Upon waking this morning, she realised, quite sadly, that any egg boiling would have to be done by herself. I, of course, am spoilt. This is true and I will stick up both wings and admit to this with no pressure, for not even the cleverest parrot, Alex, was able to unscrew his seed or pellet jar nor open a tap to pour himself water. So my YumYum has always been provided for me.
She, however, as you know has been living the life of old Riley down in Wiltshire and been catered to THREE times a day. I won't say she'd forgotten how to boil an egg but when she woke up this morning, she thought about those soft boiled eggs 'produced on a plate in a proper egg-cup', picked up her telephone and rang the Jenner's to a. Thank them for having her to stay and b. Tell a tale of woe that there was nobody, but herself, to produce her night breaking fast.. aka breakfast.
It did, however, make Pete laugh!
She has stuff to do today, it involves a great deal of sorting out of papers.. not a favourite chore of hers but a job that has to be done on a regular basis, for you all know that two pieces of paper, unless kept far apart or filed, can and do rub together and make babies and I fear there are far too many paper-babies in our sitting room which bears absolutely NO resemblance to a pretty room.
And she has to get to her favourite middle eastern food shop to buy hummus, SRI LANKAN Cinnamon - which is NOT the same as Chinese Cinnamon, that is entirely a completely different species. Don't believe me.. check it out. The Sri Lankan cinnamon contains an extremely potent anti-viral ingredient which is what you need to fight dastardly bugs and keep you healthy. The Chinese variety does not.
So hummus, cinnamon, cloves, mint, essential oil of lemon and something else, the like of which which I cannot remember but which is on her list, have to be purchased.
Oh, yes, I remember, it's Goaty Milk but that will have to be done tomorrow or on Sunday, she'll go on-line to find out which Farmer's Markets Debbie Goaty mum is at this week end, there's no goaty milk in chilly white larder to drink or with which to make our kefir for the coming week.
Lots to do, so I'm heading for pole for a doze and she had better shake a leg, the left one as the right one is still a bit 'tender', and get a move on.. but before we go..
I will tell you who has 'got a move on' because someone put a rocket up their backside and that is the appointment's deptment at the eye hospital! There was an appointment letter waiting for her when she got back yesterday and the appointment is for a date not very far away.. somebody got roasted, that's for sure.
Chirp and before we forget.. hey-oop folks.. it's Pegeen's birthday on February 18th.. yippee, we like celebrating friend's birthdays, even if we aren't there to do it with them.
GeeGee Parrot.

PostScript: For Micha.. the 'thing' she bought in the Bric-a-brac Charity shop is a wizz!
