I’m doing a happy dance because we are now able to show our photos again. The photo shows the cockatoo mug that I bought for the people who have a much-loved sulphur-crested cockatoo. We bought it at the Christmas shop which I also wrote about. It was our second time looking after Jim, the cockatoo, Dixie the dog and three horses. Hopefully they’ll another holiday at some time and we’ll be asked back again.

The Mug looks well made and good. I too might have got such a Mug. Here we get some with Indian Motifs of Elephants, Camels etc. Are you back at your home at Rockingham as of now? Aussies have a tough match ahead vs South Africa in the ODI Cricket World Cup. That could be a tough duel.

@JudyEv So that means quite a lot of photographs and a couple of new posts here?

@JudyEv Sounds good enough to keep you busy and happy over the next few days. How is Australia doing inflation wise?

Yes, we're home again. We have a horse ride to attend in a fortnight where we'll be away for a night. It's not a regular endurance ride but a marathon where teams or individuals compete in five disciplines - running, swimming, canoeing, riding and cycling.

That is a neat mug. Is this the cockatoo that swears? They show some on video that are mouthing off big time, when they hear they have to go to the vet. It is really pretty funny. They are muttering under the breath....cursing and what not.

This one doesn't swear. People seem to like to teach them to swear but the birds certainly seem to know when to use bad language.

@Fleura We had four days away with no internet but I was getting a bit despondent before that. So many of my posts rely on a photo in a way.

That's a serious-looking cockatoo. Give a kiss (and an Apple Wafer) to each of the horses for me.

@JudyEv I ate a part of one once. It tasted pretty bland to me. They are popular horse treats here.
