On Friday, I was in work all day and DH was home, minding the dog. When I got home, DH took me into the kitchen, away from the tender ears of the young ones, and related to me a tale of some length, moderate tension and extreme hilarity. DH noticed that the budgie's seed bowl needed refilling, so he opened the cage door. Charlie, the afore-mentioned psychotic budgie of doom, seized the opportunity...

Every so often, I run a meme here entitled Q&A. Put simply, it's just an opportunity to kill some time for everyone by asking me five random (or sometimes, not so random) questions, and getting me to ask whoever's asked me them some questions of my own. As I say, a time killer. Not much more important than that, although some of the questions have been fascinating. Hopefully, the answers have been...

Meet the Queen Mum at 11, go for a haircut after lunch. This glimpse into Henry Moore's world was fascinating Henry Moore, My Father (Radio 4) was sprinkled with biographical gems, recounted by his daughter Mary, but mainly assessed his artistic significance. This was all neatly done by impressive contributors such as artists Antony Gormley and Anthony Caro. But it was the behind the scenes...

It's Better For You If You Eat It Here's a bit of Australian history you don't hear mentioned much : ''In the early 1800s, Australia was twice saved from famine by eating virtually nothing but hemp seed for protein and hemp leaves for roughage." You can buy hemp seeds to feed your budgie in Australia, and to mix in with your dog's food, you can even buy them to use as fish bait, but, stunningly,...

Saw Avatar at the weekend, and I'm no prog-fan - but have browsed past enough Yes, Budgie and Asia album covers to see it's clear the designs, geography and general look of the Avatar's alien planet have been borrowed from Roger Dean's portfolio: sky islands, butterfly coloured flying dragons, psychedelic shrubberies. Apparently Rog' hasn’t received any remuneration or credit - but surely this...

Despite assurances they had been banished from the public eye forever, Tony Abbott's Speedos have made their triumphant return to the front pages. Must have been a "none-core" promise.

There are more than 300 members of the parrot family and many of them, from the large macaw to the budgerigar (budgie Parakeets), make wonderful pets. Parrots are very social birds and they love to explore and, of course, "talk." But anyone who owns a pet parrot knows that these highly intelligent birds need a lot of interaction, companionship, and challenging toys to keep them happy and...

Every so often, I'll admit to be envious of someone else's writing, either because I wish I'd written something that they've written, or even wished I'd come up with the concept. It's even more horrible when it's something that I know that I'd never be able to write as well. So imagine how I feel when I - someone who has to struggle to make even a doodle look like something recognisable - see the following,...
