| A friend sent me this - kites galore! |
There are times when I get very tired of people asking
for concessions, can we get in cheaper, can we have a discount, do I have to
pay if I am disabled, a student, a green goblin and so on. It would be so nice
if for a change some people did not constantly want something for nothing. It
has been a difficult few days, a whole ton of things nearly went wrong on
Sunday, a meeting on Monday that should have been at 11.00am was put at 2.00pm
and half of us knew and half did not and to cape it all I managed to miss my
dentist appointment, which I thought was 2.45pm, and having just rearranged the
whole 2.00pm flying demonstration, I discovered it was 10.40 and I missed it.
So I am feeling decidedly grumpy and if I get another phone call about bloody
advertising I may just scream!
On second thoughts the green goblin might get a
discount but only if he or she can do magic!
The next few months are so hectic it is not true, I
have three trips abroad – two vulture ones and one conference in Spain, Holly
is going to Costa Rica with Ben for a monitoring trip, we have courses, new
birds to train, none of the birds have gone to Duncombe yet so we are really
stretched and I am looking forward to December!!
However all the young birds are coming on now, the
weather has been and is today quite glorious again, reminding me how much I
love the Autumn.
Interesting to see that the press surrounding our
Royal Family are as pleasant and human as ever, I have to say that I do
consider them to be the scum of the earth with their panting tongues and long
lenses desperate to get a picture that they think might put our Royals in the
limelight for something that is mostly totally private. As I am of the school that
consider they killed Princess Diana, I have never liked them, but it seems that
their appalling behaviour continues unabated, regardless. Even the BBC report
ended today by saying ‘our future queen topless’ which I thought was
purposefully done, when he could have said ‘a young woman privately sunbathing
like millions of other young women – shame on you man. Although I suspect that paparazzi
don’t understand the word shame. As for the Editors, they should have slightly
more morals and brain, but again, they show their true colours.
Anabelle is back from Mauritius, and so she can take
over her birds again, which is nice, they are both going very well,
particularly the Kite, and they will be going up to Duncombe when all is ready.
Adam Jon and Tash were up there this week getting big perches in the aviaries.
I will go up when I get back from India with Simon, Mike and I are going up to
get on with the landscaping, at least he will landscape with a machine and I
will help! Sally and I were thinking of going on a two day riding trip, but I
just can’t fit it in this year, which is sort of a shame. But my riding is
improving which is very nice. We have changed the shape of Art’s field back to
how it was when I left, there is almost nothing now that I have not returned to
how it should be, which is a nice feeling. Although very soon I am going to
have to start to do some work on the windows in the house as they are looking a
little sad.
Amazingly we see Owl Evenings looming up, I can’t
believe how quickly the time goes these days. And Hemp has not even finished
moulting. Still my Sparrowhawk is improving by the day!
