There's only one exotic vets specialist around here but he's been very good and inexpensive the couple of times I've needed him. I did question his expertise though when he brought out a 4" square wound dressing and a large tube of anusol to treat an eye infection on my small lizard. Apparently nothing is made in small lizard portions so even the packet of medicated food they gave me would have fed her for years rather than the few weeks he recommended.
We've got an African grey parrot and if she becomes unwell we have to travel to another county but she's worth it. But I think we've got a dyslexic parrot 😂😂
I was staying with my cousins in Canada, and they were going to make a round trip of three hours to get Cooper's stitches removed after he was emasculated. I was a nursing auxiliary, so I offered to do it, provided they got two strong men to hold him down - he was that kind of dog. They did, and I did, no probs. I just didn't tell them I'd never taken stitches out before.
Well, what I don't understand about art would fill an encyclopedia or 3 but won't tell me why "vocal artists" shout and screech or mumble and moan instead of singing in key and on note.
Many years ago we hired a boat on the Thames for a week. Moored up near a pub one evening, as you do, and a bunch of musicians set up shortly after we arrived. We thought they were doing sound checks and tuning instruments until most of the pub burst into applause. Turns out they were playing 'Modern Jazz'! Thankfully there was another pub on the other side of the bridge.
Now that makes me think of the time Ravi Shankar went on stage, played a few notes on his sitar, paused, and the audience broke out in applause. The ever-gracious Shankar responded: "Thank you! If you appreciate the tuning so much, I hope you enjoy the playing even more."
I wish people would focus on the subject and not on the background, and leave a gap between photos. Thats my gripe for the day, not much in the grand scheme of things. Just fed up with blurred flower id.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Gah! Bird trapped in the greenhouse A baby sparrow must have fallen in through the roof window and got stuck inside. Not too much damage though luckily, a few flattened plants and a couple knocked off shelves but nothing badly broken. It could have been a lot worse.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I suppose we all have differing tolerance to sounds. Listening to someone crunch their way through a bag of crisps makes me want to do a brutal murder 😬

Agree about photos Lyn. Much easier when there's a bit of space and focus too.
