Bird saga 6, romantic winter, fambly stuff The laughing dove has a MATE! I was chatting with my brother yesterday about how everybody we know is divorced or single Not if you're a bird at our love motel :) I didn't see our white spectacled bulbul friends, too early But the new wild pigeon couple ate at the feeders together There were so many little one sparrows and I had fun saying girl girl boy girl boy boy girl girl Shared biscuits and tea with baba, who was trying to show me his very scientific dipping technique And I shared my bird research He told me people used to eat sparrows, it was called bagafeega I tried to suppress the horror on my face They will probably be a source of protein again in this economy He said they'd hunt them with nets when they slept There was another earthquake over a wider region yesterday and some people in Egypt felt it We didn't feel anything My aunt said she did The big family dinner turned into a brunch and we're supposed to head over with rice in a bit There's a shortage I'm grateful we can feed birds and eat together I'm not going to wash my hair, too cold and tired Have to bring meds and hot water bottle with me The teens/early 20s won't be there so I can be awkward, woohoo! And the baby of the family has a third grade exam coming up My schizophrenic uncle is trying to be more social (he usually cancels), but my aunt always tries to arrange something when he expresses interest Lots of fussing and love when he can make it I'll try to power nap |
