Hello

Thanks @Chasingsunsets I rang and checked. Dietician is next week. Hope you sorted your blood test.

Saw a pair of wattlebirds (well actually heard them first). Haven't had them for years. I also heard a fledgling magpie. I think the grey butcherbird was back this morning.

Sending a cheerio @Cuddlebear and hoping you're still on track for your admission after your scan. How are you and Wilbur?

Hey there @Dimity! how’s your week been? I had to google the wattle bird haven’t heard of them before! Oh and a young Maggie! Hope you don’t get swooped by the parents 🤣.

I have been loving the fig birds! Obviously breeding season for them!! Plover season too now hahah

How did you get on with the dietician @Dimity i had my 2nd appt with that physio and I actually really liked the class lol. I think I prefer not private lessons but small classes cos otherwise I get stage fright lol. Had a go on the reformer and did some other stuff so hope I can walk tomorrow lol

There are 2 sorts of wattlebird I've seen before @Chasingsunsets . Yes plover season here too but I don't know if my local pair are still here and breeding, saw only 1 a few weeks ago.

Well done re physio and reformer pilates. How's your back? Hope you're not feeling it.

My dietician appt isn't til tomorrow.

Loved your sunflower and aattle pics in your thread.

Sorry @Dimity missed ya msg glad I saw it now 😂. How’s your evening going?

wow two sorts of wattle bird, I’ll have to go back on google and have a look ☺️.

The plover swoops get serious here, lucky they swoop Indi not me. They are such interesting birds though like up against it nesting on the ground and then yeah how they try lead prey away and act injured etc.

lll attach a pic of a male and female fig bird unfortunately the male was in the shade so his bright yellow isn’t glowing but I really do appreciate them 😁, (pic attached)

Good luck with the dietician tomorrow, let me know how you find them if you want 😁. Yeah after physio today I wonder how I’ll feel tomorrow, focused on legs and some of the exercises were interesting! I think a lot of my problem is proprioception brain not knowing when my legs are etc but the a hip tilt has not helped🙄. I just want someone to say yep this is the issue A.B.C. And this is how we go about improving it. I like an assessment then a plan. If I don’t have this it doesn’t feel right and I start questioning if they actually know how to help 😜. Got to get less anxious right 🤪. Lovely chatting!

Yep little wattlebird and red wattlebird @Chasingsunsets .

I'm not good on propioception either and maybe it's worse since losing an eye. My legs can be a bit wonky too. Keep at it, the physio might get a better idea after seeing you in action. What helped me with diagnosis was paying heaps for a back MRI. Wish it was on Medicare.

Oh yeah!! I think I saw the red wattle bird when I first googled! @Dimity, pics are up by the way!! 🤩🙏. You can see the fig birds 😁.

oh yeah geez, loosing an eye would take a bit to adjust, was that awhile ago? You alright?

Hows your exercises going? Ha you should have seen me on the reformer could have been a bit comical I reckon 😂. I think I have something going on with my hip stabilisers on one side so it made some movements like jelly. Still observing this lady though like when I think back I just have an unsure vibe. We will see it was a good class. Also wish she’d say when I say weakness here or difficulty in this exercise why exactly I have difficulty with it. She doesn’t say a lot so just hoping shes all good lol. Oh that’s a good idea re mri, I did gave an xray which shows some stuff. I’d love an mri on my brain actually. Actually maybe not afraid of what they may find lol.

My bad eye trouble was years ago now @Chasingsunsets but it's still a bother.

The dietician said the same thing as the last one - heaps more protein. I don't eat much meat. She warned me off too many nuts due to oil content which was interesting as some people suggest going keto for mental health.

Here's another wattle. I haven't managed to get a photo of the butcherbird.

Sending a cheerio @Cuddlebear in case you get notifications. Hope your admission is off to a good start.
