My new desk

Kiki just took a shower
HY's parents are abroad, so between now and late February I will be staying in suburban Surrey, and on two occasions I will be taking care of the parrot by myself whilst HY is partying away for Christmas, darn. Don't worry, I won't fall in love with the pet; it will be a distanced mutual respect between the feathered creature and me, and nothing else. However, the other day I managed to feed the bird three pine seeds. His beak came to my hand and picked them up one by one--I was pleased with such a rare contact. Because I need to work with my laptop and books often, HY has kindly made a decent, stable desk (using IKEA desk legs and a wooden board from a local store) to put in the spare room downstairs. As long as I have my own desk.
