Incredible as it may seem the Yellow Crested Wild Cockatoo (Eric) did when I was walking down the street with friend, see me and squawk several rimes and followed us down the street and he did fly over my unit block, and was waiting on the veranda for his biscuits, and he did also come back later in the day, I should ask the Prime Minister Gillard for a carers allowance, Only likes a certain kind of biscuit he will eat me out of house and home lol.

Today on my 73rd Birthday it has been a great day, and when I arrived home Janet my neighbour welcomed me with a card and some cakes and candles, but prior to this I did receive from my friend Adam in Nanjing a card and gift of a shoulder bag, perfect timing by the mail.
one of my friends in Taiwan asked who gave me the coat for my birthday, I informed if he looked at the pictures of me at the top of this blog dated 2007 and 1982 he would see the same coat, it is a leather coat I bought in Auckland New Zealand in 1978 and it was made in Spain, still looks like new

The day after arrival back from New Zealand I was welcomed home by my genuine friend Eric the Yellow Crested Cockatoo who has been coming to me since 2005

Today i had a very eventful trip back to Australia from New Zealand after traveling 3 hours by bus from mount Maunganui to the Auckland Airport. I was told that I was not booked on that flight, I said how come when I have my ticket and booking number here, the girl took ages checking and repeated that I was not booked on, she finally sent me to another area where I spent another half hour trying to sort things out, when the new lady said that I had rang up and canceled my booking, I said that is very odd why would I do that and now turn up, my blood pressure was getting very high and I was frustrated thinking I would not get on the flight, eventually they decided that my ticket was valid, and gave me a boarding pass, this did not leave me much time to do my shopping and things before boarding time, got there just before boarding time and low and behold boarding time was 45 minutes later, then we sat on the runway for ages there being a lot of fog; taking off an hour late, we flew over clouds all the way and here are some pictures of those clouds, you will see one when we arrived at Sydney that it was under a cloud of fog and we had to circle airport once,
