OUR boy has a wife! She is a paler grey than Little Dove and she has a mottled back with the classic two stripes on her wings.
SHE was planting out more Narcissi bulbs this morning, when whoosh, OUR boy zoomed past HER ear and just as SHE was about to stand up, another wing whizzed past HER right ear?
He strutted up to HER feet and did a little twirl, as if to say, "I thought it was about time the two of YOU met".
He is very 'tame' and will come to HER hand but Little Miss, as is her new name, of course, is not and stood back, looking up in amazement, as he allowed HER to pick him up so SHE could look at his foot.
He will eat out of HER hand but SHE does not expect her to do that, so a little 'something' was put down which they both ate.
Then he showed her the large saucer underneath a pot which always has water in it, they drank and whoosh, off they went.
SHE finished doing the Narcissi, tidied up, grabbed old Wheelie, HER shopping list and set off for Streatham. Trundle trundle, something was seriously amiss with the traffic as it took a long time.
But eventually SHE was in Bartek, tasting such scrummy deliciousnesses as.. the Pork Rolls with Fresh Cream of Horseradish in Aspic.. SLURP..
SHE has never ever seen these pretty and very delectable things before.
There was a fresh barrel of Sauerkraut, a new delivery of Spelt Bread from the Lithuanian bakery, this is out of this world tasty bread and goes exceedingly well with the Smoked Royal Cheese which WE love.
And the Salted Pork Fat was in stock! Two bigs chunks please, one for US and one for Tereza.
Along the road to get Seed Potatoes to plant in a couple of weeks, they are chitting already, which is good and looked to be in good condition.
SHE also picked up three sets of hard plastic bamboo couplers, YOU use them to fix together the supports of french and runner beans, they are also excellent if YOU have tall flowering plants that need staking.
Several tins of Plum tomatoes completed the shopping and then SHE got onto the bus.. which literally crawled along, the traffic was backed up and no one knew why, until they came down the Northcote Road and there at the crossroads.
Oh dear.. a horrid accident had happened in Clapham, the air ambulance had flown in and landed in St.Mark's park, there were lots and lots of police in evidence.
Poor people.. how dreadful, one minute they are doing whatever and the next.. gulp. There was a silence on the bus as all the passengers probably thought the same thing.
Early bed tonight, SHE has to get up at Sparrows ...., which is very early for HER, to take a small person to school. I have had MY grapes and have almonds in MY bowl, all is well.
SHE has a busy day tomorrow, dentist again, then work, I will doze and dream of sunny summer days and Cherry tomatoes, I just lurve those pretty little yellow things and they bounce really well if YOU drop them off OUR very high bed!
GeeGee Parrot.
