Don't speak too soon. I wrote a nice reply yesterday but hit the worng button, "Save draft!" the only way l could get to send it was to copy the draft and paste it in my reply, glad you got it all right. I really love it when Billie samples all her bowls. I was decluttering and thought l would throw out the old Parrots but l read some interesting articles and decided eo keep them all instead l am throwing out 25 years of Organ magazines. There is bad news. The box marked too small which is now marked too big has extra for company those too small are now too biG! Another pet hate is those people who burn weeds they smell! The weeds not the people although l don't knopw perhaps they both smell another neighbour burns eggs shells and they stink. I am now 38" waist and i cannot possibly wear 46"+ so they have to go to Age Conceern, although the 44" won't be far behind. I saw Emma with a pink cat box and she has been very quiet all day.

Oh dear!! I hope she hasn't got a cat!, there will be tears before bedtime!, I had a neighbour here once, who got a kitten, and the stench of ammonia where it was doing it's business everywhere in her flat was revolting!, the HA made her get rid of it. Weeds or weed?, I like the smell of woodsmoke when people burn garden waste, but if you're talking cannabis, or skunk, which is fresh cannabis instead of resin, that's absolutely revolting. It's worse than cigarette smoke. I never throw magazines away, Parrot goes to the RSPCA shop, and Pagan Dawn, and Pentacle go to my daughter. You Have done Extremely well to lose all those inches!, goodness! How Did you manage it?, you must have lost more than a stone. It's been a cloudy chilly day here, but my roses are a bright splash of colour.

I think l have dropped a boo boo l unsubscribed from "Introduce yourself" and l think that meant the whole site l was sick and tired of deleting notifications, also l reported the notifications as junk mail but if l miss your email pm me, the gossip is that Emma found a cat. We have had a lot of drama here, a police car has been parked outside my flat for over an hour and an ambulance arrived under blue and has parked up for 30 minutes the crew went into a neighbours house. A man left on crutches his leg bandaged and another neighbour came back with her leg bandaged, l can see all from my flat the windows over look the car park. I was 18 and a half stone and dropped down to 12 3/4 stone and was 52 " waist and now 38, all by weighing everything and counting the calories, l try and keep the count to below 1400, l also walk round the local park every day. I tarted the diet in June last year and reckon losing 2 ounces a week. The neighbour before Emma was Clair she was given her marching orders because she stabbed he boyfriend but she had a short hold tenancy, there was four of them her daughter (20) and boyfriend and Claire and her boyfriend but her daughter had a cat which they put out through the LR windows at all hours. Claire's boyfriend woke me up once at 4 am wanting to know if l could change a £5 note as he wanted to make a phone call. I was so shocked l gave him 50p. Weeds from the garden, although Emma smokes Cannabis, l leanrt a long timne ago to block all holes that might let smells in and if l keep my windows closed then l do not have to smoke it as well.

Well! As Sanjay would say "ooh! I say!" "oo'er missus!", we are both curtain twitchers, it adds a bit of excitement when plod is in the road.
That Is a great deal of weight, I am awestruck!, I have Crown Imperials in my garden, beautiful stately, stunning spring flowers, said to smell "foxy", they smell of cannabis!, but they keep pests away, especially the neighbours cats, so that, and their beauty make putting up with the "foxy" smell worthwhile.
The cheque from Allianz turned up today, I shall pay it in tomorrow, and when it has cleared, I shall draw it out and pop it into an envelope on one side, Nick the decorator has promised to set a date this week,
Typical bank holiday, they have forecast rain this weekend, me and Sanjay don't care, we aren't planning to go anywhere!

There is a very nice and helpful pcso who emails me his support re Emma, its quiet at the moment. A nice sunny evening,
Billie lasted out until 4.30 pm but as she and l had such a bad night its early to bed for both of us. Especially as a l retaliated by turning my hifi on very loud it is 430 watts and playing was a punk band all morning from 7 am and l added to that by playing my organ 150 watts at half volume nearly deafened me, to add insult to injury l slammed the doors every song. However l relented when l heard Emma moving around at 11.30. "What comes around goes around!" Billie has been very friendly today hardly allowing me out of sight before flying to my shoulder, She had a lovely shower in the bathroom and then did some skinny dipping in her bowl splashing me and the organ. I read in Parrots that cooked food not mushy they like and Billie certainly does she prefers the cooked swede but carrot goes down well but not cooked brocoli. I don't blame her.

