff will be the first to fly do you? he was born ... sorry, I mean he hatched slightly earlier than the other three, plus he must have more food and also the space to practise.



Here is Freedom teaching Fluff some life lessons ..

"see son, this is how to build a nest. Just move the sticks around like this .. "

Not sure who is feeding who here ...

Meanwhile, Curly, Larry and Mo were queuing for the morning bus

Got this shot today. More wing flapping.

Fantastic! they haven't much room for flapping, but they're still giving it a go. It must feel wonderful to discover that they can almost fly.


I believe I can fly ..

I believe I can touch the sky ...

Spread my wings and fly away ...

I believe I can soar ..

Wish I could fly :laughing:

Here is an image of Streetie from Sunday.

I have asked to keep her indoors until it gets a little warmer. Unlike my others, she still has her red leaves.

How weird, I keep pressing the SPOILER and nothing is happening? ... it must be me, I have a new laptop so maybe I'm doing something wrong?

EDIT - what's happening I can see it now ... I blame the gremlins, they're messing with my head :fist:

Anyway, Streetie looks absolutely glorious , she has so many leaves! she looks wonderful, thanks for letting us see Michelle.

Unlike my others, she still has her red leaves.

Wow does she? She is an amazing plant.

Tippy is a real joy.

She is beautiful, I'm glad your enjoying her, Id love to have an Orchid the same colour.

I now have Orchid envy

Maizie is so special too. She looks so poor when I got her and to see her now is such a joy.

Maizie is a real trooper to have pulled through, although she had the expert "plant whisperer" caring for her and she deserves her own chapter in your book.

Do you have finches in your area? Our finches are big sunflower seed eaters.

Yes, we do, but not very often. We get more sparrows, robins, blue-tits and blackbirds than anything, which I think all enjoy sunflower seeds. Also, Bees (which I like) and butterflies like Sunflowers too ..

Now I just need to successfully grow some, wish me luck Has your Mother ever grown Sunflowers Michelle?

I'll just ask Bunny Heather to work more.

You must be desperate ... sorry Bunny, I love you really.

I hope you have a single cell in the TT Jail. Take it from Michelle it's easier to sleep alone in jail without loud snoring or fights.

OMG! do I need to sleep over? I thought it was just a day-jail :eck:

Michelle made sure the inmates knew who was dominate very quickly during my brief incarceration.

Y I forgot you'd been inside too, what was the food like and do they have hairdryers? Maybe, I should show my fellow prisoners The Enforcer so they leave me alone

LOL, your snail massacre has already put you into the pages.

I have a ruined reputation in Budgie -world :fp:

I got my second jab a few hours ago.

This is so good to hear, I can give you a hug again ... :hb:

Great scene from this angle. What a face.

I think Fluff will be the first to fly do you? he was born ... sorry, I mean he hatched slightly earlier than the other three, plus he must have more food and also the space to practise.

Agreed, Fluff is older and with no siblings, larger and should be able to fly sooner.

Here is Freedom teaching Fluff some life lessons ..

:bravo1: Great image!

Not sure who is feeding who here ...

Wouldn't that be something if Fluff was feeding Freedom or Liberty?

LOL, I get this too while watching them. They are interested in the world beyond the nest.

Fantastic! they haven't much room for flapping, but they're still giving it a go. It must feel wonderful to discover that they can almost fly.

I look this photo of Streetie in the gentle rain yesterday.

Spoiler

She is in my Mother's garden in this image. The first rain she has felt since last October.

I'm sure she'll be dropping leaves soon. She is in her own time zone when it comes to leaves. My other Poinsettias are all green.

Wow does she? She is an amazing plant.

She is. I just hope she approves of the move to the outdoors this Summer.

Should I even ask about Hope?

She is beautiful, I'm glad your enjoying her, Id love to have an Orchid the same colour.

I now have Orchid envy

What is that, hotness envy ..... oh Orchid envy. Tippie now has five blooms with a sixth on the way. What a surprise indeed. Now I have Phoebe who is in bud and I am clueless to her colours. I bought her in January when she had no blooms. She has green wax on her stem what has be curious if she was injected with food dye for a bloom colour.

Maizie is a real trooper to have pulled through, although she had the expert "plant whisperer" caring for her and she deserves her own chapter in your book.

She does indeed. I was concerned that she would die when I first got her. She has about five white blooms now.

Yes, we do, but not very often. We get more sparrows, robins, blue-tits and blackbirds than anything, which I think all enjoy sunflower seeds. Also, Bees (which I like) and butterflies like Sunflowers too ..

Now I just need to successfully grow some, wish me luck Has your Mother ever grown Sunflowers Michelle?

Yes she has but she isn't as fond of them as I. I'll have to ask way as I forgot.

Do you have any birdhouses in your garden?

You must be desperate ... sorry Bunny, I love you really.

