<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well I know its been a long long time since you had any updats from me but as ever my life is pretty much the same day in day out</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">But today - it wasn't!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">It startd when dad decided I could have a little freedom while he was getting all us birds ready for a show - so I was in the kitchen - overseeing what he was up to - it has to be done, you understand!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">Well dad talks away to me - one day I will stun him by replying....but for now I just listen - well when it suits me I do...</span></div>

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">Not too sure what happened next - or why - but I ended up on top of the wall cupboards - you can take it from me there is little room up there - I struggled to stand upright!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">I was wandering around up there and suddenly my attention was drawn to movement under the wall cupboard...how can that be???</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">So I was concentrating so hard - I mantled - and I was determined I was having whatever it was - only problem I could see was how was I going to get down a space that was only about 2 inches wide...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">Mum came to look armed with the camera - ha ha - too late - I aren't posing for piccies today thank you very much!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">Then it was mystery solved - dad was telling mum he was wiggling his fingers under the gap in the units - huh - there was me thinking it was something worth getting into a fix for!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">So soon enough us birds were all in the travel boxes we now all have - and on our way to the show...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">It wasnt too busy to start with but as always us birds draw large crowds - especially kids - you wouldn't believe how many times they poke, prod and nudge me and I really just want to sink my beak in - of course I dont - cos I am a professional!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;">Can you think back quite some time ago - we were at another bird show and I had a break for freedom? That day I flew and flew high into the trees and everyone feared I would disappear from view and never come back again?</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well its been a long long time sonce I added anything here so thought you might like to see a few piccies mum has taken of me and Gizmo....</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We are both continuing to do well - we spend all day out in the garden and we love the snow - I hear mum complaining about it all the time and dad saying its hard work walking 3 dogs in it - but hey its great fun for us birds - have to say I think Gizmo might be tapped in the head at times though cos he just rolls and rolls in the snow - brrr - I like it - but not that much!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Mind you some days dad takes away the thickest sheet of ice from our huge baths and silly fool Gizmo will lay in the freezing cold water - head under it - the lot!!! As I say - he must be tapped</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I had a day out with dad today - together with the new baby bengal eagle owl and Graham with his Harris Hawk Casper - we were putting on a display at the Wolds Prison - a great day we had too!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">For anyone who doesnt know about our new edition to the family - read the story here....</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Long time no see I know</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">But as I keep on saying life is pretty much the same day in day out now I am a fully grown beautiful barn owl</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And yes I do still sing my own praises....lol</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">All is just fine here for us - Gizmo is same as ever - he must have been a domestic god in his previous life though as he positively drools when mum and dad do the cleaning - he gets immense pleasure just watching the hoover or mop going back and forth in front of him...how sad!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And he STILL at every opportunity gains access to my perch - he has started flapping like a mad owl and drags his perch 2 or 3 feet so he can then hop on my perch with me - Im pretty certain he thinks I like it - well if you read this Gizmo - I DONT! OK!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Im happy just watching the days happenings - I keep myself to myself these days - but mum still walks by and attempts to stroke my head - so this is a message for you mum....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">When I was a baby that was great - I loved it - but Im a big barn owl now - and I dont like it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So stop looking so shocked when you talk to me then go to touch - and I bite you!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Right then - back to the reason for posting - mums friend Ann sent her this link and we all think you should enjoy it too,.....</span></div>

