What a haircut can do to you

Today I allowed myself to spend some money on me :D. So after work I went to the hairsalon to cut my hair :). The new hairdo is really simular to what I had with the difference that my hair isn't hanging in my eyes anymore and it is short enough again to wear it loose when I am working (we are not allowed to have loose long hair which means below the shoulders). I love the feeling of new cut hair, it feels light and bouncy again.

I know it is a really vain thing to get your hair done but I really looked like a scarecrow (not like that is a problem so close to "Halloween") and needed a good haircut. It just had been too long :D.

My rabbit!!!

Yesterday I celebrated my 27th birthday at my parents place. My actual birthday was much earlier but I was out of the country ;). My parents had a really good surprise. They gave me a statue of a rabbit that I can exchange for a real one :D.

I have wanted to get a lobsided french bunny for a really long time and now I get one!!! I am really happy with my gift. I had a bunny who died two months ago. After that I felt really lonely and depressed. I don't want a surogate for Wiebel but a big bunny has been a wish of mine for many many years.

My eye fell one these bunnies and they melted my heart. I have to wait for almost a half year before I can get one but I don't mind, they are worth waiting for.

Day 16 in the life of two little pigeons

My little ones are standing up and making noise. Mom is feeding them regularly and they are growing in a rate that I thought wasn't possible!!  They are flapping their wings already so flying will be their next step to take. I hope they will take the dive soon because I want my balcony back :D.

The pigeons have made a really big mess on my balcony and I am figuring out how to clean it up because I have health problems and can't use agressive cleaning materials but I have to clean it really good so no sickmaking stuff survives in there poo.

Who has any idea how to do this???

14 Days old and ugly!!!

It has been a while since my last entry but I have a really good excuse. The last week I had to go to Birmingham (England) for a congres about Nuclear Medicine. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The first day I was there it was my birthday and it is always fun to celebrate my birthday abroad :).

I came home late last night so I couldn't look at the little pigeons. Well, today I found out they are not little anymore!! And I can't say anything else then that they are really really REALLY ugly :P.

Nobody in his right mind can call these ones cute anymore :). I hope I will be able to clean everything after they leave because it looks really nasty. I looked on the internet and read there that pigeons fly away in 14 days but I think mine are a little slow and will take at least another week to try to fly. They are really quiet so I don't mind them except for the mess ;).

This weekend I will be celebrating my birthday with my family. I got a really nice gift from my closest friend. She gave me a ticket to go to the entire Twilight saga in a row. I don't know how I am going to do that because it means almost 10 hours in a movie theater (I HATE movie theaters). But I like Twilight and I like hanging out with my friend so I know it will be worth it :D.



Day 7 in the life of the little chicklings

It is so great that momma pigeon doesn't mind me looking too her children. When I open my balcony door she will leave them alone for some time and when I leave she comes back again.

The little ones have changed a lot the last three days. There feathers are coming trough which makes them looking kinda strange but I know they are growing well and hopefully will become fat city birds (a so called pest :D). Of course I have a new picture!

All the black pieces are where the feathers are coming. They are kinda ugly but stull really helpless en cute. Their eyes have oppened totally in the last two days so they can see me taking pictures. It makes them a little nervous so they even start to move a little bit ;).

I won't be able to make pictures in the coming week so this one will be the last one for several days. I hope that they will look like the real bird when I am able to make other pictures.

How does this work?

I have a problem with blogspot. It is just great to speak my mind and let you know what my life is like but I can't react to the reactions I get! I just isn't working! Every time I write a reaction blogspot can't place it! And now it won't even allow me to react to other blogs!!! Am I the only one with this problem or are there more???

Day four in the life of the two chicklings

Moma pigeon most be the best mother in the world to keep her offspring alive in this weather! It is cold and wet (completely normal for the Netherlands) and the wind is blowing like hell. The not so little chicklings have almost doubled in size! I can't imagine that only 4 days ago they were inside eggs. Of course I have a new picture but because of the bad weather it is a really dark one.

In only 10 days they will take their first dive from my 7th floor home. I hope I will be able to witness it but I need to leave the country for a couple of days so maybe I will miss it. So I enjoy them as long as I can :). I thought they would make a lot of noise but they are really quiet!!

Update!!

Today an update about the past few days. But first an update about the chicklings!

They are still alife!! Momma is keeping them warm all the time and is protecting them against the elements (it has been raining like hell these past few days). I tried to protect their place against the elements but I can't help the cold :(. It will be a miracle for them to survive.

Yesterday I had an amazing evening with two of my best friends. We call it a spiritual evening but it is more a good excuse to get the men out of the house and talk girlstuff. We also try out spiritual stuff (divination etc.) but mostly it is a lot of fun to be together. We went home pretty late (or early in the morning it depends....) so I slept most of my sunday away :). Tomorrow I have to work again. So, how was your weekend?

poor little chicklings

My poor little chicklings are getting really cold. Their mother tries to keep them warm but it is really windy and rainy today. It is also getting kinda cold and being on the seventh floor really doesn't help either. I tried to shelter their nest a little bit and put some food out for the mother. I so hope they will survive. This is all I can do without intervening to much in their young lifes but I still feel bad for them.

I started my weekend and I still don't know what to do with my free time. A friend asked me if I would come to a sprititual evening she is hosting (we never know what kind of spirit makes the evening a good evening ;)) but I still don't know if it is still on. Maybe I will go to the beach and let the wind blow me away.

The chicklings have arrived!

I have a really annoying pet on my balcony. It is a citydove (flying rat) with two little eggs. After 2 weeks of waiting the eggs have finally hatched and they are so cute!

My heart just melted when I saw them and now I am really happy that I am allowed to witness this miracle of life. I hope to see them grow and fly away in two weeks. What would you do if you found eggs on a really unconvenient place?

Sometimes you need to start new things

Well the title says it all. Sometimes you just need to start new things so you can find out if it works for you. I have never had a blog before (although I have used LiveJournal for some time) but now I feel the need to start one and just place things on it that I am thinking about or things from allday life.

I am curious how it will become in time :).