I love broccoli, Sanjay likes it raw, also cauli, but won't touch carrot or Swede in any way shape or form. He quite likes butternut squash raw.
My daughters dog has been destroyed, he made an unprovoked attack on her, and bit through her hand and wrist, it could so easily have been one of the children, once a dog Crosses the boundary, there is no other option.
I went shopping today, it was glorious out, stocked up on seedy bars etc, and paid the cheque into the bank. Himself was very glad to see me, and anxious to know if I had remembered his bits. Thankfully I have a peaceful existence, but the fly in the ointment is the idiot above me, and his couldn't care less attitude to the problems he causes with his negligence. I am so worried, that once the ceiling is done, he will flood his kitchen or bathroom again, sigh,

What about the landlord should he pay? Sorry to hear about your daughter's dog will she get another? What led up to the assault? Billie and I had a lovely day today. After playing my organ loudly l thought it would wake the dead, afterwards l deceided to do some cooking and opened the kitchen window but Billie was getting very agitated so l let her sit on my shoulder and she helped me peel the onions, I eased a bit of skin loose and let her grab it and she pulled it off, l got these goose pimples on the back opf my neck and when l turned around l saw the window was wide open, Phew!
I shut it double quick. She did not want me to go for a walk but by ducking l was able to get out of the room without her she let off a despairing yell, but when l got back she pretended she was not interested until it was biscuit time, and then she was eager to get her bit/ She lasted until 5 pm before asking to be covered. There is always someone who ruins it for others. My Next door neighbour a very nice black man told me yesterday that her had been burgled some one had hit his door with a small hammer and broke the wood surrounding the lock and was able to enter, Emma was making so much noise l did not hear a thing. My front door has two mortice locks, a chain, and two bolts the lady who the flat before me was worried some one would break in, by the way l made 15 portions of stew that should last for awhile.

My daughters dog had been off his food for several days, and we suspected there was a female in season nearby, my daughter put a bowl of food down and simply made encouraging noises, and he flew out and bit her hand, and hung on!, could have been sexual aggression, then, shortly before he was taken to the vet, he lashed out at Isabel, years ago, a friend had a really friendly doberman, he was great with other dogs too, but he changed in a heartbeat, started lashing out, then one morning they found he had torn their tea towel to shreds, they were really nonplussed by this. I suggested he was in pain, but they laughed it off, no way, he was just fine, a few days later they got up and found him dead, blood pouring from eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth, he'd had a brain tumour and it had ruptured.
My daughter isn't planning to get another dog until the children are older. The guy upstairs was supposed to get his insurance company to pay, but he hasn't got insurance, the HA don't get involved in these things.
I have got a dead lock and two chains on my flat door, better safe than sorry, but my door is an old fashioned fire door, several inches thick and extremely heavy!.
Thank goodness you realised the window was open before Billie did!, makes me glad Sanjay doesn't shoulder ride into other rooms with me. I like stew, but at the moment I'm enjoying salad.

I get terrible constipation from salad partly because l do not like olive oil, just got back from my afternoon walk and Emma had her sound up very loud she saw me as l came back in and turned the volume down, and then off. That's consideration! We had a dog a mongrel and when l was 14 it was off its food so l go down on my knees to show Sandy how to eat his dinner I ignored the growling and got bitten on the lip the hospital put two stiches in. Billie has just thrown out her yellow toy and wants me to pay her some attention so l write some more on my computer this evening.
Pets!

You don't Have to put olive oil on your salad. I cook with olive oil, but I have my salad without dressing it. Funnily enough, my next door neighbour chatted to me about pets, just yesterday evening when I was pottering in the garden, his name is William, but he talks in a high falsetto voice and wears a hairband, odd sort of guy, not gaudy (***) and not a cross dresser, just effeminate, when he /she told me about his/her prostate problems once, I was stunned into silence, because after a few minutes talking, you tend to forget William is actually male, hey ho.
It takes all kinds..........

I have just had a big fight to get rid of a program that took over my browser "pdfconverterHQ by MyWay, it susposedly came from Mozilla Firefox but l hated it and much prefered "MSN UK.com.

Funny enough l had a next door neighbour like yours not high pitch but a cross dresser he once went to Ladies day at Cheltenham wearing false breasts high heels and a big ladies hat, I grew quite fond of him but he was &ay and would say "Love you my way!! But l am not &ay. We used to tour the charity shops and he would pass me off as his sugar daddy and when we were about to leave l would call out "Come along Mother!", Alchohol got the better of him and he died in Winson Green prison of a heart attack. He was a showman, the sort you see at fairs he once told me he had spent £100,000 in three yrears so l asked him "Where does a gypsy get that sort of money?" He replied "Stole it!" I miss him even 8 years later he was 6 years younger than me, and because he was arrested so many times for drink driving l drove him all over the West Midlands about 28,000 miles in one year.