</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And she did!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">But Gizmo and I made the most of it </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Dad put us both out as normal and as is the way when the sun shines, mum heads for her garden chair - and this week she was armed with her camera!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So Gizmo and I posed for her - well you have to do what you can to make old folks happy dont you??? Believe me all us birds did was look at each other, smooch together - clean each others feathers and gaze into each others eyes and mum thought she was in heaven - snapping away like there is no tomorrow</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Had I said like theres no sun tomorrow it would have been so true!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So we have no real news or gossip to share but there are some lovely cute piccies - and mum got a fab video but it sadly will not upload on here so I think I heard say its gonna have to go on you tube and the link then shared on here - oh well - watch this space is all thats left to say!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">In fact I think I should just share with you whats happening in some of the photographs - mum put the baby ferret out in the run for an hour - fancy putting the run in front of me - I kept looking and licking my lips - DINNER - YUM YUM - well the ferret would climb the mesh and nibble at my talons so I would hiss and spit at it - but try as I might there was NO WAY I was ever going to manage to get hold of that white think that everyone seems to coo over!!! YAK - makes me sick! If there is a cutie anywhere round here ITS ME!!! And do not forget it!!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Nothing but leaves and branches</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Its me....tee hee...</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And this is how my great adventure came to be....</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">We were at a little fundraising event over in Routh East Yorkshire, everyone was there to set up - mum, dad, Andrew and Graham - the gazebo went up, chairs out and then all us birds made a grand entrance!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Graham had Casper his Harris Hawk - Andrew brought along Barney the 4 week old Barn Owl, then there was Gizmo and me.....</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Although not a lot of people were about to start off with they all made a beeline for us birds - and didn't we all love it!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl3vlq_ouHfzW5Y27SkErhPPePQ5hgxueimB7169pTxj82bU8LP22rIRax4fs0lyk6pV5aKRYkM0CuHgBI3Tedm5tb49Q_iMj6PXPk5rbrE3UTsw-J96zwYCwdMmvtm0lK-Kf0udkTAYc/s1600/DSC_0328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl3vlq_ouHfzW5Y27SkErhPPePQ5hgxueimB7169pTxj82bU8LP22rIRax4fs0lyk6pV5aKRYkM0CuHgBI3Tedm5tb49Q_iMj6PXPk5rbrE3UTsw-J96zwYCwdMmvtm0lK-Kf0udkTAYc/s320/DSC_0328.JPG" t$="true" width="210" /></a></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Well I started to show off as I do tend to try whenever there's an audience - and today's gathering was perfect! So I flapped about a bit while the spectators oohed and ahhhed - then I aimed to get up on dads shoulder - as I'm sure you all know, us birds love to get to the highest points whenever possible so a shoulder or better still a head is great - anyway - I landed on dads shoulder and flapped about again to keep peoples attention on me....</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Naturally dad went to calm me down a little - raised his right hand (birds are ALWAYS on the left hand - rarely any exceptions!) and at the same time I took flight - totally unexpected - and without warning I was up up and away!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">I did hear people say it was like something on TV in slow motion as I took flight and slowly my leash slipped from dads fist and rose up his shoulder - over his head - and too high to reach by the time it dawned on him or anyone quite what had happened!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Now I know I should have just flown around and come back - but no - I had to show off a little first - so what did I do?</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Flew up into the highest trees!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And sat and watched as dad, Andrew, Graham, mum and others stood below looking up, calling my name, whistling and generally looking shocked and nervous!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">I had no plans to come down too soon - I had a great view of everything and everywhere - but poor dad is beginning to worry - you could see it in his face - so after around 45 minutes he decided he had to go all the way back home and get his ladders and maybe some food to try tempt me with!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">All in all I think I was up there around 2 hours till Graham climbed to the top of the ladder and then climbed around 6ft up the tree - to rescue little old me....</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">The relief on dads face was a real picture I can tell you - I honestly think he had it in mind I was going to fly off and he wouldn't be able to find me again</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Does he think I'm stupid? I love my mum and dad - not to mention my buddy Gizmo - plus dad feeds me on yummy chicks - bugger having to hunt for my dinner - I'm good - but not that good!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-vdAoiRZx-anplS7vjSv7UUZ-mbyGM_TXbX_NQMjMqonBGjN9mEbO1tk_bC-2aZ9kOJRb8pbhLtdD0MEk86IzKhE7VKiGPiGa9RQsR1ZoncVXS765C8nYxCK087yGTgqvpblL2fOFlI/s1600/DSC_0332.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-vdAoiRZx-anplS7vjSv7UUZ-mbyGM_TXbX_NQMjMqonBGjN9mEbO1tk_bC-2aZ9kOJRb8pbhLtdD0MEk86IzKhE7VKiGPiGa9RQsR1ZoncVXS765C8nYxCK087yGTgqvpblL2fOFlI/s320/DSC_0332.JPG" t$="true" width="153" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look at the lovely Gizmo - he was such a good bird today!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br />

