I don't know how my great-grandmother did it, letting her Brummie fiancé go ahead of her to Aus, and being separated for three years, and writing letters that took six months to come and go

My grandparents were... odd as well - they met during WWII when my granddad was in the Army in occupied Holland - he met my gran (who is Dutch) who didn't speak English, yet they married and she moved to England - bet she didn't have half as much trouble moving!!!

the budgies were all labelled 'parakeets' in the pet store! but they're an Australian animule, so I told Dave that as an Aussie I know what they're called, thankyouverymuch, so they're budgies

the one I saw yesterday, which I HOPE is still there this afternoon when we go to buy one, is powder blue and pretty, like this:

SO cute and sweet... still a baby, with his ickle white wings

StP - *I* know they are called budgies too - I didn't realise they were from Oz though
