In news today, George took a stroll around the outside of his cage, with me telling him to go back in and trying to get him to land on my hand. He's a stubborn fellow, he jumped to the floor and I had to rescue him.
Also, I was sitting, eating dinner watching the Blacklist. I felt a budgie jump on my foot, it really startled me. It was Peter, he'd obviously ended up on the floor and jumped on my foot so I'd pick him up and put him back in his cage.
I sprayed a few of the budgies today as it was so warm (32C). Most of them hated it, but Chipper seemed to enjoy it. I think Lyra liked it, but she's so scared of me it was hard to tell!

Does Peter need a hand up Marianne Marlow, or are you just a slave to them? The heat looked horrendous in London yesterday so I’m sure they all appreciated the spray really. I managed to keep the house fairly cool but the air was so humid outdoors, even in the shade, that I’m liking the change today. It’s really windy here. No sign of a thunderstorm although I have a headache from the weather so hopefully we’ll get one to clear the air.

I get headaches when the weather is oppressive too, plus my hayfever has been on a whole new level over the last week. Every day I have been feeling like I am getting a cold, itchy throat sore eyes, sinuses full of liquid and sneezing all day. I already take fexofenadine but I have had a second antihistamine and nasal spray, making no difference.
I am a slave to them but yes Peter normally gets a hand up, so he obviously saw my foot and though, I'll just help myself up, it really startled me!

Hayfever has been on another level this year, for sure. Everything is an effort.

My eyes have been so itchy. I also take daily fexofenadine and nasal spray and eyedrops. My hayfever has definitely settled more the older I’ve become but I heard there’s some sort of super-pollen this year.
I expect you were startled when you felt something jump on your foot!

That reminds me. I was decorating the other day in the hall with the budgies shut away in the lounge. I was pretty absorbed with what I was doing so when I heard someone try the lounge door handle, I had a moment of anxious concern. If you're alone in the house no one should be trying to open doors! Pretty sure it was Chocobo. She's probably noticed that the door opens when I grasp the door handle so she tried it too.

I thought it might have been Max on my foot as he does that sometimes, but it's a smoother motion and he'll normally start singing, this was clumsy and more clawsy!
Ha ha, Chocobo trying door handles, what next?

Chocobo seems to have many unexpected skills. It reminds me of the Cravendale Milk advert a few years ago, with cats having thumbs so they can open doors and take the lid off the milk. I wonder just what Chocobo gets up to when you have a sneaky nap…
