How’s your 2024 been so far?

As I live in the UK, mine has been cold, dark, windy and rainy. Pretty much every single day.

I feel better than I did most of 2023. That’s saying something. 2023 is year for the records for me, so many new experiences and most of them nothing I wanted to experience.

@DHggmu yes I wish they could speak too. As little and short-lived as parakeets are they have a tiny little brain but can learn so many words, relevant tones of voice to express their emotions, ways to get my attention, how to be funny, how to use pronouns properly etc. I said they are like young children but their language skills are building by the week it seems. They like to watch me and comment on what I’m doing, ask some questions like “What will we do?” When they hear me talking about where I’m going or what we will do for the day. They’ll ask “What do we get?” When they see me cooking dinner and “What do we have?” Sometimes when I come into the house with bags of groceries. Like young children in a lot of ways.

Busy. I work full-time nights. Winter has been really mild. Lots of grey skies. I could use some sun. Only two real snowfalls. My snow blower sits in my entranceway. Must be good luck. And spring is next mid-month. Life is good. Time seems to speed up.
