Print Page - Free time poll...

Yes, I would have to agree ... WHAT free time?

My day starts at 5 -5.30am with letting the dog out for his ... toilet duties. Then I set about getting myself organised for the morning. (set about getting organised. Didn't say I achieved it). And also organising lunch for hubby. (he is wonderful. Manages to get his own breakfast)

Once I am organised, then starts the fun and games. Usually, Charlie is uncovered first in the mornings (he is a rainbow lorikeet parrot). Then he has fresh seed, water, fruit and veges, fresh dry food. And cage cleaned. Next come the 30+ finches with the same routine minus fruit and dry food mix. Then the hooded masked parrots and babies are attended to with all the same proceedures. Then it is downstairs to feed the quails, peach face parrots and masked parrots. When all is done there, and a quick watering of the plants, it is upstairs again to feed the baby.

The baby is about 1month old now I think, and she weighs 145 gms this morning. Yes, she has lost weight. But they do that when you cut back with their feeds. Her name is Chicken, and she is yellow. SOOOO cute. Those beady eyes just watch you when you feed her. Though she has grown quiet quickly, and is starting to demonstrate the desire to fly soon. THAT is fun and games when they start doing that, just ask the cat!!!!!

Chicken usually takes about 1/2 an hour to feed, as sometimes the food goes cold or is too hot. After her feed, she has her cage cleaned out, and is placed back inside after cuddles and kisses. (THIS one I get to keep.)

Then it is on to Buttercup. She is the last of the babies I have had to raise. Lenny was the first, and he was green. He has now gone to a new and loving home. Buttercup was my second to raise. The third baby was sold before I saw her grow. Then there was Daisy ... well!! Daisy was a female dog when she came to me. A VERY rebellious baby! She loved to bite, and bite earrings (IN THE EARS) attacked my glasses, would bite my neck (NOT the sort of bite I liked on my neck). But after 2 weeks with me, she was almost putty in my hands. And after 3 weeks, I could cuddle her, and manage a kiss before bedtime. Then she went back home to be sold.

So, back to Buttercup. She comes out of the cage and sits on my shoulder while I clean her cage, and do all those busy things for her too. And she is given a large dish of fruit mainly, with a few veges. She LOVES grapes. Even when they are hidden under everything else, yep. Buttercup finds them and they are the first thing to be eaten.

By this time, it can be hmmm 8am maybe 8.30am? Hubby has gone, birds are all attended too, so it is my time - breakfast, reading emails, forum (if I have a chance) and letting the whinging dog back inside because he wants to sit with me.

I seem to loose track after that, as daughter comes upstairs and chats to me, or wants me to go down to her. I potter in the garden (BOY, have I done some pottering.) Washing, folding, horrible things like ... HOUSE WORK!! (though, I have been confined to bed for past 3 days. Ruptured a disc again!! ) Today, not too bad.

And of course, how can I not mention .... CRICKET!!! Come on Aussie come one, come on. Come on Aussie come one come on!! WOO HOOO!!!! Cricket season!!!! Ashes Test!! WOOO HOOOO!!!

Other days, let me see .... I work a couple of hours 2 days a week at the moment, I take my inlaws shopping, doctors or whatever they need to do. hmmm yes. Free time ..... let me find it and I will tell you.

No, seriously Decius. I play no other MUD. (Solace has really spoilt us) but I do play Runescape, the kids game. I enjoy it - NO PK-ing!!! LOL

So, what have you been up too?

To Quino - Found a girl; she's much more entertaining than mud. Why? Does she sing and dance? Or juggle?
