Sparkey & Emerald came out for a fly today, Jimi & Donna chose to look on, this caused great excitement with the other birds. They were flying about the living room, for about an hour.

The photo of Sparkey on the finches cage is getting to be a regular shooting spot- by me of the budgies whilst out. (there's a pencil drawing version and a different photo(s) of Emerald in the same spot. The pictures are of a mature Donovan (autographed & sent to me by Donovan, kindly) Durham Cathedral & John Lennon captured in West Germany in a Hamburg doorway (aka Rock'n Roll cover picture).

Steve Marley, an up and coming musician (with band) -New single "Believe"-actually he said was an E.P...more value for money (Buy,Buy,Buy!) recently played Guildfest (appartently Donovan played too) -came as an Ntl engineer and fixed the cable box attatched to my tv. He fixed my Dad's recentlly too. Well done Steve-not often you have a celeb fix your tv at home(s).
