Cheeky girl loves her art

Soph has always enjoyed art and craft and is now doing graphic design GCSE and really enjoying it. She's really creative and comes up with some great designs. She and I keep talking about doing some painting together. In half term I'm going to start a painting for TBone - I haven't done any painting for years - shame on me - and I'm hoping Soph will do some with me. She seems very interested that I love art and seems as proud of her mum's work as I am of hers! There are many artists in my family so I'm really pleased Soph is keeping the tradition alive.

Polly and I today

Got to see my little Polly today ... Just look at her now!

Breaking news .... Polly stepped up today

But not on me as she has gone to live with TBone and her Hermy. Well done TBone, you Dr Doolittle! Polly - you are a little star! Well done little one! Xxx

Polly update 2

I had I post this - how lovely is this to see - Polly with her Herman and T-Bone!

What a star she is, and well done T-Bone :))))) xxxxx

Polly Update!

Breaking news ... Polly has climbed onto TBone's shoulder from her stick in the last hour and stayed there for ages!!!! What a fantastic moment to see .. ! She looks so happy and relaxed. She is definitely well on the way to becoming a tame cockatiel!

Polly

Today I bid farewell to Polly who has gone to live with TBone, Herman, Charlie and TBone. My decision but nice for Hermy that he will have some cockatiel company. She has come on so well in the past month since she's had her wings clipped and now a flutter away from taming up - and if anyone can tame her I think Tbone can! She is a beautiful bird and much more relaxed now so I am hoping that she will be happy with Herman - I'm sure she will - I felt really mean taking her away from him before, so hopefully they will get on great and be company for each other. I'll still see her so its not like she's gone forever. Bless little Polly xx

Buddy Greco - The Lady is a Tramp [Live @ Later with Jools Holland] [HD]

This week has been a great week at the Concorde Club, and I am now a member whoop whoop!  Thank you so much Brian!!! xx I had the pleasure of seeing Buddy Greco on Wednesday - what a legend!!! Absolutely loved the evening, he was a real star, 86 years young and still bringing the house down with his music and charm.  A great evening of music, and I didn't realise I would know all of them already.

Then last night I went to see Gwen Dickey, formerly lead singer of Rose Royce back in the 1970s.  She was amazing, such a strong powerful voice and she didn't look any different from all those years ago!  She was a lovely lady too and hung around for ages afterwards just chatting to all and having her photo taken with anyone that wished to.  A really lovely girl.

So, a great week musically..... so enjoy some Buddy Greco

Rocko settles in

Rocko has been here a week now and what a little character he is!!  He chats away to the other cockatiels, whistles, wolf whistles and generally makes me laugh out loud!  What a funny little bird he is!  He was very quiet at the weekend when we were away, and I can only think that he was missing his new friends, although he did have Herman for company.  He was a bit wary of the conures and hissed at them!  He is very photogenic, although he was quite sleepy at the weekend so it was difficult to take some good ones.  I did get a few photos though, and here are some of my favourites:
