budgies

We are now inundated with budgies, they are nice but not enough meat on one to feed a grown man.

however they are noisey little gets.

We did have three of the little buggers but "D" thought they should be in pairs so we went off yesterday to get another.

From left to right

Puff, Poo, Pete, Pea.

Pete is the new one and has fit in real well.








he's big isn't he.

old limpy is back

I can't stop limping,

I try but it won't go away, I could be limping forever,that bloody sciatica has left me with a limp.
Anyway that's only a small thing (no that's not what "D" says)at least I am not in pain and have been back to work a few weeks now.

I have been very tired and it has knocked me back a bit

Only 3 weeks now and we will be on holiday in Africa we did have all the Jabs yes all of them including , yellow fever, tetanus, polio,, diphtheria, cholera, typhoid,hepatitis A, and apart from having the shits for a couple of days I have been fine. "D" was much worse and seemed to have taken all the illness's all at once but she will be fine,I suspect packing will be done 1/2 an hour before we leave for the airport.

One bad thing happened at work when one of the workers got injured the other day "me" being a first aider was the first to deal with him, the poor chap got hit by some steel on his hand, I have never seen an injury like it, on the back of his hand it took the whole of his skin from the wrist right down to the knuckles completely away down to the bone tendons and muscle's.

I bandaged him up and an ambulance rushed him straight off to hospital he underwent a 3 and half hour operation soon after with skin grafts, to his hand I personally don't think he will come back to work here.

It was without doubt the worst injury I have ever had to patch up.

Today we went to our local shops we were finished and just about to set off in the car and heard this huge bang ,,,,,, A bus had pulled out and hit a passing car ,,,,,,, picture shows bus driver and disgruntled car driver and passenger arguing over details,
West Midland transport is sure fun
The silver car they are stood by is the one that got hit and knackered all his near side up
