sunday lazeabouts

so i chose to start going through birds of a feather, i quite enjoy that show, gives me a good laugh hearing all the sayings i don't really know and learning some new rhyming slang, cockney accents and the like...

house is back in order... vaccuummeeeddd (fondled dyson...), washing done, ironing done, dishwasher ran a cycle and dishes away... marinated some pork for dinner tonight...

weather is nice and cool today but sun still has a bit of kick in it if you stand under it long enough

black and tails were their usual chattery selves whilst i was dealing with washing on the line and harvesting their eggs... i love those girls, they give me the companionship that sometimes is lacking during home life... i can talk to them and they talk back - moreso black than tails... i think tails is still unsure what to make of me, apart from being "that human who calls out 'chook chook chook' in the mornings and throws seeds at me and occasionally tries to drown us both on the hot days with the hose" - well that's the look she gives me while i stand in her line of travel lol

i wonder whether different breeds of birds can communicate with each other or if it's like humans from different countries with language barriers...

i would expect not, otherwise i think my girls would've made an attempt to warn the 4 sparrows from entering the middle of a roll of chicken wire as they would inevitably get stuck... and subsequently die.... silly buggers...

not to mention the silly bugger sparrows who decided to nest in the flue of the wood heater, and make their way to the fire box and flap around in the ash until they too died.....

as much as i love birds, they have really given me the thought that some of the local ones don't like me lol given the starlings who constantly nested in my eaves, the little blackbird thing that i found dead on top of the worm farm, the sparrows in various locations, the semi-regular *bang* against the glass of a window or door of a silly things flying into its' own reflection (and no, my glass is not that clean lol).... i've had a few birds heave themselves at my windscreen whilst driving too...

maybe they just misunderstand me...

always been a bird man, so to speak, whenever someone asks me whether i like cats or dogs, i always reply with "feathers" or "birds" - much the same as the ridiculous debate of whether someone likes fords or holdens, i reply with "toyota" hehehe

this week will be interesting at work.. don't know why... things have been "interesting" for me for a little while at work, so this week will just add to the suspense of what might happen...
