Oh Lordy! Most African Grey Parrots don't have to put up with the level of eccentricity that I live with, that's for sure. Take today for example. It started well with delicious YumYum being served at an early, but not too early, hour.
Then it was off to the bathroom to splish and splosh about with hot water and that strange thing that she waves about in her mouth, I think it's called a toothbrush. As I only have one top and one bottom tooth that make up Beaky, I am not in need of this weird thing.
Then she was off out. Where to? Who knew!
But when she came back she looked very different! Cut + colour and a scary yellow, the jacket, not her hair! When I raised more than one eyebrow at the sight of this monster, she laughed and said "You've forgotten my big old yellow jacket GeeGee, the first time we ever met I was wearing it, don't you remember?"
And she was right.. it was her sailing jacket, well this isn't such a smart thing, that's for sure. This came from the supply store where all the road and gas engineers get their water and weather proof clothing from in Streatham.
This is absolutely 'glow-in-the-dark-yellow' and that's exactly why she has bought it, because it is very silly to be out in the weather that she goes out in and trying to cross main busy roads with a dark Barbour jacket. Because you are invisible to drivers driving in filthy weather conditions, well, she won't be invisible now, that's for sure!
What else is news? Not a lot to report, the postal elves have delivered two little packages to folks in Illinois and we have received charming emails, so we thank you MaryLou and Pegeen, like we thanked Patsy and BUB.
That hole in the ground which the numpties filled in on Monday is slowly starting to dry out.. good thing we don't have to sit and watch it, that's for sure! For it would be much slower than watching paint dry!
Ah well, it will all be done, not this year but some time. She is not about to spend the Christmas holidays dragging trunks and firniture around, no sirree. It will be done in January on a dull day when the mood takes her! As for now, we are bound for her bed and my night cage. She has stuff to do quite early and so much as I would like to stay up late and chew the fat with her, it ain't going to happen.
PipPip folks.. PipPip.
GeeGee Parrot.