STILL</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">We had CASPER with us for around a week - but his dad came and collected him this evening - think dad was chuffed to swap the bird for a bottle of real ale lol</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And the other bird if Andrew's baby barn owl - he left him with us last Wednesday - and do you know my Mum has become really attached to him - and is snap happy with him....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Hey mum - what about me???</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So the baby - Barney - is growing at an alarming rate - his mum and dad asked that we get a photo every day for their album and mum hasn't let them down - yet!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">As hes only small - and young - he stays indoors all the time but everyone stops to talk to him and give him a stroke which he loves</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Its as I said before, with no news I just had to cut down on posts as they were pretty dull for me to tell and must surely have been the same for you readers!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">But I have photos to share with you of Gizmo and I - we really have become inseparable these days - its good to have a best friend though, I'm sure we are all agreed on that! The photos above were what mum took on Saturday as she was trying to get ready to go to a craft show - every morning we are so hungry so fly at everyone that dares to walk past whichi s why so many photos of me in flight!!! They arent particularly good photos but then it is MUM taking them!!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And some very sad news too....one of the baby barn owl friends SOVA from dads falconry course very sadly died - his mummy got up yesterday (Sunday 17th July) to find him on his back - very unexpected and naturally the family are devastated, they have been in touch with the breeder who has said she can have a new baby from the next clutch. SOVA was just 7 weeks old. As we know after having Sid then getting Polly, its never the same - they make look the same, go through the same process but their characters are so different and even now we still compare Sid and Polly as I'm sure Esta will with hers!!! This is a photo of SOVA that was taken at our fun day when he was just 5 weeks old.</span><br />

ME! ME! ha ha how naughty of me....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">The weather over the weekend has been dreadful hasn't it - so much rain - so us birds have been indoors and we have loved it!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Kai has been in the dining room so gets to see everyone and everything that goes on - he is really well behaved sat there looking regal....except when that white dog Fern is around - oh my word he does NOT like her at all so hisses and spits and goes off like a wild thing until she goes away...its not that she has ever done anything to him so maybe its from when he was with a previous owner....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Gizmo is a real odd ball as dad put him in the box - this is a purpose made bird box with a perch used to transport birds and cut done on stress, well Gizmo just loves it - he is a happy chappy sat on the perch whether hes watching whats going on, facing the wall or even with the door shut - and he does like to shred paper - dad keeps the box clean by using an A2 sheet of paper and Gizmo will sit on the floor and pull it to bits, then flick the pieces all over....he is so loved by everyone, its easy to see why isn't it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And I've been in the hallway - what an adventure that it too, its on the dark side which suits me great, people pass in and out but don't over bother me, I get to greet anyone knocking or visiting - its so funny when someone knows, I start clicking and when the door is open they start to talk and stop open mouthed when they see me....so even ask why do we have an owl in the hallway!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Last night there weather was pretty good so without warning dad decided it was flying lesson/attempt 2....I was taken out and perched on the fence while dad got himself sorted, he walked about 10 steps into the street then called me....nothing!! He tapped the glove which is how he gets my attention - nothing! He dangled the food above the glove which is his next resort when tapping hasn't worked - nothing! Clicked -nothing! whistled - nothing!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Come on dad - what do you expect? I get out there are there is just so much to see - maybe not for dad but for me - WOW - remember Ive only been here a couple of times before, I see the wind moving a bush or tree branch, a cat stalking up the street, the lights...its a huge excitement - and then you all know, I have the concentration span of a gnat.....maybe next time eh dad?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So it was just like the last time, indoors and I flew the full length of downstairs to get to the food - yum yum, I really was hungry - just nosier than hungry this time dad - sorry!