Billie has been adorable today she wanted to sit on my shoulder even when l went to the loo, we sat and watched the tv together, she wa smaking little grunting noises with her eyes closed but when l turned to look at her she kissed me on the lips. Billie did not want to go for a walk this afternoon l managed to slip out when she did nopt notice and when l got back Emma was playing her stuff loudly, she saw me come and turned the volume down and 0 minutes later turned it off. That is consideration!

Billie can be a real sweet heart, but like Sanjay, (and most other parrots) she can be fickle at times. When they're adorable, they really are adorable. Lidl do packs of soft figs, and Sanjay loves them, today I alternated them with slices of apple on his fruit skewer, and it is looking very sparse!. I don't drive, daddi gave me one lesson, but he shouted at me, so I said No More!, I couldn't afford to nowadays anyway. If my decorating gets done in time, I might go on a day excursion to Hampton Court /river cruise in July, I absolutely Love Hampton Court, ever since I was little. Another red sky, that's what we like to see!

I was in the middle of writing a big reply to you and all of a sudden Whoosh it disappeared! It is not in drafts or any where l do hate that. Now l shall have to remember what l wrote. If Sanjay lays an egg then all doubts will disappear but if not then hold onto his male ness. Billie has been adoroable again today but she is very reluctant to let me leave and when l got back from my walk she sat one my shoulder and played the trumpet voluntary as a welcome home. Her moult is going on slowly and she enjoyed a shower in the bath room this morning. She is eating well a slice of bananna had a few bites, she tucks into the whole pomegranite l hung up she likes it ripe, also a pear quarter she enyoys, she loves her morning apple bowl but goes to town on the afternoon apple bowl which has apples, grapes and fat free yohgurt. In the morning she has segements of oranges and she squeezes these and gulps down the juice, she also gets some corn cob besides some brocoli stalk but is not keen on the heads. She also enjoys cooked carrot and swede and sugar snap peas as also the vegeatable bowl all in all she is a good eater.

Sanjay can eat for England! I think broccoli stalks are sweeter, he loves a corn cob too.We've had another miserable wet day, sigh, I hope they don't impose a hosepipe ban if we get a hot dry summer!, not that it affects me, because I am disabled I am exempt, and allowed to use my hosepipe. There's been much to "ooh! I say" over, a neighbour died in December, and they're only just clearing his house, there have been two big vans outside for two days! And you thought You had clutter!. This guy got a sweet little retired greyhound called "Peggy" from the Retired Greyhound Trust only last year, then got a mysterious pain in his lower back, obviously more serious than he thought. He was only 73.
Enough of this morbid talk!.
Sanjays body language is definitely female, but she didn't start displaying until 2013,at about 3 yrs of age. It was a disappointment at first, after that woman was so adamant about her being a DNA sexed male, and it has taken some mental adjustment on my part, but even if she was contact able, and offered to exchange for a male, I would refuse, I have too much love and history invested in that little warm fluffy person.

Maybe Sanjay is AC/DC ? As l said an egg wil confirm it, Billie can count l give three little pieces of a water biscuit but she only got two today as they were bigger, you should have heard the shindig she put up when the third piece did not materialize! She also knows the time she waits until 5 pm and then lets me know she is ready to be covered and just to make her point stick she is sitting on her sleeping perch as the first cover goes on. It is the same in the shower she knows when l have cut the itme short so I had to let her have two showers today, she insisted on flying to my shoulder and as we walked passed the bathroom door she craned her neck and grunted, so l had to give in and let her have another shower. We have had sunshine today it was very warm in the sun but the wind is still cold. Do you get Parrots news letter? Sponsored by Northern Parrots? It was all bout the show "Think Parrots!" We had a neighbour who had a pain in his back and his friends rubbed winter green on his back but one day he went into hospital and they diagnozed Stomach cancer and her was dead in two weeks. He had a dog called Winston, it howled the place down after the old man had died they offered me £100 to take the dog but l live up stairs, however another neighbour with a bitch took Winston but he was too old to be a nuisance, at least Winston had happy years to the end of his life. Billie has started to throw other things out of her cage after it lands on the floor she sqwarks to let me know she expect me to throw it back in!!

Sanjay won't lay, the cage is too spacious, and not conducive to laying. He followed me into the kitchen today, but it's a new kitchen from the last time he was in there, so having realised his old perch places had gone, he sat on the top ledge of the window watching me, unfortunately he couldn't find his way back to the sitting room, so I employed a gentle hand towel and carried him in, he was fine, and started eating straight away.
We had a cot death back in the day, an eight month old daughter, and the dog we had howled non stop, they howl to call their family together, so they obviously Know when someone has died, anyway, once her body had been removed, he stopped howling. We haven't seen sun nor warmth for days!, but it's supposed to get a bit warmer at the weekend, hopefully!

