Trying to catch somebody who has escaped from his cage...
Snag is, now that he's tasted freedom, he's frantically trying to escape again. So I am typing this, sat on a stool by a cage, keeping a baby pigeon company.
I'm not joking either. I really am. If I stand up to go do something, the lil' guy starts squeaking and throwing himself at the cage bars...
I love all creatures (OK, apart from mosquitoes...) but orphaned baby pigeons seem to love human company!! Baby Woodpigeons less so and baby Collard Doves, not at all, but baby ferals? They'll run up your leg given half a chance...
I like the baby Jackdaws,Crows and Magpies, they are hilarious: always looking for a way to out-smart the humans. You can just see them sitting there thinking the whole time. Cheeky little oiks!!!
'Orphan Season' is just beginning to start, so for the next few months, my posts on a Thursday night/Friday morning will be one long squeeeeeeeeeee ... as I try not to get baby animal food and/or poo on my nice new iPad!!
Last night, we had fox cubs (squeeeeee!!!), a woodcock, a goose, hedgehogs, crows, a mouse and then, three newts came in. I don't think I've EVER seen a newt in-the-flesh. Soooooooo cute!!!
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I suppose I should get out of bed. Got hairdressers at 1, then taking my son to some indoor play place, then picking my mum up from work, then have Sally over for drinks again tonight. Since we patched things up I've seen her quite a lot, which is nice.
Spending all day rebraiding my hair, ugh. Still, will be a good opportunitity to catch up on the LatAm footage, I haven't really had time to watch anything properly yet
Watching all the LatAm videos i can find and singing loudly along to them Also considering some afternoon Zzzzzzzzzz's so i can stay up to watch\listen to tonight's show, I'm so excited anyone would think i was actually going to Chile myself.......Maybe if i start walking now i could get there in time??? Southend to Santiago shouldn't take too long surely???
