Out of the Fuzz

A migraine or a weird 12 hour bug got me so bad yesterday. I was sick as a dog and the headache is still with me now but fading. I wanted to die.



This morning the rain, or to be more preceise the drizzle must have been bothering the wildlife. Firstly the parakeets were going nuts and so loud it was almost unpleasant to listen to, and then came the cockatoos - swooping in and aggressively screaming at the other birds. It was a crazy cacophony that lasted about an hour. Living in an inner city suburb with loads of traffic, pollution and a lot of housing, I continue to be happily astounded by the number of native visitors.



Tonight I'll be watching the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games (yawn) very briefly. A friend is performing and that's the only thing making me feel any interest at all.

The poor Queen flew 24 hours to declare these games open and on her travels around different cities so far she has been far from welcomed. Most reports talk of people lining the street in their hundreds. How embarrassing for her. I'm sure she wasn't expecting such an underwhelming lack of interest in her, but basically this is a sign of the people voting with their non presence - she's a nice old lady and all that but hey we don't need royalty being the head-head of this country!!!!
