Dear Angie,
I think that is a great idea to keep a diary.
For the headaches only though….
I used to hate filling in my diary because I was such a boring person..
But for headaches I would detail every day.
That way you could know exactly
How
When
Why
Where…
Each and what type of headache/ migraine you are experiencing.
Each may come with a different solution and you can show your doctor how to treat you by the way your symptoms occur…
Just a thought …
(that got way out of hand ) sorry I just want you to be ok.
I can’t help but ramble on these days..???
I don’t know what it is but my words don’t make much sense lately and neither do my thoughts….

Yes you do make sense. Don't underestimate you ever. Preacher teach thyself. I sometimes feel the same way lately but if they don't know what you're talking about maybe it's on them.

The weather here wasn't great - not as windy, but still cold and showery - Zola didn't get a walk this afternoon, though of course we went to look at the sea in the morning. He had a good stroke and cuddle by the fire this afternoon, though - he scrabbled about on me for about 3 minutes, then remembered what we were there for, and settled down !
Our robin is coming back to Richard for mealworms much more often again now -we had been worried that he might have died, for a while - he is very aggressive about it really- not friendly ,like he used to be.(We do know it is the same robin, by the way he reacts to things, though !) I think this is a difficult time for them, though, and we don't mind how he behaves, as long as he gets some food in his tiny stomach ! We have lots of sparrows on our feeders at the moment - at one time we never saw any, and we know they are becoming rarer -however, we have loads!
I have sent off my consent form for the Ajovy - I think it may come quite soon.
Sue, does your sister have to fill in a diary about her headache frequency - and what are the migraine prevention meds you mentioned ? Sorry to bother you, but I don't know anyone else I can ask !
The weather might be a bit better here tomorrow - I hope you all have a good day.
Love from from Angie xxxxxxx and Zola xxxxxxxxx

My brother that I think I told you about that takes magnesium has a list of food that he's not supposed to eat.

Good morning everyone!

I've decided to leave the bathroom scales in Jacky's enclosure for a short while.

I cradled her earlier before we said good morning to everyone.

Dickie would say good morning back but she’s already sleeping
so I’ll say it for her. Good morning Jackie enjoy the bathroom scales for a little bit longer

You probably know Edwards personality already, but there is no cradling him!

Is Dickie hibernating properly now? Jacky is enjoying a bit of sunshine.

Zola managed to have a walk again at last on the breakwater today - he met a very old lady who was particularly fascinated by him -he is usually quite fond of old ladies too !
Richard has been working very hard on cutting back our hedges - a lot of plants have grown like mad with all the rain we have had.
I'm glad that Jacky is getting some extra time with her scales - she will have more memories to dream about them soon.
Love to all our forum friends from Angie and an exhausted Zola xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx

She hasn’t moved for a couple of days. Yesterday she was awake but not today.

I would say she's hibernating once she's slept for a week. Daisy used to hibernate after Jacky in late November and wake up before Jacky (early March).

Goodnight everyone

Natrah, Jacky and Angel Daisy

PS: I have a day off on Thursday and I hope to take some rubbish down to Leigh Tip before visiting Two Tree Island weather permitting. I then hope post a list of birds including Brent Geese.

Good morning everyone!

My friend in Malaysia found a python in front of her house. Professionals removed the snake and located a nest in a tree.

Will it be relocated? Was anything in the nest?

Good morning Sue.

My friend didn't say anything about the nest but the snake was returned to the jungle where it belongs. Wildlife doesn't know what to do with it's disappearing habitat.

Good evening everyone!

I had my day off today and both of us were out although Jacky slept when I put her out. I went to Two Tree Island as I had to go to Leigh Tip and below is list of what I saw. Anyhow I thought of Zola, Angie and Richard when I saw two robins but especially when I saw a Swallow still flying around. I didn't see any Brent Geese but I assume they are on their way from Siberia:

Birds:

Black-backed Gulls
Herring Gulls
Robins
Blue ****
Swallow
Pochard
Bar-tailed Godwits
Redshank
Turnstones
Oystercatchers
Shelduck
Mallards
Little Egrets
Avocets
Heron

Butterflies:

Small White
Peacock

Goodnight everyone

Lovely photos, Natrah. Zola has a Little Egret friend, who often likes to paddle by the breakwater. We call him Chappie Boy.

Thankyou Angie those little islands were full of birds but I had difficulty taking close ups because of the wind.

When we first moved to Devon, nearly 30 years ago,we went exploring on Bodmin moor one day, and saw a very unusual white bird standing in a large pool -we had never seen one like it before,and when we came
back, I looked in my bird books, which didn't mention it anywhere, not even as an "occasional visitor"!
It was a Little Egret, of course, and now there are quite a lot around, living around the Dart and Exe estuaries - and they are now mentioned in newer bird identification books ! I love their yellow feet.
It is fairly cold today, and I don't know if Zola will get his walk - but we will all go out soon for our usual look at the sea, of course.

Aww! He looks like he's running!

You also might like to know that Dozmary pool, where we first saw a Little Egret, is traditionally inhabited by the Lady of the Lake, who gave the great sword Excalibur to King Arthur, when he visited her there ! Lots of magic and tradition around there.
