Good morning everyone
I've been reading each day but get side tracked before I reply
KM I'm so sorry to read about Mr KM. Sending positive thoughts and hugs from the hawke's bay
Olive, I'm sorry to hear about mr olive also, and I hope everything goes as well as it can
Honey, love your week 4 legged friends, she has awesome colours
Mica, your trip sounds great, and wow that's quite a bit of time to shave off
Roma, sorry to hear about the change in circumstances but great it doesn't rain for school drop off and fingers crossed it doesn't start until after pick up lol
Popeye, happy painting today, your bird picture you posted was awesome.
We've had a busy few weeks, miss is off to school camp tomorrow until Friday. I'm looking forward to the peace and quiet but also hoping she has a great time. She's only just in the last year started staying a night away from home so 3 nights will be interesting for her but an awesome experience. They are off to lake ranch in Rotorua
We have had blardy warm windy weather here in the bay
Hoping for the forecast rain this arvo and tomorrow, everything is so dry
Right morning tea break is over so batter get back to work
Have a great Monday everyone

Tatty looks very like a cat I had years ago, a black tortoiseshell who used to somehow appear from nowhere if i was upset about something...still miss that cat.
Raining here now, Madame le Cat has come indoors. She disapproves of rain & when I was out grabbing washing she decided it was time to come in too. Looks like just a shower & hope it stops before the compulsory walk after lunch...she said hopefully.

LOVE the photos, GJW, especiallly that lone feather on the dog.
BTW, I was reminded this morning that its 50 years since Dame Whina Cooper led the land march! Where the hell did the time go???!
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
Oh GJW I would have a cockatoo in a flash if I could accord one lol.. Maybe I could scrap the Aussie tip and get a bird lol.
But I also know they love for a very long time too.
We certainly show a House isn't a home until there is another creature within. I couldn't imagine not having a pet. Which is I my trip time will be short and sweet.. Mind you we had a budgie that used to travel with us. he would scream the house down, well the car if I didn't put the seatbelt on the cage..
He used to sense when we were getting closer to Taranaki, it was like he knew we were nearly home.
I've done some painting, and did some red for a change. It has really brightened it up. I still have some black to do but all the colours are coming.
I dont usually come online this time of the day but I figure now I should check my emails before the end of the day for Hospitals.
Zoe, those pics are great, the white dog has the most beautiful soulful face, you would just want to hug him, the tan lad looks like he could be quite a character.
Popeye Charlie is forty, I went into a little petshop along Mt Eden Road, my magpie had died and they had baby ones for sale, needless to say I came out with Charlie, cannot remember what he cost, but it could not have been to much, because I never had very much money, you have to watch him like a hawk when he is loose, it is OK if he is playing with the dogs, but by himself he is very destructive, he is noisy and takes instant dislike to some people others he is a big sook with.

Wow such a good age.. That's what would stop me from getting one. Cos I would want a young trainable one.
Our first canary was 14 when he passed away. Mr.P loved canaries, Im afraid I like trainable birds.
An older gentleman we knew had a Cockatoo, man he was the rowdiest Bird I have ever seen. and messy, but most birds are messy lol.. I dont know what happened to Jack now tho. his owner was in his 90s at the time.
Edit to add my brother in laws Cockatiel is Charlie.. Im ashamed to say i was talking to them on the weekend and I forgot to ask after him.
