I see the Eastern Rosellas here occasionally, but I think they find it uncomfortable with the bigger birds around.

They seem to prefer open grassy areas, fresh air,, sunshine, room to move...

I've seen them eating, here, so they think the food's food,  but not necessarily food... I think it's a matter of taking your parents to McDonalds... there's somewhere they'd rather be, eating something they'd rather eat... ha ha...

It's sad to think that the slow crawl of "progress" is robbing us of our wildlife.

🙂

As Arnie said in Terminator 2, "It is in your nature to destroy yourselves"...

A new species will evolve...

My money's on the lizards...

They did pretty well last time round by all accounts...

They had a good, long stretch and didn't leave it in too bad a state.

I think where their strategy worked for them was that they didn't treat the World around them as if it was a Magic Pudding.

Cut an' come again worked, as an idea, an absolute treat for Norman Lindsay, but the World is not a kid's book...

So, bring on the reptiles... hopefully they'll do a better job than our lot did...

I like the idea of the grab rail, hand rail, post thing on the step ladder...

I'll have to try out the idea on the step ladder I've got, working on the principle that I'm never too old to try out new ideas that may go horribly, horribly wrong, ha ha...

Speaking of things not going the way I expected...

I visited an arty crafty site because they had an article titled "Make your own wooden crates"...

It's not going to hurt to have a look, is it?... ha ha...

Under the title "Things you'll need"...

Wooden crates...

Maybe it's me, but I can't help feel that that defeats the purpose of the exercise, ha ha...

🙂

Can I Not "Haz cheezburgers"?

🙂

I found something to go with that dehydrated water... I think it'll come in handy... ha ha...

🙂

If I've got between six and eighteen months to wait for the shoulder to heal, then that should be adequate time for me to learn not to put my arm in positions where things get painful... I would think so, anyway... ha ha...

But there it is, the sudden "twinge", always ready to pounce, so to speak, always ready to remind me, just after the fact, that I shouldn't have done that... ha ha.

It's only been a week, a week and a half and already my devious mind has started ticking over the idea of taking down internal doors, or turning them around so I can only use them with my right hand... ha ha...

I'm not even going to start with refitting the kitchen for the sake of moving the cutlery drawer... ha ha...

The trouble I could go to in order to save myself trouble...  ha ha...

Well, it keeps me occupied... Thinking about it, I mean... ha ha...

I wrote myself a list, last night - "Things I'm not going to be able to do, tomorrow...", ha ha.

I'm going to find ways to see the funny side of this, no matter what, ha ha...
