Okay Not To Disrupt 2Sp's Thread...

[gness]

...any more than we have.......and we know who to blame for that....!

My brother should have been with the birding group here in Portugal but had to go into hospital instead.....

My gadgets aren't working too well here....well my phone might if I had remembered to bring it....so I gave the contact numbers etc of the others to keep up with his progress.....

Portugal has many gardens alongside convents and churches. We found one and sat on a bench not far away from three nuns......but far enough...I don't go too near nuns these days....

J's phone pinged....Ahh....message for you, Gness...from your brother.....

I took his gadget and walked away......

An ideal pet for you...said the brother's message and I opened it.......It was a youtube thing of a blasted parrot spouting.....Hail Mary...Full of Grace....the whole lot! Holy Mary...Mother of God.....

Could I turn it off!!!!! I scurried back with nuns glowering at me convinced I was squawking the whole prayer as I scurried.......

Off out soon.....I ironed two shirts in exchange for dinner tonight....didn't let on I love ironing shirts.....made quite a fuss about it..... :-)

Hi Gness, hope your brother is o.k?
I didn't know you were away, have a lovely time!

Hi Elina.....he's fine thanks.......just bad timing to coincide with the trip....but next time......x

Saw it Minty.....bloomin' thing!

Jings gness, I have missed your shenanigans :-D

[gness]

The others just read this.....they reckon it wasn't the parrot that upset the nuns....
They say it was me suddenly running across a peaceful garden yelling....

Oh ***....oh ***......help.......!!!!!!

[gness]

That was a little sweary word...... :-)

[pastafreak]

Nice to see you back gness...do try to return from your meal unscathed.....;-)

[gness]

Hi, Melv.....I think.....Parrots!!!! Much prefer the Purple Swamphen.....much more polite!...x

Thanks, Pasta....I will try..........but it's Fado night......wine.....lovely waiters and gorgeous guitarists.......Mmmmmmm...... ;-)

[melv16]

Welcome back, gness . The country is chocker with waxwings now you're in Portugal :-)

[gness]

Well.....there I was......off to cheer up with a meal, wine and men and what does Melv do???

Tell me the UK is awash with one of my favourite birds! Didn't see one last year.....

Are you really getting lots, Melv?.....I know quite a few had arrived just before I left....lovely bird....x

[melv16]

I haven't seen any, as yet, gness. According to the web site there's loads of them all over the country. Its only a matter of time before they turn up in my part of the world.

[gness]

Thanks, Melv.....they'll wait til I'm home then descend on Sainsbury's car park......I hope.... :-)

Offspring fine ta.
I'm upset about Psybs.
The AB gremlins rarely let me post these days.

I think I'll have to buy a puter that runs on that new electric stuff rather than steam...
