Summer? Winter?

In the mornings when Mum has opened the curtains, it has been looking strange outside. It's looked really cloudy and rainy and weird. Isn't it supposed to be Summer? Isn't it supposed to be sunny and hot and pretty and stormy? not cloudy and wet and sleepy and ... yuk.

Mum has been looking out there too saying it looks strange. The piano sounds horrible; but it's the rain making it sound like that, well Mum says.

I'm even being left at home tomorrow - Christmas Day! - because it wiill be too wet to take me places. Well, at least I'll be nice and dry and warm. How good is that? And Mum said I can open my presents today! I can see them from where I sit in my cage in gold paper.I can smell millet in one, but don't know what the other is.

Hot Days.

It's been hot while the sun is out and Mum is out a lot too. Like yesterday. She was out almost all day with her blue thing on wheels; and when she got home, it was full of all kinds of things. The window was open and a nice wind came in all day. She had bought me something from a pet shop; but thought about taking it back. Mum said it smelt like a dog licked it. But while she was on the phone, she talked to a friend and then went and put some of my cuttlefish in the washing tubs with water and now they don't smell like a dog licked it anymore.

I wonder what she did to get rid of the smell? 

Today, Mum did a lot of washing and hanged it out on the line. She checked the post office and we got another card to put on piano.  And she wrapped more books in Christmas paper.

She was wrapping stuff last night too and putting them under the tree.  it looks all pretty now with the lights on at night.

The Sun!

It's been raining a lot for a long time.  But today, the sun was out and it was hot.  Mum opened the front window and a wind came in.  When she came back from the post office, she looked a bit sad.  Then, she showed me a pretty ornament with a bird on it; and got a bit sadder.  I think it was meant for another person but was sent to her instead. I wish I could do something to make her feel better.

But I like the ornament. It's red and the bird is white with its wing open and looks like it's flying. I hope Mum feels better soon and the sun stays here.

Early Christmas Presents

Yesterday, Mum went out to do some shopping.  She said she'd be home when she can.  When she left, it rained a lot and I was looking out at it while I munched on my millet.  I love millet.  I also at some of my seed; just so she is happy with me.

When she got home, she put a bag next to my cage and pulled out a white box with something inside it.  Mum was smiling as she pulled opened the box and there on a blue ball was my name in glitter!  Mum had bought me a cool Christmas ornament!  How fun is that?  She hung it in the tree so I can look at it all the time next some lights.  I like it a lot.

It's Christmas! it's wet!

Last weekend, Mum put the tree up.  First she took it outside in case she found a few things in it we both don't like.  When she came back in smiling, I knew it was going to be a fun day. Then, she put it up next to stereo!! Why did she have to put it up all the way over ther??? 

Okay, over the last few times I have had my home next to the weird-looking plastic tree, I've made out I hate it, but really I like it there because I have somewhere to put my flufy bum feathers. Now, I don't... but Mum figured that out when she put the tree up and down one side, she found my feathersfrom last year. So she took me out of the cage and put me on her shoulder to put the rest of the tree together. I liked it until she began geting too close... Then, I flew back to the cage.

The next day, it began to rain. Mum always knows how to make the rain happen.
