Well, i thought since you have all met Charlie, that i should introduce you to the other members of our family.

There is Winnie, a cheeky red/tan staffy, who is 8yrs of age.

She is so very clever and able to scale 6ft high chain-link mesh fencing. Hates thunder storms and is our little weather warner! She loves to just be with you, lounging around inside. She also loves to get out and run, run, run…

Then there is Mallikai, our burmese cross cat, he is 4yrs old.

Actually thinks he is human and the boss of the household. Very affectionate and loving, unless you don’t give him what he wants ~ then he can turn into Mr Nasty, biting and scratching the nearest body part (mostly with me however, being the main care provider)

And lastly, is our youngest boy Eddie, who will be 3yrs in April 08.

He is also a staffy, white with a big black patch over one eye. He is Mr laid back, Mr Cruzy. Nothing phases him, couldn’t care less about thunder (apart from the fact that he attempt to console Miss Winnie) until Miss Winnie scales the fence and he is left alone in the run ~ then he lets us know he is not okay. He is a real Mummies boy, and even when we take him for a run off leash, he never strays far from my side.

These guys, and Charlie, are very much our family and all get along really well, like most family members though, there have been some conflicts over the years!! Winnie has been a part of Meg’s life since she was 18mths, so Meg considers her, her sister…

I am so excited, Steve (my gorgeous husband) bought me tickets to see Deva Premal and Miten live and it is tomorrow night! I have had the pleasure of attending one of their concerts previously in February 07.

It was such a beautiful, peaceful and exhilerating experience, I am so looking forward to experiencing this again. Steve has not been before, last time Meg and I went with my Aunt and her daughter, so i am excited for him too.

We used Deva and Miten’s music for our wedding in July 07 and it was amazing. It created the beautiful spiritual connected energy that we desired for this ritual in our lives. It is an evening we treasure forever.

For those of you not familiar with Deva Premal and Miten visit their website and experience the peace and tranquility of their music.

From the lovely Kelli’s blog and now my turn to continue the thread of connection.

The first three people to comment on this post will receive a gift from me, sometime within the next 365 days.
Who knows when it will turn up, or what it will be, but rest assured, it will arrive.

All you have to do is promise to make the same declaration on your blog, and send out gifts to three of your lovely readers.
Easy Peasy.

I wanted to share with you this fabulous new magazine for pre-teen and teen girls called, Indigo. It is taking the lead in providing a magazine which has a primary focus on supporting young girls to feel good about themselves. Promoting positive body image, self esteem and the power within.

On Friday 1st February, Indigo Magazine featured on the program A Current Affair. Click Here to be taken to A Current Affair’s website and the Indigo story.

If you know young girls and women, why not introduce them to Indigo. In our society full of super thin models, too much focus on body size and image, and the endless subliminal pressure for girls to “conform” I believe Indigo is a breath of fresh air!

Well Charlie has well and truly settled into his new home. I don’t think he realises what a lucky budgie he is. His daily routine consists of; waking Meg up each morning with his cheerful chirping, being let out of his cage to stretch his wings in Meg’s room, visiting Steve and i in our room and travelling downstairs on Meg’s shoulder to explore the lounge and kitchen while we all have breakfast.

After breakfast Meg the cleaner takes his “house” outside for it’s daily cleanse, new paper on the floor, removal of all old seed, replenishment of seed and fresh water. Then a bit of rest time back in the “house” while Meg does some project tasks.

Lunch time usually coincides with another stretch of wings out of his house, flying free and fast from window ledge to window ledge, chirping with the birds outside. Landing on Meg’s shoulder while she works on school stuff, and helping her by picking up her pens!

Today, he also enjoyed landing on the fresh basil in the vase and having a peck. Then as i was filling the vase with water he hoped on the jug and helped himself to a drink as i was pouring. He liked it so much he decided to then hop in the vase and have a bit of a splash, coming out sopping wet, but obviously delighted. After a bit of a shake, he flew to the window sill and perched on top of a photo frame in the sun to dry off.

Then back to his house for another snooze and a bite to eat.

We took a trip to Shepparton today and Meg had some money to purchase some items for Charlie. She chose a colourful wooden ladder with beads and a stainless steel spike to thread fresh fruit on like a kebab to hang in Charlie’s house.

What a spoilt bird!
