UNAUTHORISED SLEEP-IN!

WELL.. Dear Readers.. Good morning to YOU all.. 

It is a chilly-billy morning here in deepest Knightsbridge, no, I have not put MY beak out to see what is happening, I can tell by the way SHE is dressed, with layers of thermal clothing and socks! 

I, of course, have thermal clothing - in the way of downy feathers - on all year round but normally they lie close to MY body, when I need to put the heat up a degree or two, I ask them to fluff up a bit to trap the air.. very clever things feathers! 

WE were sleeping in late today, SHE was full of fresh air from tramping about at the garden and WE had gone to bed late.. when suddenly landline telephone sprang into action.. tingaling tingaling, luckily SHE looked at the dial before pressing a button.. for it was the person who was so rude and unpleasant to HER last year.

SHE knows why the person is calling.. it is January and they are having the final phase of teeth implants and they want HER to do the collect from the dental surgery and over night stay again! 

HA HA.. WE think not, find someone else to do it.. Dear Reader, do YOU know the definition of insanity? It is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result.

On to much nicer things.. silly HER, was just about to bounce out to the Crochet and Knitting Class when SHE realised that SHE had neither wool nor pattern.. duh. So later today, armed with a good book for it is a long journey, SHE is off to Ridley Road Market.

No, NOT primarily to see lovely Leila at The Turkish Food Centre, but to Dalston Fabric Mill.. to see the equally lovely Carmen. They sell wonderful wool and needles and all sorts of things.. in fact, they are a PROPER haberdashery.. besides selling fantastic fabrics of every sort.

Talking of good books, SHE has just finished 'The Potter's Field' by ANDREA CAMILLERI.. oh.. go immediately, if not sooner, to get this from YOUR Library or buy it. SHE has read all of his books, YOU may have seen a couple that were made into films for television, his 'hero' is Inspector Montalbano, a Sicilan Policeman, this was, undoubtedly, one of his best novels. FUNNY. SHE was reading it yesterday on HER journey to the garden, a couple of people asked HER what SHE was reading as SHE had laughed out loud.

OH.. WE like a good book.

Now it is time to spread a wing or stretch a leg.. off to Dalston SHE must go.. pip pip Dear Readers but before I flap off, I have to say how touched SHE is / was by emails  and calls SHE has received.

Patsy wrote that "a jar of very special Apricot Jam is heading our 
way".. special because the Apricots were grown by her brother-in-law, WE LURVE Apricot Jam "THANK YOU PATSY", Rosamund from German wrote that she is not the Lone Reader in Australia as she is still in Germany, Pegeen wrote to say she was now up to date and had caught all the Tales from MY Tail "Thank YOU for the Christmas card" Pegeen, Karen - The Bird Watcher - wrote to say she enjoyed MY Blog, Diane WE are SO sorry that Blackberry did not send YOU that email, MaryLou "Thank YOU", Sam and Bob both of whom are in New York "Thank YOU both for your support".

And I pray for Long Legs every day. Bless YOU darling.

GeeGee Parrot.
