Day 92

Hello and welcome to a little update - its Thursday 7th July 2011 - not many people know that!!! LOL

And thats the update! NOT

Sorry - just feeling in a silly mood....does it show?

Thought I should tell you about what happened last night - I'm pretty sure you will all be interested....

Yesterday was another same old same old day really - fly to the glove and then to the scales for the daily weigh in - then fly back and forth for food which dad praised me for saying I was doing really good - in fact mum was pretty shocked when I flew from the kitchen to catch dad who went running into the living room with MY chick!!!

Then it was outside for the day with Gizmo and Kai - weather was so so and I suppose it was an ok kind of day

So imagine the shock when dad announced the weather was perfect so I was to have my first REAL flight out on the front - yippee - talk about excited!

It was after 11pm - all was quiet everywhere so dad brought all us birds indoors and got me ready to try the flight - he was so calm yet I could sense he was excited about it - he often said there is nothing like that first real flight to get you going - and I wasnt going to let him down - no way!

Mum decided she would stay indoors knowing how easily I get distracted - dad seemed to think it was a good idea too - and mum knew she could look through the craft room window and see it all....

I was taken out and perched on the garden fence while dad got himself organised when a car turned into the street and drove down to where we were - in fact it parked next to dads car - which is fair enough - dad stood with an impatient look on his face waiting for the car to go - what he never saw coming was the next door neighbour open the car door and step out - it was clear he had had a few drinks and proceeded to walk over to me and start a conversation with dad

DISASTER!!!

That was flying finished - dad knows I have the concentration of a gnat - that is NONE - and once I get distracted I rarely go back to a concentrated state

So Steve was nattering away to dad asking questions - the same questions he has asked time and again - then he started talking to me - wonder if he thought I was a parrot and was going to talk back - it was the look on his face that sort of said why arent you replying??? DOH - if thats what drink does Im glad I dont do it,....

Who knows when I will get my next chance to have my first real flight - I know both dad and I really want it to happen - all we need is for everyone to stay away!!!

Will let you know when it happens.....

Byeeee
