Well, I’d like to say that this is proof that we have been eating things other than our mushrooms, however, the hashbrowns (which were made by Ian for breakfast and were superb) were eaten with mushrooms and the roast potatoes were eaten with the lentil wellington which also included mushrooms. I noticed, without my initial enthusiasm, that another crop of mushrooms was coming through. It’s a little like the Saucer’s apprentice!
I recycled our wrapping paper and packaging into a toy for Larry. I thought that the bright colours might make a nice change for him from his normal toilet roll coloured toys.
This is his cage now, and this doesn’t show his pomegranate or pine cones – or the cauliflower leaves that I put in yesterday. I wonder if parrots can be over stimulated.
This is a fuzzy picture of Larry running towards his new toy with glee. Or is it horror that I’ve put yet more rubbish in his lovely parrot palace. The box which Ian’s torch came in was a great shape for a parrot toy (bottom right). It is wedge shaped so I poked it through the bars of his cage and he can stand on it and peck it, which he seems to enjoy.
Here is my Christmas present from Ian – although there does seem to be a little confusion as to who it was for. It is a new cover for one of our bean bags. We had fun scooping the beans out of the old bean bag cover into this one, they hold a surprising amount! This style is better than our other one as it sits up right on its own and doesn’t need to be propped against something. I can also get out of it without rolling on the floor, which is an advantage. We did a pretty good job of filling the bean bag cover as the potential for the house looking like it had been filled with fake snow was high!
And because we felt guilty about taking the sofa out of the living room, we left it in over Christmas for Rosie and Wilbur. Yes, they are probably spoilt!
Although here Wilbs chose lying in front of the fire with his little friend! People are often surprised that we have cats and dogs living together, I think we have plenty of photos that show that they can be great chums.