A bit cloudy this morning but sunny after lunch but still a cold wind blowing. If Sanjay wants to lay then Sanjay will lay. Quite warm in Brum, 75 in here with Dyson cool running on 4 and over head fan it sets up a nice breeze but l do not allow Billie in here when the fan is on. I shall have to drag out the A/c soon. Do you have a clothes horse that Sanjay could sit on in the bathroom? Billie has had two showers today, she is still moulting and is very itchy. The rose water helps.
Just up graded my Lumia 8.1 phone to Windows 10. Billie has been adorable again today.

Generally speaking, animals won't breed unless the conditions are right, there is no suitable place. It's been chilly again here, I've had the heating on now for several days.
Firstly, I don't have a bathroom per se, I have a wet room, and no, I don't need a clothes horse, as I have a washer/dryer. I won't risk allowing Sanjay out of the sitting room, whilst he can't find his way back, it's way too stressful. We are supposed to get warmer weather this weekend, I do hope so, as I have things to do in my wee garden.

It was terrible last night all l can do I look forward to the time when she has gone, l phoned 101 at 2 am and my very friendly PCSO chap came this morning he said l should record the times Emma smokes Cannabis as it is now illegal and the police might take action, and he said l should have phoned 101 earlier as tEmma and Co were dinking outside and that is a public nuisance, But there is not a lot they can do, but he thought Emma had two months notice, which makes it the end of June, Hooray!!!! She was out this morning in her dressing gown calling her cat which must have escaped but l have no idea if she got it back, she only had it last week. And to think l asked her if l fell ill would she look after Billie!!

Billie has decided she likes bananna, but the jury is out on soft figs. And Billie has hardly let me out of her sight without flying to my shoulder and when she won't get off l threaten heer with the big stick and then wave it at her she gets off with a big look of reproach.

Poor you!, cannabis is "now" illegal?, it has Always been illegal, it's not that plod can't do much as Won't do much!.
Well, when we got up this morning, the UN elected chairman of the Residents Assoc and his assorted flunkies were meddling in the HA next door house front garden, so I went and meddled, demanding to know what they were doing, given that the tenant has such severe psychiatric problems he wouldn't maintain it. So the bigwigs wife started getting uppity, saying the HA had given permission etc, to which I replied "they don't actually Live here", it transpired the HA had also demanded plans!, anyway, they concocted a "raised" bed from some nasty looking wood, filled it with compost and planted it up with NON Hardy plants, so whose going to replace them in autumn?, not I!, then, they arrogantly assumed the HA would lay slate or bark on the ground surrounding it, Coo! Said I "you'll be lucky!" I had to buy my own garden bench because they're penniless!. This self appointed twit and wife are retired PE teachers with too much time on their hands, they used to drive daddi mad with their constant meddling and patronising attitude, it will be funny when the tenant sees it tho', if something is different, he stands and stares at it for hours, trying to figure it out!
Sanjay isn't keen on 'nana's, and he wanted to go to bed half an hour earlier today, I think he got woken up early by those numpties.

Poor Sanjay it won't do his sex change any good all that worry. Billie and I had a wonderful nights sleep l slept 10 hours with only two wake up calls to check the plumbing. As soon as Billie hears me come in she climbs down to a lower perch to protect her door. It was very hot today and this afternoon she was yawning so I joined in and yawned with her. This morning we were trying to set up a morse code connection she taps the cage 4 times, l tap the table 4 times then she taps three times and l do like wise then she stops so l tap three times and she copies me! This morning Emma threatened me by saying that when her daughter comes to live with her (pipe dream) if l call the police then they will sort me out it would be funny if it weren't for the fact that she has stabbed at least two men who did not complain. I emailed my HAO. Billie lasted out until 5.30 pm tonight, l hope we get a good nights sleep l dragged the A/c out of its nice snug hidey hole and checked it still works, it makes the dickens of a noise and does not reduce the temp below 64f
but on a hot muggy night that is worth the nosie. My HA are short of money too their office in Hockly has closed down and they moved to Small Heath which is rather funny because when l first became a tenant with them in Small Heath I punched a man whoe picked a fight with me he was drunk so it was easy but the HA mopved me to the other side of the city where they could keep and eye on me.

We had a man like that he got himself elcted our rep and when he was sober once in a blue moon he he was a very nice man, got two flowering cherry trees plants to remember past residents who died but he made the neighbour at the end of our drive cut down two large horse cheshnut trees which gave very welcome shade in the summer. he made our HA cut down a beautiful lime tree, which also provided shade in the summer. Officious twit, He got his come uppance when he and two friemnds started a small business together and he was elected treasureer and then drank all the money he was not seen for two weeks, but when he came out they duffed him up/ To be continued.

