I love anything to do with Everest and mountain climbing in general, probably because i can't do it , We stopped with our camper at the bottom of the Eigor a few years back which was amazing my only regret was not doing the Jungfrau train trip, that's still on our bucket list.

Yay, another kindred spirit skysmumI could also never climb Everest. I would not even make it to base camp as my lung capacity is already lower than normal. Something like 50%. The altitude would most likely not be kind to me. Such fun watching others do it from my sofa though

Azalea I am not sure my reaction would be worth that much. Never been a really dramatic person. I don't think watching me react would be that entertaining skysmum great photo by the way!

I have not heard of it, but I'll look it up. I have watched a lot of Everest stuff on youtube, it's full of it!

Interesting. I've actually wondered if Everest is a busy place. I've heard that about Paris (movies and TV make Paris seem like a good place for lonely, thought-provoking walks...but it's supposedly quite crowded for its size).

I've been to Paris twice, didn't like it to be honest. Not much vegetarian food, also everyone seemed to smoke. AND, they're a bit rude! Interesting.

I didn't like Paris either.. it rained all the time, a man exposed himself on the Metro... other than that... lol
I am not a city person really, although loved New York and Barcelona (that was with work so not that much time looking around)

This often seems to be true, in my experience! People own bird, two, or at least six.

I started with 2 birds, one died, so I rehomed another 2. I had 3 for a month, didn't work out so I got another. I can't remember how long I had 4 for but I started to take in rehomes only and it crept up to 9. It's loitered between 9 and 11. Currently 10. I think that when (God forbid) some of my current clan pass, I'll keep the total lower so they are more manageable, that is the plan anyway! This often seems to be true, in my experience!

I think you both need Loz's wonderful BudgiePram, you could proactively go looking for rehomes .......
