Day 74

A huge thank you to the one and only person that commented on yesterdays blog - I will certainly do my best to continue, but would love to know people are genuinely interested in me and what I have to say - so please take a moment out to leave me a comment!!!

I have some personal info to share today - at weigh in today I was 10 7/8oz so considerably lighter than you will all recall - dad tells me this is perfect for the flying!!!

As you know I fly to the glove for food - when I can be bothered - and have nothing around to distract me - but I have, in this last feeding session of the day, complete 5 perfect flights from the side to the glove - and after capturing and eating the food I am thrown back so have to fly and land and be ready for the next chick - I so pleased with myself! Hooray,....

But now I am back on the block - not actually tied as yet - so I have flown a few times to the table as there was something new on it that was capturing my attention - I finally discovered what it was - doh - do I feel dim now - it was Layton's socks....I'll never live that one down now will I?? lol

For anyone who had a go at yesterdays quiz - here are the answers....