Part two.

You might be interested in how "Come Uppance" came into venacular. In the days when the King made the law, the town councils came to him to complain that they could not bury paupers because the grave diggers charged the earth for digging a hole, they would charge for the hole and then charge for the Earth as well! The King ruled it should be Two pence. The slang for two pence is tuppance and when some one dies it is Kingdom Come so when some one gets their come uppance it means when die they get a two penny funeral!

The other thing of note is that a paddy would duff some one up for £20 but since we joined the EC the price has gone out of the roof and it now costs £200 to duff up a paddy!

Wicked I shall get defrocked if l am not more careful.

Part Three

Some of my best friends are Paddy's

How many best friends do l have?

None!

No wonder.

There's me!, my family were /are Ulster Scots (paddies rather than micks), but if someone tried to duff me up I'd set Sanjay on them!.
What an unpleasant creature Emma is!, her kids have probably already been adopted elsewhere, besides, she needs to be hanging curtains in a bus shelter.
It was warm here today but by no means hot, but that's high ceilings for you. I was watching a programme about Windsor Castle earlier, they showed the trees lining the approach, and I nearly fell off my chair, there was a very handsome Male Ringneck sitting on a branch!.
My late mother in law had a very splendid Ginger Tom called "Tuppence", he lived to a very venerable age. We had a beautiful laburnum tree in the back garden, but the idiot we had for a gardener decided to cut it back at the wrong time of year, and it died, he was replaced with a colour blind gardener, oy vey! So now we have proper gardeners.

Don't you know l am an Internet Troll, nothing like a bit of contention to stir up some of those people we never hear about any more! What happens to old members is it true they fade away? Plugged in the old Air Condition and it has managed to get the temp down to 72f, shall keep it running so l can get a good night sleep that is if madam downstairs does not disturb the peace, she was smoking Canabis lunch time but all her windows are shut now l think she is sunbathing in the park last year she over did it and came back very red.
Tomorrow is shopping day must get some more parrot sticks Billie is chomping through them at one a day, she now likes bananna but the fig is untouched, she is still shedding feathers but nothing like the geese in the park I wonder where they get their calcium from?
At last the sun has gone behind a tree and we shall have shade for the rest of the evening, last year Billie and l sat out in the shade of a tree but l picked up a touch if skin cancer and as Billie now has the UV light there is no need to go out.
We are bereft of a gardener the last one quit, but as we pay a big service charge they really ought to have a gardener.
Its freezing in here l shall to put on a jumper. Nearly the summer soltice and the shortest day, roll on winter.

The Summer Solstice (Litha) is the Longest day, but by no means "mid" summer, goodness knows where That myth began!.
I haven't heard you're a "troll", certainly the nicest one I've come across. I bought Sanjays seedy bars from Wilko today, he eats one a day, too! And a Millet panicle. A friend of mine had a small cancerous skin lesion removed from her arm last year, successfully, but she was very scared. It was tropical today, but my flat stays cool at the moment, west facing kitchen and sitting room, east facing bedroom and north facing wet room, South facing rooms are a nightmare in a hot summer.
No smelly cannabis, or worse "skunk" here these days, even though my crown imperials "foxy" odour might make you think different. How are you voting in the referendum?, I'm for Out, the millions we pay to stay in could go to our own needs, like the NHS or Armed Forces.

Yes we have no eggs today, how is sweetie? I accidentally bought a canary stick in Wilko today Billie hates honey! And l bought some parrot mix with sunflower seeds in it Billie loves it, The summer soltice marks the turning point from the longest day and so could be called mid summer! Perhaps Mid year might be better. Billie accepted the name change l tried calling her Bella the other day but from the blank look she gave me it did not register with her. My LR and BR face East so we get the setting sun, the Kitch faces east and it is nice to see the rising sun but we have a lot of trees behind us. For how long did you hang a whole pomegranite? Billie picks at eat she prefers ripe fruit, And form no on o won't begrudge her a parrot stick a day,

Lylelette says she will serve notice on Emma tomorrw, l have no idea what that entails but sparks will flow!

I am an outer too, l was born on Empire day, which in the 70s became Commonwealth day but now is just May 24th!!!! It would be nice to see Commonwealth citizens welcome again in this country. The Government are pretty scared the vote will go against them so they come up with these scare stories, even if majority vote out it won't happen over night and again if there is no majority to leave with a General Electin coming up in two years time there will be another chance to elect a government that will take us out.

