New things

Well, the new year is here. Mum bought me millet spray and more cuttle bone for Christmas; and then couldn't take me out on Christmas Day because it was too wet.  I didn't mind, it was nice to stay home and watch the rain fall outside and hear the whild birdies sing and screechand fly around the place.  I sang back, but don't know if they heard me.

Well, the rain has been coming and going. And there is  lots of floods everywhere. Lots of people have had their houses flooded up the coast and it's horrible to see on the television.  Mum wonders if the rain will stop long enough for them to get back to normal. I just hope we don't get flooded like that.

Happy Budgie New Year.

It's very late and Mum doesn't know I'm on here, but I haven't told you that our New Year Eve night wasn't fun... well, all we did was sit and watch some vampire show on dvd.  And I didn't mean to be rude, but I fell asleep at 9pm.  Mum was bored too... but she stayed awake until midnight and gave me a cuddle and listened to the fireworks in the distance.

At least she made some sweet popcorn, read a little and got to sleep in the next day because the noisy next door neighbours didn't come home until lunch time. It was raining and hot, but it was an okay first day of the new year I guess.  So, Happy Budgie New Year!  May all your seed be fresh and your millet be yummy!

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.

I'm Famous!

Well, that's what Mum says. She has made a bookcrossing sticker out one my many photos and it's for sale on the cite where she socielises. I'm happy I guess but I'm wondering which photo she used.  I think it's the one you see here; yeah, she says it is.

Now, I think that's cute!

My Eye!

My eye is sore. I've been scratching around and getting dander off me and I scratched my right eye, now it hurts. Yestaday, I had it closed for along time. Mum got a big plastic thing and washed it out. I hated that but it felt better.

Today,I can open it, but it still feels a bit sore. I hope it gets better soon.

Mum looked up what can happen to my eyes in the budgie book she has about me and isn't worried enough to take me to Greencross Vet. She's good to me and has been giving me lots of cuddles so I feel better.

Halloween!

Last night was Haloween and Mum dressed up for it.  But she has been preparing for days for this. She bought two big pumpkins, put them on the fridge, then didn't eat them! But then, she cut the top off one and pulled out gooey smelly stuff that got all over her and the kitchen and into a bucket.  She carved big holes in the side and a creepy face; then did the same to the other one. 

Yestaday afternoon she got dressed up, put on heavy make-up and put the pumpkins outside with candles in them. She hung a big white thing on the door and had things hanging off the window too. Mum came up to me before dressing up and gave me a long cuddle and then came to me again hoping I wuldn't run like I did last year. But no mattar what she looks like I know her voice and her eyes. I snuggled against her cheek and she was happy that I knew her. After that, we watched a movie she called The Rokky Horra Picta Show. A man in it was wearing women's unwear and make up with heels and it looked old; but Mum loved it.

Well, I better get back as my feet are getting sore, and I'm getting cold again. My cage it covered in my Winter Covers again... when will Summer come? Mum's making sure I'm warm because it feels so cold.