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">These last photos are of Gizmo who decided to jump in the bath of water outside just before been brought in a few days ago - he was taken to the craft room for mum to see and of course settled happily on the back of her chair for an hour till he went off in search of the glitter and papers - in fact anything to chew that he wasnt meant to chew!!! Doesnt he look cute though....</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Well as ever nothing new has happened except - wait for it - I have had my first attempt at flying outdoors!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">It was late last night - the weather was perfect, my weight was about right - and there was nobody around - the chatty neighbour who normally only nods in passing but wants to get into a conversation when hes had a drink was already home so no fear of his disturbing me again!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">So, it was just dad and me - even mum stayed out the way just so I could fully concentrate on the task ahead.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Dad sat me on the fence - as its a hooped metal decorative top I was comfortable as it wasnt a million miles away from what my perch is like really - and dad started walking away....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">OH NO - was this really it? Dad had got fed up with me and was leaving me....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Hang on - why would he walk away - surely he would have - well never mind, lets not go down that route - I guess I was letting my panic over take me.... phew that could have been my worst nightmare....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Anyway after he had walked around 15 or so steps he stopped, turned round and dangled the chick above the glove....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">AND????</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">The he sort of jangled the chick, whistled to me, called out Polly a few times, made hissing sounds like I make - and guess what happened???</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">I just sat there watching him, so he moved 4 or 5 steps closer to me - and tried again - nothing - another few steps closer - and still nothing!!! In fact he walked right up to me and all I wanted was that chick for free and a fuss up - I didnt get either I have to add....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Dad wasnt best chuffed as you can imagine so chuntering to himself he took me back indoors and sat me on the kitchen worktop before walking through to the didning room - to which I flew and followed... he told me straight that was what I was supposed to have done outside!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Never mind, I did a few good indoor flights for him and was rewarded with food - and there is always next time.....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Mum and dad were talking about me, and dad said he can see its going to take a long long time for me to be ready to go on my first real outing - hunting!!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;">Watch this space for Polly's next adventure!!</span></div>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383528249128197582.post-28854306180429874082011-07-07T23:10:00.000+01:002011-07-07T23:10:38.947+01:00Day 92<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello and welcome to a little update - its Thursday 7th July 2011 - not many people know that!!! LOL</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And thats the update! NOT</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Sorry - just feeling in a silly mood....does it show?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Thought I should tell you about what happened last night - I'm pretty sure you will all be interested....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">DISASTER!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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,....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">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!!!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Its been another long hot sunny day here in Hull and Gizmo and I have spent it out in the garden, not on our own I hasten to add!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Layton stayed over last night and today he and mum were busy cleaning out the ferret hutches - I was so close to those hutches - and oh how I hoped either Layton would be a good boy and bring one to me - or the hutch would be left open so the ferret would escape - my mouth waters even now just thinking about it - I have to say - it didn't happen - Layton was extremely careful both with the animals and securing their hutches!!! Maybe next time then....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZhmi4QvGgcnDBzzWPDFlx168o9z_KnD2dprRTuv-C75Mri0zNd_o667Yh0O_ofXU2SCTX8GrmL4hJs3KPC-GByeffDaP22qbDhkkuNAWZ_u_SrhlI6AqNCRNBIJAmgQI2Tv82SbyWgC0/s1600/IMGP1617.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZhmi4QvGgcnDBzzWPDFlx168o9z_KnD2dprRTuv-C75Mri0zNd_o667Yh0O_ofXU2SCTX8GrmL4hJs3KPC-GByeffDaP22qbDhkkuNAWZ_u_SrhlI6AqNCRNBIJAmgQI2Tv82SbyWgC0/s320/IMGP1617.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So with the work all done the garden chairs were positioned to catch the most sun and then out came all the toys for Layton - he has what I can only describe as a monster truck - its a huge great yellow thing - and he shows all the signs of road rage when charging up and down the garden path - Gizmo and I look like we are cats watching a tennis game as our heads go this way ad that watching him zoom past - so close that our feathers fan in the draft - ok so that's a big exaggeration</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">That is about all the news for today - unless you are interested in Kai - he did a Hawk Walk today for some people and we were told he was really good and performed to perfection for the crowd - so well done to Kai!