I keep voting UKIP, but that last election was fixed, definitely fixed. I change fruit and veg every day, and seed every couple of days, he gets Wilko parrot mix, Canary mix, and the Parakeet and Cockatiel mix, I think all the seedy bars contain honey, it's what glues the nuts and seeds together. We have a very loud thunderstorm going on, it started at approx 17.00 hrs, to think, I watered the garden yesterday evening!.
I hope the lady keeps her word, and I hope you get a more considerate neighbour. Goodness, this forum is not very active is it?, where are all the familiar names these days?,

Hibernating, no rain here but a cool wind has started, so maybe it wont be long. We had a spate of spam on Introduce yourself maybe that put the regulars off but we soldier on. Billie's pomegranate has been hanging up for over two weeks and she still picks at it, l change the corncob every day because there nothing left. She quite likes mushy pear but the half I hung today has not been touched, maybe it is not ripe enough! Also the banana has not been touched and needs to be riper. She has had 3 showers today as it is so hot. The polls are showing neck and neck if the stay lot don't bother to vote a fore gone conclusion we are out, but as said with a general election coming up in two years time the then the exit will win. Have to go and get out biscuit she counts the bits l give her and tells when the cunt is short. #I fell asleep at the end of the news and let me now it was lunch time, mine not hers.

Goodness! you left the I out of "count"!, it's ok, tho', I'm an ex squaddie.
It's very warm today, but lovely and cool indoors, the storm passed, but the rain continued all night, I thought I was back in Germany. I opened a pack of Canary seed bars, the hook was missing from one, and when I went to hang the other one, the hook snapped off, Bother!.
I only eat bananas when they are deep yellow with black patches, lovely and ripe and sweet, the unripe ones are flavourless and bland, they could be anything except a 'nana.
I think it's time to remove that pomegranate, it must be quite dried out by now. I must check the Asian fruit stall soon, and see what's available.

PS, that should read "O" out of "count", predictive text can be a real pain!

Oops! Sorry, Rain here a real down pour, Lylette emailed me when notice is served for breach of tenancy then it takes 28 days to get to court but quite it is enough to stop the noise and lasts for a year. Phew the sooner the better. You cannot type *** but c is okay!

Oh! The irony!, one in the dictionary t'other a very naughty word!.
We have a beautiful evening here, once they have the court order, she will have to pack, and of course, No landlord, HA or private will touch her with a barge pole after this, This is exactly why people on the streets are homeless for a reason. Ah well, time to tuck Sanjay up in bed for the night, where Do the days go?.

I was thinking this morning knowing my luck if Emma does go l could get some eastern European who sub lets the property and moves 20 families in! Better off half a life than none. Emma has just had a new front door, new bay window and a new bathroom window must have cost thousands, she has had two front doors since she came two years ago. Maintenance is seperate to housing. Lylette has not served the order yesterday so l suppose l shall have to wait for Emma to let rip again, today was her benefit pay check day amd Friday she usually goes mad at 3 am with friends.
While they were putting in the bay window with some sharp hammering caused Billie to take off and land on my head only later did l discover she pooped on me too! Still quite warm here 75f in the bedroom l have just turned off my portable air conditioner that got the temp down to 72f and the sun is behind the trees. Billie really enjoys cooked carrot and swede, she has such a choice she does not know what to eat next. As l was covering her up tonight l dislodged the water bottle and it fell to the bottom of the cage, l had to wear my gardening gauntlets to retrieve it as she did not like my hand in this late. It looks like St Valentines mascara in the park with feathers everywhere, the geese spread their wings to sit on the cool tarmac under the trees. Went to the doctor today and had a blood pressure test they gave me a slip of paper with the result, SYS 114, DIA 61, PUL 56 (b.P.m. That should be R.P.M) but l have no idea what it means.

That's "systolic" and "Distolic"" you can check the results etc online. Your pulse is 56 heartbeats per minute.
St Valentines day Mascara? (shouldn't that be massacre?) Mind you, if the geese are at it, maybe the female geese are using a lot of eye make up.
Sanjay won't eat cooked veggies, he likes butternut squash raw, but has never been keen on carrots cooked or raw. Like Billie, he is always spoilt for choice. Emma's notice might arrive in the post, they need to make sure she gets it, or she might deny receiving it. If you get a sub letter, you let the HA know immediately, which is what I did when that black couple sublet Flat 3 straight away.
Ah yes, the self appointed meddler has been told by our HA they have No funds for bark chips etc for next doors garden, I hate to say I told them so, But....I told him so!

