Our Keas (alpine Parrots) are cheaky chappies.

On Saturday I drove up to Arthurs Pass to meet a campervan that needed some parts replaced on the heater. So took Mrs & Miss Grumpy and the mutt along for the ride up into the mountains.

While I sorted the camper, they walked into the village for a hot chocolate at the cafe - was a gorgeous day, but fookin cold up there. While Miss Grumpy was in buying the hot drinks Mrs Grumpy snapped this pic of a Kea sitting on the chairs.

Miss G came out and puts the hot chocolates down, as she does the Kea, quick as a flash, jumps over 2 tables, grabbed the packet of crisps she'd also bought and was away with it :D

Are thay the birds that also like pulling out windscreen rubber ?
 
... I forgot to say.
1st thing this morning I came down and opened the kitchen door to an overpowering stench of cat-poo. :(
Yup, Scratchy again. :mad: Now I really don't need all this as a start to my day and so her face fell into her own poop.
I got it all cleaned up from the floor turned round and one of the other cats (Alan) was asking for food.
I put food out for him and went to put away the things on the drainer.
While I was doing that I heard an unwelcome sound.....Having wolfed down all the food, he then threw it all straight back up over the kitchen floor. :mad:
More clean up.
I think I will go back to bed now and try again tomorrow.

I had a couple of lads this morning starting to rip out the kitchen on the ship, a nice fridge thats had rotten food in it for about
2 years.....I said what ever you do do not open the fridge door & what was the first thing the lad done 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Then all the juices were running out........
They came out barfing 🤣🤣🤣
 
Afternoon folks :).

Been a bit of a grumpy day mostly drizzle. Lots of rain and wind overnight.
But on the up side its a non stinky body house today:).
Already colleting walnuts that have fallen and the wind last night has given more. So I guess we will see the older villagers filling their pockets/pinnies as they walk past:).

I remember reading about Napoleon & Josephine. Apparently while on campaign he would send a runner back to her saying (typically) “Will be home in a fortnight. Do not wash.”

Was that so they both smelt the same I guess 🤔.
Also we now have a whole bunch of clean mugs, plates and eating irons (knifes & forks).
No they were not in the shower with us, we used the dishwasher:D

Good day today, got a lot done.
Even managed to turn the trailer and get it backed down the drive and onto the frontage without being shouted at by a motorist or the nasty neighbours.
The remains of yessdi's chicken is currently being turned into curry for me, a few slices for W to eat with sommit, and the rest became dogs' dinner.
Have a good evening folks!:):):)

Yer so lucky to have this happen. Eye miss oot onnit because me squirrels are well behaved.

When eye were a nippa we had a pet cat. To cut down on them puking we had to comb him regular. He was long haired. It reduced the fur balls. We had to train him to use the litter tray. Have yer gorra cat flap if they prefer doing it oot side.