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello again - remember me - Polly the Barn Owl?? Seems to have been ages since I was last on but the truth is my days were the same over and over again - I was pretty bored with doing the same thing so you must have been bored reading pretty much the same all the time...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So mum and i decided it would be better to just share my day with you when I did something a little different - that way I enjoy sharing my adventure and hopefully make you smile reading it!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">The thing mum was unsure about in doing the blog this way was the day thing - should she run it on so this post would have been day 85 or just name it as the actualy day - as you will see, we decided it was teh actualy day so welcome to day 87 lol</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Now you are probably sat there waiting to read what made today different for me...so let me tell you - are you sitting comfortable? Then I will begin.....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">It was the long awaited funday at the community building mum and dad help to run - and along with all the normal fun day things like tombola, carboot, cake stall, food, kiddies games etc there was a Bird Of Prey garden....yep thats right - garden!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">In the garden were some of my lovely friends - so let me introduce you to them.....</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">This is me - Polly - teehee - did you guess it was me then? lol</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And of course my bestest buddy Gizmo the Tawny Owl....isnt he looking good these days too....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRaxOArWVAH_NpAgSjwQIpLS6cf9TQCguObf8fLwD6ALomWyQnBBKHMzT1kdx7oJZUbyEJwLpB3awZQG8D8mndTdJ8Jp3Pu9splzymQ65mBvAni7iE-Pt6D9Or5ke2ejRqeLgA0_wowc/s1600/IMGP1567.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRaxOArWVAH_NpAgSjwQIpLS6cf9TQCguObf8fLwD6ALomWyQnBBKHMzT1kdx7oJZUbyEJwLpB3awZQG8D8mndTdJ8Jp3Pu9splzymQ65mBvAni7iE-Pt6D9Or5ke2ejRqeLgA0_wowc/s320/IMGP1567.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">This is another Harris Hawk like our Kai - but this is Casper - he is a stunning bird, really well behaved - his mum and dad have only had him a few weeks but he has so settled in its like he has been with them for always!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And now we have one of the young Barn Owls - cor blimey its an ugly thing - was I really like that once? I dont think so - after all I am beautiful so surely I couldnt have looked like that - please tell me I didnt???? This owl is called SOVA which is Russian for OWL and is just 5 weeks old.... Sorry Esta, but one day soon that ugly baby will grow into a stunner like me - well almost like me cos Im the best there is lol</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">We did have a 2nd baby Barn Owl but it arrived later so mum didnt get the chance to take a photo of it - but that one was around 7 or 8 weeks I believe - will get mum to get a photo on Tuesday when we all go to the falconry class</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So back to our day out - we had a wonderful time - with lots of visitors who ohhhed and ahhhed over us all - naturally I was the STAR of the show - and I played shy which all went in my favour as people then spent more time watching me and talking to me - which is how it should be - I dont mind other birds been there as long as I am number 1....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Have to say, I think us birds were responsible for most of the visitors that turned up at the funday as who would want to stay at home when you have the chance to see and touch real live birds of prey!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Thank you for reading - lets hope it wont be too long before Im back on again.....</span>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383528249128197582.post-84273999253575557642011-06-29T22:55:00.001+01:002011-06-29T22:56:21.995+01:00Day 84<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oooppsss yet again we are running behind - maybe it would be better to ...oh whatever!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Well TUESDAY which should be day 84 I think turned out to be a great day - not the same old same old kind of day at all....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Well in a lot of ways it was the same - up and weighed - stats all logged - fly for food - and back - and again, and again - all absolutely perfect I must add....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Then it was in the garden for the day - I did hear dad say if the rain came we would be going back in - but it was on the whole an ok day weather wise with just the odd light shower or two</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">It was dads falconry course so he decided to take Kai and me along this week which I have to say was unusual, but then dad knows best!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Couldnt believe it when people started arriving - it was like Barn Owl city - and I mean that!!! I did used to be the only one - now most of the falconers in training have a baby barn owl....at different ages too!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Really cannot believe I was once that small - and that ugly too!