Its bucketing down here, and l have just hit the wrong button and wiped out my reply however the rain started with a peel of thunder but not so this afternoon, l went out in my combat jacket and trousers feeling a bit of a fool because everyone else was in tee shirts and then half way round it just poured l got soaked, the tee shirt brigade were sheltering under trees will they never learn?
I did mention to Lylette that about 15 years ago we had a similiar situ and the HA put the notice through the door when the tenant did not answer the door and when it got to court he claimed he never had it so they had to go through the whole process again. You could hear his noise 200 yards away and the man living above him got fed up he went out and kicked Errol's car and then Errol chased him down the street and machetted his arm, in the end the bad uns all blot their copy book we just have to wait until they do!
Billie wont try the fig, l think it is the wrong colour, l keep biitng bits off it and saying Yummie to no avail.

I would love to have seen her expression! I bet she gave you the lazy eye!
I'm pleased you didn't decide to wear a tee shirt, you would have been soaked to the skin, sheltering under trees in lightning!, idiots!.
Sanjay lost a wing feather today, it was lovely and cool from the breeze he made flying around. I remember once, the eviction notice was taped to a flat door, but the tenant tore it down and threw it away!. Better to send it registered post, they are eager to sign for it because they think it's money. Ha!

If I had a shilling for every time I knew what I meant when l meant to say, l would be a millionaire by now. I have no idea if it was served they do not tell you or me, but Emma last Friday had an outdoor bar-b-que which ended at 2.30 am and the noise continued inside until 6.30 am! But last night she went out 6 pm and slammed her new front door, l do not know when she came back but l awoke to a horrible smell at 4 am she had her bedroom window open. But all in all l had a good night's sleep, hope l get a good night tonight!

Did you watch the Trooping of the colour? No one does it as good as us. Just wiped out this mail but found it lurking in the top ribbon, when I did National Service they gave me a rifle a .303mand our squad loosened all the nuts and screws so that we could imitate the US marine corp. Slap Slap. But they made us march down to the Ash Hill ranges and we had to fire the rifles they vibrated so much it stung our hands. What is this red line? It must be the hin red line.

But when the introduced the FN rifle they would not let me shoot it from my left shoulder I have a lazy right eye.

Meant to say that Billie watched avidly, but when l accidentally put up a menu she started her tut-tuttering so l quickly got it back for her she watched from her door right up to the procession up the Mall then she got some thing to eat. Did I tell you they would not let me march behind the band. "Put your foot down when you here the bass drum go boom." Said the Drum Major. So there I was foot in the air waiting for the boom! And still our of step.

I always watch it, we always did, and I smile at the tiny guards who are women 46% apparently, we had a girl who "tick tocked" (both arms out at the same time) she was thrown off the squad eventually, then thrown out of the army for spending the weekend in a hotel with two sailors, then lying about where she'd been, she got found out when the hotel phoned the camp because she had left her bag there. Daddi told me they used to drop something down the barrels of their rifles (SLR's ?) to make them rattle loudly. He was a drill instructor in the Royal Engineers. I also love the horses, aren't they splendid?.
Sanjay can't watch TV because of the way his cage is sited, but when the band played "Colonel Bogey" he picked up, it's one of his favourite toons, he hasn't sung it for a while though. Hope you get a good night sleep tonight again, that's great news!

This has been the quietest week end on record, I think she must have had the notice! Well it lasts for a year so lets hope that is the end of her noise, one of my neighbours has not seen Billie for nearly a year but when Janet came in Billie immediately recognized her and gave a fanfare welcome! Billie is a great Tv fan although l am not sure what she likes, but Toons do not seem to capture her attention. If I go out l try and find a wildlife progranmme for her to watch. But one thing for sure she does not likeme listening to the Tv even I use headphones after she has been covered up, tonight l made her wait until 5.30pm but she was making little begging noises.
LOL l am terriblely accident prone l cook the spuds and mashed them and added the marge, but just at that moment the mince meat decided it was too hot in the micro wave and after giving it a stir l tipped the grated cheese in that should have been the frozen vegs so l had to scrape the cheese off the meat and mix it into the mashed poms, howver it all worked out well, Shepherds pie is the best meal of the week but at 530 calories very fattening! Still l am very pleased with my weight loss 6 stone in a year and l wear these 36 " waist trousers that just fit! I have given most of the too large clothes to Age Concern, but even 44" waist is enormous!
Just as l was thinking of going out for my walk it rained so l cancelled the walk. Yes l love the horses too, did you notice one of the horses the royal colonels was riding up near the Queen was misbehaving? Some attendants in red coats came out to clam it down. As the Queen went back to Buck house she had a blanket over her knees.

