DID YOU MISS ME?

Oh.. Dear Readers, I do hope so as I surely have missed all of YOU! But at least it has given YOU all a chance to read ALL of MY posts on MY Blog!! 

I know.. WE have AWOL for two months, not entirely all MY fault, I hasten to add. SHE has been decidedly under several blankets of doom.. no, SHE has been very brave and unless YOU knew what had happened, YOU would not know anything was wrong.

YOU see.. there has been disgusting, sneaky work afoot.. as a result, SHE has been very blue, depressed and dreadfully sad because someone has been telling GROSS fibs, frankly, I hope that whoever it is that did so ends up with all sorts of very horrid AND EXTREMELY nasty things happening to them.. no more, MY ole beak is sealed.

Anyway, final straw is that SHE shattered a molar on her lower jaw! OUCH.. SHE is now on a weeks course of dreadfully strong antibiotics to kill an infection and then... SHE has to be very brave and have poor old tooth extracted.. I am so glad I don't have to go Dentists.. all I do to keep ole Beaky sharp and in good nip, whoops, that was a slip of Beak, meant condition, is to crunch MY way through stiff cardboard.

But on happier note, MY mama aka old dear had a birthday last Saturday! Seventh day of seventh month, SHE is a Witch, well, YOU knew that already, didn't YOU? And to cap it.. Granny Jo's latest grand-daughter was born on HER birthday at 00.12.. twelve minutes past midnight. THAT makes it a very easy date to remember!

What else has been a'going on? Well, not a lot I am afraid to report.. weather has been SO awful that SHE has been unable to cut very long grass at garden, beans all rotted in ground and there is not one cherry, pear or plum to be picked.. the winds blew baby fruit off the trees, only thing that was good, was Asparagus back in May... normally if SHE is blue or sad, a good 'dose of gardening' lightens mood in one afternoon.. not this 'summer', I am afraid.

NO fresh Goaty Milk in fridge.. SHE was unable to go to find Debbie of Ellie's Dairy on Sunday as norty old tooth broke on Sunday morning and SHE was in dreadful pain.. SHE experimented with neat Oil of Cloves.. wwhhhhoooo, it took pain away but woe betide YOU if it touches the inside of lip!

Have YOU all read on 'La Vie en Rose' Blog that Joanna and ole J-J are are living it up in Italy? They are having a wonderful time .. Joanna has figured out how to put pictures on HER blog... well, sometimes SHE isn't the most technically minded.. WE or rather YOU have yet to see any of ME but if YOU went onto Ellie's Dairy's blog YOU will find a couple, go back to December or early January and there I am.

SHE is going to Italy, to Roma to be precise, in September to stay with Zaira.. she, Dear Reader, is probably MY greatest FAN!

No kidding.. We have a photograph, well, WE have several photographs of ME with Zaira, the best one though is of ME standing on her head.. the look of happiness on Zaira's face HAS to seen to be believed! Daft woman, she jurst adored Dagga-the-Parrot and so when SHE wrote that I was 'the new kid in town', she came to stay with US bringing Marie-Therese, who allowed ME to take dreadful liberties with her.. they are an amazing pair, they are Romans, first cousins, such NICE women.

Anyway, SHE has been invited to go to stay with Zaira for a week.. sigh, this means I will have to go to dreaded Aviary but it has to happen, MY poor old mum has not been anywhere 'nice' for four years.. yes, I know WE went to Sheffield to stay with Debi and WE are going back again later this month but I meant somewhere sunny and warm, poor old dear, SHE does love sunshine and hasn't seen any for SO long.

But SHE does have something to look forward to, apart from this trip to Roma.. cousin Bruce is coming to stay in October and the two of them are going to go Ancestor House Hunting.. they know exact locations of where Ambrose Hooper and his father lived, Ambrose was THEIR Great Grandfather, Matthew Slade Hooper was THEIR Great, Great Grandfather.. Pirie Shiel's London house is a no brainer, it was # 3 Burlington Gradens, London W1, but it still needs to be photographed. Pirie was THEIR Great Grandfather on the maternal side, he was Frederick Edmet Hooper's father in law.

Second Cousin Alex Hooper, son of cousin Graham, has put a lock on his family tree research, silly boy! WE bet he doesn't have all the information WE have.. about Matthew being in Constantinople with all the family or Jane Barker Hooper going to Melbourne! Or about William DeMattos starting Hooper Holmes and who Dorothea was! Hahahaa... foodle the doodle to him.

Anyway, SHE has to put this sad stuff behind HER and think of happier things.. I hate it when people are evil and gossip.. suffice to say that 'people who live in glass house should be careful and not throw stones'..

It is time for HER to go and take that antibiotic pill.. WE do apologise for not writing for such a long time and WE hope that all of YOU are well wherever YOU maybe..

WE said a prayer this morning for that village in Russia.. what a ghastly thing to have happened, even more dreadful and absolutely scandalous when it appears that the authorities knew about the leak before the mud, sludge and water hit the village and caused deaths of the animals and hundreds of poor villagers.

WE hope that all of YOU and your families are safe? Please stay that way..

GeeGee Parrot.
