before i forget

I went downstairs to retrieve my shopping, and a bird flew just over my head and out the door... and when i looked down i saw two Starlings, the ones that have a nest out front of Vu's firm and come back every year.

The starlings remind me now of you, and how you had them at your place and i loved them coz they're pretty birds, but you hated them coz they tried to peck your head when you hung out the laundry.

I miss your clothes lines that were sticks and strings and how that crazy Maungaturoto wind dried the clothes faster than a dryer on the sunny days. And Uncle jimmys awesome door and random flowers. I miss bits of New Zealand all the time at random times and one day i will sit down and collate the amazing days and moments over there- but this time... the birds...

Hahaha... they reminded me of while we were there, how Toby dragged in dead birds from his explorations, and i was sorry i never got to see you screeching and yelling but was always happy to vacumm up the feathers for the laugh that mental image gave me.

Haha we had good times Nanna.

Thanks for those memories.
And dude i'm making lasagna today, a little help from above please? haha...
