And in his place.. is Mister Rain.. sky is grey, streets are wet..
But fear not, Dear Readers, for SHE has gooved off from doing the ironing and is taking dictation from ME, huh-huh.. what more could YOU want than some tomfoolery from a small grey parrot?
Seeds are in the post to Rosamund, who sends reorts of Snowdrops in Germany.. oh, WE love a Snowdrop or two.. WE love Primroses too but WE don't have any. BUT, what WE do have growing quietly, both at home and at the plots.. Tra-la.. are..
LILIES OF THE VALLEY.. aka Muguet des Bois.
Now, that's a perfume for YOU! A BIG up-the-nose perfume!
At home they are growing in pots that are home to the two Cherry trees and a 'Joro' Rose. At the plots they are growing on the edge of the terrace and in the 'so-called' Rose bed.. I say so-called because the 'Autumn Gold' Raspberries - which are yellow - have snuck underneath the path and are growing in the long bed!
This morning, seeing as how it was drizzling, SHE was scratching top soil and putting some NPK fertiliser down when SHE noticed these tiny, tightly furled shoots, it took a second or two to actually remember what they are.. yeah!
Also, what got a bit of attention was Miss Mimosa bush, who has been in the hall just inside the front door since last November.
Poor Miss Mimosa, SHE said "sorry, out you go, don't moan, it is not that cold, those poor Oranges have been outside all winter, just think what an easy time you've had".
SHE got a package yesterday.. to do with ME.. Yes, Dear Readers, it is a book called 'THE HEALTHY BIRD COOKBOOK' and it is full of tasty recipes.. here are a few of their names..
Spicy-Hot Corn Muffins.. Pumpkin Seed Risotto.. Polly Tortillas..
Slurp-the Durp! Is YOUR mouth not watering at such titles?
There is much hubble-bubbling going on here, for as SHE writes, there is pot of Chicken bones on the stove making stock. YOU may remember that there was a grave crisis in YumYum HQ a short while ago, when SHE realised that oh.. no, there was NO chick-the-lick stock in stock!
Are YOU still there? No one ever said reading MY Blog was for the faint hearted, oh no, for YOU have to mentally fit and have good stomach muscles.
MY next Post is about NUTS but not MY nuts. Nope.. beaky is sealed, YOU have to wait until SHE writes it, in the meantime..
Stay happy and practise tomfoolery at every possible opportunity.. YOU never know when gloomy days, like this one here in deepest Knightsbridge, will be on YOUR doorstep.
GeeGee Parrot.
