MJ's little flock

Right.

Shall we limit ourselves to 3 teas each? If three of us do it, there'll be 9 teas to taste.

I'm not sure I have anything you would like. I'm a tea neophyte and certainly not worldly. Of course you could be talking about someone other than me.

Time for another facepalming panda because I dropped and broke all four eggs that were laid today by hanging the egg basket on a branch and almost immediately knocking it down with my shoulder.

What a tragedy.

Great mug!

Taking a moment during lunch to say Janet's beak trim went well. Her top beak is now the same size as her lower beak.

Dr Mark held her head, looked carefully, looked again, then used his proper vet snippers on it. It was over in moments. He thought anaesthesia was disproportionate to the problem. Fair enough, he knows more about beaks than I do.

Since then, Jan has been relearning her beak.

The first day she was using the angled approach she developed when her beak was overgrown, and taking a long time to pick up a pellet. The second day she dropped the angled approach but she was taking a few attempts before getting close enough to pick anything up. Today is her third day and when I threw down a pellet for her this morning, she picked it up with normal dexterity.

On the whole, I'd say it was a successful intervention.

Wonderful news. Amazing how they need to adapt after a change like that.

I didn't mention it because people often assume instruction is necessary and it irks me when I'm already doing everything by the book.

I truly understand this feeling.

I was talking to you and RC

The sampling of unknown teas will be a very fun adventure!

We're unlikely to agree on which tea was best because our palates are so different. So don't feel shy Bob!

What a tragedy.

I was so disappointed in myself.

She's doing great! Her dexterity seemed normal this morning, so that's it. No more tables for one, it's all about the communal banqueting for Janet now

I truly understand this feeling.

It's irksome, isn't it!

How old is she?