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And what a treat - Kai wasnt the only Harris Hawk either - there was Casper who is around the same age as Kai....it was great been with as many birds as people for a change!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Then dad suggested we have a walk to the fields and watch the Harris Hawks flying - it was met with great excitement - especially from Caspers owners - oh and what a sight it was too</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Us barn owls fly so gracefully and of course silently which is a treat for anyone to watch - but to watch a Harris swoop and swoon really is something else!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Dad does something called a HAWK WALK EXPERIENCE - this is where he walks across fields and Kai simply flies and does his own thing but literally follows only a few feet behind dad.....amazing!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Ah yes - Monday 27th June 2011 - mum managed it after all - seems the sun didnt go to her head as I feared - wonder why not cos the sun went everywhere else!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Today has been another very plain and ordinary day - the sooner I get the chance to learn proper outdoor flying the better as far as Im concerned</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">There has to be more to my days than wake up - fly to the scales - yippee not put weight on - fly to the glove for 1st piece of chick - cast back to the scales - fly back to glove and so on until I have eaten my fill!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Out in the garden today it was so hot and uncomfortable - even the ferrets stayed in their beds rather than sit tormenting me - they run up their cage door back flip to the floor and start all over again - what I wouldnt do to get the chance to ..... well its not going to happen is it - unless the cage door is left open for a ferret to do a runner - and of course I would have to be unleashed in order to fly to it - and....whats wrong with me?

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Can you believe despite her coming on witht he aim of catching up and keeping things right - she missed a day again....what is she like?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">But this time we CAN blame the sunshine....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So - its SUNDAY - hot and sunny - and I was such a good barn owl!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Dad walked to the kitchen - I flew to him - yeah!! Success - believe me he was a happy chappie!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So it was weighing time - I have stayed the same weight for around a week now - I did hear mum comment on how all females wish it was like that!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">I did 4 or 5 lovely flights to the glove for my food - each time dad took 3 or 4 steps back so I was actually flying a fair way really - and oh it did feel good.....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">All too soon it was time to go out in the garden with the other birds - but heck it was a hot un!!! I couldnt believe the heat - and mum just sat reading all day long - just glad my beautiful feathers didnt change to the colour of her skin!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Throughout the day I was moved so that I was shaded from the sunshine - if you've ever seen a bird panting through the sun, you will know its not a pretty sight!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And I just kept hoping for rain - normally I would hate it but a spot of water would have been very welcome - oh well, time to use the bird bath I reckon.....there's a first I can tell you!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Thats all for Sunday's news my friends.....</span>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383528249128197582.post-84492052960346191942011-06-26T18:29:00.000+01:002011-06-26T18:29:15.915+01:00Day 81<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh no - we are behind yet again!!! Would like to have blamed the weather but it wasnt hot and sunny yesterday so mum wasnt outside!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So lets just IMAGINE its still Saturday....what news do I have to tell you....ermmm, probably not a lot again but here goes...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Dad went off with a lady from the falconry course - she was going to collect her very own 4 week old Barn Owl</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">She had asked dad to go with her as she was going to where I came from - and as dad has had 2 owls from the same breeders he jumped at the chance to go and catch up...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Billy & Diane live in Wigan and they are my very special mummy and daddy - I can say that because had it not been for them keeping a close eye on my barn owl mum and dad, I doubt I would have been here to share my blog with you....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">You see my mum rejected the eggs - so my dad kept us all warm until we started to hatch - well that was the plan but mum had other ideas - she bullied poor dad and did everything she could to get dad out the way - sadly most of the clutch died - well they all died - except me!! Billy & Diane saw what was happening - they have CCTV in the avery - so when it looked as though mum was going to let me die too I was taken out and Diane spent all her time feeding and caring for me - keeping me warm and healthy - so a huge THANK YOU to both Billy & Diane...