Why.... oh why... is it always the day I am working at the falconry that I stay up late and get woken up early?
Feeling very achy and sleepy and regretting saying I would be there around half twelve. gives me time to work on my essay, do a quick house clean and wash my gel encrusted hair... but once I am out ther ein the sun I will be loving it. I am going to take my camera and take some photos of my birdies.
Hopefully I will get a chance to see Boomah, my little tawny owl who was thumped by a harris hawk someone managed to free fly while someone else had Boomah out. Not only is he not dead, he barely tore his pectoralis and will probably fly again. That is one lucky owl.
I have three leopard gecko eggs and I think there are more on the way. My geckos are sulky, bad tempered and sleepy. Or rather, are more so than normal. We had quite a heatwave a couple of days ago and our living room superheated. My fish were all gasping at the top and the gecko tank's temperature was obscene. With much panic and running around flinging open doors and moving animals it was all under control but the eggs collapsed very slightly so they are under emergency care... and I am pretty sure they are still alive. I would be very upset if they did not make it.
It sucks only getting one day off at a time - if I dont sleep and then am very busy, then I am rather tired for the rest of the week.