OMG! do I need to sleep over? I thought it was just a day-jail :eck:

You didn't read-over your sentencing orders? You sleep at the jail. I hope you have a single cell.

Y I forgot you'd been inside too, what was the food like and do they have hairdryers? Maybe, I should show my fellow prisoners The Enforcer so they leave me alone

Food was not too good but they had a hairdryer if you could fight well. Make sure your fingernails are sharp, you'll need them.

You could reveal your secret for the whole jail to see! No doubt the Enforcer would break out and cause you more mischief.

My only hope is that you don't get into a fight and that triggers an unwanted lash-out. If you are outnumbered though you may have no other options.

I have a ruined reputation in Budgie -world :fp:

Hopefully when you complete you sentence they will forgive and forget.

This is so good to hear, I can give you a hug again ... :hb:

I got my second jab this morning and so far I'm okay.

Good to hear. Did you have any side-effects if I may ask? I got some chills that night which is unusual as I am so hot. I also got a headache but all was well the following evening.

that's so clever! ..... you even have a plaster/band aid on your not so hot arm :Clol: it would make a great poster to encourage others to get vaccinated.

'Lashes jealous of my hot, toned arms again. Yes it would be a great poster that will make doubters ease their concerns.

No :hair: ... but thank you for asking..Lol!

Oh no! Is it dry in the Land of Long Lashes yet?

​

I get this too while watching them. They are interested in the world beyond the nest.

You're right, they all do a lot of looking out beyond the nest yearning to go ...

they're all entranced by the surrounding wildlife and want to join in ...

OMG, they are all so eager to use those wings.

I find its early morning when I see them trying to fly the most ...

Have you noticed that feet are now starting to leave the ground a bit when they flap their wings? Also, I thought it was snowing the other morning as one of them was flapping because tiny white fluffy feathers were going everywhere



They had a foggy start the other morning ...

I wonder which of the three will be the first to make it to the "branch"

Oh wow! how joyous she looks, she is such a grateful and happy plant thanks for showing us Michelle.

She is in her own time zone when it comes to leaves.

She seems to be quite an independent plant doesn't she, I mean, she just does her own thing.
I'm still in awe that she survived for almost a year outside and neglected. She's such a trooper

Should I even ask about Hope?

She doesn't look good I'm afraid, she is just about alive thanks for asking though.

What is that, hotness envy ..... oh Orchid envy.

no, not hotness envy, ever!

Now I have Phoebe who is in bud and I am clueless to her colours. I bought her in January when she had no blooms. She has green wax on her stem what has be curious if she was injected with food dye for a bloom colour.

How exciting all this sounds, please let me know when she reveals her colour.

Do you have any birdhouses in your garden?

Yes, we have two, which have never been used. Those birds are so ungrateful, two brand new boxes with perches on the outside of the doorways and they've never shown any interest :bang: ... Lol!

I think birds like to do their own thing and for some reason they avoid our bird boxes .. at least the boxes look decorative in the garden and at least they love our bird bath.

Hi there BH

.. you're needed urgently in the TT café because I will be away for a week or so

You didn't read-over your sentencing orders?

No I didn't , I was so distraught that I just skimmed through it :fp:

You sleep at the jail. I hope you have a single cell.

Ooo heck! I hope its not noisy in there. Do you know if they use Egyptian Cotton sheets on the beds? ... I cant sleep on anything else.

Food was not too good but they had a hairdryer if you could fight well. Make sure your fingernails are sharp, you'll need them.

OMG! it sounds horrendous

You could reveal your secret for the whole jail to see! No doubt the Enforcer would break out and cause you more mischief.

My only hope is that you don't get into a fight and that triggers an unwanted lash-out. If you are outnumbered though you may have no other options.

This experience is going to be a challenge for both me and the Enforcer .... I hope we come through unscathed and are not scarred for life

Hopefully when you complete you sentence they will forgive and forget.

:laughing: ... are budgies the forgiving type and do they have short memories?

Did you have any side-effects if I may ask?

Yes, but only slight this time. About 12 hours after the jab my head started banging and my eyes felt tired, but after a good nights sleep I was fine again.

I got some chills that night which is unusual as I am so hot. I also got a headache but all was well the following evening.

Sorry to hear this, it sounds like you were the same as I was after my first jab. Glad you soon recovered.

which is unusual as I am so hot.

Oye! I saw that!

'Lashes jealous of my hot, toned arms again.

No, no,no!

... I am never jealous, jealousy is definitely not hot.

Although, I still want you to chop off those sun kissed golden locks, not because I'm jealous or anything, but you would suit a short ... very, very short cut and a mousey dye... that's all

Oh no! Is it dry in the Land of Long Lashes yet?

Yes! :hats: ... mostly dry these last couple of days, hurray! How about you, are you scorching yet?