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Back to my day then - it was just about the same really - up and weighed - had my morning feed then outside for the fresh air with the other birds</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Nicky, Vicky & Layton visited so they all came out to see me - for some reason Layton isnt keen on me - in fact there is a real fear in his eyes when he comes close or I flap my wings yet he goes to Gizmo and happily strokes and even has kissed him....strange child!!! How can he prefer that grey fat thing to me..... the mind boggles I must say!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Well my friends - I did say nowt much had happened - so heres Polly signing off for another session - see you all again later with todays news!!!!</span>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383528249128197582.post-52593949139118411152011-06-24T22:05:00.000+01:002011-06-24T22:05:34.768+01:00Day 80<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello again my trusted friends!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And how has life treated you all today? Good I do hope.....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">As for me - just perfect - have to say....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Nothing out of the ordinary has happened in fact the day was almost like every other day - but for some reason I feel happy today!!!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Mum let Gizmo out of his box this morning and I think he had his naughty head on today,.... to start with he flew up from his box to land on the outer edge of the lid so the whole lot went flying in the air and he landed flat on the floor - it was sooo funny from where I was perched!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So mum battled to get into him, picked him up and put him on his perch - he obviously had other ideas cos as mum went to the kitchen he flew straight to her - and scared her half to death if her squeal was anything to go by - lol!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">In order mum could do what she was trying to do she had to feed Gizmo - we all know that mum likes to THINK she is brave - in reality she is far from it as she cannot bear to cut up the chicks for us which is why dad feeds us almost all the time - but cos there were some mice out for us for today she was happy to feed Gizmo on a mouse - but dont think she was prepared for how hungry us birds are first thing in a morning - Gizmo literally snatched the mouse from mum and it was gone in one gulp!!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So she fed him another and he took just long enough for her to get a few photos for you all....even though this is MY blog not his!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">After Gizmo had finished his breakfast it was my turn - and I too had a feast but this time it was dad who cut up chicks for me - and of course I have to fly to get my food - thats the difference between me and Gizmo - I will be used for hunting when I am bigger, stronger and more experienced whereas Gizmo is just a lovable pet of mums that goes to shows and gets peoples attention!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">All us birds did spend the day outside but not until dad had used the strimmer to get rid of the over grown grass and weeds from the small side garden - the weather was perfect today for outdoor lounging around.....</span><br />

<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Welcome to the world of Polly....again! lol</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Same old same old same old - thats just the start of the day - weighed and fed and put out on the block....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">At the time of been put outside it was a nice enough kind of day - bit of sunshine and a light breeze - so comfortable for me - and I suppose for Gizmo and Kai too!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Then mid afternoon the heavens opened - there were huge long flashes that filled the black sky followed almost instantly by the loudest blood curdling bangs of thunder - I dont mind letting you all know - I was scared stiff!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Not only was it rain, but huge great balls of ice too - and believe me they hurt as they rained down on us birds!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Now as a rule a few spots of rain and dad shoots out to bring us in - only this afternoon both he and mum were out - so we sat there and waited.....admitted it wasnt for long till dad got home....but it really was cold, wet, noisy and horrible!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">By this time the bad weather had passed over and the sun was out again so we all spread wide our wings and let the sunshine warm us and dry us in the process....it was heavenly!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Dad was in and out for an hour - think he was considering taking us in earlier than usual but in the end decided against it....which we didnt mind cos from teatime on there is always lots of noise and people passing by the gate so we have a nosey at them....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Without real warning though, the rain came again, followed by what we heard say was thunder and lightening - none of us like that stuff so hoping this was a one off!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Again nobody took us in - we know dad had gone out so thought any minute now mum will rescue us - she will - we know she will - but she didnt!