An update on (Sparkling) Agatha Cyanide
For those of you that like to read Gracia’s blog (and who could not?), you will have already met our lovely new friend (Sparkling) Agatha Cyanide. I thought you would like an afternoon meets early evening update on how she is doing.
Agatha’s day…
Spent the morning out in the garden, conversing with passersby: several very attractive rosellas, a slender praying mantis, Misha (non-penguin), a dozen or so plump pigeons and a pair of feisty blackbirds.
Then I had my human friends move me indoors by the window in order that I could look out across the street. A new spot for me to explore, and a rather handy one, I could introduce myself to the postie and other passing humans whilst watching out the corner of my eye these two from a safe distance.
In the late afternoon my human friends returned and brought with them a handful of fresh eucalyptus leaves, a cuttlefish and a colourful mirror to dangle before me. We spent the next little while rearranging my home and discussing the merits of getting me a feathered friend to spend my days with. We also chatted about mutually preferable sentences for me to parrot.
The evening lies ahead and I’m planning on enjoying it with some fresh seed and a good book. If only they'd get me a typewriter.
Have a great Easter or weekend, all. See you sometime next week.
a beautiful portrait of your new friend. hi agatha!

what a lovely time Agatha has....she looks so intelligent in her portrait... try looking on ebay... they might have typewriters for budgies .... or perhaps you could make a set of alphabet cards and you and Agatha could work out a code and sequence of signs and movements to get that novel out there....