She would!. When our dogs played up when we were talking to people we would say "just talk among yourselves for a minute", and I automatically say it now, when I see a horse doing it's own thing! They can be capricious, We lived near a field of Suffolk Punch horses once, and one of my male Samoyed was scared of them, they would walk beside us on their side of the fence, so I took treats in my pocket, and got Luke to stand next to them for a treat, he soon got over his fear. We had rain today too, and thunder, it will do the garden good. Bless Billie for remembering and welcoming your friend, Sanjay remembers people too.I'm very pleased for you, losing that weight, it's quite an achievement, especially as our metabolism slows down with age.

Lovely shepherds pie yesterday but oh dear woke all woosy so had some Andrews Liver salts, but could not keep that down and an hour later it all came up, but after brekkies of porridge felt better. So Billie got her cage cleaned rather late and the floor had to wait until after lunch to be cleaned up. No rain today and a gently breeze is blowing, but still quite warm. 73 in here. There is thunder in the air. I once stroked this magnificent stallion's nose in a field and the brute lifted is right foreleg and kick my knee l coukd not walk for weeks!

The trick with losing the weight is to keep it off. Billie is funny about 4 pm she calls to be covered and l say "Too early"
so she tries again at 4.30 and of course l say "Too early!" Then she had another go at 5 pm but now she starts to plead and grumbles if l say "Too early!" This morning she had a nap on the perch and was grinding her beak and talking in her sleep. It was quite weird.

Sounds as though the meat was a bit off, it doesn't take much in this humidity, that was why Curried food was invented during the Raj, to disguise non too fresh meat. My dad always had Andrews liver salts the morning after a few pints.
It's rained again, and there's been thunder rattling around, strange weather for June. I bought Sanjay a little fruit pot, melon cubes, grapes, and half a passion fruit inside, yet I haven't seen any whole passion fruit for sale, which he loves. Anyway, keep yourself hydrated, if necessary, buy electrolyte drink sachets from Boots.

Yuk! No thanks, l drink 6 litres No added sugar fruit drinks about 8 calories, plus 6 mugs of lemon Lift with extra sweetners and a dash of honey about 20 calories each, now l have got down to 12 stone l can afford a few luxuries. We have a new pet his name is Fred although he does not have anything you can tell whether he is a boy or a girl but today he met his come uppance by being squashed! A house fly! I told Billie she should hunt it down but every time it flies past she sqwarks, she is terrified! Shopping today, l spent far too much £70. No walk today rained off. Billie has some apple in one of her stainless steel dishes but lunch time l pop on top a littleplastic dish with half a fig, some more chopped apples and some grapes and some Yoghurt, l bought the worng kind today but Bille quite liked it. but you would laugh, she threw out the fig, then the grapes went out followed by the appple and l saw her take the plastic dish and carry it to her door where she threw that out!!!
The meat came out of the freezer and was feshly frozen, no l think it was the grated cheese it had a use by date Nov 2015 but since that adds 117 calories l shall dispense with it in future.

Goodness! Nov 2015?, you're lucky you haven't got Listeria!. The only cheese I have is Mozzarella or Brie, but only once in a blue moon, I love cheese on toast with a dash of Worcester sauce, I buy Danish bread, 55 calories a slice. The weather here has been contrary all day, it turned really dark this afternoon for a while, Sanjay decided it was nap time!

I did not give Billie a plastic dish today but that did not stop her throwing out most of the apple, she does not like the runny youghurt l saw her shudder as she picked up a some apple coated in runny youghurt to throw out. However as she had so much fun throwing out that plastic dish l shall l give her another tommorow. It was 5 pm when she insisted it was bed time, I buy weight watchers bread at 43 calories a slice but might go for your Danish.
Managed to get a walk between showers. Very black now, more rain coming.

Same here, with thunder mumbling around in the background. Another feather today, I shall have to dig out the Feather Up, Sanjay semaphored for a shower bottle and it stopped him faffing about with itchy pin feathers, he doesn't like runny yogurt either, it's Greek style or nothing, I buy packs of Nase Goreng and Bami Goreng from lidl, half a pack is an ideal meal, and he loves to share either noodles or rice depending on which one I have, the Army cook these for the Ghurka regiment. Another little treat are the gluten free energy bars, peanut and pecan, with maple syrup, not for the dieters!, but he loves a share. Anyway, our lovely gardeners came today, and are going to ask their boss about some bark chips for next doors front garden, I explained the HA are saying they're too broke to pay for them, the gardeners are such decent guys, I didn't mind asking them if they could help. It's "Kingsmill White Danish" bread, and just the right size for one person,

Sent message to Mods so keep this short, look forward to hearing form you tomorrow. P

Aha! There you are! See you soon
