If You Live Where I Do You Have To Love Birds

I’ve told you already about where I live, and the fact that I love animals. But it’s not just animals.

The country is the best place to live and I’m happy to say it even if you live in a city. If you’ve read this before you’ll see I’ve already said that previously.

And I love birds too, and one of the best things about living in the country is the birds that you see around the place.

You just  won’t believe how many birds there are out here in the country, thousands. I get them sitting in the trees all around my place. They have very strong beaks and claws and they sit in my trees and pick off the seed pods with their strong claws and hold them with their claws and then break them open with their beaks to eat them.

Now I have to say that I like birds but I don’t really like the damage they do to all my trees. They break off so many little branches to get to the pods that under the tree looks like a wasteland. There’s bits of trees everywhere on the ground.

They’re parrots, and parrots have strong beaks so they can do all this to my trees. But on the plus side they have great looking colors and they look stunning. I get them sitting around the veranda that goes around my house, they sit on the railings and look at me inside the house. And I love to see them there so I sit really still and watch them. If I sit really still they don’t go away.

There’s so many benefits of having lots of birds around the house that you just have to put up with the damage they do to all your trees. I could just run out and frighten them away from the trees but I just put up with  it. (more…)

I’m Sad, My Weekend Is All Over Now

I should have written about it before but my weekend is all finished now.

It was just fantastic to get away, I need to get away more often, it’s good for me. But it was a little difficult starting quite so early. Too early for me I have to say. I ended up getting up at 5.

5 in the morning is too early for me. Way too early. At 5 am even the birds aren’t awake much. It is completely dark and feels like it’s about 3am. It’s pretty hard to get out of bed at that time, at least for me, though when you’ve got a weekend to go to it’s still worth getting up for. Something to get up for.

I had  to get going on time to meet some other people, so I picked up my friend. But it took quite a while to get all his stuff packed into our car, we were stuffing things into every space we could find, even on the back seat.

And what can you do about the weather? Raining. And for the last few months it’s been so nice, warm clear weather, just my luck that when I go away it’s  raining.

And when you’re camping the last thing you want is rain. Rain is the worst thing because when something gets really wet it’s wet for the whole time unless it gets warm again. Luckily the rain was pretty heavy but when we were putting up the tent it backed off a little. Some luck at least. And it was a long drive in the rain I have to say.

And most annoyingly when we were driving there there seemed to be all sorts of new speed limits to annoy me, and they did.

But even despite all this it was a great weekend. I did some good fishing and caught a fish and we had it for dinner which was nice. (more…)
