LOST.. ONE SMALL PARROT TRAVEL CAGE.

We cannot find it, it's hiding somewhere which is annoying because, when the weather is filthy, she won't take me outside in the big travel cage as I get too cold.

BooHoo..  therefore I didn't get to have supper with Leigh, Ossie and Otto on Friday because it was bitterly cold and tipping down with rain.. again.

Her arrival without me caused Otto to become extremely confused, he looked at her head, no, I wasn't there, he looked in her basket, no, I wasn't there either. He then looked at the three humans as if to say "well, where's that bird, you know, the one that sits on her head" and they had to tell him that I hadn't come.

But last night I did get to go out, for we were asked to supper with Andreea and Juliano who live not very far away from us.

Juliano's a seriously good cook, his meats are always perfect and his vegetables delicious! And last night was no exception! I ate everything that I was given but wasn't given any of the chocolate pudding. Because chocolate is poisonous for me.

They're both Romanians and their Orthodox Easter is next weekend, yesterday was their Palm Sunday and we have been invited back next Sunday to eat a traditional Romanian Easter dinner!

Meanwhile, the weather for our Easter holiday has been disgusting, to put it politely!

It has rained every day for the past five days and heavy rained is forecasted again for Tuesday and Wednesday. Poor Richmond Park is waterlogged and the Deer Park is flooded.

Sheffield is covered with thick snow as is the rest of the country from the Midlands upwards but cross your fingers, we are due to have pleasant weather as from Thursday, we are not holding our breathe!

After these weeks of biting cold and wet weather, she'll believe it when she sees sunshine and she doesn't have to dress like the Michelin tyre man.

She sent Easter greetings to friends around the world. Jane, an old allotment friend, sent them back saying that she is in Palm Springs where the temperature is 96 degrees.

'Granny' Jo is in the Maldives.. lucky woman!

And Patsy, who lives in the foothills of San Luis Obispo, California, is busy gardening as she's had lots of rain, a wonderful gift as they've had a dreadful drought.

Joe's in Ottawa, we don't know what he is up to but "hey Jo, she's waiting for that pasta recipe!"
It's always 'interesting' to see who responds.. and returns greetings.. and who doesn't.

Now she's off to rustle up something hot for us to eat, the day is damp and dreary, the library is closed, luckily she came home on Saturday with a supply of reading matter, then she will try to find my small cage, it's 'loss' is truly mysterious as it 'lives' inside my big travel cage in our bedroom.. but it ain't there now!

PipPip..
