Well December 2006 comes quickly, we lost our beloved trees outside our lounge window for of all things "Enviroment improvements!!!!!!!"???
Didn't enjoy seeing them chopped down at all.
It is also been a year since we lost John and Paul our zebra finches from the original group (named after Beatley things) and of course we had already lost Madge (gaining Donna) and Arrow later this year and then Emerald.
Brighter news is that Bert, Davy and either a female budgie by the name of Debbie but more probably Tiffany looks sure to fly in and join us. Happy Christmas! We hope!

We have last week been to BirdWorld and Marwell Zoo(with Myles) even if most was on short term winter hours and we had stormy winds before Sunday's Marwell zoo visit leaving them without electricity (but we did eventually get a coffee before leaving earlish.)

Music wise we've been enjoying The Who's new "Endless Wire" album, Bert's albums (with Pentangle and John Redbournes material) , Donovan, Vashti Bunyan, Samantha Murphy and Mike Schmid (he has a Christmas limited edition ep available via his site; sounds great!! quite cheap too (under a fiver-just! inc p&p from USA)
Yusuf's "An Other Cup" is a great album along with back catalogue. The Beatles new "Love" show cd is fantastic mix to listen too -leaves me on an "up".
Paula's been playing Debbie Gibson and Tiffany albums i bought her in October (back catalohgue) and plenty of classical music has hit our turntable ,including Paul McCartney's classical cd.

Football's been great ,even if Paula's Liverpool lost 3-2 in Europe tonight!!!
(City drew 0-0 to Watford in the Premiership last night- both on tv!
the Derby on Saturday too! Come on City!!!

So for now ( unless we get concrete'd over for "enviromental reasons")......
We'll be seeing you!!! (yes ANEW DAY Magazine would be nice too!)

Ps the photo was taken whilst visiting Blue Reef Aquarium at Southsea (photo literally by the sea wall) ...Annual membership is very worth it!!!
Pss My Dad would have been celebrating his and my late mum's 53rd Wedding Aniversary today...to end on a sad note!
Concret don't float!!! but don't let 'em brick you in!!-eh!