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">If only she had taken pictures - we were so wet it would have been difficult for you to actually say what the photos were of as our feathers stick solidly to us so we all looked as though we were bald!!! Luckily we didnt have to stay out for too long so now we are indoors again having been fed and put onto a perch to dry off!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">We are now hoping for NO MORE RAIN - phew - its a big big hope though isnt it??</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Thats all for this tale people - be back again tomorrow with more news and gossip from Barn Owl Diary</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Nighty Night</span>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383528249128197582.post-35366079446475736052011-06-23T00:15:00.000+01:002011-06-23T00:15:58.799+01:00Day 78<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello again - doesn't seem 10 minutes since I said goodbye to you all - oops maybe that's cos it isn't!!!! lol </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Silly mum....sillier me....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Today has been totally uneventful I have to say - same old things...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Was up and quite vocal very early - think it was a mix of mum coming down at stupid o'clock again unable to sleep - and then the light mornings and sound of the birds outside - someone needs to either buy them a decent alarm clock or just tell them its only 4am so we dont want bird song yet thank you very much</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Like I said, I was myself quite vocal - and no matter where mum stepped I flew at her - shame at times that my leash isnt quite long enough for me to reach the wall - so mum slides along it - in relative safety!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Gizmo was jumping up and down like a nutter in his box - its so loud as he hits the lid which jumps and crashes back down - cos the house is so quite it does come across so loud....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">When dad was up and ready we were taken into the kitchen, weighed and then fed with a measly amount of chick!!! Now we are both growing so much our food intake is reduced drastically </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">After feed time its outside and on the block for the day - it was wet and windy at times which I hate - don't like rain at all!!! Gizmo and Kai certainly weren't fazed by it though....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Once safely back in doors this evening I had to do a few shorted flights to the glove for the last food of the day....because there were no distractions like mum or the dogs, I did a few controlled flights so dad and I ended the day on a high....</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">That's all folks....</span>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383528249128197582.post-62781529001680459172011-06-23T00:02:00.000+01:002011-06-23T00:02:40.116+01:00Day 77<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Opps a daisy - we are a day behind again!!! Silly mum - she clean forgot to do this on Tuesday - so we are playing catch up again</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Although we are on Wednesday 22nd June - please imagine if you will, that it is still Tuesday 21st June and the longest day....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Tonight dad took me to his falconry course and I was again star of the show - or so I like to think!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">One guy actually brought in his very young baby barn owl - hard to imagine not so long ago I was so like that one - quite ugly with white fluffy down that doesnt quite cover the pink skin.....but we all grow into beautiful Barn Owls that everyone then ohhs and ahhs o</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">ver and wants to hold and stroke - and I for one love all that attention!!! But who wouldnt??</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So at the course I had the chance to show off - I have been flying to the glove for food for a while now - when I am in the mood I have to add - so this was it - do it right anf have everyone in the room comment how how clever I am - or fail due to lack of interest and put up with the negative comments that really would follow</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Dad had a slither of food held between his thumb and finger - and as soon as he lifted his gloved hand I flew to him - a silent flight of around 12 feet - and I felt on top of the world - I could hear all the gasps as I skimmed above people - it really was an amazing feeling for me - and I do hope amazing sight for others!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">I could sense the pride dad felt - he had the biggest smile plastered across his face - and between us we did this flight several times.....the only real regret was there were no videos or photographs to share - it would have been a moment to capture for ever!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">There is always next time - cos the flights will get longer and longer - and as I improve then they will be quieter too!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">So thats it for now....hope you felyt the excitement in reading this as people did on seeing it!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Bye my friends</span>AngMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14692342848328571812noreply@blogger.com0
