WICKED WINDS OF THE WEST...

Hello and good day to YOU all.

SHE and I are very busy...

I am keeping HER entertained by practising Bad Bat Behaviour, this is great game which involves ME hanging upside down off MY triangular perch in yumyum HQ, aka kitchen, trying to contact with any part of HER... heehee... I MURST say that SHE is almost as good at game as I am, SHE scored several points off ME today, note to self, must try harder.

SHE is starting off seeds at home, soaked to quicken up process, WE have trays of pots with strange leaves a'growing, they will turn into bean plants, WE eat lots of different varieties of beans, each year SHE lets some dry on the frame and uses them for next season.

Also growing are Cardoons... Oooh, how I LURVE them! BIG treat is a stem to nibble on, truly SCRUMMYDUMPTIOUS. I also like Lovage, SHE is generous and kind with what SHE feeds me, I doubt very much if many Parrots snack on Cardoons and Lovage.

The mood in our home is mixed today, on one hand SHE is very happy.. SHE spoke with
Debi-in-Sheffield and Debi sounded.. oh, so much happier! Norty pain gone away, she slept well and is planning to bathe, then go out and about on her new mobility scooter.

Everyone takes good health for granted.. one does not think of the act of getting in and out of bath, not until your spine goes 'mental' as Debi calls it and you can't lift your legs up over bath, let alone sit down or get up without assistance.

It is a day with all sorts of different types of weather.. cloud, sun, calm, wind.

On other hand SHE is very sad.. BAD news from America... of deadly Tornadoes.

YOU must have head in sand or be fast asleep if you haven't heard or seen what happened there yesterday. Those poor people, homes destroyed, lives lost. SHE emailed Moley yesterday, she lives in Arkansas, to ask her if she was ok, she replied that she has a so-called 'safe room' in the centre of her house, it has water, torches, fully charged cellphone, battery powered radio, some food and no exterior walls or windows so she would be safe from flying glass. SHE emailed Suzan this morning wanting to hear that she is ok.

We have them in England also but not to same degree as America.

SHE had one at garden in 2005. It was windy day so SHE left me at home and went off wearing weatherproof clothing. HER plots back onto an enormous acreage of open land, SHE was 'chewing the fat' with Irish Jo, when he said in horror "look" and coming straight towards them was twisting tornado, they hit ground, rolled under fat hedge and held on to posts.

The noise was horrendous, tornado hit back extension of Little Shed, twisted walls and wrenched entire roof off, this flew with wind and crashed less than a metre from where they were lying under hedge.

The power of these monstrous devils is awesome beyond belief, they hold no respect for brick, steel, they lift a truck up as if it were a Dinky toy. SHE is a gardener and knows about 'weather', truly these freaks of rain and wind are scary beyond belief.

HER heart is sad for all those families and SHE prays for safety of beloved friends.

GeeGee Parrot.
